Culture theory strengthens the expectation that markets work, not because they are comprised of autonomous individuals who are free of social sanctions but because they are powered by social beings and their distinctive ideas, beliefs, values, and knowledge. It can contribute to understanding and promoting development where group relationships predominate and individualism is tempered.

Understanding the Consumer
Culture and Cultural Change

Understanding Culture
Culture is the lens through which consumers view products and try to make sense of their own and other people’s behaviour..
Culture dictates the manner of how people consume, the priority of needs and wants they attempt to satisfy.
Consumption choices cannot be understood without considering the cultural context in which they are made.
Therefore:
Culture determines
the overall priorities that a consumer attaches to different activities and products
the success or failure of specific products and services.
What is Culture?
Culture is “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.”
(Edward B. Tylor, 1871)
What is the difference between the two?
Culture is "the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from another."
(Hofstede, 1991, p.5)

Definitions of Culture
“Culture may be defined as a set of values, ideas, artefacts, and other meaningful symbols that help individuals to communicate, interpret, and evaluate as members of society.“ (Engel, Blackwell & Miniard, 1990, p. 3).
‘Culture is a society’s personality and describes what people have in common. It is the total sum of learned beliefs, values, and customs that direct the consumer behaviour of members of a particular society’ (Schiffman et al., pp. 282)

The demographic factors such as population size and rate of growth, levels of education, socio-cultural factors such as cultural values, religion and geographic factors such as climate or topography. While each of these different factors can be clearly identified, it is important to remember that they interact with each other, as well as conditioning variables at other levels of context.
Meso: within country differences in ethics groups, language, lifestyle, culture, topography
In China, for example, there are marked differences in the economic infrastructure, consumer purchasing power and distribution channels between different regions (Batra, 1997; Cui and Liu, 2000).
Micro: Local level info on market, economy
This is defined here as consisting of the basic physical infrastructure in a village, town or city, including roads, water, electricity, the market infrastructure, i.e. the number and type of stores avail ...
