Drawing on consumer socialization theory, this research investigates the impact of egoism, sense of belonging, and internet usage on young Chinese consumers' electronic word of mouth (eWOM). Normative and informative internet mediates the relationship between internet usage and eWOM. Furthermore, the role of TAM factors was explored in the structured model. A total of 876 Chinese consumers participated in the online survey. Structure equation modeling was adopted in the data analysis stage. The findings suggest that egoism, sense of belonging, and internet usage have positive influences on electronic word of mouth. Two factors of TAM (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) significantly moderates the relationship between egoism, sense of belonging, and e-WOM. Finally, informative and normative internet significantly mediates the relationship between internet usage and e-WOM. This study provides deeper understanding of young Chinese consumers' internet usage behavior. Implications for academicians and managers are discussed.

The internet plays a vital role in the business environment. With the internet, companies can easily reach targeted consumers in a wide area and can deliver their services faster. This technology gives rise to high competition between companies in terms of delivery of goods and services using the internet as a means. Companies that can take full advantage of the internet may be able to dominate the market. Internet usage can be measured by how companies manage their websites, consumer experience, image, and consumer trust, which can lead to satisfaction. This study aims to analyze and understand the effect of website characteristics, consumer experience, and company image on consumer satisfaction mediated by trust in JD.ID. This study uses a quantitative method by distributing online questionnaires to the JD.ID user community, with a total of 150 respondents with a minimum age of 17 years, and domiciled in Surabaya. The results showed that website characteristics and consumer experience significantly affect consumer trust. Further, corporate image has a significant effect on trust, while consumer trust has a significant effect on consumer satisfaction. Moreover, consumer trust strongly mediates the relationship between website characteristics, consumer experience, and company image on consumer satisfaction. The result indicates that the higher the characteristics of the JD.ID website, consumer experience, company image, and consumer confidence in JD.ID, the higher the level of consumer satisfaction.

The usage of mobile Internet service has been on the rise as more people become to use mobile devices. WiMAX, a mobile Internet service, was first commercialized in Korea in 2006. However, after first six months, a number of users discontinued the service and switched to other Internet services. Because customer retention is important for the success of any business, this research examines the factors that affect the continued usage of mobile Internet service. A user of a mobile Internet service is both a user of technology and consumer of services. Therefore, to examine the continued usage of mobile Internet service, the authors combine the value adoption model, representing the service consumer perspective, with the information systems continuance model, representing the technology user perspective. The study is conducted in the context of WiMAX. The data was collected from 200 WiMAX users. The model developed in this study is a unique contribution to theory as it discusses the continued adoption of a commercial information system.

Full textAbstract:
Mobile commerce has gained pace in recent years, providingan extended interaction channel between consumers and online retailers. Regardless of a significant increase in mobile internet usage, the adoption of mobile e-commerce (MC) services has not been as far-reached in the growing economies of the world. Recently, research in the e-commerce applied Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) indicated contradicting results.Some research studies found perceived usefulness has a significant effect on online purchase attitude, whereas in another study it was insignificant. We understand this, among many other factors, to be a consequence of the different levels of internet usage and its penetration in the region. We performed this study in Pakistan origin, a growing economy, where internet usage has significantly increased in the last decade or so. The e-commerce industry reviews pointed out that low consumer trust and poor logistics might be the key constraints in B2C mobile e-commerce adoption in Pakistan. Based on these grounds we adapted TAM by including consumer trust belief in mobile e-commerce and excluding perceived ease of use, as many research studies reported it insignificant for online shopping context. The proposition developed that trust in online shopping has an impact on improved perceptions about the usefulness of this interaction channel between online buyers and sellers. This positive usage attitude facilitates favorable online purchase intentions. The research conducted based on empirical evidence from Pakistan, and the model was developed on the bases of TAM, consumer trust in MC, and perceived usefulness and trust in mobile e-commerce. An online questionnaire survey was distributed to gather responses. Data analysis was performed with the partial least square technique or structured equation modeling. The research findings show that belief in trustworthiness of e-commerce has a more significant impact on usage attitude for mobile e-commerce as compared to PU. This implicates that online retailers in Pakistan should focus more on developing trust of their prospects by providing trust cues and other trust-building mechanisms. The research model empirically studied on evidence from Pakistan was first of its kind . In the future, the research can be conducted on specific categories of items (such as apparel fashion, technology base products) or services (such as traveling, hotels) developing effective strategies for retailers in B2C mobile e-commerce.

