Reviews / Votes
"Online Consumer Behavior: Theory and Research in Social Media, Advertising, and E-tail is an important book brimming with compelling insights into consumers' use of social media, virtual worlds, online games, online shopping, and more. These studies address a great blend of consumer issues like consumer activism, identity performance, and privacy issues, as well as marketing management implications related to political campaigning, online advertising, and uses of social media. If anything can be said to be state-of-the-art in the ever-changing world of the Internet, this is it." - Russell Belk, Schulich School of Business, York University"It's impossible to think about consumers nowadays without considering online behavior. But when, how, and why things like social media and electronic commerce impact what people do is less understood. This book shines an important light on these new and emerging areas." - Jonah Berger, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
"Today, consumers purchase products and services in brick and mortar stores, through online Web sites as well as other venues. They share information readily and instantaneously via multiple social media outlets. Consequently, in many respects, researchers have had to rethink how to study consumers' behavior. Indeed, one of the effects of the World Wide Web is to make available to consumers throughout the world products and services any time of the day and night. It is important that we have this volume not only to raise critical research questions but also to begin suggesting solutions and to gain understanding of this phenomenon. This timely book of essays is an essential reference for helping us understand the implications of online consumer behavior." - From the Foreword by Kent B. Monroe, J.M. Jones Distinguished Professor of Marketing Emeritus, University of Illinois

Angeline G. Close, Ph.D.
The University of Texas at Austin
Professor Close?researches, teaches, and serves in the marketing community. A main interest is in event marketing-namely how consumers' experiences at sponsored events influence attitudes and consumer behavior.? This?research explains: engaging consumers with events, uncovering drivers of effective event sponsorships, how entertainment impacts affect towards events/purchase intention towards sponsors, the role of sponsor-event congruity, and why consumers may resist events. A scholarly book edited with Lynn Kahle, Ph.D., Consumer Behavior Knowledge for Effective Sports and Event Marketing (Routledge, 2011) synthesizes thinking in the area of sports and events.
Synergistically,?Professor Close?researches consumer experiences with electronic marketplaces-online experiences, and how they interplay with on-ground events.?One of the goals of this current volume is to bring forward new thought in this topic.

These appear in the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Advances in Consumer Research, Journal of Advertising Research, and Journal of Business Research, among others.? This?research has been featured?on CBS, and in The New York Times,?The Los Angeles Times, New Scientist, The St. Petersburg Times, and The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
