DAVRANIŞSAL EKONOMİ YAKLAŞIMLARININ ÜRÜN İLGİLENİM SEVİYESİNE GÖRE İNCELENMESİ

Year 2013, Volume: 6 Issue: 12, 21 - 46, 01.12.2013

Abstract

İnsanların karar verirken her zaman “en iyi”yi aramadıklarını, bazen “iyi”nin de onlar için yeterli olabildiğini, irrasyonel kararlar da verebildiğini belirten “davranışsal ekonomi”, ekonominin temel varsayımı olan “homo ekonomikus”u sorgulamaktadır. Beklenti kuramı ile geniş yankı bulan bu çalışma alanı, belirsizlik ve risk altında karar verme durumlarında bireylerin irrasyonel kararlar verebileceğini ya da başka bir ifade ile beklenen fayda kuramında belirtildiği şekilde karar vermeyebileceğini belirtmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, davranışsal ekonomi alanında gerçekleştirilen araştırmaların pazarlama bakış açısıyla yeniden uygulanması durumunda ortaya çıkan karar verme davranışını gözlemlemektir. Çalışma, davranışsal ekonomi yazınında gerçekleştirilen çalışmalardan yola çıkarak dört ana konuyu; çerçeveleme etkisi, referansa bağlılık, zihinsel muhasebe ve batık maliyet hatasını pazarlama bakış açısıyla yeniden değerlendirmektedir. Davranışsal ekonomi konularında ürün ilgilenim seviyesine göre sonuçların farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını görebilmek amacıyla, yaklaşımlarda yüksek ilgi duyulan ve düşük ilgi duyulan ürünler kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada varsayımsal seçim soruları içeren anketler kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle tüketicilere uygulanmıştır. Böylece davranışsal ekonomi yaklaşımlarının tüketici davranışı açısından neler ifade edebileceğinin yanı sıra, bu davranışın ürün ilgilenim düzeyine göre değişip değişmediği irdelenmiştir. Çalışmada sonuç olarak söz konusu dört ana konu ile ilgili bulguların ürün ilgilenim seviyesine göre farklılaştığı görülmüştür

AN EXAMINATION OF BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS APPROACHES IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRODUCT INVOLVEMENT LEVEL

Year 2013, Volume: 6 Issue: 12, 21 - 46, 01.12.2013

Abstract

Behavioral economics, which indicates that human beings do not always search for “the best” and that sometimes “good” will be enough for them, interrogates the fundamental assumption of economics, the “homo economicus”. Prospect theory, which caused a breakthrough in the behavioral economics field, states that human beings can make irrational decisions under risk and uncertainty or in other words, they may not always make the decisions specified in the expected utility theory. This study aims to observe consumer decision making behavior that results through the reinterpretation of previous studies from the marketing perspective. In this study, four topics of behavioral economics that come into the prominence; framing effect, reference dependence, mental accounting and sunk cost fallacy are evaluated. To evaluate whether the results differ according to product involvement levels, both high involvement and low involvement products are used in the study. Questionnaires which contain hypothetical choice questions are applied to consumers via convenience sampling method. Thus, besides the contributions of these behavioral economics topics to consumer behavior literature, whether this behavior will change according to product involvement levels will also be scrutinized. As a result, it has been found that findings related to aforementioned four topics differ according to the product involvement levels
