Abstract

What impact does culture have on consumer behavior?

The discussion of the above question in the multicultural context (Mischkultur) of Indonesia is
characterized by the fact that it goes far beyond the limits of the respective scientific fields like
Southeast Asian studies or business studies. It provides a new analytical diagram for structural
analysis of cultural influences on consumer behavior which offers the possibility to develop new
markets in an intercultural manner.

Investigation of cultural factors influencing Indonesian consumers has indicated that the often
postulated globally homogenous thinking and universally acting consumer is merely a myth. This
investigation concludes with a case-study dealing with a shampoo developed by a multinational for the
niche segment, Indonesian veiled Muslim women.


Key Words: Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Culture, Marketing, International Marketing, Intercultural
Marketing, Global Marketing, Consumer Behavior, Globalization, Glocalization, Hofstede, Unilever.

Titel

Die Dechiffrierung des Mythos eines globalen Konsumenten
Indonesisches Konsumverhalten erforscht mit Hilfe eines analytischen
Diagramms des interkulturellen Marketings
Mit einer Fallstudie des Sunsilk Shampoos für die verschleierte Muslimin


Ragnar K. Willer


Übersicht

Welche Bedeutung hat Kultur für das Konsumverhalten?

Die hier vorgelegte Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Frage im Kontext der Mischkultur Indonesiens
zeichnet sich aus, dass sie über die Binnenräume der jeweiligen Wissenschaftsfächer, wie der
Südostasienkunde und der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, weit hinausragt und für die Beantwortung der
Fragestellung ein neu entwickeltes analytisches Diagramm zur strukturierten Analyse kultureller
Einflüsse auf das Konsumverhalten aufweist, das die Möglichkeit, Märkte interkulturell zu
erschließen, eröffnet.

Die Untersuchung der den indonesischen Konsumenten beeinflussenden Kulturelemente ist ein
Indizienbeweis gegen die so häufig postulierte Vorstellung eines global, homogen denkenden und
universalistisch handelnden Konsumenten, die mit der Fallstudie eines für das Nischensegment der
verschleierten Musliminnen in Indonesien geschaffenen Shampoos eines Weltkonzerns abschließt.



Schlagworte: Südostasien, Indonesien, Kultur, Marketing, Internationales Marketing, Interkulturelles
Marketing, Globales Marketing, Konsumverhalten, Globalisierung, Glokalisierung, Hofstede,
