Context:
This assessment is a case analysis of the your own personal consumer behaviour. It aims to
develop an understanding of key principles of consumer behaviour by applying subject
topics and theories to your own thoughts and actions as a consumer. It allows for a valuable
reflection on complex theoretical concepts as well as insight into the role of marketing
strategy in influencing decision-making.
Instructions:
Students are required to keep a reflective diary of selected consumer activities ideally from
Module 1 of semester. This can take the form of field notes on a word/text document, notes
on your mobile phone or even audio recordings. During this time you are to log and detail
the process behind purchasing three (3) medium to high involvement items. These items
may be irregular purchases and involve complex buyer behaviour.
MKG102 Assessment 3_Individual Case Analysis Module 6 Regular purchases of food, drinks, or other habitual low involvement day-to-day
consumption products are excluded from the log. These field notes /recordings will then be
used as the basis of compiling Part 1 of the report.
Part 1 – Consumer Decision Making Process
Analyse each of your purchases using the consumer decision-making process model
presented in Module 1. You should use a sequential flow of information for each purchase.
Some suggestions are offered in terms of topics you may like to consider when completing
Part 1.
Need Recognition
What is the perceived problem?
What need is this purchase satisfying?
What is your actual state and what is your desired state?
Is this a ritual purchase or something you have never bought before?
Pre-purchase search / Information sources
What internal or external sources were considered and sought out when making the
decision?
Evaluation process
What were the alternatives /what products/services were included in your evoked set?
What was excluded? Why?
What evaluative criteria did you use in this purchase?
Purchase
Were you influenced by physical, social or temporal surroundings?
Write a page paper – Describe any other external influences at the point of purchase.
Post-purchase behaviour
On reflection of the purchase what were your post-purchase evaluations? Were you
satisfied /dissatisfied with your purchases? Why?
Did you suffer post purchase cognitive dissonance? If so how did you deal with this post
purchase anxiety?
Did the company have any strategies in the post-purchase phase that influenced your
decision?
How has the purchase affected your loyalty to the brand purchased?
MKG102 Assessment 3_Individual Case Analysis Module 6 Part 2: Reflection and Analysis of internal and external influences
In this section try and provide a rationale to your behaviour and consumption experience
using relevant consumer behaviour terminology.
Internal Influences
What was your motivation for the purchase? (Think conscious and unconscious needs and
use relevant motivational theories to justify). What were the other internal influences at
play in your decision making process for each product. Apply other relevant consumer
behaviour theory in terms of: Perception, Learning, Attitudes, and Personality topics.
External Influences
Were there any relevant external influences that may have affected your decision (such as
social and cultural influences).
It is critical in answering the above criteria that you apply relevant consumer behaviour
theory in your assignment. You can either analyse each purchase individually or you could
compare or contrast each purchase as you develop the report. You could also choose to
integrate the discussion of Part 1 and Part 2 as another approach to complete the report.
You are also encouraged to include any additional consumer behaviour research that has
been conducted in the chosen product categories.
If you need clarification on any of the above please speak to your learning facilitator.
