Cultural Behaviour Determinants of the Global Consumer
Cultural Behaviour Determinants of the Global Consumer

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyse the cultural behaviour determinants of the global consumer. Transnational corporations make use of their knowledge of cultural issues in their activity adapting their products or communication to specific nationalities. Such knowledge seems to be underestimated in Poland. Apart from that, matters of standardisation are brought up in this article as well as the impact of culture(s) on consumer behaviour. Practical implications are also discussed. The research thesis is that consciousness and making use of consumers’ cultural determinants is the key factor of success in the global market.Literature study and deductive reasoning are used to prove the thesis. It is shown that well-known brands or products are made with reference to the problem of cultural differences and this move makes them so successful. Practical implications allow achieving such success with the proper market segmentation, positioning and marketing. Social implications underline the meaning of cultural differences ina society. This research article is of cognitive nature.
