TRACK
TOPIC
DESCRIPTION:
This track topic
seeks to further
debate and
discuss the new
forms of
consumption in
the wake of the
new pressures on
the consumption
processes coming
from the
combined effect
of four major
drivers: the
economic crisis,
the
post-pandemic
influences, the
rising attention
to
sustainability,
and,
last-but-not-least,
a growing
diffusion of new
production and
distribution
technologies.
Consumer
Behavior focuses
on the drivers,
and the
motivations
affecting
individuals,
groups and
organizations in
their
decision-making
processes to
choose, buy and
use some product/service
in order to
satisfy their
needs and wants.
This tracks
welcomes
contributions
within general
management
studies and from
marketing
studies, but it
welcomes studies
from scholars
analyzing the
consumption
behavior from
systems
engineering,
system dynamics,
cybernetic, soft
and critical
traditions of
research and
practice.
This track, in
the 2024
Symposium, will
calls for
contributions
with a local,
national or
global focus,
and coming from
a wide range of
disciplines with
both an academic
and a practical
perspective. In
particular, the
track aims to
investigate the
opportunities
and threats that
the great reset
is to the
traditional, and
