The BuyGrid framework, as it is popularly known, was introduced by Robinson, Faris and Wind in 1967. The
BuyGrid framework comprises a matrix of buyphases and buyclasses. Certain buyphases exert
disproportionately forces over certain buyclasses and are hence very important for those buyclasses. The
buyphases are:
New Tasks: These are the first-time buyers who evaluate all alternatives. Buying phases 1,2 and 3 are
the most critical for this buyclass.
Modified Rebuy: These are buyers who want to replace the product that they use with a better one.
Buyphases 3 and 4 are the most critical for this buyclass.
Straight Rebuy: The buyer in this case orders the same product that he/she has been using and does
not want any modifications. Buyphases 3,4 and 5 are the most critical.
