Abstract:
Population growth and improved global incomes have driven a significant increase in the production and consumption of food. Food consumption is known to have significant impacts on public health, individualities, and the environment and most importantly, food consumption is linked to environmental challenges like heightened pollution, scarcity of water, and CO2 emissions always been faced with grave environmental concerns and a massive surge in food intake assumes great significance. Consumers have a responsibility to protect the environment by choosing environmentally friendly products similar to organic food. This study modifies the TPB to model the consumer behavioural intention for organic food, using environmental concern, perceived value, and consumer familiarity as determinants. In the following, we explain how these well-established concepts are related to the three original constructs of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The results of this study show that environmental concern, consumer perceived value of the product, and consumer familiarity (direct experience) with the product have a positive and significant effect on consumer behavioural intention for sustainable organic foods. In particular, this study finds that consumer environmental concern is the strongest predictor of purchase intention. This suggests that, in a sustainable organic food context, high levels of consumers' environmental concern increased their intention to purchase organic foods. Therefore, if a consumer is more concerned about environmental issues, the consumer will show a stronger intention to purchase sustainable organic food compared to consumers with lower environmental concerns.

Abstract:
This study aims to explore the consumer clothing disposal behavior (CCDB) such as resell, reuse, donate and discard of used clothing in terms of consumer concern for environment (CCE), consumer attitude (CA), information unavailability (IU), consumer motivation (CM) and Apparel disposal subjective norms (ADSN). A cross-sectional survey research design was conducted to evaluate the consumer clothing disposal behavior. The participants included 275 female consumers between the age of 19-55 years, who were purposively selected through non-probability purposive sampling procedure. Indigenously constructed questionnaire at five-point Likert scale were used to collect the data. Correlation and linear regression were used for analysis. Findings revealed that consumers showed positive attitude towards disposing old garments and they have positive approach towards environmental concerns, CM and ADSN play an important role towards disposing garments. This study is important to fast fashion retailers, marketers, environmental campaigners, charitable organizations and public policy makers.

Abstract:
The authors examine potential relationships among categories of personal information, beliefs about direct marketing, situational characteristics, specific privacy concerns, and consumers’ direct marketing shopping habits. Furthermore, the authors offer an assessment of the trade-offs consumers are willing to make when they exchange personal information for shopping benefits. The findings indicate that public policy and self-regulatory efforts to alleviate consumer privacy concerns should provide consumers with more control over the initial gathering and subsequent dissemination of personal information. Such efforts must also consider the type of information sought, because consumer concern and willingness to provide marketers with personal data vary dramatically by information type.

Abstract:
Community and consumer participation is strongly advocated as a way to help shape health systems and health services to become more inclusive, accountable, responsive to community and consumer needs, and to improve health outcomes. Involving consumer representatives on committees is one partnership-style method of bringing a consumer perspective into health system and health services decision-making processes. Many consumer organisations are invited to provide consumer representatives to be members of committees. A study was conducted to identify the concerns of health consumers when they are required to take on the role of being a consumer representative on committees. Focus group interviews were conducted using a series of scenarios and questions as a discussion guide. Forty-eight participants were involved in eight focus group interviews in metropolitan and regional South Australia. General concerns covering seven key areas emerged, as well as more specific concerns relating to particular roles representatives may be required to undertake. This study highlighted particular areas of concern for consumer representatives that can be utilised in developing supports to increase consumers' effectiveness, capacity and confidence to fulfil the representative role. It also highlighted that the capacity building process for consumer participation needs to be a joint partnership between the health sector and consumer organisations, rather than be seen as solely the responsibility of individual consumer representatives.

Abstract:
Although many studies on green marketing were conducted, factors influencing consumers toward their green purchases, for instance, perceived consumer effectiveness, still need to be explored. This study investigates factors such as eco-labels, product attributes, perceived consumer effectiveness, and environmental concern about green product purchases. The study surveyed 200 Indonesian students who purchased and used The Body Shop products. Overall, all the proposed hypotheses are supported. Specifically, eco-labels positively affect both product attributes and perceived consumer effectiveness. While both products attributes and perceived consumer effectiveness positively influence environmental concerns. The last hypothesis related to environmental concerns and green purchases also shows a positive relationship. Lastly, a green marketing strategy is discussed and proposed as the study's implication.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine consumer attitudes toward privacy and the influence of demographic factors on these attitudes. The study also sought to determine the willingness of participants to disclose selected individual information items and determine the awareness and acceptance level of technological innovations such as radio frequency identifiers (RFID) as they relate to privacy. A quantitative instrument was developed and a convenience sample of university students (N=203) was tested. Results showed that educational background played a role in the way participants perceived the applications of RFID.

