For example, a leader or executive who needs to make changes in his company must
address change issues with his employees in an honest and sensitive manner that will require his
message to be delivered and accepted in the best way possible.
Significant changes such as these require a sensitive and comprehensive message that
proactively acknowledges and addresses the inevitable questions and concerns.
Social influence and persuasion are used in bringing behavioral changes in order to solve
social evils like caste system, patriarchy, climate change, solid waste management etc.

2. Functions: Roles are the responsibilities that a group gives to a member to achieve the
organization's goals. Family decision-making involves a variety of roles that have been
recognized, including those played by influencers, gatekeepers, decision-makers,
purchasers, and consumers.
3. Current status: The position that a person has within a group as their status. A high
social standing entails more power and influence. For example, a person can have the top
position in the organization while being the weakest member of the tennis club.
4. Process of socialization: It is the process through which customers acquire the
information and abilities required to function in the marketplace that is referred to as
consumer socialization.
5. Strength: A group's dominance over an individual is directly linked to the organization's
influence over the person.
A primary reference group is one with which an individual interacts on a regular basis
and whose opinion is of importance to him, family, neighbors, close friends, colleagues and co-
workers are examples of primary reference groups.
Secondary reference groups are those with which an individual interacts only
occasionally and does not consider their opinion very important.
Labor unions, social clubs and societies are other types of formal reference groups to
which individuals may belong. A formal reference group has a highly defined structure, specific
roles and authority positions and specific goals.
In contrast, an informal reference group is loosely defined and may have no specified
roles and goals. Meeting your neighbors over lunch once a month for friendly exchange of news
is an instance of an informal reference group.
