Introduction Of The Modern European SME Policy In 2005? (2008) The
consumer decision-making process illustrates the certain stages
consumers experience before making a final purchase decision. In
general, this decision-making process is acknowledge to be an
extraordinarily complex model which is affected by numerous factors,
such as personal, situational and socio-cultural influences. However,
the decision-making process also varies according to the type of
product (hedonic or utilitarian) and to the degree of involvement. This
project provides an insight into the different stages of the consumer
decision-making process and identifies possible factors which might
influence this process. Moreover, the increasing significance of the
Internet has considerably affected the consumers‟ decision-making
process, in particular their pre-purchase behaviour. This can be mainly
attributed to the wide variety of product information online available
as well as to interactive decision aids, which allow consumers to
compare different products in-depth. However, despite all the means
provided by the Internet, there are still concerns associated with its
use for information search or online purchase which might affect
consumers‟ attitudes towards the use of the Internet in a negative way.
When deciding which information sources to consult, factors such as
trust and believability play an important role in the consumers‟
decision-making process.However, the study also demonstrates that event
tough consumers regard certain information as credible, they prefer to
consult a variety of information sources in order to minimise the risk
associated with the purchase. Nevertheless, it has to be taken into
consideration that the stages of the decision-making process vary
according on the consumer‟s level of involvement, as consumers devote
more effort to their information search and the different evaluation
stages if the purchase is considered to be of high risk.
