“…Apart from this, the value consumers place on a product depends on the nature of the product (tangibles and intangibles), place, time of the purchase (situation), and other social environmental factors. Consumers make purchasing decisions valuing more of the intangible properties than tangible ones (Foret and Procházka, 2007;Lefkoff-Hagius and Mason, 1990); while other researches indicate that tangible properties of the product are more important (Nelson, 1970;Zeithaml, 1981;Bhatnagar, Misra and Rao, 2000). Kuwait traditional malls may be providing as much as utility as modern malls in terms of meeting the functional and social needs while preserving local culture.…”

Traditional malls are as popular as the modern malls in Kuwait. In this study, the authors examine the shopping orientation and patronage of mall shoppers in Kuwait. A sample of about 2,500 consumers was surveyed and the survey was focused on the factors that influence shopping behaviour. The result of the study shows that females and younger respondents tend to favor modern shopping malls over traditional malls. Mall preference was based on the availability of different shops followed by nice environment. Advertising was found to be the major influence in selecting products and services, while the importance of family, peers, and friends came second followed by price. In Kuwait, most people shop for quality and value rather than price.

consumer's preferences and wealth (income, resources) are viewed as exogenous quantities in the neoclassical theory. They are not explained in the framework of the model, but they are viewed as the given ones. Methodological individualism, rational behaviour, equilibrium and perfect information of consumer are the further features of this concept. Simple precautions are the necessary condition for model application.Methodological individualism means that the principles of the individual subjects behaviour are the most important determining factors of the model functioning. These subjects act according to maximizing of the total utility in the given conditions. The concept of equilibrium is static. The perfect information precondition need not to be necessary fulfilled because the contemporary concepts of the consumer's behaviour function in the conditions of risk and uncertainty.institutional concepts of consumption are derived from the T. Veblen's theory of the leisure class consumption. The preferences are influenced by the position of the consumer subject in the social hierarchy and by activity of firms. According to J. galbraith, firms can create partially the desires of the consumers. not only the preference, resources and the individual behaviour, but also social institutions are important factors of consumption in the institutionalism concepts. consumption is viewed also as a social behaviour. Psychological aspects of the consumer subjects' behaviour are also important. in the modern concept of consumption, there must be viewed all aspects of it.consumer behaviour is based on the decisionmaking of individuals spending their own resources (i.e. time, money and efforts) in order to obtain the items associated with consumption. This form of behaviour involves the reasons why, when, where, how often and what people buy, how often they use the purchased items, how they evaluate them after the purchase and in which way these factors influence their future purchases (Stávková et al. 2007).

The main aim of the article is to understand the influence of factors biasing purchase decisions connected with measurement of consumers’ involvement. Consumption expenditures are purposefully subdivided according to the classification made by the Statistical Office of the European Communities. The performed survey showed that the most important factors biasing purchases of all commodity groups are products’ characteristics and the perceived quality. Together with these goes the factor price, nevertheless for example for the commodity group health price did not appear in the scale of the perceived importance at all. Factor necessity of need proved to be significant for decision making about the purchase of all commodities with the exception of alcoholic drinks and tobacco and recreation. Former experience compared to that is not crucial for clothing and footwear and housing equipment and contents. For alcoholic drinks and tobacco, there has notably approved also the factor brand. These analyses enable disclosure of rules of consumer decision making and thereby definition which factors for individual commodities should be targeted by the help of the marketing doyens or where the gradual changes should be achieved.
