Abstract

The effect of cultural value changes on consumer buying behavior was examined in China. It is found that with the economic reform and development in the past three decades, changes in Chinese cultural values have impacted Chinese consumer buying behaviors. In fact, the deviation in Chinese cultural values has been sufficient to be treated as a subculture characteristic. Consumers in these subcultural groups (i.e., modernists vs. traditionalists) exhibit very different buying behavior in terms of complaint lodgment, brand/family loyalty, and new product purchase. © 2011 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
