Full textAbstract:
This novel is about Jess, a left wing trade unionist and student lawyer who, caught up in a fast-paced Sydney inner city life, goes to a hypnotist in an effort to drink less and instead has an experience of God. Her conscious self cannot cope with this and she represses it, but it still exists in a deeper part of her and the novel tracks the path by which she finally hauls and hacks her way back to it. The novel is divided into four parts, David, Jane, Padma and Jess. The first three parts tell of her emotionally dependencies on other people, and in the last section she finally finds a kind of hard-won peace and self-acceptance, and a love of God that is rooted in the small joys of her daily life.Master of Arts (Hons) (Creative Writing)

Full textAbstract:
Beyond simple shopping needs, nowadays consumers are continuously looking for the consumption of new experiences. This contemporary consumer request also unveils inside shopping centers, which as scholars recognize, are shifting functionality towards becoming centers for customer engagement.Following this trend, marketers are continuously looking into new ways to increase offer attractivity and consequently spur customer engagement. Rituals represent a possible new lens to study consumer behaviour inside the mall landscape and disclose new hidden consumers' processes for value creation.By conducting a pre-study with two mall managers, we sensed their perspective of the mall and individuated the challenges of shopping centers future development and new consumer shopping trends. In a second phase, we focused on analysing the consumer perspective and utilization of the mall by observing their shopping rituals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 consumers constituting of both Young Professionals and families.In conclusion, different types of rituals were individualized and analysed. By applying rituals to the shopping behaviour of consumers inside shopping malls yielded several insights that resulted to be useful for managers and a valuable contribution to academic research. The results show that mall visitors consume specific rituals inside shopping malls depending on both the target groups (young professionals or families) of consumers as well as the mall experience type (seductive, functional, interactive museum or social). Young Professionals tended to be more spontaneous and socially oriented. However, families tended to shop for functional reasons and often have a planned script of their shopping ritual that they follow throughout their shopping journey at a shopping mall.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka fenomenet shoppingturism. Skribenterna valde att utifrån sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer kartlägga de faktorer som bidrar till att resenärer åker på en shoppingresa. Därutöver undersökte skribenterna även om shoppingturism kan kopplas samman med upplevelseturism samt om respondenterna anser att shoppingresandet kan ha någon påverkan på en destination. Metoden som skribenterna har använt sig av är en kvalitativ intervjustudie där intervjumanualen var halvstrukturerad. För att tolka de resultat som framkommit under samtliga intervjuer har skribenterna använt sig av tidigare forskning samt diverse teoretiska analysverktyg. Under empiriavsnittet har skribenterna redovisat de resultat som framkom under samtliga intervjuer. Empiriavsnittet är uppdelat i fem rubriker. Under den första rubriken presenteras intervjudeltagarna. Under den andra rubriken presenteras de faktorer som intervjudeltagarna anser vara bidragande till att de åker på en shoppingresa. Under den tredje rubriken presenteras infrastrukturens samt resekostnaders betydelse för en destination. Under den fjärde rubriken presenteras huruvida shoppingturismen kan kopplas till upplevelseturismen och slutligen presenteras under den femte rubriken huruvida shoppingresandet kan påverka en destination enligt respondenterna.The purpose of this paper is to investigate the phenomenon of shopping tourism. The writers chose to identify the factors that contribute to the travelers to go on a shopping trip from six qualitative interviews. In addition, the writers also investigated if shopping tourism can be connected with adventure tourism and if the respondents think that shopping travel can have an impact on a destination. The method which the writers have used is a qualitative interview study in which the interview guide was semi-structured. To interpret the results that emerged from all interviews, the writers made use of previous research and various theoretical analyses.

This is a product development project which has developed a prototype in order to facilitate for people using mobility devices when they want to buy a larger quantity of groceries. The prototype is a shopping cart composed with the upper part of a walker.Today there are many different types of mobility devices used by elderly and people with physical impairment. According to Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) are accidental falls the most common cause of accidents in Sweden.This project has been using Computer Aided Design (CAD) as a tool to create a visual image of the prototype. The advantage of this is to modify the functionality and performance of the prototype on the computer before the modification takes place in the real model. Using human manikins, the CAD model was rendered in natural surroundings to get as true a picture as possible. The prototype is adjustable, why various anthropometric measurements were used to fit to the individual, but not less than the 40th percentile for women, corresponding to a height of 161 cm.The project has resulted in a CAD model and a functional prototype. The prototype has been tested by a user group at Alla Hjärtans Hus (AHH) and received positive feedback. The prototype also received constructive criticism from users, so suggestions can be applied. Suggestions for further development of the prototype have been developed. The prototype needs to be modified and components must be added before it can be used in grocery retailers.

