Book What determines green purchase behavior

Download or read book What determines green purchase behavior written by Zhongju Liao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green purchase behavior refers to consumers purchasing green products that are environmentally friendly, using fewer resources, and causing lower environmental impact and risk. As a growing number of people start to recognize the importance of individual responsibility for environmental protection, firms are increasingly motivated to develop green products to fit the needs of this green advocation. Despite an emerging number of consumers claiming their preference towards green brands compared to traditional alternatives, researchers have found that there is a huge gap between consumers’ purchase intention and actual behavior, which has gained much attention. The psychological process of green purchase behavior may be a complicated process influenced by various factors, such as consumer values and norms, the pros and cons marketed for green products, and various other situational factors. Scholars are calling for research that explores the psychological decision-making process of green purchase behavior from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Due to the high pricing of green products, the trade-off between the price and function of green products may lower consumers’ satisfaction. Thus, there is always a gap between green purchase intention and actual purchase behavior. What determines consumers’ actual green purchase behavior? Under what conditions, will the consumers pay a premium price for green products? What prompts consumers to choose green brands over traditional alternatives? Will green consumption be a passing trend or a long-term consumption habit? What influences the frequency of consumers’ green purchasing? Scholars are welcome to share their opinions and findings about green purchase behavior to help explore this research topic. We are extremely interested in the determinants of green purchase behavior and the mechanism of facilitating green consumption considering different perspectives.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of information technology, online shopping has gradually become a popular way of shopping because of its convenience. Especially in recent years, the rise of cross border online shopping in China has been welcomed by Chinese consumers, and more and more consumers purchase foreign products through cross border e-commerce. Customers' purchasing intention is an important factor to evaluate future behavioural competence. Hence, this study investigates customers' online purchasing intention towards foreign products in Qingdao, China. Based on theory of planned behaviour, the researcher uses the quantitative method to propose research hypotheses and examine the influencing factors of customers' purchasing intention, including perceived quality, perceived price, perceived value, subjective norms and perceived behaviour control. In this study, data were collected by questionnaire survey, and 165 questionnaires were selected for data processing, SPSS software was used for data analysis and hypothesis test, reliability analysis, descriptive frequency distribution analysis, descriptive mean test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to understand the dimensions of variables. The results show that perceived quality, perceived price, perceived value, subjective norms and perceived behaviour control have an impact on customers' purchasing intention. Thus, there is a significant positive correlation between these variables and customers' purchasing intention. This study's results are helpful to enrich the academic research on customers' purchasing intention. Furthermore, it provides reference for domestic and abroad e-commerce enterprises. This study provides an additional opportunity for decision makers to develop and design more effective marketing strategies to ensure the enterprises' performance. Meanwhile, it helps to promote better and sustainable development of Chin's cross border e-commerce industry.

Book Framing  Made in China  Products

Download or read book Framing Made in China Products written by Ji Pan and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses three related questions to explicate the relationships between media images of made-in-China products and consumer behavior. First, we examine the central themes and symbolic devices that journalists in mainstream U.S. media repeatedly employ to frame issues related to China. Then, we investigate whether, or to what extent, such generic "China-related issue frame packages" are applied to present the many quality crises of made-in-China products in U.S. newspapers. Last, but most relevant to marketers both in the U.S. and in China, we probe via a controlled experiment how much such media presentation affects consumer attitude towards made-in-China products, their intention to purchase, and their causal attribution for the quality issues.

Book The Influence Mechanism of Internet Word of Mouth on Consumer Behavior  A Contrastive Study between Japan and China on Tablet Marketing

Download or read book The Influence Mechanism of Internet Word of Mouth on Consumer Behavior A Contrastive Study between Japan and China on Tablet Marketing written by ZHANG Haibin and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will address the gaps of current studies: (1) Existing study conclusions around eWOM and consumer behaviors are not perfect. At present, many studies emphasize the positive effect of eWOM on consumer behaviors, but there are still many different views around the influencing mechanism; there is, in particular, a lack of study on the influencing mechanisms in different cultures; partly the result of different product types and customer groups. This study uses personal consumer electronics as its subject: specifically, the tablet computer. In this way, the study will enable comparability in the assessment of eWOM in different countries and the potential differences in the customers in the two countries. In addition, this study also discusses the overall trend of WOM communication among customers and compares its impact on both countries. (2) Insufficient research on the impact of Internet multi-media WOM marketing. This study believes that the content of online reviews is not the only standard that influences customers' choices. The manner and methods of information delivery and presentation also shape customers’ opinions. This study explores the means of giving an opinion about a personal electronic product and their diversity and influence on different customers in a diversified information context. (3) Insufficient research on consumer trust. Albeit key to successful marketing, consumer trust has not been sufficiently studied for its role in online marketing. Consumer trust consists of different dimensions. Some recognition at various sub-levels of a product helps establish a consumer’s trust in the product’s online reputation. This study analyzes the relationship between eWOM marketing and consumer trust at each sub-level. It further explores the two dimensions of trust, namely, competence-based trust and integrity-based trust, and their effects on purchase intention and WOM communication.
