Description & Coverage
Description:

Although studies indicate the assumption of one single European market, other research emphasizes European countries have distinct market identities. Meanwhile, as individual countries begin to have a more widespread understanding of culture, global culture still remains unshared between countries.

Consumption Culture in Europe: Insight into the Beverage Industry brings the most relevant theories about culture and European market segmentation as well as providing updated data for the evaluation and analyses of the European consumption patterns in the beverage market. This comprehensive collection is an essential tool for policy-makers and those interested in end-markets and consumer affairs.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Beverage Consumption
  • Business Technologies
  • Consumer Behavior
  • Consumer Management
  • European Consumer Culture
  • International Marketing
Reviews & Statements

The Consumer Behavior Erasmus Network (COBEREN) was developed to investigate the links between consumption culture and consumer behavior in 30 European countries. In this book, international contributors report on the results of the COBEREN Project on drinking styles and consumer culture in Europe. After an overview of factors influencing the behavior of European consumers and a review of the literature on consumer culture, some topics discussed include the interaction between national culture and shopping culture, consumption patterns and cultural values in Europe, drinking motives, and research and managerial implications. The book will interest scholars, students, firms, and public organizations. Santos is affiliated with the University of León, Spain.