Full textAbstract:
Digitalization has impacted online retailing heavily, however traditional stores have not changed as much in comparison. Earlier studies have not only suggested how stores could reinvent themselves, but also indicated that brands could have great advantages by doing so. Furthermore, the customer experience and it’s reinforced importance within brick and mortar has been highlighted. It has also been established that the customer experience could be strengthen by implementing advanced technology. Due to the lack of research within the subject and a mainly theoretical discussion about how and why stores implement advanced technology in store, this study aims to investigate from more practical point of view how and why companies implement advanced technology. This study has a qualitative method, by conducting a total of 7 interviews. Five interviews were conducted with employees within different retailing companies implementing advanced technology in store; BMW, Clas Ohlson, Volvo Car Company, Volkswagen and Synsam Group. To continue, two complementary interviews from a rather general market perspective were conducted; one with AMF Fastigheter on their new project The Lobby focusing on the development of the future store and one with Curiat (NZ) Limited a subject specialist on Augmented Reality, which was one of the most common technologies in this study. The study identifies several factors correlating to how and why brands reinvent their physical stores through advanced technologies. In order to implement the technology successfully, such as Virtual Reality, Augmented reality and Interactive Digital Signage, traditional retailers have to modify their business models and their operational skills within the organization. One main motivation as for why traditional retailers implement advanced technology is a changed consumer behavior and market. This puts a new kind of pressure on traditional retailers and stresses the importance of the customer experience. The customer experience and relationships can be strengthened by implementing advanced technology and are two important factors as to why retailers utilize advanced technology in store. Traditional retailers also use the implemented advanced technology as a marketing tool, in order to market themselves as innovative and meet the new market. In addition to this, there has been a change in communication between customer and store. Retailers can use the advanced technology in order to not only interact in a new way with their customers, but also communicate through various of their channels. This creates a smoother and more seamless experience for the customer, and connect offline with online.

This study aims to investigate how market size impacts the level of economic success, diversity, entertainment, arts, and experience of shopping centers in Sweden. More specifically the paper uses regression analyses to test the relation between different forms of shopping center performance and market size. The results show that the municipality market size plays an important role in all analyzed cases. The results also showed that local labor market size does not have a significant impact on the dependent variables.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to provide a better understanding of the relationships among quality, value, satisfaction, and loyalty when consumers choose to use technology-based retail formats such as online shopping. Three research objectives served to guide the development of an e-shopping loyalty model. The first objective was to investigate the extent to which the direct and indirect relationships among quality, value, satisfaction, and loyalty in technology-based retail environments parallel those that occur in traditional retail and service settings. The second research objective was to examine how the factors that predict quality-value perceptions for shopping online as compared to offline influence evaluations of e-shopping satisfaction and loyalty for an online merchant. The third objective was to investigate how a consumer's receptiveness to e-shopping technology influences evaluations of and loyalty to a merchant's website. There is a paucity of research regarding the interrelationships among these variables in technology-based consumption environments, therefore, the conceptual framework for the e-shopping model was drawn primarily from the relevant research in the retail and services literature. Data for the study was collected using a survey distributed by mail to the online apparel customers of a U.S. based company. The structural model employed to test the e-shopping loyalty model supported nine of the eleven hypothesized relationships. The links found in the causal model were reinterpreted as an Integrated Model of e-Shopping Loyalty. Findings suggest that online customer loyalty is less directly impacted by value-driven cognitions than by satisfactory shopping experiences. More specifically, perceptions of online shopping value impacted e-shopping loyalty only indirectly through the positive and direct effect of e-shopping satisfaction. Although cognitive assessments related to the merchandise offering played an important role in the evaluative process, shoppers' judgments of e-service quality were found to be more influential in affecting e-shopping loyalty. Additionally, shoppers appeared to be as concerned about the time and effort costs involved in online shopping as they were with the merchandise price. Finally, stronger feelings and beliefs about online shopping influenced consumers' evaluations of e-shopping primarily through their impact on perceptions of e-service quality.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this creative project is to create a new type of shopping environment that will constitute not only a shopping facility but a scenic attraction for the city as well. The Shopping Garden provides an image for the city in which it is located; it becomes a meeting place or center for various activities that improve the physical and social environment.One of the most important ideas is to add more natural elements, such as natural lighting, ventilation, and natural views into the shopping environment. The concept of "garden" takes the traditional Chinese garden as a reference point, with its philosophy of the relation between man and nature. The idea of divided green spaces and courtyards can be seen in the roof and terraces of the Shopping Garden.Functionally and conceptually, this project suggests how an urban type shopping center can compliment or enrich its urban context and how it could be developed.Department of Architecture

