Abstract:

Different stakeholders pay more attention to consumer education for remanufacturing. They expect to promote the advancement of the remanufacturing industry by increasing the number of consumers willing to pay for remanufactured products. In the context of consumer education, this paper investigates the influence of different collection and remanufacturing capabilities on the reverse channel designs. The results show that increased consumer education makes the OEM partially forgo the remanufacturing right and more focus on the control of the collection process of reverse channels. We further explore the impact of consumer education on different stakeholders. We find that consumer education significantly improves individual profits and supply chain profit. However, for consumers, the temperate consumer education is all-around desirable, and excessive consumer education will reduce consumer surplus. For the environment, only when the environmental friendliness of RPs is relatively high, improving consumer education will reduce the environmental impact. Furthermore, we also examine the reverse channel designs from multiple criteria and discover that profitability, consumers, and environmental goals can be consistent under certain conditions. Our study provides new insights for the design of reverse channels in the context of consumer education.

Abstract:

Awareness of rights and obligations as a consumer became one of the problems faced by consumers. One way to increase consumer awareness is to provide access to consumer education through media used by consumers. This article aimed to identify and analyze the effect of socio-demographic characteristics and consumer education media toward consumer empowerment on public transportation. This research used a cross-sectional study through an online survey of 100 users of public transportation. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the consumer empowerment index is 44.56 and categorized as capable level. Also, female, early-aged adults (18 - 40 years), high education, employee, income range from IDR 2 000 000 to IDR 3 000 000 per capita per month, and an urban area were the most empowered consumers. In addition, employment status and media of consumer education positively and significantly influenced consumer empowerment.

Abstract:

The significant energy consumed by road transportation and the difficult market penetration of Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) has led to a substantial body of research aiming to understand consumer preferences and future demand for AFVs. The individual characteristics of consumers are one of the explanatory factors of these preferences. In this context, the main purpose of this work is to present a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of how consumer demographics influence their preferences concerning AFVs. This review focuses on papers that applied Choice Modelling techniques to elicit individual consumer preferences for AFVs through stated preference surveys. Age, gender, income, level of education, family size, driving habits and number of vehicles per household were selected for analysis. This study also adds to the literature by analyzing the influence of demographic characteristics on preferences of Portuguese consumers. Very few studies addressed the influence of demographics on preferences for vehicle attributes. Considering the influence of consumers’ income and age, no consistent results were found. However, when age and consumers’ nationality were crossed, a potential trend of consumers’ age influence was unveiled. Regarding gender, level of education and family size, it was observed that consumers with higher education levels, women and consumers with larger families have higher preferences for AFVs.

Abstract:

Sustainable financial education is defined as the continuous input of money and time on financial knowledge education after formal schooling. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of sustainable financial education on consumer life satisfaction. Utilizing the dataset of Household Consumer Finance of Chinese Urban Residents in 2012 by the China Financial Research Center of Tsinghua University, the variable of sustainable financial education is constructed through the variables of the necessity of financial education, the money spent on financial education, and the time spent on financial education. To improve the estimation results, order probit regression is utilized. The results indicate that financial education is significantly positive to consumer life satisfaction only for a consumer with higher education. Consumers who regard financial education to be of high necessity will feel more satisfied. The results also show that consumers who spend more money and time on financial education after formal schooling will be more satisfied. Moreover, the sustainable impacts of financial education on consumer life satisfaction are verified. In addition, this study provides empirical evidence that suggests that sustainable financial education positively contributes to consumer life satisfaction. The results have implications for policymakers to take measures in enhancing sustainable financial education to improve consumer life satisfaction.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the associations between financial education and consumer stock market satisfaction. Consumer financial education is measured through the objective aspect incorporating formal and informal financial knowledge education, and the subjective aspect is reflected through consumers’ attitudes toward financial education. Using data from China’s urban consumers, the results indicate a positive association between financial education and consumer stock market satisfaction. The findings suggest that consumers who were financially literate at high schools or colleges are more satisfied in participating in the stock market. Moreover, consumers who spend more money and time, as well as those who think financial education is more important, feel more satisfied in participating in stock market investment activities. The results imply that it is necessary to increase the supply of formal financial education in high schools and universities, encourage consumers to invest more in the informal education of financial knowledge, and promote policymakers to formulate informative policies to make consumers aware of the importance of financial education.

Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the socioeconomic profile of 338 people who answered questions about knowledge, consumption, determining factors in the acquisition, frequency of consumption, place of purchase, evaluation of general aspects by the consumer and repetition of the purchase of beef packed with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). The generalized linear model methodology, GENMOD, was used with a probit link function to test the interaction of the questions with the socioeconomic profile and for all significant variables. The risk was calculated using the odd ratios (OR) with a confidence interval of 95%. Only age and education influenced consumers' disposition regarding the questions raised in the questionnaire. Most of the people who answered the questionnaire had never consumed any product packaged with MAP, but they are very interested in trying it out. Among consumers who had already consumed some product packaged with MAP, the vast majority consumed beef. Consumers over the age of 50 showed a greater tendency to consume beef with MAP more than once a week. Appearance was the main factor for decision making during the purchase and the supermarket is the main place of purchase of the product. The vast majority of consumers liked and would buy beef packed with MAP again.

Abstract:

For a long time, people have been consuming homemade herbal drinks, which are processed traditionally. However, micro, small, medium, and large-scale businesses are now emerging in the production and marketing of ready-to-consume packaged herbal drinks. Research is needed on whether there are differences in consumer motivation in using homemade and industrial-made herbal beverages in terms of the factors of age, gender, education, occupation, and marital status of consumers, as well as how the simultaneous influence of these five variables on the motivation to consume herbal drinks. This study used a sample of 327 people whose data was collected through a digital questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Mann Whitney, Kruskal Wallis, and multiple linear regression. The results showed differences in consumer decisions based on age, education, occupation, and marital status in the choice of herbal drinks, but not gender differences. Most consumers chose the non-packaged type. Simultaneous testing, age, and occupation factors significantly affected consumer decisions, while gender, education, and marital status were not necessary. The results have implications for the segmentation strategy, targeting, and market positioning of the herbal beverage processing industry and the herbal beverage raw material supply industry, better market understanding, more targeted product development, more effective promotional interventions, increased public awareness of the benefits of herbal drinks, and government policy support for the herbal beverage industry.

Abstract:

Unhealthy eating behaviour has been linked to the risks of many chronic diseases all around the world. Functional foods and its association with health benefits and reducing the risk of diseases open a promising avenue for consumers to pursue a healthier life as well as extending their life expectancy. This provides a great market opportunity for functional foods to be developed. Consequently, it has generated considerable consumer interest in functional food consumption. This study describes the profiles and behaviours of the consumers who are willing to consume functional foods in Malaysia. By using mall intercept surveys, data were collected from consumers shopping at hypermarkets in Malaysia. From the analysis undertaken, it was found that the level of consumer-behavioural intention to consume functional food is encouraging. The results indicated that behavioural intention towards functional food tends to be different across gender, age and marital status. However this study found that the extent of consumer-behavioural intention does not vary by ethnicity, religion, income and education. Future study was also proposed.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the effect of tarbiyyah (a systematic education system) on consumer education and advocacy, concentrating on its role in empowering individuals for effective consumer protection. The purpose of this study is to determine how tarbiyyah influences consumer behaviour and promotes responsible consumption, thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12) on responsible consumption. An in-depth examination of the experiences and viewpoints of three consumer advocates who are included in the research's scope is made possible via qualitative personal interviews. Two primary research objectives have been identified: first, to examine the effect of tarbiyyah on consumer education and awareness; and second, to evaluate its efficacy in empowering individuals to safeguard their rights as consumers. The results emphasise the importance of a structured tarbiyyah education system in influencing consumer behaviour and encouraging responsible consumption. The study highlights the pragmatic ramifications for consumer associations and civic organisations involved in promoting conscientious consumer behaviour, underscoring the significance of incorporating tarbiyyah principles into their instructional curricula. By offering insights into empowering people for effective consumer protection, this research adds to the general knowledge of the function of tarbiyyah in consumer education and advocacy. The study has a limitation in that it is based solely on three consumer advocates, which may not fully represent the broader consumer population. While this sample size is suitable for qualitative research to ground insights, it may not effectively capture quantitative aspects and statistical significance. Nonetheless, the study still offers valuable insights into the potential impact of tarbiyyah on consumer behavior. and its contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 12.

