Navigating the Say-Do Gap
How do businesses respond when there's a misalignment between consumers' intentions and actions? Evan Davis explains what the value gap is and hears how businesses try to cross it.
It鈥檚 easy for people to say they want to buy a particular product, perhaps in the name of sustainability. But how often do individuals actually follow through with these well-meaning intentions? Academics regularly observe a difference between what consumers say they want to do and what they actually do.
The gap can cause problems for businesses when they're trying to figure out how to serve their customers. Evan Davis is joined by a panel of business leaders to discuss how they bridge this divide.