Climate change is one of the biggest issues that the world faces today, and one of the biggest contributors to climate change are groceries. This paper aims at using digital artefacts to create a product or design that will encourage the user to shop more environmentally friendly. To achieve this, I have tried to identify the major hindrances today that grocery shoppers are faced with through the user centered method Contextual Inquiry. I have then presented the results from the inquiry to students at KTH Royal Institute of Technology during workshops. During these workshops, the students have conceptualized ideas and designs for different solutions. Based on their results, I have created a prototype design that I call the SmartCart. This cart consists of a regular shopping cart with a screen similar to an iPad attached to the handlebars. This screen then delivers easily apprehensible information about different grocery products environmental impact in real time. The design has not been tested in a live environment, but initial testing indicates that a live application could give satisfying results in lowering the sales of grocery products with a high environmental impact, while the design also could simultaneously improve the shopping experience for the customers in the grocery store.

England, Angela. "CCTV, privacy and shopping." Thesis, Southampton Solent University, 2005. http://ssudl.solent.ac.uk/587/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis coinsiders the two areas of CCTV research, town centre statistical studies and public attitude surveys and how CCTV has through widespread introduction, impacted upon the concept of privacy. The concept of privacy taken by this thesis is wider that the legal definition and is most briefly but relevantly defined as the 'freedom from surveillance by closed circuit television.' Town centre studies aim to look at the effectiveness of CCTV as a method of crime control. Public attitude surveys aim to use quantitative research questionnaires to discover the opinions of CCTV users, to gauge CCTV's effect upon the fear of crime and to analyse the public's expectations and actual experiences of CCTV and to consider if the social benefit of CCTV over the threat to privacy is on balance, worth the loss in privacy. Town centre and public attitude studies are the only types of published research thus far conducted upon CCTV. Three innovative studies have attempted to disperse the view that CCTV had specific uses, benefits and limitations. These studies focused on CCTV as a benefit to retail consumerism, the attitudes of offenders and the opinions and practices of CCTV operators. This thesis considers whether the threat to privacy is greater when surveillance is operated by private security companies in quasi-public places. The thesis considers how the general public's desire to shop has increased the likelihood of their submitting to such quasi-public space surveillance in return for the benefits of consumption

The consumption society is expanding with stores and shopping malls which require that a store as well as a mall distinguish from the great mass. Today's consumption society is a difficult marketplace for companies to reach out to their consumers. In this master thesis it has been investigated how shopping malls can create competitive advantages in a saturated market. It has also been researched how the similarity of the stores in shopping malls affect the future development of the concept in itself. The research has been carried out through a qualitative research method and a case study of three different shopping malls in Stockholm, Sweden: Brunogallerian, Forum Nacka and Vällingby City. Four respondents have been interviewed from each shopping mall. The investigation has also been supplemented by a online consumer survey of 105 people. There has been used a theoretical framework based on relationship marketing, branding strategies, experience- and sensory marketing. Throughout the thesis it has consistently been used four fields of knowledge with the aim of facilitate the common thread throughout the thesis. The four fields are: Shopping malls on the Swedish market, Image and branding of shopping malls, Creating relationships with the consumers and Shopping as an experience. Furthermore, it has been presented the empirical results of the interviews and the consumer survey according to the previously mentioned fields. The result of the interviews and the theoretical findings has been analyzed and further on been discussed with the purpose of discover own theories and results. In conclusion, it has been stated that it is of great importance to offer the consumer added value and niche the profile and the retail mix of the shopping mall in a unique way. It is also essential to get to know its target group by creating events and activities that address the certain target. The similarity of the stores in the malls is profitable and the great mass of consumers demand for the large retail chains. In the future there can be a major development of more niche stores in the large shopping malls, with the aim of attract a broader as well as a more definite target group.Program: Magisterutbildning i fashion management med inriktning modemarknadsföring

