In the online environment, the absence of social presence may prevent consumers from purchasing online, while it can enhance their trust, loyalty and enjoyment toward the e-retailer. Thus, today many online retailers try to create social presence by adopting media-rich technologies. In this paper, the authors assess to what degree social media cues are currently adopted by thriving web-vendors and on that basis speculate about future developments. To this purpose, 210 top B2C e-commerce websites have been content analyzed to identify how they differ in the deployment of diverse social media cues. While a wide range of social media cues are adopted by a majority of top e-retailers, a number of more advanced social media features like avatars, recommendation agents, and video-streams are in their infancy where adoption is concerned. The paper demonstrates that the utilization of social media features differs according to the monetary and symbolic value of products sold by the e-commerce vendors.

ABSTRACT Knowledge of the microbiological quality and prevalence of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes in bacterial isolates from leafy green vegetables supplied by formal suppliers (retailers) and informal suppliers (street vendors) in South Africa is limited. Because leafy vegetables have been implicated in foodborne disease outbreaks worldwide, 180 cabbage and spinach samples were collected from three major retailers and nine street vendors in Johannesburg, South Africa. Escherichia coli and coliforms were enumerated using Petrifilm plates. The prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Shigella was determined using real-time PCR analysis. Identities of presumptive E. coli isolates from the fresh produce were confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy. Isolates were characterized using phenotypic (antibiotic resistance) and genotypic (phylogenetic and virulence gene) analysis. Hygiene indicator bacteria levels on spinach from formal and informal retailers exceeded the maximum level specified by the Department of Health guidelines for fresh fruit and vegetables. E. coli counts for street vendor spinach were higher (P < 0.0789) than those for retailer spinach. E. coli was present in only two cabbage samples, at 0.0035 CFU/g. L. monocytogenes and Salmonella were detected in 7.2 and 5% of the 180 samples, respectively, based on real-time PCR analysis; Shigella was not detected. Of the 29 spinach E. coli isolates, 37.9% were multidrug resistant. Virulence genes eae and stx1 were present in 14 and 3% of the spinach E. coli isolates, respectively; the stx2 gene was not detected. Eighty-six percent of these isolates belonged to phylogroup A, 3% belonged to group C, 7% belonged to group E, and 3% belonged to clade 1. The results from the current exploratory study on the microbiological quality of spinach bought from selected retailers highlight the need for continued surveillance on a larger scale, especially in the informal sector, to characterize the potential health risks to the consumer.

Exchanges in electronic market accomplishes through electronic channels. An electronic market is a meeting point for both the shoppers and the sellers. This article aims for the impact of cultural and security orientation on the customer perception of the seller's ethics regarding the customers' loyalty. A heuristic method is applied to examine dimensions of customer perception of seller ethics. The research community is selected out of a large group of sale experts and directly through electronic survey platform in electronic markets. According to the article findings, electronic customers are of high tendency to better understand the electronic seller's ethics, and the customer's higher perception of electronic sellers increases the shopping. On-time and correct electronic seller's responses affect positively on the customers' loyalty. The consumer loyalty regarding the ethics of electronic retailer's scale is greater completeness to evaluate consumer perceptions of e-retailers' ethics than scales using a one-dimensional approach. This study further examines both individualism and collectivism at the individual level, which is rare in the existing literature.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the information sharing (IS) in a supply chain (SC) with a vendor selling goods via an e-retailer to consumers. Four scenarios were considered for the multistage game between the vendor and the e-retailer, and the vendor’s policy of IS and the e-retailer’s decision on online platform access were discussed under each scenario. The results show that the e-retailer will access the online platform at a low fixed access fee and will not at a high fixed access fee. Whether the vendor shares information with the e-retailer or not, he/she always faces a worse situation with e-retailer’s online access. The vendor’s decision on IS hinges on the commission rate, contesting intensity, and fixed access fee. When the commission rate is low, the vendor will share the demand if the fixed access fee is low and will not share the information if the access fee is moderate. When the commission rate is high and the contesting is fierce, the vendor is willing to share the demand if the fixed access fee is low or moderate and has no difference in the decision on IS if the fixed access fee is high.

In the digital world, it’s somewhat difficult to manage the expectations of the present customers especially E-Commerce Shoppers who are often challenging and pushed to keep up with what is anticipated to them. Numerous E-shoppers are under pressure to locate and approach to convey an offline in-store ride to the online store ride of higher level interaction with their customers. Experts have cited that all kinds of powers are clearly in the fingers of customers and that their never ever change their behaviors, this leads to force them to approach various online shops portals to adapt. Online shopping comes to be greatly empowered, the E-shoppers expectations from retailers to vendors and are developing a rapid shift in their behavior with an emphasis on pace and convenience. Shopper’s interest spans have become shorter, with 50 percent of shoppers leaping from one retailer website to another, earlier they making an enduring purchase. In addition, greater than eighty percent of shoppers are taking their shopping experience in both online as well as offline. A retailer’s internet site is one of the key places where customers go to search about their dream product’s records and pricing. The demand for the quick shipping of products purchased and handy services, such as click on online and collect in store, as properly as seamless returns have led to groups developing easy, no-fuss fee options. Research indicates that primary shops will continue to offer higher approaches to gather products purchased online from their stores, as a way of appealing to customers and supplying larger convenience. Based on these prevailing conditions a study was performed on E-Commerce components impacting consumer’s online purchasing conducted on the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Major portions of primary data collection were done via the questionnaires method and by means of emails in two predominant cities of UAE (Sharjah, Abu Dhabi). Cost, time saving (shipping), maintaining customers private details in a secured manner and comfort while do shopping were recognized as vital elements and this leads to assured buying conduct of online shopping. The www is to remodel in the region of populace where communal networked group impact and leads to online shopping.

