Consumer Behavior

Is consumer behavior a function of a person's age or generation? Some marketers maintain that age differences are critical and that the needs and wants of a 25 year old in 2011 are not much different from those of a 25 year old in 1969. Others feel generational effects are critical and marketing programs must suit the times.
