Read Misner, I. (2002). Word-of-mouth: the world’s best known marketing secret. Entrepreneur, June 30. Available November 21, 2013, athttp://www.entrepreneur.com/article/53188#

  • What are the larger marketing implications of the importance of word-of-mouth messages as affecting purchase behavior?

Culture can be understood as shared beliefs, customs, and norms among individuals of a specific group. Thus, we can consider religion, ethnicity, occupations, and certain interest groups (environmental advocates, fans of particular kinds of music or sports teams, etc.) as cultures or sub-cultures that exist within a society. There area work-related cultural groups, racial cultural groups, music-oriented cultural groups, etc.
