Buyer Behavior Model Application

Apply the model of consumer behavior (Exhibit 11 on page 89 of your textbook) to the product/service you selected in Module 1. Explain how the model affect the purchase process as it relates to the product/service. Providing a list of the steps or a graphic of the model is not adequate, you should explain how the process works in the real world using your own words supported by research.

You must use at least two articles from Trident Library’s online databases (Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete and/or Proquest Central). The focus of this assignment is application and critical thinking. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. The paper should be written in third person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate. For more information see Differences Between First and Third Person .
