Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer Management in the Internet Age: How Customers Became Managers in the Modern Workplace analyzes online consumer management, a practice in which customers monitor, report on, and—sometimes unwittingly—discipline workers through writing and posting online reviews. Based on case studies of the websites Yelp and Rate My Professors (RMP), Joshua Sperber analyzes how online reviewing, a popular contemporary hobby, tells us much about the collapse of the barriers separating work and leisure as well as our need for collective purpose and community wherever we can find it. This book explores the economic implications of online reviews, as reviews provide both valuable free content for websites and surveillance of, respectively, restaurant servers and college instructors.

Download or read book Shopping 3 0 written by Cor Molenaar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retailers are in difficult times. The recession, global competition, government regulation and the growth of the Internet mean that costs are rising but margins are increasingly squeezed. Cor Molenaar's Shopping 3.0 offers an engaging, convincing and well-researched manifesto for the future of retailing; a manifesto which encourages retailers to switch their approach from a strategy that is based around transactions to one that is based around customers. Logic dictates that there is no one single strategy that will work for all retailers; some of them may indeed benefit from investing in e-retailing solutions and the Internet but for others, success will lie in developing a service based on customer experience or one with some apparently bespoke elements; a strategy to appeal to customers as individuals. Shopping 3.0 examines all these changes. It sketches the world of consumers; those who make their purchases from the comfort of their armchair and those who enjoy shopping with friends. Cor Molenaar explores the impact of changing consumer attitudes to shopping; the role of new technology in future retailing and the changing face of both city centre and out of town shops and malls. Shopping 3.0 offers a welcome helping hand for retailers, both physical and web-based shopkeepers; something to help you make sense of the ongoing revolution in shopping and to plan or adjust your business strategy to enable you not just to survive but to thrive in a world that will look very different in a few years time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Multimedia, Internet, New Technologies, grade: A, University of Leeds, language: English, abstract: This study focuses on consumer behaviour in relation to internet marketing. There is a relationship between consumer participating on online marketing and their behavioural perspective. For instance, the behavioural perspective of consumers towards e-shopping varies depending on several factors. First, it is based on the media system dependent theory which explains dependency relationships between individuals and the medium of communication. It is also based on the perceived usefulness of e-shopping in meeting and understanding ones society or self, orientation meaning actions or interactions of consumers and finally it depends on play that deals with e-shopping and interactive goals. For example, using an email survey that focused on166 respondents that were randomly picked from the staff, faculty, and student population in a mid-western university in US studied, the influence of consumer behaviour on online business, chatting with friends, and news reading was empirically tested. Averagely consumers surveyed had purchased eight various products online in the last seven months, spent twenty minutes in daily reading news online, and ten minutes were spent on net chatting with clients. The consumers also portray positive attributes towards e-shopping and overall e-commerce. This report thus seeks to analytical research on how consumer behaviour can be used on internet marketing.

Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 2,7, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: “A profound shift in the economy is underway - the industrial age economy is rapidly giving way to the Internet age economy.“1 Four years after the New Economy crash the Internet Economy is booming and hopes that mobile offers will further increase the speed.2 With the number of online sales for goods and services increasing every day3, online shopping - with sales growth rates outpacing traditional retailing purchases - has become one of the fastest growing forms of shopping4. The statement above explains the reason why the term Electronic Commerce has kept both business research and business practice as occupied as barely any other term, in the last years.5 Warren D. Raisch writes about this shift in the economy that “the global development and acceptance of the Internet as the new standard for communication and commerce provides us with a powerful new global Internet-based E-Business network (...).“6 Realizing that we live in a global marketplace with international trade7 additionally pushed by the Internet, companies face a stronger competition and the need to create more value for customers than their competitors. In this context, it is important for companies to realize that, through the Internet, there is a power shift to the customer. Furthermore, as customers will demand and tolerate only delightening buying experiences, it is a necessity to capture and analyze information about buying behavior in the 21st century business.8 When talking about E-Commerce, which is a part of Electronic Business (E-Business), describing the sale of goods and services via the Internet targeting a mass market9, the following two areas have to be differentiated: Business-to-Cus- tomer (B2C) E-Commerce, meaning the settlement of buying contracts between a commercial seller and an end-consumer via electronic media, and Business-to-Business (B2B) E-Commerce, describing the same action but between two commercial business partners. 10 11 In this paper, the focus lies on B2C E-Commerce as this is the most interesting area regarding marketing.12 13 Therefore, to better understand the online purchase behavior of private consumers, in the frame of the following analysis the influencing factors of shopping over the Internet are examined. Since determining the factors influencing online shopping behavior also discovers those factors hindering the usage of the Internet as a shopping platform, suggestions to improve and adjust online offers appropriately can be made.14

Download or read book Online Impulse Buying and Cognitive Dissonance written by Giovanni Mattia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers’ beliefs and attitudes towards online sales significantly influence buying behavior on the internet. However, the impact of these thoughts and beliefs on the decision to make an online purchase is not direct. It can be moderated by the emotions experienced while browsing an e-commerce website. Impulse buying in particular is influenced by a number of factors, for example how stimulating the e-shopping platform is, and how easy it is to click on the cart a certain product, for instance a smartphone. But what happens after an online impulse buy is made? Often the customer can regret the purchase and in the throes of anxiety, look for reasons to justify the choices made. Consumer behaviour scholars and pyschologists call this phenomenon cognitive dissonance, and certain individuals are more sensitive than others in developing this than others. This book offers a deep investigation around online impulse buying and subsequent cognitive dissonance. Specifically, the authors present a research case study of a group of millenials who are shopping for smartphones to study whether an initial positive state can reduce the onset of cognitive dissonance in consumers. Based on substantial research and a sample of 212 impulsive millennial buyers, the book provides a comprehensive, but simple and synthetic framework of impulse buying, cognitive dissonance and positive affect state, highlighting their relationships.