Full textAbstract:
There has been little understanding of how consumers adopt and use the mobile Internet. This dissertation seeks to bridge this gap in prior literature by focusing on consumers’ cross-platform consumption behavior on mobile devices. The first study of this dissertation addresses how the adoption of mobile applications influences the use of corresponding mobile websites. Pseudo-panel analysis based on repeated cross-sectional data suggests that the introduction of a mobile app by a major national media company leads to a significant increase in demand at the corresponding mobile news website. In addition, it reports that this effect is greater for consumers with higher appreciation for concentrated news content, with stronger propensity for a particular political viewpoint, and with fewer time constraints. The results are consistent with the interpretation that adoption of a provider’s news app stimulates corresponding mobile news website visits. The second study of this dissertation examines whether the quality of local fixed-line Internet service influences mobile Internet adoption and usage. An empirical analysis shows that local fixed-line Internet speed relates negatively to mobile Internet adoption and usage; if the local fixed-line connection is insufficient, consumers tend to get online through their mobile phones. Further, better local mobile Internet speed increases the likelihood of adopting and using the mobile Internet. Neither fixed-line nor mobile Internet speed has significant impacts on mobile-specific offline services such as taking photos or videos. In some circumstances, competition between the two platforms is stronger, such as among younger consumers and those living in areas with lower fixed-line Internet speeds.

Purpose The purpose of this thesis is, looking from a consumer’s perspective, to investigate the influences of students website selection Background Today’s students are a new generation of consumers. They have been brought up with digi-tal media and have different attitudes towards marketing than their parents. Most market management theories were created before the digital revolution. Students are tomorrow’s high income consumers. It is valuable for companies to understand how these consumers orientate themselves on the internet and how to best reach them. Method An exploratory/explanatory deductive study to map what websites students use, how the websites are found and why they are used was conducted. The empirical findings were col-lected through group interviews. Conclusion Students have a very habitual behavior on the internet. They use some of the internet’s largest brands. Each website offers a niche and specialized service, presented in a simple and interactive manner. Students choose one website for each specific service. As the in-ternet is large with a lot of information they have a cluster of chore websites visited on a regular basis. From that base, students use friends and search engines to navigate them-selves to the destinations of their choice. Advertisement offer more trust than enticement to actually visit the sites.

Full textAbstract:
The internet has become a vital part of peoples everyday life and helped connect the world together. With the explosive growth of smaller IoT devices during the 2010s users have surrounded themselves with ever more smart devices. These IoT devices,equipped with sensors and wireless communication capabilities, are capable of forming small networks which support peoples everyday life. Security in IoT has been considered to be somewhat of a jokein the industry due to it often being neglected by manufacturers.This is due to it being built with the SCADA framework in mind but faces many more challenges, for example the limited hardware of the devices, the number of devices communicating and wider range of environments in which they operate. Apart from hardware related risks, the users also runs the risk of having their entire life monitored by these IoT devices by collecting the entire stream of data produced by them as well as these IoT devices can be abused to gain more than necessary information about them. The behaviours of users play a large roll in keeping systems secure. Humans makemistakes, not because they are lazy or stupid, but they tend to choose the path of least resistance, writing passwords down or skipping security measures when it becomes overwhelming. However,developers carry a certain level of responsibility for this, since a well designed user interface can facilitate the use of such security measures. A survey was sent out to get a better understanding of consumers knowledge and behaviours regarding IT,a survey was distributed with almost 100 respondents. The results showed that background were tied to greater knowledge and understanding of IT but did not mean that you had a better mind set of security. Similarly, both consumers with less or more IT knowledge could be lazy for the sake of convenience.

