From disrupted routines to supply-chain shocks, this volume explores the consumer behaviors that emerged in response to extreme uncertainty and how those behaviors continue to evolve. Topics include pandemic-induced grocery spending shifts, the importance of consumer trust, lessons from the infant-formula shortage, and the rise of remote work both as a preference and a negotiation point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy pairing real-world behavior with research and reflection, this book highlights how crisis decision-making reveals deeper truths about consumer needs--and the fragility and resilience of the systems built to meet them.
