Read Douglas Holt’s article (on moodle, Lecture 1): How Consumers Consume that looks at what people do when they consume and how they interact with others. From his study of baseball matches, he develops a typology that shows how consumers use the sport in different ways:

1) consuming as experience;

2) consuming as integration;

3) consuming as classification; and

4) consuming as play. Apply this typology to an activity of your choice (sport, music, hobby or any other form of entertainment) and analyse which of these are most relevant to your own experience.

Then discuss how others may consume the same experience differently.
