Abstract: Abstract In the general theory of choice behaviour generally, a common modelling approach postulates that individuals follow a two-stage decision process leading to the choice of one alternative over all other alternatives that could be picked at the time of decision. The universe of alternatives is reduced in the first stage to a smaller set called the choice set or consideration set whose construction hinges upon one’s knowledge and awareness of choice alternatives, the feasibility and accessibility of alternatives as well as their perceived saliency at decision time (Shocker et al. 1991). In the second stage, only the choice set alternatives are analyzed and a final selection is operated.1