Full textAbstract:
The tourism industry has been identified as the industry with the most potential to create jobs and contribute largely to economic growth. In order to live up to this potential, tourism businesses need to create tourism products for potential tourists which need to be promoted successfully through a number of mediums. The use of the Internet as a medium for promoting and selling tourism products is increasing, however, in order for tourism businesses to successfully promote the tourism product through the Internet, they have to understand the needs and wants of their current and potential target markets. One segment of the tourism market that has come under increasing attention is the mature traveller market. This market is defined as travellers who are 50 years of age and older. Generally, the mature traveller market is viewed as a small homogenous group of old consumers with little or no spending power. However, evidence suggests that this market is comprised of an increasing number of diverse people, who use the Internet and like to spend on tourism products. Therefore, this research will examine differences between Internet users and Internet non-users in the mature traveller market. Specific attention will be paid to investigate differences in demographic, socioeconomic, Internet use and travel-related characteristics. The identification of these characteristics will enable a profile to be d~veloped for each group, which can be used by tourism businesses to effectively promote tourism products over the Internet to the mature market In order to collect data from potential respondents, a questionnaire which was used in a similar study conducted in the US was used. Data was collected using a convenience sample of Internet users and Internet non-users from the Eastern Cape and Gauteng provinces of South Africa. Cronbach alpha and factor analysis were used to assess the reliability and validity of the research instrument and measurement scales. In order to test whether differences did exist between the two groups the Chi-square and t-test statistics were used. Finally in order to examine which factors where influential in differentiating between Internet users and Internet non-users discriminant analysis was employed. The findings in the present study suggest that there are significant differences in demographics, socioeconomic, Internet use and travel-related characteristics between Internet users and Internet non-users in the mature market. By understanding the differences between Internet users and Internet non-users, tourism businesses can identify marketing strategies that appeal to mature travellers who use the Internet and to those do not, by utilising information gathered from Internet users and Internet non-users demographic, socio-economic and travel-related characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
La capacidad de realizar diversas actividades simultáneamente en el uso de los media está desarrollando abundante investigación. La multitarea también se relaciona con el consumo de contenidos audiovisuales. La creación del hábito de simultanear tareas puede ser debido a la influencia del entorno o fruto de un comportamiento consciente dirigido a objetivos.
Los trabajos realizados en el campo de la fisiología, de la neurología y de la psicología social muestran resultados consensuados en los que ambos enfoques -entorno y/o comportamiento dirigido- definen un comportamiento habitual. Como explica LaRose “el usuario inicia de manera activa o reflexiva un comportamiento en una situación concreta pero la asociación de manera repetida de este comportamiento hace que la representación mental de esta costumbre sea cada vez más accesible a la memoria. La repetición en un contexto estable hace que los usuarios respondan a las gratificaciones a medio/largo plazo en lugar de a las expectativas de resultados inmediatos y momentáneos” (LaRose, 2010).
Nuestro objetivo es describir las conductas realizadas en el contexto concreto del visionado audiovisual, para explicar los posibles hábitos que se den en dicho contexto, aunque se tiene especial interés en:
- La compañía, presencial o virtual, durante el consumo del contenido audiovisual. Y cómo se comparte el visionado.
- La realización de otras actividades durante el visionado no relacionadas con mismo, ya que la tecnología permite el control de la reproducción audiovisual y el hábito minimiza el gasto de recursos cognitivos.
El producto escogido son las series de ficción y el contexto, la conexión a Internet para un visionado online.
Nuestro interés se focaliza en las tecnologías online sin buscar la comparación directa con el visionado de televisión tradicional, aunque somos conscientes de que algunos de los hábitos que se describan pueden producirse también en el visionado frente a la pantalla tradicional. Esto es debido a la variedad de dispositivos que permiten la conexión a Internet.
Con esta finalidad se expone en primer lugar, una revisión de trabajos que analizan el consumo del audiovisual en Internet, en segundo lugar se contextualiza el concepto de hábito en los media, en tercer y cuarto lugar se revisan estudios relativos a la Teoría de usos y gratificaciones y a la multitarea como tema de estudio.
La parte empírica se realiza mediante método selectivo con encuesta o cuestionario online, que es respondido por 2010 usuarios de la comunidad online Series.ly. El estudio busca responder a interrogantes cómo: ¿Facilita el consumo a través de Internet el compartir virtualmente el visionado? ¿El control de la reproducción facilita el comentario mientras se visiona? ¿Además de comentar o valorar la serie, realizan otro tipo de actividades? ¿Cuáles?
Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las series de ficción se comparten en primer lugar con los amigos, seguido de la familia y a ser posible de forma presencial, que el consumo se realiza en la habitación personal (sólo o con los amigos y/o familiares) utilizando preferentemente el portátil y que durante el visionado no sólo se realizan actividades de compartir y comentar el mismo, sino también otras como jugar a videojuegos, hacer deberes, leer que tienen una demanda cognitiva superior al simple comentario simultáneo al visionado.
Futuras líneas de investigación permitirán profundizar en el visionado conectado a través de la red tal como se ha realizado en el estudio. En cuanto a multitarea, se propone profundizar en la tipología de actividades así como es necesaria la reflexión sobre la asimilación o comprensión del contenido consumido mientras se realizan dichas actividades simultáneas.Nowadays, the ability to perform various activities simultaneously using the new media is being the subject of an extensive research. Multitasking is also related to the consuming of audiovisual contents. Creating the habit of performing simultaneous tasks may be due to either the influence of the environment or the result of a conscious goal-directed behavior. Research works done in the field of physiology, neuroscience and social psychology show consensual results in which both approaches -environment and/or directed behavior- define a regular behavior. As LaRose explains "the user starts either actively or reflexively a behavior, in a specific situation, but the continuous repeated association of this behavior causes that the mental representation of this custom be increasingly accessible to memory. Repetition in a stable context makes users answer perks medium / long term rather than the expectations of immediate results and momentary" (LaRose, 2010). Our goal is to describe actions realized in the specific context of audiovisual viewing, to explain the possible habits that occur in this context, although it is particularly interested in: - The case of being with company, in person or online, for the consumption of audiovisual content, as well as how this viewing is shared. - The realization of other activities during the viewing unrelated to it, since the technology allows the control of the audiovisual reproduction and minimizes the spending habit of cognitive resources. The product chosen are fiction series and the context, the Internet connection for an online viewing. Our interest is focused on online technologies without seeking direct comparison with traditional television viewing, although we are aware that some of the habits that are described can also be produced in front of the traditional viewing screen. This is due to the variety of devices that can be connected to the Internet. In order to get this objective, firstly we expose a review of studies analyzing the consumption of online audiovisual; secondly, we contextualize the concept of habit in relation with the media; thirdly and fourthly, we review studies related to the Theory of applications and gratuities, as well as the multitasking as a subject of our research. The empirical part is done through a selective method with an online survey or questionnaire, which is answered by 2010 users from the online community Series.ly. The study seeks to answer questions like: Does the consumption through the Internet facilitate the virtually sharing of the viewing? Does the control of reproduction facilitate the fact of being able to comment during the viewing? Besides comment on or evaluate the series, do you perform other activities? What? The results show that fiction series are first shared with friends, followed by family and if possible in person, that consumption takes place in the personal bedroom (either alone or with and / or friends and family) using preferably the laptop, and during the viewing not only users share and comment, but they also perform other activities such as playing videogames, doing homework, reading…; activities that implies superior cognitive demands than the simply commentary of a viewing. Future research can deepen on the connected viewing through the network as it has been done in this Thesis. As for multitasking, we propose to analyze the types of activities, as well as to reflect on both the assimilation and the understanding of the consumed content while these activities are carried out simultaneously.