Abstract:
The goal of this study was to develop a demographic profile of food co-op shoppers and to assess the relationship between policy importance ratings and two measures of shopper involvement. A survey measuring co-op shopper demographic characteristics, ratings of co-op environment and ratings of the importance of 13 co-op policies was completed by 283 food co-op shoppers in the fall of 1983 at the Food Conspiracy Co-op in Tucson Arizona. Overall, the strongest distinction between working members and non-members was a tendency for members to spend more at the food co-op. The two groups were similar demographically and similar in their ratings of the quality of food co-op atmosphere. Both groups rated range of co-op policies as important factors in store selection. These co-op policies were equally important to both members and non-members, and the importance ratings were largely unaffected by length of involvement with the organization.

Abstract:
Le développement explosif du m-commerce est probablement le principal phénomène récent en matière de commerce de détail et de comportement du consommateur. Les grandes marques traditionnelles se battent pour maintenir leurs avantages concurrentiels à travers les technologies du mobile, les firmes émergentes s’efforcent d’entrer sur ce nouveau marché en s’appuyant sur des idées innovantes, et les consommateurs apprécient la commodité et le plaisir apportés par les nombreuses applications des mobiles. Ces dernières années, des « intelliphones » sophistiqués, des utilisateurs plus expérimentés et des stratégies de firmes venant à maturité ont rendu le m-commerce plus intégré et plus complexe. Ce changement nous fournit de nouvelles occasions de repenser la structure des marchés. La thèse explore l’état de l’art en matière de m-commerce et les croyances des consommateurs à travers trois essais qui constituent autant d’articles à envoyer pour publication. Le premier essai est une tentative destinée à explorer ces nouvelles caractéristiques et tendances du m-commerce actuel et analyse comment le comportement du consommateur évolue à travers lui. Il fournit aussi une courte enquête sur les attitudes des consommateurs car en pratique l’acceptation des utilisateurs varient considérablement selon les applications. Une revue des recherches empiriques est proposée qui met en avant certains faits marquants liés à l’adoption du m-commerce. Le deuxième essai vise à explorer les intentions comportementales des consommateurs face à l’usage d’un type d’application particulier, le context-aware service (CAS) ou service contextualisé pris comme représentative du m-commerce actuel. Je propose un modèle d’adoption du CAS et évalue sa validité à partir d’un échantillon de 291 répondants chinois. Le test porte sur deux théories d’adoption des technologies de l’information et compare leur validité dans le contexte du m-commerce actuel. Les résultats montrent que, même si de bonnes capacités prédictives ont été trouvées en gros, les pouvoirs explicatifs de deux variables habituels dans ces modèles sont surprenants. Le troisième essai explore l’impact des questions de vie privée sur les intentions des consommateurs de révéler des informations les concernant. Il établit que le m-commerce actuel a la capacité de second exchange (deuxième échange) qui entraîne les consommateurs à fournir des informations personnelles comme une pré-condition au plaisir d’utiliser les services des mobiles ; en conséquence, les problèmes de vie privée deviennent perturbant aussi bien pour les fournisseurs de services que pour les utilisateurs. Fondé sur la théorie du calcul de vie privée, je construit un modèle théorique complet et le teste empiriquement. Les résultats montrent à l’évidence que les problèmes de vie privée ont un impact négatif sur les intentions des consommateurs, mais il existe un paradoxe encourageant pour les fournisseurs de service et les participants
The explosive development of m-commerce is probably the main phenomenon in recent retailing and consumer behavior. Traditional brand giants are struggling to maintain their competitive advantages through mobile technologies; emerging firms are striving to enter this new business by relying on innovative ideas; and consumers are enjoying the convenience and pleasure brought by numerous mobile applications. In recent years, sophisticated Smartphone, more experienced users, and related firms’ strategies coming to maturity, have made m-commerce more integrated and complex. This shift provides us some new opportunities to rethink market structure. The dissertation explores the state-of-art of mobile commerce and consumer belief on it, by three essays. The first essay is an early attempt to explain those new features and tendencies of current m-commerce, and analyzes how consumer behavior evolves through them. This essay also provides a short investigation of consumers’ attitudes, because in practice the users’ acceptance varies quite dramatically between different applications. As survey basis, an empirical research review is performed, which highlights some interesting facts concerning m-commerce adoption. The second essay aims to explore consumers’ behavioral intentions to use a kind of compelling and interesting mobile application, context-aware service (CAS), which has been taken as a representative of current m-commerce. I propose a CAS adoption model and empirically evaluate the model using 291 respondents in China. Also, the essay tests two traditional IT adoption theories and compares their validities in the present m-commerce area. The results show that, although good predicting capabilities were found in whole, the explanatory powers of two variables from different classic models are rather surprising. The third essay explores the impact of the privacy concerns on consumers’ intention to disclose information. This essay states that today’s m-commerce has the particular prosperity of second exchange, which makes consumers provide personal information as a precondition for enjoying mobile service; consequently, privacy problems become disturbing to both m-services providers and users. Based on privacy calculus theory, I construct a comprehensive theoretical model and test it empirically. The results indicate that privacy concerns indeed have a significant negative impact on consumers’ intentions; but there exists a privacy paradox, which could be encouraging news for mobile servicers and participants

