Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: B, The University of Liverpool, language: English, abstract: This paper investigates the influence of e-commerce and related factors on the consumer behaviour with respect to the purchase decisions of mobile phones. The different factors that influence the consumer behaviour related to buying mobile phones have been identified in this research. Electronic commerce or e-Commerce consists of the buying and selling of products and services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically is remarkably increased with the widespread use of the Internet (Blackwell, 2006). To facilitate global trade various schemes for transaction of electronic money have been introduced. Such schemes offer concrete solutions to the risk associated with trust, information security, international finance, and other factors posing uncertainty. Trust is a major focus of e-commerce professionals. In traditional trade much of mechanisms for building trust are related to the form of communication between the participants and costs related to the contact in person. In case of remote access (in terms of the Internet, for example) many of the traditional mechanisms for establishing trust between participants exists. Therefore, options to enhance or introduce other new mechanisms are used for confidence building (Bodenhausen, 2012). There are different forms of e-commerce. The e-commerce models are:
Download or read book Mobile Influence written by Chuck Martin and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosion of mobile access across the globe has shaken the foundations of the traditional sales funnel, and businesses are scrambling to adapt and find new ways to tap into the market. For all their effort, many have failed to realize that the issue is not how to reach the customer where they are, but where they are going and their mindset at the moment. With the staggering growth in the use of mobile technology as both product research and purchase point, businesses have yet to fully understand the important role mobile devices play in the basic structure of the traditional shopping model and the new importance on linking behavior with location. With the death of the traditional sales funnel comes author Chuck Martin's new model, the Mobile Shopping Life Cycle. Based on the author's in-depth research, Martin has identified the six specific moments in the timeline of the sale which marketers must target effectively in order to reach the mobile buyer. From location-based marketing to mobile payment systems, Martin's model gives marketers access to the tools necessary to build a new sales framework that properly addresses the future of the market.

Download or read book Why Customers Would Rather Have a Smartphone than a Car written by Prof Dr Cor Molenaar and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Customers Would Rather Have a Smartphone than a Car explores some of the fundamental changes in consumer behaviour: Why do we buy less in shops and more on the internet? Why do we spend more on gadgets, smartphones and Apps and not more on food, holidays or clothing? Why do most business people only look at symptoms and not causes of changing customer behaviour? The new generation buys differently from the baby boomers; they have different priorities and preferences. The internet has changed us in the way we think, act and communicate. Whilst many retailers now understand the need for change, few of them have established convincing or sustainable models for the future. Cor Molenaar argues that by understanding the drivers behind these new consumer behaviours, retailers can identify the opportunities this represents and adapt their offering accordingly. The kind of relationship retailing he advocates involves the way the retailer interacts with their customer; the new environment that they need to sustain along with their ability to relate customer data, technology and new services.
