2. Nicosia, F.M., Consumer Decision Processes: Marketing and Advertising Implications, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, Prentice-Hall, 1966. The Nicosia model stands apart in focusing on four quite specific “fields” of activity and in then seeking to link them. Other models tend to retain the “flow” of activities and do not segment their analysis in this way.