Abstract:
To date much of the literature on consumers’ concerns about business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce has described findings from quantitative research. As a result, much of that literature has focused on specific previously-identified concerns (e.g., privacy of personal information, use of credit cards for on-line payment). Also, there has been little research into the concerns of New Zealand consumers, and all of it has been quantitative. In order to gain a broader understanding, this study took a qualitative approach. Three focus groups were conducted, in order to identify consumers’ concerns. The concerns that were thus identified were combined with those that a review of the literature had previously identified, and were used to draw up a set of guidelines to be used in semi-structured interviews. Fifteen interviews were then conducted, in order to gain consumers’ views about each concern. It seems that at a higher level, consumer’s concerns have shifted. The literature suggests that in the past consumers’ concerns about Internet shopping have focused on the fact that Internet shopping is conducted via the Internet – as a result of which consumers have, for example, been concerned about the privacy of their personal information ('if I give them my e-mail address, will I get spam?') This study suggests that now consumers’ concerns focus on the fact that Internet shopping is a form of shopping – as a result of which they are now only prepared to use the Web sites of 'reputable companies', and they now require to be able to evaluate an item adequately before buying it. And it seems that another result of this is that consumers now expect that the 'reputable companies' whose Web sites they visit will – as a matter of course - address to their satisfaction issues such as the privacy of their personal information. While there are some types of products that consumers are prepared to buy on-line (e.g., air travel), there are many about which they are reluctant. Concerns were expressed about a wide range of potential purchases, and for a variety of reasons; also, some data was inconsistent (for example, some consumers were not prepared to buy clothes on-line, but others were). This appears to be an area in which consumer attitudes are still evolving. It is suggested that it may be helpful for further research on this matter to consider both demographic factors and the degree of consumer involvement in particular types of purchases.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore differences in the perceived consumer problems and concerns between American and Egyptian consumers, as measured by a composite score for perception of problems. The relationships between fourteen independent variables and perceived consumer problems of American and Egyptian consumers also were examined. The independent variables that were studied include: perceived adequacy of income, perceived improvement in living situations, expectations and experiences with products, attitudes toward government, attitudes toward business as consumer protection agencies, attitudes toward consumer education efforts, and demographic variables of gender, age, marital status, presence of children, family annual income, education level, employment status, and university position. Specific objectives of this study were: (1) To determine if there are differences between American and Egyptian consumers in the following areas: perception of consumer problems; concerns related to price, quality, safety, labeling and information, and concerns about the environmental effects of products and their packaging; needs fulfillment related to perceived adequacy of income, needs fulfillment related to perceived improvement in living situations; expectations and experiences with products; attitudes toward consumer protection efforts by government; attitudes toward consumer protection efforts by business; and attitudes toward consumer education efforts. (2) To analyze relationships between perception of consumer problems and concerns and the following: needs fulfillment related to perceived income adequacy; needs fulfillment related to perceived improvement in living situations; expectations and experiences with products; attitudes toward consumer protection efforts by government; attitudes toward consumer protection efforts by business; and attitudes toward consumer education efforts. (3) To investigate the influence of demographic variables of gender, age, marital status, presence of children, family annual income, education level, university position, and employment status on the perception of consumer problems and concerns. Data were obtained through a questionnaire developed by the researcher. The questionnaire was first developed in English, and then translated into Arabic with a back translation check. The reliability of the instrument was tested with a test-retest procedure. A questionnaire, an explanatory cover letter, and a stamped self-addressed envelope, were mailed to 180 randomly selected respondents at Virginia Tech and Radford University. Graduate students assigned at Ain Shams University and Sadat Academy delivered the questionnaires personally to the 180 randomly selected respondents in both universities in Cairo. The completed questionnaires were collected within three weeks after delivery. There were 112 questionnaires returned from Virginia Tech and Radford University, of which 108 were acceptable for analysis (60%). There were 154 questionnaires returned from Egypt, of which 142 were acceptable for analysis (78.8%). Hence, a total of 250 responses were used in the data analysis for an overall return rate of 69.4%. Procedures for statistical analysis involved eight phases including: the reliability analysis, frequency distribution, chi-square, factor analysis, the two-sample independent t-test, stepwise multiple regression, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and discriminant analysis. Results revealed a statistically significant difference in the total score on consumer problems between the two samples. Also, results showed a significant difference in the total score on consumer concerns related to quality, safety, and labeling and information. However, the variables that were found to discriminate the two samples in order of importance were: perception of consumer problems, concerns for quality, concerns for labeling and information, concerns for safety, and concerns for price. The most important concern for all respondents was quality. The majority of the American respondents perceived that they had more adequacy of income and improvement in living situations than the Egyptian respondents. Also, they conveyed a positive attitude toward government regulations and business efforts to protect consumersâ interests as opposed to the Egyptian respondents who conveyed a negative attitude toward the same aspects.

