The BCOS factors are comprehensive, but I think they encourage paternalistic thinking on the part of the marketers, which may alienate the audience. The audience’s perception of the costs, benefits, others and self-efficacy potential varies according to highly personal factors that often come into play at the market segmentation/product positioning/targeting stages (e.g. socialization, culture, and values). Effectively, I believe more concern for cognitive/affective dimensions of how the audience conceptualizes the BCOS factors for greater effectiveness in creating “mutually beneficial want-satisfying products”. I recently read about the Chinese dog meat festival, which has cultural and other ...
