The black box model shows the interaction of stimuli, consumer characteristics,
decision process and consumer responses. It can be distinguished between
interpersonal stimuli (between people) or intrapersonal stimuli (within people). The
black box model is related to the black box theory of behaviorism, where the focus
is not set on the processes inside a consumer, but the relation between the stimuli
and the response of the consumer. The marketing stimuli are planned and
processed by the companies, whereas the environmental stimulus are given by
social factors, based on the economical, political and cultural circumstances of a
society. The buyers black box contains the buyer characteristics and the decision
process, which determines the buyers response.
The black box model considers the buyers response as a result of a conscious,
rational decision process, in which it is assumed that the buyer has recognized the
problem. However, in reality many decisions are not made in awareness of a
determined problem by the consumer.
