Abstract
Nudge is a recent research phenomena that explores the idea of implementing low-cost and easy opt-out measures to subtly influence decision making. While it is met with a lot of emerging literature advocating for its effectiveness, only a small proportion of literature has raised doubts over its applications, heavy dependence on context, overall ethical concerns, and its complex connection to negative emotions. This research acts as a broad literature review on nudging in consumer behavior. This study also seeks to summarize the findings of the most recent marketing research on Nudge to provide a more comprehensive overview of effects and the applications of Nudge as a marketing tool. The results of the study suggest why Nudge can be effective and how it can influence consumer decision-making, while also highlighting the research gap in the overall concerns as well as connection between Nudge and negative sentiments.Description