Full textAbstract:
The rise of the digital technology, social networking or interactivity have an extensive impact on what is happening in virtual world. Users of Internet are more and more often introduced to the new available on-line tools. Some of them have adapted those new trends with no problems and they have been taking an advantage of them with an ease, whereas others have had problems with converting themselves into the new digital era. Alternatively, others are not fascinated by what Internet offers or they simply cannot afford it due to many circumstances. However, with no doubts, we can say that the Internet and the digital revolution brought about many issues to discuss or to have a research about. To some extent, new trends, especially the expansion of the Internet, are affecting all traditional media and this, in my opinion, might result in the new phenomena like potential division of society into Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants proposed by Prensky (2001a).The project focused on investigating motives for choosing sport websites by both groups with special consideration of interactivity factor. The motives have been checked via in-depth interviews using the sample of ten interviewees both private and professional users of Polish sport informative websites. I wanted to check whether my results either duplicate what Prensky described in his articles or they confirm contradictive opinion given by VanSlyke.Additionally, I have compared those most popular motives with sample of five most often visited Polish sport informative websites, according to Alexa rank (2012). The level of interactivity on those websites was assessed by an appearance of examples of new new media like blogs, podcasts, number of posts on Facebook fan pages, created account on Twitter or channel on YouTube (Levinson, 2010). Also possibility of commenting was taken into consideration. Having checked those variables via cyber ethnography method (secondary method) I was able to identify which of the sampled websites could be considered as most interactive one.Despite persisting limitations, the method has brought reliable and valid data, according to which I have given my conclusions by answering research questions stated at the beginning of this project.

