3. The Engel-Kollat-Blackwell (EKB) model.
First developed in 1968.
A key feature of the EKB model is the differences
between high and low involvement as part of the
buying process.
High involvement is present in the high risk
purchase
Low involvement is present in the low risk purchase.
The Engel-Kollat-Blackwell (EKB) model
Consumers are seen as active agents following rules
of behavior, fairly easy to follow and implement
because they require only a limited amount of
information and capability of elaboration
For instance, a consumer, being aware of a certain
need and believing a certain good category satisfies
it, might fix a maximum price he/she can afford and
search for the best good available under such a
constraint.
