Model building in marketing: a review of the British literature
Abstract
Makes a timely assessment of the specifically British contribution in the field of marketing models, which provides a useful basis for further development. Reviews UK writing on models of market behaviour, advertising models, distribution models, pricing models and new‐product models. Makes a distinction between macro‐ and micro‐models: a macro‐model does not require information about individual units in the market, such as households: micro‐models need data about individual units, therefore require much more information. Concludes that the findings give valuable insight into consumer purchasing patterns – providing early prediction of future success or failure.
