Perceptions of Unfair Marketing Practices: Consumerism Implications
By: Gerald Zaltman, Rajendra K. Srivastava and Rohit Deshpandé
Abstract
Previous research in complaint behavior has ignored the perception of unfair marketing practices as an explanatory variable. Perceptions of unfair marketing practices are related to consumer complaint behavior, although differentially related across different ages. Social involvement among elderly consumers was also found to be a relevant variable. Implications of the data are discussed for public policy makers, consumer educators, and vendors.