Atualmente, os shoppings centers são referência na vida de grande parte da sociedade. Seus ambientes oferecem a segurança, beleza e tranquilidade perdidas nas tradicionais áreas públicas das cidades. O envelhecimento populacional em escala global soma mais de 12% dos brasileiros e torna fundamental a qualificação dos espaços coletivos. Pela reunião do comércio e serviços ao lazer em local acessível com independência de fatores climáticos e da violência urbana, os shoppings são importantes atrativos ao uso pelos idosos. Esta tese envolve a usabilidade dos espaços semipúblicos de shopping centers e seu fenômeno aborda a influência da usabilidade como fator de atratividade para as pessoas idosas, visando a construção de uma estrutura de atributos que demonstra este relacionamento a partir dos aspectos biopsicossociais deste grupo etário. A base filosófica estruturalista e a abordagem sistêmica possibilitaram a construção de um instrumento de pesquisa estruturado na compreensão interdisciplinar da usabilidade espacial, da atratividade dos shopping centers, e do processo de envelhecimento. A característica exploratória, o método é dedutivo-descritivo ea natureza qualitativa descrevem e organizam as características do espaço semipúblico do shopping centers no contexto situacional específico, originando as dimensões espaciais objetivas e subjetivas de usabilidade e atratividade. É de pouca amplitude e grande profundidade no estudo de categorias espaciais e de seus atributos, e os dados obtidos foram organizados e classificados para formar o instrumento de investigação submetido a especialistas nas áreas de Geriatria e Gerontologia, Ergonomia, Arquitetura e Administração de shopping centers. A avaliação dos dados utilizou a análise multivariada e o resultado demonstrou a consistência da maioria dos itens originando a estrutura de atributos que foi legitimada por especialistas em geriatria e arquitetura com idade superior a sessenta anos. Pode ser uma referência para estudantes, e profissionais arquitetos, engenheiros de produção, ergonomistas, engenheiros civis, designers, gerontologistas, psicologos, para empresários da indústria dos shopping centers, ou que se relacionem com a produção e/ou pesquisa sobre espaços comerciais, entre outros.
Abstract : Nowadays, shopping malls are reference in the life of most part of the society. Their environments offer the safety, beauty and peacefulness lost in the traditional public areas of the cities. The population ageing exists in a global scale; there are more than 12% of Brazilian people in this group. Qualifying collective spaces is essential. Shopping malls are important attractions for the use of elderly people due to the fact that services and goods are together in an accessible place, as well as to the detachment from climate factors and urban violence. It is questioned which usability components influence elderly users attractiveness to the semipublic spaces of the malls. As its theme, this thesis encompasses the study of the usability of these spaces and its phenomenon is related to this usability influence as a factor of attractiveness to elderly users. Structuralism is its philosophical basis, with a systemic approach, and it originates from the literature on the general comprehension of the phenomenon of spatial usability, of the attractiveness of shopping malls, of the ageing process and its biopsychosocial aspects, in order to understand specific relations, aiming to construct a theoretical structured instrument. The deductive and descriptive method is applied, and it has an exploratory qualitative nature, since it describes the characteristics of the semipublic space in the specific situational context of a shopping mall, relying on information obtained from the interdisciplinary theoretical study, creating objective and subjective spatial dimensions of usability and attractiveness, and their relevance for elderly people in these environments. It makes a profound study of spatial categories and their attributes, having little amplitude and great deepness on knowledge generation. Obtained, organized and classified data encompass the investigatory instrument, which was submitted to experts in Geriatrics and Gerontology, Ergonomics, Architecture and Mall Administration. Multivariate analysis is used in order to evaluate data, obtaining the structure of the attributes considering the relation between usability and attractiveness of the semipublic spaces of the shopping malls. Legitimated by experts in Geriatrics and Architecture, aging more than sixty, it might be a reference for students, architects, production engineers, ergonomists, civil engineers, designers, gerontologists, psychologists, businessmen from shopping mall companies, and others who deal with the production and/or research of commercial spaces,among others.

