Social Groups • Primary group – with whom a person interacts frequently and whose norms are considered important • Secondary group – with whom a person interacts frequently and whose norms are considered weakly important • Membership groups – in which an individual is claiming to be a member is recognized as such by the leader and/or the key members of the group • Symbolic group – with which a person identifies him/herself without a formal membership, voluntarily adopting its norms and values © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 4
Reference Groups • Any individual or a group of individuals that can significantly influence your behaviour (Bearden & Etzel, 1982) • Consumers use them as sources of attitudes, beliefs, values or behaviours • They can act as a point of comparison • These groups can provide a setting and can enforce standards of behaviour © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 5
Types of Reference Groups • Aspirational - Those against whom we would like to compare ourselves and aspire to belong to them. • Associative - Those who more realistically represent our current equals or near equals. • Dissociative - Those that we would not like to be like. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 6

Consumer’s Susceptibility to Interpersonal Influences • Remember, consumers can vary according to their susceptibility to interpersonal influences: • This means that some consumers can be more susceptible to social or interpersonal influences than others and vice versa • Consumer’s Susceptibilty to Interpersonal Influences (CSIN) is defined as the need to identify or enhance one’s image with significant others through the acquisition and use of products and brands, the willingness to conform to the expectations of others regarding purchase decisions, and/or the tendency to learn about products and services by observing others and/or seeking information from others (Bearden, Netemeyer & Teel, 1989) • CSIN is enhanced when individuals are highly concerned with the inferences others make or may make regarding their behaviour © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 8
Tribes • The tribe metaphor is used to depict the current functioning of our society – the way consumers behave collectively and produce social forces • Tribe – an ephemeral and unstable group of consumers who are joined together by sharing emotions, feelings and passions on a relatively small scale. Members are connected to each other through family ties. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons and Cova, 2001; 2006 Source: Cova Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 9
Football Tribes © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 10
Tribes • They differ from reference groups in that they do not focus on the normative influences of the group or of individual group members on each other. Instead tribes concentrate on the bonding or linking element that keeps individuals in the group • They translate a need to belong not just to one, but to several groups simultaneously Source: Cova and Cova, 2001; 2006 © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 11
Tribes Making Up Brand Communities • Group of runners who meet at the Niketown store in Boston on Wednesdays • Saturn car owners who meet for reunions and barbecues • Harley Davidson Owner Groups • Saab Owners © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 12
Family Influences • Family members can act as a reference group • Extended family Two spouses, children including grown up children, grandparents all living together as one family unit • This provides a different environment for interaction and interpersonal influence • Multiple sources of influences based on observation and interaction • Influence of family members on consumption is higher; family members are of greater importance than outsiders © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 13
Family Influences • Nuclear family Comprises two spouses and a small number of children • Intergenerational offspring The effect of family in the socialisation of offspring; this includes impact on individual’s norms, attitudes and values Source: Childers and Rao (1992) © 2009 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. www. wileyeurope. com/college/evans 14

Culture is defined as…. “civilization and the social norms on which civilized societies are based (Bridgewater & Egan, 2004, p. 23) ”, …. “patterns of thought and manners which are widely shared” (Child & Kieser, 1977, p. 2) . . “collective programming of the mind” (Hofstede, 1980, p. 13).
What do we know about culture so far… • Hall (1960) suggests that societies may vary with respect to their conception of: time, space, objects, friendship & family. • International marketers should take into account cultural variations of the basis of: language, religion, ethnicity, education systems, symbols • National cultures can be classified along the dimensions proposed by Hofstede (1994): power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity-femininity, individualismcollectivism, long-term vs. short term orientation
• Consumption is a cultural-bound process and marketers use cultural cues to communicate effectively with consumers and catch their attention
High Degrees of Uncertainty • Promoting a toothpaste in Greece involved the use of the technique “celebrity endorsement”
Power Distance: Mercedes in Asia
Individualism vs. Collectivism L’oreal - USA Amstel - Greece
Individualism …
Collectivism …
Femininity - Masculinity