Full textAbstract:
Websites are regarded as domains of limitless information which anyone and everyone can access. The new trend of technology has shaped the way we do and manage our businesses. Today, advancements in Internet technology has given rise to the proliferation of e-commerce websites. This, in turn made the activities and lifestyles of marketers/vendors, retailers and consumers (collectively regarded as users in this paper) easier as it provides convenient platforms to sale/order items through the internet. Unfortunately, these desirable benefits are not without drawbacks as these platforms require that the users spend a lot of time and efforts searching for best product deals, products updates and offers on ecommerce websites. Furthermore, they need to filter and compare search results by themselves which takes a lot of time and there are chances of ambiguous results. In this paper, we applied web crawling and scraping methods on an e-commerce website to obtain HTML data for identifying products updates based on the current time. These HTML data are preprocessed to extract details of the products such as name, price, post date and time, etc. to serve as useful information for users.

Full textAbstract:
Social commerce (s-commerce) is a rapidly developing form of e-commerce powered by social media influencers (SMIs). It can create valuable opportunities for retailers. In light of this growing trend, this study explores the influence of consumers’ engagement experiences (social support and presence) on community identification and consumers’ attachment to SMIs, along with their impact on consumers’ stickiness in the s-commerce context. We explore this through social presence and social support theory. The survey data from 411 s-commerce users via an online questionnaire were analyzed empirically with the PLS-SEM approach. The results indicated that presence and social support have significantly positive impacts on consumers’ attachment to SMIs and community identification, respectively. This increases users’ stickiness in s-commerce. This study enriches our understanding of user stickiness in s-commerce and can assist online vendors in developing marketing strategies and cultivating sustained relationships with their users.

Full textAbstract:
The e-commerce market of Pakistan has phenomenally fostered in recent years as a result of cyberspace expansion and launching of various national and international vendors. While country’s e-commerce scenario has significantly reshaped, customers are still reluctant to adopt e-payment methods and cash on delivery (COD) prevails as the method of payments for online shopping. This study was conducted to empirically investigate major factors which influence Pakistani customers to opt for COD while shopping online. A framework was proposed based on seven constructs and the data were collected using 5-point Likert-type scale. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v. 22 and Amos v. 23 were used for statistical analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). Cronbach’s alpha values above .85 were found suggesting good internal consistency. The goodness-of-fit index and adjusted goodness-of-fit index values were observed to be 0.933 and 0.866, respectively. In SEM analysis, perceived security against online scams and perceived control over the buying process were observed to be the key role players instigating Pakistani customers to use COD. Interestingly, perceived trust and perceived satisfaction did not show significant impact. Moreover, the moderator of ease of use positively mediated the influence of perceived security on the use of COD. This study presents imperative implications for online businesses as well as government agencies. The investigation provides an insight into purchase behaviors of Pakistani e-customers and has paramount importance for e-commerce retailers and marketing startups in evolving e-commerce scenario of the country.

Full textAbstract:
This study showed that the relationship between E-retailers and E-vendors is identified
into nine major dimensions. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in nine factors of RBRV
dimension which were pricing, connectivity, bargaining power, regulatory framework,
trust, business growth, rewards and speed. Further exploratory factor analysis established
the reliability for RBRV scale. The current findings lined with Sukresna, I. M., et al.
(2015) who categorized RBRV dimensions into speed, market orientation, trust,
dependence, role performance of relationship dimensions. Newly explored dimensions in
the current study like pricing, bargaining power, regulatory framework, rewards,
business growth and biases as explained in details in the previous sections add new
insight into the relationship channel in E-commerce industry. Majority of the past studies
focused on role performance, trust, satisfaction and dependence to understand the overall
perception of e-vendors towards e-retailers in E-commerce industry. The current study
kept exclusive focus on benefits and explored it further by modeling the impact of
RBRV on the cognitive evaluation of relationship channel and its further impact on the
future relationship channel between the e-vendors and e-retailers.
This study contributes to further understanding of e-retailers and vendor relationships by
matching the perspectives of vendors in impacting on e-retailers. Hence we can interpret
that based on the factors which sub categorized into two major output that defines the
relationship between the E-retailers and E-vendors are market orientation and long term
orientation. Market orientation reveals on the factors such as pricing, connectivity,
bargaining power, regulatory framework while the long term orientation impacts on the
factors such as trust, business growth, biasness, rewards and speed. The infrastructure
that e-commerce companies build around relationships could affect traditional firms.
Relationship can create barriers to competition as suppliers and customers rely on those
with whom they work on a continual basis. There are also implications for theory by
Page 24
finding the linkage between the long term and market orientation and the importance of
relationship management, this study has supported existing theory from the channels
literature.
The main problems in E-commerce Industry in India from sellers’ perspective can be
defined in some categories according to past data and data from our study. The
categories are given below
● GST
● Violating Rules
● Penalty
● Returned Goods
● Cash on Delivery
● Transportation
● Marketplace Size
● Commision
● Global Selling
● Counterfeit Products
● Price Competition
● Poor Infrastructure
● High Cost, High discounts
● Inventory
The marketplaces and regulatory bodies can work on that problems and can give a good
E-commerce environment for the sellers and can also make the E-commerce industry
better. In the study we also found that there is need of third party consulting firm or
regulatory body to solve the problems between marketplaces and sellers.
Making Marketplaces better for sellers can also bring the satisfaction level of the
customers and make them happy. Ultimately the E-commerce industry can grow better
and better.

