Q1) Discuss how social environment acts as an external influence on a consumer. Answer: Answers will vary. The social environment includes people and groups who help shape a consumer's everyday experiences. Some influence is personal, meaning the consumer actually knows the people; some is impersonal, coming from unknown people like celebrities; and still other influence is virtual, coming from unknown sources online or in social networks. In addition, any time a consumer chooses to do something, at least in part, to please or appeal to another consumer, the social environment plays a role in that process. Group influence is one mechanism through which social influences work. Simple decisions ranging from what breakfast foods to buy to complicated things like attending a university all are shaped by subtle influences like acculturation, the sometimes not-so-subtle influence of family and friends.
Q2) Individual differences have little effect on the value experienced by consumers and the reaction consumers have to consumption.
A)True
B)False
