Three Scenarios for Applying Chaos Theory in Consumer Research

This paper aims to progress and revitalize the debate concerning chaos theory's potential role in consumer research. The discussion is based on a literature review of chaos driven research in the social and behavioural sciences. Three likely avenues for further investigation are suggested: purely conceptual application; mathematical model driven approaches and descriptive quantitative methods. The latter method is advocated here and some specific analytical techniques are briefly reviewed.
