Abstract

The main purpose of this research study is to explore perceived risk influence on brand made in Ghana consumer decision making towards non-perishable products category. The study is particularly positioned to advance knowledge in the theories of buyer behaviour pertaining to the purchase consumer decision model (EKB model – Engel, Kollet, Blackwell).

A self-completed 5 point Likert structured questionnaire survey was the data collection instrument used. The data collected were computed and analysed by linear regression to determine significant influence of the variables involved in this study. Overall results of the perceived risk variables showed that only performance risk was found significant influence on brand made in Ghana consumer decision making towards non-perishable products category.
