Abstract: | Modern shopping spaces and supermarkets are considered as the key arenas of the empowered and sovereign consumer. Yet, purchasing patterns can be explained as resulting from consumer routines (hereafter as: cons-rts.) and habits. This paper examines cons-rts. as an outcome of governance structures embedded in modern retail marketing techniques. It is concluded that power and discipline are underestimated as explanations to the formation of cons-rts. and shopping behaviour. |
