Office furniture sector is a sector where design has a
profound effect on competition. Product ranges are continuously renewed by
companies and presented to consumers through fairs and similar organizations. The success of a
product is measured by not only meeting the needs of the user and fulfilling
the usage requirements but the commercial success it provides to the company as
well. Commercial success is measured by the meeting of the product with its
users and the profitability it provides to its company during this meeting. At
this point, it becomes important to know who is making the purchase decision
about the product. While at home furniture sector it may be the product user
who can directly make the purchasing decision, the one who decides to purchase
the product and the product user can be quite different when it comes to office
furniture. From this point of view, if
one put a research on factors affecting the purchasing decisions for home
furniture can focus on the user, in a similar study in office furniture, it
will be important to determine who made the purchase decisions and establish
the study in this focus. With this in mind, in this study, initially the
decision-making groups about purchasing were identified. Following this determination, studies were
conducted to explore the factors affecting the identified groups’ purchasing
decisions for the purposes of giving suggestions and providing information to
consumers, sellers, manufacturers, designers, and researchers who are actively
involved in office furniture.