Abstract:

The current information society is collecting information about individual needs, wants and desires continuously with the help of new technologies. Information systems, such as consumer relationship management (CRM) have a crucial importance when providing personalized services to the customers. This is done by gathering, storing, maintaining and distributing important consumer knowledge throughout the organization. (Chen & Popovich, 2003) However as previous studies have shown, consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about threats to their personal privacy when new technologies are integrated into the society (e.g. Cranor et al, 1999; Kervenoael et al, 2007). As these emerging issues are becoming more common in the consumers’ daily lives, it is of great importance to discover their perceptions about it. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine the consumers’ perception about their privacy and how they affiliate with their personal information being processed in various organizations.

The theoretical framework suggests that several factors affects the consumers comfort in sharing personal information to companies, such as the physical environment of the organization, which type of information that is shared, what organization that stores and uses the information, the psychological distance the actors have to each other and how much control the consumers have over the use of their personal information. A selfadministered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results showed that the majority of the respondents were concerned about the information that is gathered about them, which further emphasises the importance of this study. It was evident that the respondents were more willing to provide demographic and lifestyle information, rather than financial and purchase related information. The results also showed a variation depending on which organization that is considered. The various organizations were categorized into four different groups; Intimate distance, personal distance, social distance and public distance, depending on the respondents’ perceived comfort in sharing their personal information with them.

Some significant differences were observed between the various demographic groups as well. One of the findings indicates that men appear to be more comfortable in sharing their personal information to certain companies in comparison to women, due to a higher intellectual risk-propensity. It is argued that the consumers concern for privacy is an important issue to consider for companies. In order to maintain a strong relationship with their customers it should be integrated as an essential part of their CRM-strategies to make their information gathering techniques more efficient.

Abstract:
AbstractConsumer food ethics has re-emerged over the past 30 years as a popular form of activism to address concerns with the dominance of corporate interests in the global food system. Proponents of consumer ethics contend that informing consumers about injustices in the food system via labels or awareness campaigns will lead to collective rejection of unethical food corporations and the embrace of ethical products. This approach has been criticized on a variety of grounds, including its reliance on and eventual co-optation by market mechanisms. In response to these criticisms, food activists and scholars have promoted a consumer ethic that embraces local and alternative food systems, thereby producing an alternative consumer ethic purportedly outside of market logics. While these alternative practices have much to commend them, we argue that alternative food systems are invariably oriented towards consumer interests and thereby run into similar problems faced by earlier iterations of consumer-based ethics. We argue against the persistent focus on consumer ethics as means of substantially disrupting food systems, whether global, local or alternative.

Abstract:
AbstractThe category of household and sanitary products is the most important category in the paper industry, because it is related to people’s daily lives all around the world. This category is seeing a rapid increase in consumption, while consumption in other categories, such as printing or writing paper, is presently declining. China is the largest manufacturer, as well as the largest consumer of household and sanitary paper. Nowadays, environmental consciousness and concerns are rising in China and have started to influence customers’ behavior in selecting and using paper products. In the present study, surveys were conducted of the paper industry, the retail market for paper, and end consumers of paper. The relationship between new challenges of the paper industry and consumers’ environmental concerns has been investigated and reported.

