Abstract

Modern consumers experience an impressive connectivity in the form of information-sharing and influence about products and brands. This process is almost similar to the spread of a virus within a population; therefore, recently it has been referred to as social contagion (Van den Bulte 2011). Although social contagion is a very active process, it does not mean there are no other alliances among consumers. In my earlier book (Samli 1995), I discussed, Wa, Inhwa, and Quanxis, factors which are still very much in existence alongside the new activity of social contagion.
