This paper explains that the conventional consumer decision process is seen as a series of rational steps, which are need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision and then post purchase behavior.

From the Paper:
"Need recognition is the first step in the consumer decision process. In this process a consumer recognizes a need or problem. This need can be triggered by various factors such as an internal stimulus where one of the person's normal needs is hunger becomes high enough to become a drive. A need can also be triggered by external stimuli such as an advertisement or a discussion with people might get you start thinking about buying something. This is the stage where marketers have to conduct market research to find out consumer needs problems, what caused them and how they can be solved."Sample of Sources Used:
