A model for shopping: Four Kinds of Shopping Described by Women in U.S., Japan, and France.
Example of a cross-cultural ZMET Study
© 2007, All Rights Reserved. Experience Engineering, Inc. Any use, copying or distribution without

ZMET also identified several key cross-cultural differences regarding the deep idea of “connection with others.” For example:
– French consumers, more so than Americans or Japanese, expressed a desire for positive personal interactions with shopkeepers during their shopping journeys. They had a strong preference for the pleasant, enjoyable atmosphere in smaller shops, boutiques, and markets relative to large, impersonal department stores and supermarkets
– Many Japanese women expressed their strong need—sometimes to the point of anxiety—to obtain approval for their purchases from members of their families, especially their husbands.
• Perhaps this explains why Japanese women seem to devote a greater amount of time to planning, imagining, learning, and deliberating prior to going to a store and eventually making a purchase
