Q3) In the early stages of development, consumer behavior was known as buyer behavior. What important aspect of the exchange process does this change in name reflect?

Answer: Buyer behavior reflects an emphasis on the act of purchase, but this exchange is dependent upon a number of pre-purchase and post-purchase perspectives and behaviors. To fully understand why an exchange is made, researchers must look at decisions and influences before the exchange, as well as the expectations of what happens after the exchange. The study of consumer behavior accounts for pre-purchase and post-purchase issues along with purchase issues, rather than simply buyer behavior.
