Consumer Behaviour : a nordic perspecitve

This is the first Nordic textbook on Consumer Behaviour. The aims of the book are to describe and explain consumer behaviour in general and stimulate reflection on Nordic consumer behaviour in particular. The book is unique in that it includes contributions from key researchers in the Nordic countries representing a variety of disciplines. The different perspectives, theories and methods that are used in the various disciplines contribute to a better and more comprehensive understanding of the diverse dimensions of consumption.
This textbook emphasises the Nordic perspective by including examples from the Nordic countries. The literature review is international, however, and refers to the most central literature on the topic. Although the textbook is mainly aimed at undergraduate and graduate students at universities in the Nordic countries, it will also be of interest to researchers, companies and organisations in the private and public sectors, government agencies and consumer protection agencies.
The book consists of 30 chapters and is divided into four parts. In the first part of the book, the focus is on consu-mers and consumption in society. Part two deals with consumers as individuals. In part three, the focus is on consumers in the sociocultural context in which consumption is constructed. Part four deals with consumers and communication.
