| Abstract: | The competition for shelf space in supermarkets continues to gain in intensity as the proliferation of "new" products maintains its momentum. The acceptance/rejection by supermarkets of "new" products is subject to a variety of processes and activities. This paper concentrates on the stage element, evaluation, of the consistuent parts of "product offer". The findings suggest that three "background elements" - decision involvement, experience of buyers and business philosophy - have significant influences on the importance of elements of "product offer". |