Electronic commerce is significantly prospering with online finance service requirement increasing. For satisfying this requirement, banks provide Internet banking service to obtain or retain customer base. Internet banking is a web-based finance information system, web design quality becomes the determinant of satisfaction. However, the growths of website’s population increase significantly for several years in compare with the amount of Internet banking users. Obviously, the entry barriers of Internet banking are higher than banking sector perceived. Thus, we propose a framework based on Technology Acceptance Model plus system-enabled barrier to analyze the affecting factors. Then constructing an experimental design, which observes the diversity between user expectation and acknowledgement of Internet banking services. The finding shows that perceived factors affect Internet banking usage, system factors affect the usage partially, and personal characteristics factors are non-significant effect. It imply that psychological factors are the main determinants of the usage, follow with system factors. The contribution of this research is showing user reluctance of Internet banking usage. According to the finding, we suggest that Internet banking system development should make more consideration about interface simplification and human nature with target consumers. Furthermore, this research response to the TAM research finding and providing a viewpoint that not perceived factors but system factors affect Internet banking usage. For further research, this research provides an extending field for information system usage, which is related to both perceived factors and system factors.

AbstractThe relevance of emoji in social media marketing has attracted tremendous interest from academics and marketing professionals alike ever since emoji became a fixed component in user-to-user and business-to-user communication on online platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. Using a quantitative research approach in the form of a self-administered online survey in an experimental setting, the purpose of this study is to investigate what type of emoji positively impacts consumer behaviour, purchase intention, and user interaction in tourism-related Instagram posts. This research is novel in that it bridges the usage of emoji in the context of social media and tourism. The findings support tourism managers in the practical use of emoji for social media marketing campaigns on Instagram and show that (positive) face emoji evoke more positive emotions than non-face emoji.

AbstractSlanted news coverage, also called media bias, can heavily influence how news consumers interpret and react to the news. Models to identify and describe biases have been proposed across various scientific fields, focusing mostly on English media. In this paper, we propose a method for analyzing media bias in German media. We test different natural language processing techniques and combinations thereof. Specifically, we combine an IDF-based component, a specially created bias lexicon, and a linguistic lexicon. We also flexibly extend our lexica by the usage of word embeddings. We evaluate the system and methods in a survey (N = 46), comparing the bias words our system detected to human annotations. So far, the best component combination results in an F$$_{1}$$ 1 score of 0.31 of words that were identified as biased by our system and our study participants. The low performance shows that the analysis of media bias is still a difficult task, but using fewer resources, we achieved the same performance on the same task than recent research on English. We summarize the next steps in improving the resources and the overall results.

The Netherlands has experienced a high uptake of broadband Internet amongst its population. However, the question remains whether there are any differences between people with a broadband connection to people with a narrowband connection. The central research question in this chapter is therefore: how do Dutch internet users with a broadband connection differ from people with a narrowband connection in terms of demographics (age, gender, education), internet experience (experience, frequency, intensity of use), expectations (of narrowband users), experiences (of broadband users), annoyances, and patterns of internet usage? Secondly, this chapter addresses the question of whether and how these differences change over time. The chapter uses a model of technology adoption and use that is built upon different theories such as diffusion of innovations, uses and gratifications, and media choice theory. The results are based on two online questionnaires, in 2003 and 2004/2005 (N = 2404 and N = 1102) with regard to current Internet behaviour in the Netherlands. Results show that broadband users are heavier Internet users and that broadband technology is mostly a matter of comfort, not of complete new ways of using the Internet.

The previous chapter (Chapter 6) examined the differential usage of the Internet in broadband and narrowband environments. However, the previous chapter excluded the comparison of current and future consumer use of various electronic services and applications at home and in the work place in the UK. A recently published report that was submitted to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), UK, suggests that the penetration of broadband is likely to promote the usage of advanced Internet content and applications; however, due to the lack of data at present, it is difficult to support this theoretical claim (Analysys, 2005). The Analysys report states, “Much has been made of the requirement for countries to invest in broadband communications infrastructure, and to promote its usage. Increased take-up of broadband access services is expected to stimulate usage of advanced Internet content and applications by consumers and by businesses, thus changing individuals’ behaviour, creating new industries, or increasing productivity in existing industries. However, data to prove the theory is hard to come by” (Analysys, 2005).

