...is created" (Day 1990, p. 163). Day (1990) addresses the issues in analyzing customer value and proposes that it can be expressed in a "value equation": "Customer's Perceived Benefits-Customer's Perceived Costs=Perceived Customer Value" (p. 142). Although Day's approach to customer value is basically sound, some details regarding consumer customers remain unclear. For example, the process by which consumers perceive product benefits is nebulous: Day particularly addresses product valuation by industrial customers in detail, but this is only in principle a part of a much more complex process of product valuation by consumers. Hence a theoretical framework which underlies the consumers' overall product valuation is still missing in the literature. Such a framework should address the issues of how consumers perceive the benefits and costs of products, as well as what possible benefits and costs consumers may perceive from products in the market. The current paper tries to fill these gaps. In addition, the word "value" has discrepant meanings in the marketing literature, especially between its two areas: marketing strategy and consumer behavior. What marketing strategists mean by "customer value" is quite...

...to the funding, But as a strong organization Aurora is still standing and fighting for what they believe and that is “Making difference in their life.” Risk management seeks to reduce potential negative impacts on patients, staff and the organization through the identification and reduction of potential dangers or threats (Authenticity Consulting, LLC., 2010). At the same time when they are using risk management they are also using quality management because they are ensuring that they are giving their patients the right quality of care that they deserve. In the Aurora organization they look in the best interest not only to protect their consumers, but to also protect their employees.

...CONSUMER BEHAVIOR TOWARDS THE NEW PACKAGING OF FMCG PRODUCTS Mitul Deliya Assistant Professor, S. K. College of Business Management, Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University, Patan Email: deliya.mitul@gmail.com ABSTRACT The importance of packaging design as a vehicle for communication and branding is growing in competitive markets for packaged FMCG products. This research utilized a focus group methodology to understand consumer behavior toward such products. The challenge for researchers is to integrate packaging into an effective purchasing decision model, by understanding Consumer’s behavior towards the packaging of FMCG products. When consumers search for and process information in-store, the product's package can contain relevant and useful information for the consumer. Product packaging forms the end of the 'promotion-chain' and is close in time to the actual purchase and may therefore play an important role in predicting consumer outcomes. Packages also deliver brand identification and label information like usage instructions, contents, and list of ingredients or raw materials, warnings for use and directives for care of product. INTRODUCTION “Packaging is the container for a product – encompassing the physical appearance of the container and including the design, color, shape, labeling and materials used” Packaging has a huge role to play in the positioning of products. Package design shapes consumer perceptions and can be the determining factor in point-of-purchase...

...Environmental and Consumer Influences Analysis Nikki Casalena-Pogue PSY322 March 19, 2012 April Ward Environmental and Consumer Influences Analysis People should not be pigeonholed into one or two categories therefore companies have to expand their brands to fit into the lives of consumers. People are unique and so are the preferences of each man and woman. A product, such as laundry detergent, that so many consumers use, the manufacturer has to expand that product to suit the various needs and desires of the consumer. Many factors influence the purchase of a product: psychological factors and social factors. Along with external factors that affect consumer behavior, such as social, ecological, and cultural. Psychological factors are termed by a science dealing with the study of behavior in people (Psychological Factors, 2012). The factors that influence consumer behavior toward laundry detergent purchases are personality and family, among others. The personality of the purchaser determines which type of detergent he or she buys. The consumer can choose from more than 80 different laundry detergent brands in the United States (Laundry Products: Laundry Detergents, 2012), but the consumer typically will choose just one and maintain purchasing that brand. Personality influences why people continue with one brand through consistency. Consistency shows there is generally a recognizable order and regularity to behaviors. Essentially...
