Abstract

This paper examines the effects of eight types of consumer decision-making styles and shopping behaviour on future shopping intentions at factory outlet malls. Results indicate that six out of eight decision-making styles are positively related to future shopping intentions. Conclusions drawn from the current study’s findings and their implications for consumer decision-making and shopping behaviour are discussed.