This chapter empirically examines factors affecting the adoption of broadband in the developing countries of Bangladesh and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In the case of Bangladesh, attitudinal, normative, and control factors—discussed in the UK case study in Division I of this book—were used and adapted in order to provide insights about broadband adopters and non-adopters within the developing nations. In order to examine the adoption of broadband in the KSA, a number of variables were employed, which also included some of the variables discussed in the UK case study in Division I. As the Internet was introduced comparatively late in Bangladesh (in 1996), in early 2004 the total penetration of Internet within the country was only 0.25 percent (Totel, 2004). It was suggested that the major obstacles associated with low Internet penetration were the low economic status and still-developing infrastructure within the country (Totel, 2004). A recent media report further emphasised that “Bangladesh is not anywhere on the global broadband map, but it is doing its best to get online. Local service provider, DNS SatComm has started deploying fixed wireless gear from Cambridge Broadband and will offer access to government offices, and other commercial entities” (Malik, 2005). It has also been suggested that Internet connection is slow and costly and not affordable by the general public (Hossain, 2004). Given the situations of Bangladesh in terms of demography, telecommunication infrastructure, and affordability of Internet by people, it was felt that understanding factors including cost of Internet access and subscription affecting consumer adoption might help to encourage further diffusion of high speed Internet. In the KSA, the Internet has taken some time to diffuse and is therefore seen as a relatively new technology. The KSA first started with dial up connections and then moved on to adopt broadband and satellite connections to provide better data communication services to its citizens. However, even with the availability of broadband technology, the rate of adoption is considered to be relatively poor in comparison to other developed countries such as the UK, as well as newly industrialised leading broadband users, such as South Korea (Oh et al., 2003). This poor connectivity is often claimed to be caused by website filtration in the region. Consequently, broadband adoption has been slower than expected in the region. Furthermore, a survey of existing literature on broadband adoption suggests that although both macro and micro level studies were conducted in order to understand the deployment of broadband in the developed world and leading countries such as South Korea, none of these studies focus upon developing countries, such as Bangladesh and the KSA. Although this could be attributed to the slow infrastructure development and low rate of adoption within the two countries, this has provided the motivation for undertaking exploratory research in order to develop an understanding of the perceptions of consumers regarding broadband adoption in these developing nations. Thus, this chapter aims to explore the reasons for the slow adoption of broadband in Bangladesh and the KSA by examining the individual level factors affecting broadband uptake in both cases. The research will thereby seek to adapt the individual level factors from the UK case study (Division I) and attempt to examine if and why the adapted factors affect consumers’ attitudes towards the adoption of broadband in the countries. The chapter begins with a brief discussion of the theoretical basis and variables employed to examine broadband adoption. This is followed by a brief discussion of the utilized research methods. The findings are then presented and discussed. Finally, a conclusion to the chapter is provided.

Broadband is a technology still penetrating the telecommunication market and is seen as the most significant evolutionary step since the emergence of the Internet. However we argue that in the rush to achieve market share, insufficient attention has been paid to quality issues, the central theme of this chapter. Indeed, the concept of quality is a multi-faceted one, for which various perspectives can be distinguished. In this chapter, we take a look at broadband quality as perceived by users in the UK and report the result of a survey, which determined the users’ perception on broadband quality. The results of the survey show, that quality, though desired by many, has been short-changed by the desire to have access to the Internet via broadband at the lowest cost possible. However, this has not encouraged some consumers to take on broadband access despite some low prices offered by service providers as these low prices for broadband access is not commensurate to their needs.

The (information digital) network bandwidth and its usage through Internet subscription, by far, is perhaps the only uni-modal commodity provided to today’s consumers at a flat rate. Regardless of his/her actual bandwidth usage, a consumer is charged a uniform subscription fee by the Internet Service Providers (ISP). Meanwhile, the ISPs have a considerable stake in the overall infrastructure which supports the local perimeters of the Internet. This article presents a rigorous statistical analysis with the objective of determining the optimal billing or pricing policy for the ISPs of the U.S. on the basis of the proposed ‘variable subscription-rate’ business model. Two leading global consumer profiles were selected for data comparison on a cardinal scale; NYC, NY, U.S.A. and Seoul, South Korea.

