Details of the task

The EKB model of decision-making is ?based on the idea that a consumer is an information processing ?machine?. Although helpful in structuring this sequence…the model is not really useful in understanding real-life consumer decisions? (Beckmann cited in Solomon et al. 2010, p317). This observation might explain marketing practitioners? problems in understanding ethical consumer behaviour. Using relevant examples, discuss the limitations of cognitive-based decision-making models and identify alternative decision-making theories which may assist marketing practitioners in obtaining more thorough behavioural insights into the ethical consumer.

As a guide, you should attempt to include in your discussion:

? A comparison of relevant decision-making models such as The Nicossia, Howard-Sheth and/or EKB models (35 marks);

? An explanation of their strengths and limitations in helping marketers understand ethical consumers (35 marks);

? Identification of alternative theories which can help marketers achieve a greater understanding of ethical consumer decision-making (30 marks).