Abstract:

This paper addresses the lack of knowledge about awareness of consumer protection in South Africa, especially amongst disadvantaged consumers. Literature shows that there is a high correlation between the level of economic development and the awareness of consumer rights. The more developed a country is, the more aware its people will be in terms of their consumer rights. The less developed a country is, the lower the level of consumer rights awareness consumers will have. Consumers, like any other citizens of a country, have a right to be protected by the law. Private and nongovernmental organisations and the consumer councils should to ensure that the interests and rights of consumers are well protected. The study involved a literature review and an exploratory empirical study into the effect of income and education on awareness of consumer protection by a sample of Durban consumers. A strong, positive relationship between consumer protection awareness and income and education was found. Recommendations for actions which should improve consumer protection awareness amongst low income, poorly educated consumers, are suggested in, this study, while, further research to develop a deeper understanding of the problem, and are also suggested.

Abstract:

This paper seeks to share some insights on the regulatory aspects of the promotion of financial education and financial inclusion to enhance consumer protection in South Africa. In recent years, policymakers in different countries, including South Africa, have made various efforts to regulate financial inclusion and integrate financial consumers into the financial sector. Similarly, policymakers and other relevant stakeholders have made efforts to promote financial education to empower financial consumers to make sound financial choices and decisions. Notwithstanding these efforts, the promotion of financial education and financial inclusion has been done in isolation, overlooking the policy synergies between these objectives and/or financial sector outcomes in enhancing consumer protection in South Africa. Given the recent COVID-19 pandemic, both financial education and financial inclusion have become increasingly important policy considerations to negotiate the chasm from the challenges that financial consumers faced before the pandemic and move towards safeguarding the economic interests of financial consumers post-pandemic. Accordingly, this paper explores the interrelationship between the effective promotion of financial education and financial inclusion to enhance consumer protection. Moreover, this paper examines the adequacy of the regulation of financial education and financial inclusion under the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 (NCA); the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA), the Financial Sector Regulation Act 9 of 201 7 (FSR Act) and the proposed Conduct of Financial Institutions Bill (CoFI Bill) in relation to strengthening consumer protection. Put differently, this article focuses on the regulatory nexus of the promotion of financial education and financial inclusion to enhance consumer protection in South Africa. In the end, this article will provide some recommendations and enforcement approaches that could be incorporated into the regulatory framework of the promotion of financial education and financial inclusion to enhance consumer protection in South Africa.

Abstract:

The primary goals of this study are to determine the key variables that lead consumers to favour milk products and to assess the degree of consumer knowledge in India. In this study, convenience sampling under the non-probability sampling approach is used to collect data from Indian customers using a structured questionnaire. A multiple-regression model is used to explain consumer choice, and then an analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed to reveal any significant differences between the factors influencing customer preference for dairy products. An analysis of the variables influencing customers' purchasing decisions about milk and its products is conducted. The findings indicated that the main variables affecting the decision to purchase milk products are availability, price, quality, and health consciousness. Age, monthly income, and family size were significantly correlated with the amount of milk consumed. This study aids marketing managers in formulating marketing plans that take into account customer preferences, availability, quality, affordability, and health consciousness. The research conclusion addresses consumer likelihood in addition to being beneficial for the entrepreneurial viewpoint. Even if the study presents Indian consumers' opinions, it restricts the likelihood of the west. Numerous dairy products remain undiscovered due to resource limitations, potentially expanding the area of future study.

