iii) It does not recognize that evaluation occurs throughout the decision making
process and not solely at the evaluation stage.
iv) It does not adequately account for the possibility that the five stages may always occur in the specific order suggested. That is, a step may occur before the other or skipped together, for example, there is no trial stage particularly for durable products like, T.Vs, fridges, e.t.c.