Full textAbstract:
Convergence products are multifunctional designs which are changing the way consumers use existing functionalities. Manufacturers’ ventures in developing convergence products abound in the marketplace. Smartphones, tablet computers, internet TV, are just a few examples. The complexity of designing a convergence product can differ significantly from that of single function products which most research in “Design for Market Systems” aims at. In this paper, a new customer-driven approach for designing convergence products is proposed to address the following issues: (i) a design representation scheme that considers information from design solutions used in existing products. The representation facilitates the coupling of and combining multiple functionalities; (ii) a hierarchical Bayes model that evaluates consumers’ heterogeneous choices while revealing how usage of multiple functionalities impacts consumers’ preferences; and (iii) design metrics which help evaluate profitability of design alternatives and account for future market penetration given evolving consumer preferences. An example problem for designing a tablet computer is used to demonstrate the proposed approach. The data for the example is collected by conducting a choice-based conjoint survey which yielded 92 responses. The proposed approach is demonstrated with three scenarios differentiated by the consideration of consumer heterogeneity and future market penetration, while comparing how the resulting optimal design solutions for the convergence product differ.

The article analyses the topic of e-trade assessment in a global environment. To achieve the objective, a de-tailed analysis of scientific works was carried out in order to identify the importance of e-trade assessment in a global environment and, by removing the identified limitations, to develop a model of e-trade evaluation applicable to a global environment. The empirical research was based on the developed e-trade evaluation model to test its effectiveness and applicability in a global environment. Based on the data collected, a multi-criteria assessment of e-trade was carried out, dividing the factors into five dimensions: emotional (consumer satisfaction and trust), technological (internet ac-cessibility, data security and privacy), financial (e-GDP, e-trade sales, impact of e-trade on overall company turnover), social (internet usage and purchasing volumes) and tax environment (VAT), and a comparative analysis of the coun-tries to compare the results of economically similar countries, to find out why the market leaders are performing so well in the e-trade sector, and to identify the methodologies and practices used in these countries, so as to identify the most effective methods and practices that can be applied in other countries. The results of the multi-criteria assessment al-lowed European countries to be classified into three groups: from market leaders to the most laggard countries. The strongest growth rates are found in Ro-mania and Bulgaria. It is worth noting that e-trade is also unpopular in South-ern European countries: Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Malta, Cyprus.

Full textAbstract:
Followed by the mobile technology development and high rate of mobile internet usage worldwide, mobile banking has become prominent technological innovation in the banking sector giving a competitive edge over traditional banking. Smartphones and mobile technologies are becoming increasingly available and affordable in North Macedonia in recent years, and many banks are providing banking services to customers via smartphones. The adoption of mobile banking in the country has not reached its full potential yet and has been at its early stage of adoption. However, not many studies investigate determinants of mobile banking adoption which may help banks to design more suitable mobile services for customers and increase the m-banking adoption in the country. This study is the first attempt to fill this gap by examining determinants that affect consumer intention to use mobile banking services in the country, as developing country. To get insights regarding the user adoption of m-banking services in the country, a survey was conducted among more than 150 mobile users. This study proposes a mobile banking user adoption research model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and beside basic constructs (perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and behavioral intention to use) it integrates social image, trust and risk that are specific for mbanking. The results of the empirical study are supporting the proposed basic constructs of the model and some specific relationships are unveiled. This research is a holistic approach representing a solid base for future studies on the adoption of new technologies in the country. Its originality and practical implications are reflected in determining the significance of additional constructs that are specific for m-banking. From practitioner’s viewpoint, this research offers valuable insights for developing m-banking solutions.

Full textAbstract:
Usage Context-Based Design (UCBD) is an area of growing interest within the design community. A framework and a step-by-step procedure for implementing consumer choice modeling in UCBD are presented in this work. To implement the proposed approach, methods for common usage identification, data collection, linking performance with usage context, and choice model estimation are developed. For data collection, a method of try-it-out choice experiments is presented. This method is necessary to account for the different choices respondents make conditional on the given usage context, which allows us to examine the influence of product design, customer profile, usage context attributes, and their interactions, on the choice process. Methods of data analysis are used to understand the collected choice data, as well as to understand clusters of similar customers and similar usage contexts. The choice modeling framework, which considers the influence of usage context on both the product performance, choice set and the consumer preferences, is presented as the key element of a quantitative usage context-based design process. In this framework, product performance is modeled as a function of both the product design and the usage context. Additionally, usage context enters into an individual customer’s utility function directly to capture its influence on product preferences. The entire process is illustrated with a case study of the design of a jigsaw.

