The document discusses four general models of consumer behavior:
1) The economic model views consumers as rational actors seeking to maximize utility given scarce resources.
2) The psychological model views behavior as learned through stimuli, responses, and reinforcements.
3) The psychoanalytic model examines subconscious motives and how perception and experiences influence decisions.
4) The sociological model emphasizes the impact of social groups, culture, and reference groups on consumption patterns.
A reference group involves one or more people whom someone uses as a basis for comparison or point of reference in forming effective and cognitive responses and performing behaviors.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

2. Models of Consumers
Consumers approach the marketplaces differently; they go though the buying
decision process differently as it gets impacted by internal and external forces.
Researchers have attempted to understand the dynamics of consumer decision
making and they have classified four varying views and perspectives. These are
i) Economic
ii) Cognitive
iii) Passive
iv) Emotional.
3. Models of Consumers
Economic view: According to the economic perspective of studying
consumers, the consumer is regarded as being rational.
The model assumes that there exists in the market a state of perfect
competition;
the consumer is aware of the various alternatives;
he has the knowledge and ability to rank all of these;
and he finally takes a rational decision.
He takes a decision and makes a choice as after taking into account the
cost and benefit, and the overall value in economic terms.
4. Models of Consumers
Cognitive view: The consumer is regarded as being a problem solver, who searches for
products to fulfill his needs/wants.
Consumer decisions are based on information gathering and processing.
The consumer is believed to take decisions after a lot of thought and deliberation, so as to get
maximum benefit and value.
Passive view: The consumer is regarded as irrational and impulsive, who easily succumbs to
the selling and promotional efforts of the marketer.
It is assumed that the consumers are submissive to the self-serving interests of the marketer and the
salespersons are powerful.
Emotional view: The consumer is regarded as being emotional and impulsive who takes
decisions based on moods and emotions.
Marketers must put in efforts and create positive mood and emotions.
5. MODELS OF CONSUMERS
i) Economic view:
- consumer is regarded as being rational.
- he takes a decision and makes a choice as after taking into account the cost and benefit, and the overall value
in economic terms.
ii ) Cognitive view:
- the consumer is regarded as being a problem solver, whose decisions are based on information gathering and
processing.
- he takes a decision after a lot of thought and deliberation, so as to get maximum benefit.
iii) Passive view:
- the consumer is regarded as irrational and impulsive, who easily succumbs to the selling and promotional efforts of
the marketer.
iv) Emotional view:
- the consumer is regarded as being emotional and impulsive.
- he takes decisions based on moods and emotions.
6. MODELS OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
The consumer models refer to varying orientations and perspectives with
which consumers approach the marketplace and how/why they behave
as they do. They refer to how the varying orientations impact the buying
decision process and overall buyer behavior.
Various models have been proposed by researchers; these models can
be classified as
(a) General models
(b) Specific models.

9. Economic Model
The Economic model: The economic model explains buying behavior
from an economic perspective;
The assumption is that resources are scarce viz. a viz unlimited needs; a
consumer seeks value: he wants maximum benefit at minimum cost.
The economic models showed concern as to how scarce resources were
allotted to satisfy the unlimited needs and wants.
Economic models can be further classified into Micro economic models
and Macro economic models.
10. Economic Model – Micro economic
Micro economic models:
The micro economic models focus on the act of purchasing; they focus on what an
average consumer would purchase and in what quantity; they also ignore why and how
the needs/wants get prioritized.
According to the micro economic view, consumers are rational in nature and value utility.
With resources being scarce, they would allocate money on their purchases in a way that
satisfies them maximally.
The consumer decisions are thus based on benefit to cost ratio; the consumer would settle
on an alternative that provides the highest ratio in terms of marginal utility.
The limitations of studying consumer behavior with this orientation is that consumers are not
always rational, and they seek average /adequate satisfaction and not total satisfaction.
