Step 1. Need recognition/problem awareness
Emotional need →
Need: Have more free time to
devote to his personal life – social
Problem: How to fulfil his need
when his presence in the squad is required.
Nevertheless, there are also:
Functional need → Based on the basic needs of
human beings - food and petrol - physiological
Unpredictable need → Based on unexpected
events, unplanned & unpredictable – car breaking
down – safety & security
He wants some personal time
I feel like my
Ironman suit spends
more time with me
than real people…
(Jobber and Fahy, 2015)
I’m sorry…

SUPERANTIVILAINEADA
BLECOOKIEYOUONLYE
ATONCE will be mine!
I accept
congrats!
What can you possibly have
done that deserves
congratulations? HRRRR!?!
Step 2. Information search
You’re the manager
here. Where is the
archive with the
sources about the
machine?
I have no idea
what I am doing
here…
Hope…. I can
trust you.. Or…
Amm... Are you
sure it fine to let
Black Widow do
research by
herself?
I want you to tell me
everything you know
about it!
Is that Stark’s machine??
Huh… Yes…
Step 2. Information search
Let’s see what
exactly this
thing can do...
The controls are all
responding
immediately!!
The lag time is
zero. Hmm…
Looks
interesting…
They can benefit us on
multiple levels…Why I
know that? Because I
am smart!
After consulting my
friends, I have concluded
that we do not need any
kind of machine in our
fight to defend Earth. The
best fighting machine
here is me!
I believe that these
THROWAWAYSTICS
are more than
adequate help for us.
Step 3. Evaluation of alternatives
I don’t care… (Playing
music) *I’m on a
highway to hell*Leave it to me. I
know exactly what to
do. I have a-a-a-a-
animal intuition.
Step 3. Evaluation of alternatives
I’ll definitely buy it!
There is no way they will
react negatively…
This machine is going to
change all our lives!
Step 4. Purchase
Pic Stark buying online this product
Why did you do

Second fighting
Hulk was opposed to
this purchase!!
Hhhrrr!

But… why are we
fighting??!
Step 5. Post-purchase evaluation of decision
I stand by my
decision!
You are going
down!
Step 5. Post-purchase evaluation of decision
Thank you for attention!
