The term CB is defined
as the behaviour that consumers’ display in searching for, purchasing, using,
evaluating and disposing of products and services that they expect will satisfy
their needs. CB focuses on how individuals make decisions to spend their
available resources (time, money, effort) on consumption related items.
The term CB describes
two different kinds of consuming entities: the personal consumer and the
organizational consumers. The Personal consumer buys goods and services for his
or her own use, for the use of the household or as a gift for a friend. In each
of these contexts, individuals, who arereferred to as end users or ultimate
consumers, buy the products for fine use.
The second category of
consumer- the organizational consumer- includes profit and not-for-profitbusinesses,
government agencies (local, state, and national), and institutions (e.g.
Schools, hospitals, and prisons), all of which must buy products, equipments
and services in order to run their organization.