Also, consumers assess the benefit to cost ratio differently; they define the two variables
“cost” and “ benefit” variedly; the issue is subjective. The view is also silent about other
forces that operate during the buying process.
11. Economic Model – Micro economic
The macro economic models focus on the overall trend in the economy that has an impact and
is also impacted upon by buying patterns. They focus on the aggregate flows in the economy.
Conclusion about consumer behavior are made after analyzing such flows.
This approach could also be studied with two orientations:
a) Relative income hypothesis: A persons’ expenses is influenced by his social surrounding and
group. With his income being constant, the relative expenses and the resultant savings will not
change, until and unless, there is a big change in the total income. The hypothesis holds that
what and how much a consumer spends is not solely dependent on income, but is influenced
by peers.
b) Permanent income hypothesis: Even if the total income increases, people initially exhibit
inertia towards spending as they want to accumulate wealth; so purchasing pattern does not
change immediately.
The limitations of studying consumer behavior with this orientation is that the view is silent about
other forces that operate during the buying process.
12. The Psychological model
The psychological model, also called the Learning Model or the Pavlovian
Learning Model, was proposed by classical psychologists led by Pavlov.
According to this model, consumption behavior and decision making is a
function of interactions between human needs and drives, stimuli and
cues, responses and reinforcements.
People have needs and wants; They are driven towards products and
services (stimuli and cues), which they purchase (response), and they
expect a satisfying experience (rewards and reinforcements); Repeat
behavior would depend on reinforcement received.
13. The Psychological model
The model believes that behaviour is deeply affected by the learning experiences of the
buyers; and learning is a product of information search, information processing, reasoning and
perception.
Reinforcement leads to a habit formation and the decision process for an individual becomes
routinized, leading to brand loyalty. Consumers also learn through trial and error and resultant
experiences that get stored in our memory.
The limitations of studying consumer behavior with this approach is that the model seems
incomplete.
Learning is not the only determinant in the buying process and the decision making.
The model totally ignores the role played by (a) other individual determinants like perception,
personality (the sub-conscious), attitudes; as well as (b) interpersonal and group influences.
14. Psychoanalytic model
The psychoanalytic model was proposed by Sigmund Freud. The model tries to explain consumer
behaviour as a resultant of forces that operate at subconscious level.
The individual consumer has a set of deep seated motives which drive him towards certain buying
decisions
According to the model, buyers needs and desires operate at several levels of consciousness. Not
all of the behavior is understandable and explainable by the person.
Also not all of human behavior is overtly visible and explainable. Sometimes, the behavior may not
be realized and understood by the person himself. Such causes can be understood by drawing
inferences from observation and casual probing.
There have been two more contributions that have been made to the psychoanalytic approach,
these are a) Gestalt model b) Cognitive theory
15. Psychoanalytic model
Gestalt model: The model based on Gestalt principles (meaning “patterns
and configuration”) lays emphasis on the perceptual processes that
impact buying behavior.
According to this model, consumption behavior and decision making is
based on how a consumer perceives a stimuli ( the product and the
service offering and the 4 Ps) viz a viz. the external environment and his
own prior experiences.
16. Psychoanalytic model
Cognitive theory: The model proposed by Leon Festinger, views the
consumer as one who faces a feeling of anxiety (dissonance), while he is
making a purchase; this is because he is faced with many alternatives, all
of which seem desirable.
Post-purchase, this dissonance increases even further.
There is an imbalance in the cognitive structure; and the consumer tries to
get out of this state as soon as he can.
So a buyer gathers information that supports his choice and avoids
information that goes against it.
17. Sociological model
The model is based on findings of Thorstien Veblen, and focuses on the role
played by social groups and social forces.
A person’s consumption pattern and buying behavior is affected by social
factors; his family, friends, peers, social groups, reference group and
culture have a major role to play.
According to the model, man is perceived as a “social animal”, and thus
he conforms to norms of its culture, sub culture and groups amongst which
he operates.
Emulative factors and social influences have a big role to play in consumer
decision making.
