Abstract: | The concept of perceived risk is fundamental to the understanding of consumer choice behaviour, be that the choice between products, brands, stores or non-store alternatives. Previous reviews of perceived risk have given little attention to the issue of risk-reduction. This is especially surprising, given the importance of these strategies within the brand or store choice process. This paper identifies thirty-seven risk-reduction strategies (RRS), based upon a review of over one hundred articles; evidence is presented for eighteen of the most commonly used strategies. |