Advancement in technology has potential to significantly disrupt the grocery retail market in the U.S. by channeling sales from offline brick-and-mortar stores such as Walmart and Kroger to online e-retailers such as Amazon, Peapod, FreshDirect, and Instacart. Ecommerce grocery retailers have invested heavily in technology, warehouses, and transportation fleets. However, as of 2016, e-commerce grocery sales still only contributed approximately 3% of the total grocery retail sales in the U.S. This thesis first identifies and explains the obstacles to the expected growth of the e-commerce grocery market, and then introduces strategies for ameliorating these challenges and sustaining competitive advantage.

Full textAbstract:
La division du monde en États souverains favorise les stratégies des justiciables souhaitant bénéficier d’une législation conforme à leurs aspirations. Ces pratiques sont qualifiées de forum shopping et de law shopping. Les sujets de droit sont alors assimilés à des consommateurs, et le droit est alors réduit à un simple produit « commercialisé » par les différents ordres juridiques. Ces pratiques reposent sur la place grandissante accordée à la personne qui, compte tenu de la mondialisation, devient de plus en plus mobile. Les ordres juridiques nationaux sont alors placés en concurrence et encourent le risque de voir leurs législations les plus impératives évincées. En outre, le marché global de la justice favorise les manoeuvres les plus déloyales.Pour autant, ces pratiques ne font l’objet d’aucune réglementation spécifique. Le droit international privé doit donc trouver les remèdes permettant de contrôler l’exercice du forum shopping et du law shopping pour moraliser le contentieux international et préserver les intérêts étatiquesThe world division into sovereign states encourages persons answerable to the law to usestrategies as they seek to benefit from legislations consistent with their aspirations. These practices are called forum shopping and law shopping. Subjects of law are therefore compared to consumers when the law is reduced to a simple product « marketed » by different national legal orders. These practices take root in the ever growing space the subject of law is given, considering how much mobile they are becoming along with globalization. Consequently,national legal orders are competing against each other with the risk of seeing their most imperative legislation being ousted. Furthermore, world trade of justice fosters the most dishonest maneuvers. Meanwhile, these practices aren’t subjected to any specific regulation. Private international law must find the solutions that would allow control over exercising forum shopping and law shopping in order to reform international litigation and preserve state interests

Full textAbstract:
This research examines intermediate patterns of joint consumption whereby constellations, anti constellations and configurations are seen as representing patterns of consumption which lie between the traditional micro (product-centred) and macro (societal-centred) studies of consumption. A series of models are developed: of the relationship between individuals and consumption from a social psychological perspective of the formation of patterns of joint consumption and of the three forces which influence patterns of consumption: the symbolic-functional force (located in the product) the physiological-esteem-self-actualization force (located in individual needs) and the expressive-instrumental force (located in activities or behaviour). A two stage empirical study explores the content, structure and context of consumption patterns amongst mail order shoppers in the U.K. The quantitative stage involved the application of correspondence analysis to data extracted from the BMRBffGI database and the qualitative phase was a series of in-depth interviews with mail order industry marketing personnel. The findings confirmed the existence of three identifiable groups amongst mail order shoppers, with different intermediate patterns of joint consumption representing different sets of responses to the three forces which influence consumption and which had been modelled above. The research extends work on the grammar of consumption by developing a set of rules of combination for analyzing the structure and levels of joint consumption: constellations, anti constellations and configurations, which could be associated with the groups of mail order shoppers. The study concludes that products cohere around social roles and that interdependence exists at two levels, firstly, amongst the forces which influence consumption, and secondly, between consumption and the societal-cultural context. It was seen that functional and symbolic complementarities could be found in the intermediate patterns of joint consumption and that different combinatorial rules could be applied to the different levels of consumption patterns elicited for the various groups.