Abstract:

Summary Objectives: To evaluate the extent to which the Internet is accessed for health information and perceived as useful to varying groups classified primarily according to age. Method: Synopsis of the articles on education and consumer health informatics selected for the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics 2010. Results: A growing number of individuals are actively seeking health information through a varying selection of resources. The Internet is now seen as a major source of health information alongside with books and other means of paper-based literature. However, it is not clear how the Internet is perceived by varied groups such as those coming from differing age groups. Conclusion: The papers selected attempt to obtain a better understanding about how the public perceives and uses the Internet as an information gathering tool—especially for health information. The papers also explore into how the Internet is used by different groups of people. As all online health information is not of uniform quality, it is important to access and rely on quality medical information. This issue is also dealt with, where the popularity of Wikipedia is measured with the popularity of reliable web sources such as Medline Plus and NHS Direct.

Abstract:

Purpose – Given the economic downturn, the purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between economic perceptions and consumers' motivation to consume for status and if this relationship was moderated by education level. Design/methodology/approach – A stratified random sample of adult consumers in the southeastern USA were surveyed by telephone. The hypotheses were tested utilizing structural equation modeling. Findings – The results indicated that those consumers with a lower level of perceived economic welfare (i.e. see the economy and their family's financial situation as worse this year versus last year) were less motivated to consume for status. Furthermore, this relationship was positively moderated by education. No relationship was found between consumer confidence (i.e. consumers' perceptions of the economy in the future year) and status consumption. The results suggest that those consumers who perceive themselves to be financially better off this year versus last, particularly those more educated, are more motivated to consume for status. Research limitations/implications – The main research limitation was that the sample skewed to be older, female and Caucasian, though the sample did match Census figures for the critical variable of education. Additionally, the phone response rate was 9 percent, but it is important to recognize that this was for a non-student sample. Practical implications – The results suggest that marketers, targeting luxury consumers in the current stagnant economy, aim for more educated consumers who see their economic welfare as improving. This implication stems from the research findings revealing that consumers who feel they are recovering economically from the recent economic downturn, especially those with higher education levels, may more likely be status consumers. Originality/value – With the democratization of luxury there is renewed interest in luxury consumption research. While research suggests there is a relationship between economic conditions and status consumption, few studies have measured consumer economic perceptions in relation to status consumption and none have examined how education may play a moderating role in explaining why people buy luxuries in a tough economic climate.

Abstract:

The focus of this study is how social commerce engages consumers and encourages them to purchase. By proposing the concepts of consumer engagement as different ways to provide a deep and meaningful experience, this study develops a model that explores the antecedents of consumer engagement and its role in explaining a consumer to purchase in social commerce. For this, this study surveys 352 consumers using social commerce in Korea and analyzes the data using AMOS 24. In the results, first, interactivity, sociability, social ties, and social identity among all of the sub-factors of consumer engagement increases consumer engagement. Second, consumer engagement increases their purchase intention. Finally, interactivity and social identity among the antecedents of consumer engagement increase consumers' purchase intention through their consumer engagement. The findings contribute to research on social commerce by paying scholarly attention to meaningful engagement characterized by consumer engagement.

Abstract:

The popularity of organic food has been increasing over the years as people have become more concerned about the health, safety and quality of the food they and their family consumes. This study aims to investigate consumer perceptions towards organic food and why people purchase it. The research was conducted through a survey of a sample of consumers in various age groups and demographics. The results indicate that consumers perceive organic food tobe healthier, safer, and more environmentally friendly than conventionally produced food. Consumers also believe that organic farming methods are more sustainable and ethical. Consumers prefer to purchase organic food from certified organic sources, and they trust government regulation to ensure the authenticity of organic food products. The study suggests that increasing awareness and education about organic food and its production can help bridge the knowledge gap and dispel misconceptions about organic food. Furthermore, improving the availability and affordability of organic food productscan increase consumer access and help grow the market for organic food. The study highlights the importance of effective communication, education, and regulation in building trust and confidence in organic food products.
