Download or read book Trust distrust Perceived Quality Perceived Price and Apparel Purchase Intention written by Gargi Bhaduri and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As firms are competing in an increasingly complex business environment, they are concentrating on building trusting relations with customers and create a niche in the market. Especially in the apparel industry which is often criticized with negative media publicity, building trust becomes essential for any firms' performance. Literature review suggests that trust/ distrust has the potential to affect consumers' perception about quality, price and even influence purchase intention. This study sought to investigate the relation between trust/distrust on an apparel firm, consumers' perceived quality, perceived price, and purchase intention. The Theory of Reasoned Action provided the theoretical background for this study. For this study, trust (distrust) was considered to have 2 dimensions: credibility (dis-credibility) and benevolence (malevolence). A 2X2 trust/distrust matrix (High Credibility/High Benevolence, Low Credibility/High Benevolence, Low Credibility/High Benevolence, Low Credibility/Low Benevolence) was designed and each participant was exposed to all four profiles in a random order. The study results indicate that trust/distrust affects consumers' purchase intention. Also, perceived quality mediates the relation between trust/distrust and purchase intention. Perceived price, however, did not moderate the relation between trust/distrust and purchase intention and also did not impact consumers' purchase intention. Implications, limitations and scope of further research are also discussed.
Download or read book How Country of Manufacturing and Sweatshop Free Information Affects Online Apparel Consumers Perceived Quality Value and Purchase Intention written by Lingyuan Zhang (Textile researcher) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online consumers are not able to assess the physical product in the prepurchase process. This poses a problem for the consumers, and further affects their purchase behavior. The popularity of sustainability and transparency may provide an opportunity to lessen this kind of uncertainty. The literature review suggests that the country of manufacture and sweatshop free information, as two extrinsic information cues, may has the potential to affect a consumer's perceived quality, perceived value and purchase intention in online shopping context. This study aims to determine how the information regarding country of manufacture and sweatshop free influences consumers' perception of quality, value and patronage intention regarding different price apparel products in the online shopping context. For this study, a 2*2*2 (country of manufacture * sweatshop free * price) experiment was designed and each participant was exposed to one of eight profiles in random order. OLS regression results indicate that country of manufacture don't relate to any of the perceived quality, perceived value and purchase intention. To the contrary, price has a statistical significant effect on all the dependent variables. The sweatshop free label is positively related to the perceived quality and purchase intention, but doesn't affect perceived value. The interaction effect (C*P*S) affects consumers' perceived quality only. Implications, limitations, and scope of further research are also discussed.

The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief reviews exhaustively the representative research on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) from its first appearance thirty years ago until now, also identifying possible directions for future research. TAM is a theory from the Information Systems (IS) discipline for explaining, predicting, and improving user acceptance of information technology (IT). The findings revealed that TAM is a leading scientific paradigm and a credible model for facilitating assessment of diverse technological deployments. TAM’s core variables, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, have been proven to be the principal causal mediators between objective IT design characteristics of technology adoption and use. The introductory chapter “Once upon a TAM” focuses on the challenging search of a user acceptance crystal ball. The chapter “Evolution of TAM” provides thorough insight into the proliferation and consolidation of behavioural intention models, factors that affect behavioural intention as well as TAM moderators. A systematic review of TAM is reported in the chapter “Revolution of TAM”. Besides a meta-review of existing reviews and meta-analysis, a narrative review of the representative studies that underlie research on TAM is presented, offering a clear vision of the TAM universe. The chapter “Where do we go now?” concludes this book In order to equip new TAM researchers to handle their own studies, the book also includes a number of actionable principles and guidance about how to test the validity of TAM when applied to a particular technology. This comprehensive overview of TAM is considered a valuable source of information for readers, researchers and practitioners particularly those new to the field.

Download or read book Trust in Numbers written by Theodore M. Porter and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A foundational work on historical and social studies of quantification What accounts for the prestige of quantitative methods? The usual answer is that quantification is desirable in social investigation as a result of its successes in science. Trust in Numbers questions whether such success in the study of stars, molecules, or cells should be an attractive model for research on human societies, and examines why the natural sciences are highly quantitative in the first place. Theodore Porter argues that a better understanding of the attractions of quantification in business, government, and social research brings a fresh perspective to its role in psychology, physics, and medicine. Quantitative rigor is not inherent in science but arises from political and social pressures, and objectivity derives its impetus from cultural contexts. In a new preface, the author sheds light on the current infatuation with quantitative methods, particularly at the intersection of science and bureaucracy.