In recent years there is an increase in consumption of food products and the supply of fresh vegetables to the consumer is getting more and more popular. However, this group of products is among the fastest perishing products. It is because of environmental and internal factors in vegetables during storage are unavoidable. During the preparation for the market vegetables are being cleaned, washed, sanded, sorted and dried. This consumes a lot of energy and water. Different technological measures are used to reduce the consumption of natural resources during the preparation of products for the market and to slow down their quality changes. Ozone is an effective measure to slow down product bio destruction. Ozone usage in small doses as a disinfectant is recognized as safe. Although there are a lot of publications in the usage of ozone, but its impact on vegetable qualitative indicators has not been sufficiently investigated. There is a lack of research in the analysis of the effects of ozonated water, which can be successfully used in vegetable washing technologies. The article analyzes the effect of ozonated water treatment on fresh carrots colour and quantity of carotenoids. The obtained data showed that the use of ozonated water in concentration of 1.53 ± 0.09 mg L-1 did not have an effect on the amount carotenoids accumulated in the products. Also, ozonated water did not have significant effect on the colour of products.

The evolution of design thinking has seen numerous challenges and advances in transforming information into knowledge for engineers to design systems, products, and processes. These transformations occur in three stages throughout a design process. In simple form, the early, middle, and late stages of a design process serve to develop an understanding of the customer’s needs, arrive at the final concept of the design, and analyze and support the performance and usage profile of the deployed product, respectively. The quality and accuracy of the input information and the effectiveness of each transformation determine the success or failure of the product. Capturing good information and converting it to knowledge are two important tasks that have motivated a long history of research in design processes and tools. In this paper, we propose Design Analytics (DA) as a new paradigm for significantly enhancing the core information-to-knowledge transformations. The overall aim is to capture, store, and leverage digital information about artifacts, their performance, and their usage. The information is transformed into knowledge in each of the three stages using various analytics and cyber-enabled tools such as design repositories and concept generators. The ultimate result is better performing and functioning products. As web analytics has transformed how companies interact with consumers on the internet, we expect DA to transform how companies design products with and for consumers. An illustrative case study is performed to demonstrate some of the foundations of DA in the redesign of a refrigerator.

Data Center power usage has been growing rapidly as new internet applications are developed, requiring computing resources such as high-density cloud computing server farms. All of the electricity consumed by data centers is ultimately turned into heat. This heat is removed using fans, pumps, chillers and air conditioning equipment, which comprise roughly a quarter of the total data center power consumption. As part of a US Department of Energy cost shared grant, a data center test facility was designed and constructed with the goal to demonstrate the potential to reduce cooling energy use to less than 5% of the total IT and facilities energy usage by utilizing liquid cooling of the electronics rack. The system was characterized to develop temperature-based energy-aware servo control algorithms for further cooling energy reductions. These algorithms were implemented to dynamically reduce the data center cooling power consumption while controlling to a specified temperature under varying outdoor temperature and workload conditions. This work illustrates the energy-centric controls that were implemented to achieve dynamic system control in the most energy efficient manner.

Full textAbstract:
Worldwide interest in using recycled materials in flexible pavements as an alternative to virgin materials has increased significantly over the past few decades. Therefore, recycling has been utilized in pavement maintenance and rehabilitation activities. Three types of in-place recycling technologies have been introduced since the late 70s: hot in-place recycling, cold in-place recycling, and full-depth reclamation. The main objectives of this project are to develop a framework and a life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate maintenance and rehabilitation treatments, specifically in-place recycling and conventional paving methods, and develop a LCA tool utilizing Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to help local and state highway agencies evaluate environmental benefits and tradeoffs of in-place recycling techniques as compared to conventional rehabilitation methods at each life-cycle stage from the material extraction to the end of life. The ultimate outcome of this study is the development of a framework and a user-friendly LCA tool that assesses the environmental impact of a wide range of pavement treatments, including in-place recycling, conventional methods, and surface treatments. The developed tool provides pavement industry practitioners, consultants, and agencies the opportunity to complement their projects’ economic and social assessment with the environmental impacts quantification. In addition, the tool presents the main factors that impact produced emissions and energy consumed at every stage of the pavement life cycle due to treatments. The tool provides detailed information such as fuel usage analysis of in-place recycling based on field data.
