Following-Through Opportunities: the Effects of Incidental Versus Inherent Choices
Consumers often plan to pursue desirable opportunities yet fail to follow-through. We identify cases where consumers feel that by failing to follow-through on a selected opportunity, they miss-out not only on that opportunity but also on an outside opportunity unavailable to them. This inflated perception of opportunity-cost increases opportunity follow-through.
