Consumer Behaviour is a European text that is built around how students actaully learn consumer behaviour. Evans, Foxall and Jamal offer a mainstream consumer behaviour textbook, based on semesterised compulsory or optional modules on undergraduate and postgraduate business and marketing programmes.
