Your task
Individually, you are required to prepare a 1200 word investigation (research-based) analysis based on your previous two shopping trips with a family member or friend.
Assessment Description
In this individual assessment, students will be given an opportunity to critically review the place of consumption in modern society by showing a broad knowledge of current issues in buyer/consumer behaviour. By doing this, you will be able to explain and communicate the complexities of consumer decision-making processes, including the influence of situational, psychological and social factors.
Assessment Instructions
Let’s imagine that you have been assigned the role of a marketing consultant to investigate contemporary issues in consumer behaviour related to online shopping. Using reflective analysis in the first assessment, you must consider:
o Which possible challenges do you, as the marketing consultant, forsee if both of the shopping trips were to occur online.
o Suggest three strategies to offset these challenges by considering broader consumer behaviour topics such as:
? Changing consumer attitudes towards online shopping;
? Cultural/Social factors that would positively contribute towards the online purchase of the purchased products/services in both of the shopping trips;
? Positive influence on consumer’s response towards digital technologies.
You are required to reference at least 8 sources of information that are referenced (both In-text and end text) in accordance with Kaplan Harvard Referencing Guide. These may consist of government publications, industry reports, and journal articles.
