Individuals’ home choice behaviors are examined at different stages of the choice process by an alternative method measuring the dynamics of the choice process. This new method incorporates information about the decision maker's decision plan in arriving at predictions of subsequent choice behavior.

Three major factors are proposed as affecting a choice prediction method's (model's) immediate use by practitioners. These factors are predictive capability, input required, and interpretation task complexity. A decision plan net is developed as an alternative method to existing individual choice prediction methods and is examined against these three major factors in a home purchase situation. Inferences are drawn concerning specific marketing applications of a decision plan net.

Drawing on consumer choice process and implementation theory, this study investigates how product (un)availability influences consumers shopping mind-set and the likelihood of purchasing a second unrelated product. Two studies were applied using a single factor experimental design with two conditions (product: availability vs. unavailability) on consumer’ purchase intention. The results demonstrate when the product is out-of-stock (i.e., unavailable) the propensity to purchase a second unrelated product is higher, compared to when the first product is available for purchase. This study contributes to the literature of the constructive choice process showing that product unavailability does not reduce the shopping implementation. Once a choice is made but not performed, consumers will try to implement their purchase intention in subsequent options. From a managerial perspective, this study provides possibilities for managers to redirect the shopping implementation to alternative options.

The growth of market size is crucially important to firms, although researchers often assume that market size is constant in assortment and pricing management. I develop a model that incorporates the market expansion effects into discrete consumer choice models and investigate various operations problems. Market size, measured by the number of people who are interested in the products from the same category, is largely influenced by firms’ operations strategy, and it also affects assortment planning and pricing decisions. Failure to account for market expansion effects may lead to substantial losses in demand estimation and operations management. Based on real data, this paper uses an alternating-optimization expectation-maximization method that separates the estimation of consumer choice behavior and market expansion effects to calibrate the new model. The end-to-end solution approach on modeling, operations, and estimation is readily applicable in real business.