The digital revolution has transformed many offline retailers to perform their business activities online, resulting in tough competition in a dynamic marketing environment. A well-built, user friendly, and attractive e-commerce website will result in high traffic intensity and eventually impact the market position of the online vendor. Over the past few decades, a number of studies have been done to predict the key determinants of e-commerce system success. This chapter considers the criteria, namely system quality, content quality, use, trust, support, personalization, and electronic word-of-mouth. Evaluating objects based on a single criterion may pose to be subjective, which have shifted these decisions towards multiple criteria, and hence has popularized the concept of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). This chapter combines Pythagorean fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (PFAHP) and complex proportional assessment of alternatives with grey relations (COPRAS-G), under multiple decision makers, to select the best e-commerce website from five alternatives.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how purchase perceptions influence consumers’ Internet buying practices. Using traditional, pre-Internet era buying motivators as a starting point, a survey is developed specifically for Internet consumers. With the goal of developing a better understanding of Internet buyers, 16 influencers falling within four general categories—product perception, shopping experience, customer service, and consumer risk—are examined. Results are reported for each category and related to demographic variables. The survey instrument described in this chapter, along with the results of the survey, are important tools for furthering the understanding of the growth in electronic retailing. Successful electronic retailers, merchants, and e-commerce systems developers must understand and acknowledge the effects that consumers’ perceptions about the marketplace in general and about each vendor’s website in particular play in consumer’s decisions to buy or not to buy.

Trust in exchanges is an important concept in business and has become of topic of some interest in e-commerce. Substantial work has been done on how institutional mechanisms, technology, word-of-mouth, and numerous other variables affect trust in a website and potential customers’ willingness to conduct business there. This study continues that line of research by considering how the millennial generation perceives the trustworthiness of three types of online sites: a retailer, an auction site, and a social networking site. Little work has been done on whether social network sites have more or less trust than other types of websites and what aspects of trust are affected. Given the broad trend toward utilizing these social network sites for commercial purposes, it makes sense to assess how targeted users view and interact with them. This study presents preliminary data on all of these issues, suggesting that there do appear to be differences between social network sites and more traditional online vendors.

There is no doubt that the digital transformation is assuming some characteristic features: progressive digitization of the economy, increased relevance of digital platforms, progressive digitization of business models, disintermediation due to e-commerce, servitization of the value proposition and/or operating model, digital re-invention, spread of technoculture in consumer contexts, managerial automation due to algorithms and AI adoption, increased consumers’ brand experience, social engagement, big data analysis centrality, symbiotic value creation expectations at societal level.However, now very little is investigated the effect on governmentality (or the art of government) of these transformations. What role should the public system and actors play? In a first preliminary analysis it seems that this role could be confined but not limited to: 1. promoting a growing adoption of these transformations from all the economic system’s key players (firms, retailers, suppliers, technology vendors, Universities, research centers, consumers). 2. fostering networking for DT3. Financially supporting DT and disciplining it4. Protecting the SME promoting DT processes at an aggregate level (districts, supply chains, clusters, Regional Innovation Systems). 5. Digital transformation of public administration itself, permitting the same to evolve towards a systemic view of governmentality 6. Adoption of a digital service culture.The general aim of this article is to assess the main directions along which the digital transformation is affecting global economy, mainly under a twofold perspective. 1.A firm’s and managerial perspective, discussing the most relevant managerial topic emerging with the digital transformation and above listed. 2.A governmentality perspective, studying some calls launched by some of the most relevant European Countries (Italy, Germany, England, France) to investigate the main objectives and scopes of digital transformation under a public management eye. Primary and secondary sources of information will be integrated for achieve such a research purpose. The information borrowed from institutional calls will be integrated by media interpretations of the phenomenon under analysis. Reports on the digital transformation by leading consulting firms operating in the countries will be also analyzed.The contribution is conceptual and interpretive in nature.
