Assessment 2

• Write an analysis of the purchasing process conducted by a specific enterprise.

Just as consumers have a process by which they purchase products, every enterprise has a process by which it purchases products

• Questions to Consider 

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

• Many enterprises work to assist consumers through the pre-purchase phase, including the need recognition, the search, and the pre-purchase evaluation process. Toyota is an example of one such enterprise. Find the Toyota Web site by doing an Internet search. Once you access the site, evaluate the different ways that the company tries to assist the consumer in each step of the pre-purchase phase. How is the Toyota site innovative in its attempt to provide assistance during the pre-purchase processes?• In many cases, current marketing works by trying to get a customer to change his or her desired state in the need recognition step of the consumer decision process model. This means that the company tries to influence customers to want to purchase its product instead of a different product. Find an example of a current advertisement that is trying to convince customers that they need a particular product. Examples can come from television, magazines, radio, direct mail, or the Internet. o What is the desired state the advertisement is trying to encourage in customers?o How is the advertisement trying to change customers’ need recognition?o Do you think this ad is effective? Why or why not?• Reflect on a time when you were lured into a store or into consideration of purchasing a product by seeing a high-end price item. How did the high-end price on one item affect your own thoughts on a purchase?
