Lo studio del processo decisionale del consumatore è stato oggetto di studio in molte discipline. Tuttavia, a volte gli individui prendono decisioni irrazionali, non ottimali. Le teorie classiche non riescono a spiegare le ragioni per cui il comportamento umano si basi su processi intuitivi e automatici, piuttosto che su meccanismi previsti e controllati. L'economia comportamentale ha raggiunto significativi progressi nella comprensione delle motivazioni del comportamento degli individui. Tuttavia, i risultati ottenuti sono poco integrati in studi di economia o di management. Questo lavoro rappresenta un tentativo di collegare i concetti di economia comportamentale e le teorie relative a pratiche di marketing per una più profonda comprensione del processo decisionale del consumatore, in particolare relativo all'area dell'elettronica di consumo. Il lavoro fa una panoramica sui concetti chiave del marketing e dell'economia comportamentale in relazione al processo decisionale del consumatore, dando molta importanza all'integrazione di queste due aree di studio per quanto riguarda il settore in rapido sviluppo dell’elettronica di consumo.

Abstract
Decision making process has been a special area of interest of many disciplines. However, sometimes individuals take not optimal, irrational decisions. Classical theories are invalid in attempts to explain the reasons why human behavior is based on intuitive and automatic processes, rather than planned and controlled mechanisms. Behavioral economics has reached significant advances in understanding the motives of people’ behavior. Nevertheless, its achievements are poorly integrated into economics- and business-related studies. This paper represents an attempt to link behavioral economics concepts and theories to marketing practices for a deeper understanding of consumer decision making process, particularly on the example of consumer electronics adoption. The work structures as the overview of the key concepts in marketing and behavioral economics in relation to consumer decision-making, attaching much importance to the crossover of these two sciences on the instance of the fast-developing industry of consumer electronics.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
