The objective of this e-book is to extend the debate on the role of culture in consumer theory and examine psychological and other influences on consumer behavior in cross-cultural and cross-national contexts. The articles chosen for this edition include studies that examine sub-cultures within a single country, as well as several that move beyond the dominant US/Western European consumer sampling frame. The topics investigated range from psychological investigations of consumer perceptions and motivations, to behavioral assessments of communication and purchase. Overall, the resulting nine articles provide new insights into the latest cross-national and cross-cultural consumer research, which enhances theoretical and practical understanding across a varied set of contexts involving data from fifteen different countries.
