Full textEl arbitraje de consumo busca resolver de manera voluntaria, rápida y con carácter vinculante, los conflictos entre consumidores y proveedores. Así, los consumidores obtienen una solución definitiva a los problemas surgidos con empresas en un plazo mucho más corto; además de recibir una indemnización por los daños ocasionados. Sin embargo, ¿Qué pasa cuando el acceso a este procedimiento ya no es universal a todos los consumidores?.En este artículo, el autor busco revelar los problemas en torno a acceso a la justicia del consumo y descubrir si realmente los mecanismos nacionales, tal como están diseñados, cumplen sus objetivos de protección.

Full textIt is hypothesized that a respondent's evaluation of product descriptions can be influenced by the diffusion context which characterizes them. An attempt is made to show that such a context can be used to elicit different "best product" alternatives for different stages of the adoption curve and, prior to market introduction, can help predict time-dependent changes to be made to the product's features as adoption takes place.

Full textThe goal of this work project is to help Nestum understand its consumers as to better comprehend the needs, tastes and routines of the target consumer, children with ages between 6 and 10. Knowing one's consumers is vital to stay relevant and also understand how to innovate and differentiate in a day and age where private labels are increasingly becoming consumed which has a negative impact on brands such as Nestum. Additionally with the ever more diverse and connected worlds, cultures and habits are being changed which affect how, when and what products are consumed. In conclusion, the main goal of this work project is to understand what children are eating, what are their routines and habits as to help Nestum remain relevant as a brand with a strong cultural attachment in Portugal.

Full textEste estudo investiga o comportamento do consumidor de baixa renda frente aos riscos inerentes à escolha dos itens que compõem sua cesta de alimentação. A restrita renda desta população limita a realização de gastos adequados com educação, saúde, recreação e outras necessidades, fazendo com que a escolha da cesta de alimentos tenha um peso especial na expressão dos seus desejos e preferências. Este fato aponta para uma percepção mais aguçada dos riscos incorridos durante a seleção da cesta, algo naturalmente mais trivial para indivíduos que dispõem de mais recursos. Como este consumidor não tem recursos para refazer compras equivocadas ou corrigir experiências negativas de consumo, a frustração proveniente de possíveis erros na escolha de produtos pode sair cara. A análise dos fatores geradores de risco e de suas respectivas estratégias de mitigação, propostos por este estudo de natureza exploratória, revela a complexidade típica de decisões sujeitas a múltiplas restrições.
This study investigates the behavior of low-income consumers when faced with the inherent risks associated with choosing the food items that make up their regular diet. Their restricted budget limits expenditures on necessities such as education, healthcare and entertainment, which in turn, gives the choice of food items a special role in the expression of these consumers` wishes and preferences. This suggests that low-income consumers have a more acute perception of the risks incurred during the selection of the items, something perceived as trivial for wealthier individuals. Since these consumers has no extra resources to undo their mistakes or fix negative consumption experiences, the frustrations spawned from possible purchase errors may be high. The analysis of the risk generating factors and their respective coping strategies, proposed by this exploratory study, reveals the typical complexity of decisions that are subjected to multiple restrictions.

Full textA three phase investigation into the utility of wine consumer opinion as a viable source of information to wine consumers in South Africa. The research demonstrates that existing marketing and expert opinion is inappropriately constructed, using paradigms that are overly simplistic or language that is not valued by consumers. The paper further investigates the use of visual representations of wine to communicate the "tasting notes" of consumers, providing a first access trigger which can be quickly and accurately interpreted into an assessable taste for the wine. Lastly it examines the benefits of using consumers to provide narrative reviews of the wine, in whatever terms they choose, to represent the consumption experience of the wine.

Full textThis study focuses on the relations between consumption, consumers and environmental change seen from a holistic perspective. The purpose of the study is to examine the attitudes and knowledge among consumers, about consumption, well-being, and environmental issues. To study these questions, I did personal qualitative semi-structural interviews and literature studies. My research showed that now many of the interviewed persons were familiar with the concept of sustainable development. However, the subjects showed to have good knowledge on climate change and other environmental and social problems related to consumption. To most of the interviewed persons, well-being meant to have “enough”, explained as housing, work, food, and especially good health. None of the consumers were satisfied with the information about different commodities and they all had different ideas of how information about consumption could be improved. The most experienced barrier to the consumer’s possibility to consume more sustainable, was time or rather lack of time in everyday life to plan the purchases, as well as personal economy.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 84-87).
The Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry has existed for decades with a high household penetration. Individual firms started out as small family owned businesses and then gradually became more "industrialized" via acquisitions. Historically, a low capital cost of entry, as well as high geographic dispersion encouraged fragmentation of competition. Overcapacity encouraged product proliferation; relatively low profitability produced little innovation, reducing the overall loyalty of consumers to CPG products today. Consumer habits changed quickly with the introduction of new offerings, further pressuring CPG manufacturers. A key CPG issue today is how to reduce cost base and overcapacity to enable investment in innovation, and branding. Cost reduction is expected from simplification (SKU's, products, lines etc), capacity consolidation, and a reduction in the fixed cost component of production. It is the belief that value creating innovation in the industry will enable the CPG industry to regain relevance and loyalty with the consumer while being more efficient (reducing costs), and enabling the investment necessary to sustain profitable growth. The annual organic growth in the CPG industry ranges between 2-6%. This thesis analyzes the effects of technology on marketing, as a value creating catalyst for profitable growth. The analysis starts with a review of the frameworks on strategy proposed by Hax, evolutions in consumer shopping behavior by Falk, as well as developments in technology based marketing by Coviello. The thesis further reviews practical technology applications currently in the CPG field. The consumer survey section in the thesis evaluates three technology device concepts (FAST LANE, PRODUCT GPS, and AUTO REORDER) that were developed using technology lead-users. The information presented and conclusions argued in this thesis suggest that the technology device concepts have a strong value creating effect in marketing and on the business; a benefit that is appropriated to the consumer, the retailer, and the CPG manufacturer. The final pillar in the survey is an interview with two major retailers in the Boston area that validate the potential and willingness to implement such mutually value creating programs.
