The Consumer Behavior Erasmus Network (COBEREN) was developed to investigate the links between consumption culture and consumer behavior in 30 European countries. In this book, international contributors report on the results of the COBEREN Project on drinking styles and consumer culture in Europe. After an overview of factors influencing the behavior of European consumers and a review of the literature on consumer culture, some topics discussed include the interaction between national culture and shopping culture, consumption patterns and cultural values in Europe, drinking motives, and research and managerial implications. The book will interest scholars, students, firms, and public organizations. Santos is affiliated with the University of León, Spain.
