6. LITERATURE REVIEW
(Kotler and Keller, 2012) It is worth noting that consumer buying
behaviour is studied as a part of the marketing and its main
objective it to learn the way how the individuals, groups or
organizations choose, buy use and dispose the goods and the
factors such as their previous experience, taste, price and
branding on which the consumers base their purchasing
decisions.
(Schiffman and Kanuk, 2007),(Rose and Samouel, 2009) consumer
searches information related to desired product or service.
Information search process can be internal and external. While
internal search refers to the process where consumers rely on
their personal experiences and believes, external search
involves wide search of information which includes addressing
the media and advertising or feedbacks from other people.
