This study explores the relationship between different types of malls and consumer decision-making (CDM) styles. It examines how various retail audits, including Thalia, Weltbild, and sports stores, influence consumer behavior. The research indicates that CDM styles remain independent of shopping contexts. Through evaluating factors such as price sensitivity, quality-consciousness, and purchase preferences in potential customers including students in Berlin, the findings provide insights into the preferences and behaviors of modern consumers in both book and sports retail environments.