Abstract:
There is a close relationship between consumer’s portrait and product’s attributes. Consumer portraits are usually obtained from information provided by consumers or by using data analysis of computer vision technology when they were in store. However, there was few concerns on the product’s attribute which was a critical factor affecting consumer portrait establishment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish IoT based product attributes’ data collection system then to use this system to portrait consumers behaviors. Firstly, we used our own developed smart hardware to collect consumers' attention data on products of fast fashion shoe stores. Then the product attention index was obtained by combining sales data, and the quantitative attributes of the products with the highest attention index were analyzed, including the age, style and price. At last, improved the TOFA model to make it suitable for the conversion analysis of product attributes to consumer portraits. The results showed that there were core hedonic middle-aged consumer groups and potential thrifty youth consumer groups in the store, and the styles of shoes tend to be fashionable and casual. The conclusion was that the new model can effectively analyze the core consumer portraits of shoe stores and provide strategies for shoe store positioning and supply.

A framework and pilot tool for the risk-based prioritization and grouping of nano-enabled consumer products. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), August 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/41721.

Full text
Abstract:
The use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in consumer products has expanded rapidly, revealing both innovative improvements over conventional materials, and the potential for novel risks to human health and the environment. As the number of new nano-enabled products and the volume of toxicity data on ENMs continues to grow, regulatory agencies like the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) – a small, independent federal agency responsible for protecting consumers from unreasonable risks associated with product use – will require the ability to screen and group a diverse array of nano-enabled consumer products based on their potential risks to consumers. Such prioritization would allow efficient allocation of limited resources for subsequent testing and evaluation of high-risk products and materials. To enable this grouping and prioritization for further testing, we developed a framework that establishes a prioritization score by evaluating a nano-enabled product's potential hazard and exposure, as well as additional consideration of regulatory importance. We integrate the framework into a pilot version software tool and, using a hypothetical case study, we demonstrate that the tool can effectively rank nano-enabled consumer products and can be adjusted for use by agencies with different priorities. The proposed decision-analytical framework and pilot-version tool presented here could enable a regulatory agency like the CPSC to triage reported safety concerns more effectively and allocate limited resources more efficiently.

Abstract:
As part of our responsibilities, we work to understand the continuing evolution of the food landscape to identify opportunities to improve standards of food safety and/or authenticity. To do this, we use science and evidence to tackle the challenges of today, to identify and address emerging risks, and to ensure the UK food safety regulation framework is modern, agile and represents consumer interests. One way we build our understanding of consumer interests and concerns is through social media analysis, which permits real time monitoring of key issues relating to food safety and other consumer concerns.

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives: The original objectives of this project were to: 1) evaluate inducible promoters for the expression of recombinase in apple (USDA-ARS); 2) develop alternative selectable markers for use in apple to facilitate the positive selection of gene excision by recombinase (Cornell University); 3) compare the activity of three different recombinase systems (Cre/lox, FLP/FRT, and R/RS)in apple using a rapid transient assay (ARO); and 4) evaluate the use of recombinase systems in apple using the best promoters, selectable markers and recombinase systems identified in 1, 2 and 3 above (Collaboratively). Objective 2 was revised from the development alternative selectable markers, to the development of a marker-free selection system for apple. This change in approach was taken due to the inefficiency of the alternative markers initially evaluated in apple, phosphomannose-isomerase and 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate phosphatase, and the regulatory advantages of a marker-free system. Objective 3 was revised to focus primarily on the FLP/FRT recombinase system, due to the initial success obtained with this recombinase system. Based upon cooperation between researchers (see Achievements below), research to evaluate the use of the FLP recombinase system under light-inducible expression in apple was then conducted at the ARO (Objective 4). Background: Genomic research and genetic engineering have tremendous potential to enhance crop performance, improve food quality and increase farm profits. However, implementing the knowledge of genomics through genetically engineered fruit crops has many hurdles to be overcome before it can become a reality in the orchard. Among the most important hurdles are consumer concerns regarding the safety of transgenics and the impact this may have on marketing. The goal of this project was to develop plant transformation technologies to mitigate these concerns. Major achievements: Our results indicate activity of the FLP\FRTsite-specific recombination system for the first time in apple, and additionally, we show light- inducible activation of the recombinase in trees. Initial selection of apple transformation events is conducted under dark conditions, and tissue cultures are then moved to light conditions to promote marker excision and plant development. As trees are perennial and - cross-fertilization is not practical, the light-induced FLP-mediated recombination approach shown here provides an alternative to previously reported chemically induced recombinase approaches. In addition, a method was developed to transform apple without the use of herbicide or antibiotic resistance marker genes (marker free). Both light and chemically inducible promoters were developed to allow controlled gene expression in fruit crops. Implications: The research supported by this grant has demonstrated the feasibility of "marker excision" and "marker free" transformation technologies in apple. The use of these safer technologies for the genetic enhancement of apple varieties and rootstocks for various traits will serve to mitigate many of the consumer and environmental concerns facing the commercialization of these improved varieties.