Buhrman, Tiffany. "Effects of Hedonic and Utilitarian Shopping Satisfaction on Mall Consumption." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2002. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3188/.
Full textAbstract:
The modern consumer expects a consumption experience with both hedonic and utilitarian rewards during a single visit to the mall. The orchestrating of both hedonic and utilitarian benefits in one visit challenges mall management and retailers to deliver the maximum shopping experience. This study seeks to reveal relationships among six variables: demographic characteristics, mall shopping orientation, mall perception, hedonic satisfaction, utilitarian satisfaction, and mall consumption. The intercept survey was conducted at a major entertainment-themed mall in north Texas. Multiple regression analyses (N = 202) indicate that demographic characteristics and mall shopping orientation were significant predictors of mall perception. Also, two mall perception factors (Sensation and Physical Environment) were predictors of hedonic and utilitarian mall shopping satisfaction. However, hedonic and utilitarian mall shopping satisfaction were found not to predict mall consumption in terms of cross-shopping, money spent, and time spent.

Full textAbstract:
Streets, the usual public spaces of cities, lose their popularities and users every passing day. The reason of this decline is the erroneous transport policies implemented in cities that increase the entrance of automobile into city centers and facilitate faster movement of automobiles at the expense of pedestrians. While pedestrians are marginalized in city centers, automobiles become the primary users of streets. The traffic, noise and air pollution that automobiles cause contribute to the decline of town centers and shopping streets lose their function as meeting places and public spaces. In addition, automobile oriented policies create car-dependent urban forms and cause sprawl towards the peripheries. Because of the newly developing dwelling areas on the peripheries and the increasingly inaccessible city centers, number of out-of-town shopping centers increase day by day to meet the daily needs. While shopping centers develop, there is now a new tendency to design them with streets, squares and bazaars, with a view to resemble and simulate street life in these shopping centers. This situation shows us that, users, who are the reason of existence of social spaces, actually need the atmosphere of streets.
In this study, while analyzing all these trends and factors, Tunali Hilmi Street, which is a once pedestrian-friendly street in Ankara, will be analyzed. The study has two main research tasks. First, it analyses Tunali Hilmi Street&rsquos potentials as a public space and street, through the development of a framework that incorporates the essential urban design theorems with a special focus on street design. Secondly, it carries out a questionnaire on shopping center users in Ankara, in order to assess their choices, preferences, and perceptions regarding shopping centers and Tunali Hilmi Street. Based on the findings of these two analyses, this thesis aims to propose planning and design strategies to improve Tunali Hilmi Street as a public space and to attract more users to it.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate consumer behavior toward online shopping in Haiti with the findings of factors that affect whether or not they purchase online. The study showed that there is some potential for e-commerce in Haiti. However, there are many challenges, including lack of infrastructure, the low availability of credit cards, low government initiations. The sample consisted of 188 Haitian students at university level that were approached by using the “snowball” technique. Every participant made a purchase online before he received the questionnaire, and they were all above eighteen. Different questions were asked to the participants that reflected the characteristics of shopping. First, they were asked to give their frequency of online shopping transactions using a four-point Likert scale. Second, a seven-point Likert scale was used to rate their opinions about trends affecting electronic commerce, companies’ marketing approaches. Third, participants were asked to evaluate their feelings about traditional and online shopping using a nine-point bipolar scale. Finally, the Six Dimensional Achievement Motivations Scale by Jackson, Ahmed, and Heapy (1976) were used that allowed the participants to describe themselves.
The results show that the participants still have a negative perception of online shopping compared to traditional shopping. Also, the study reveals that online shopping in Haiti is significantly affected by various Demographic factors like gender, income, and education. As opposed to demographics, the achievement dimensions were less related to online shopping behavior. The results show some limitations in terms of the time available to collect the data, the availability of the participants and their concerns about some questions. Also, generalization must be made carefully since the study is limited to Haitian students. The study has practical and managerial impacts, including the possible use by businesses, other researchers, and the Haitian government. The results of the study could be further used by researchers to conduct future studies in the same field.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Tech. (Graphic Design)) -- Central University of Technology, free State, 2010Good package design entails employing appropriate yet attractive graphic attributes such as colour, typography and images with which the consumer can engage. Even the name of a colour plays a considerable part in the success of a new product or brand. Consumers use graphic attributes to associate different products with different income groups, to infer the weight of products and even use it as an indicator of the perceived change in temperature resulting from the use of certain products. Consumers develop colour preferences based on associations they have formed through experience which are influenced by factors such as age, gender, culture and demographics. Colour may also affect consumers’ respond to a product and may even have an effect on their emotional state. In order for consumers to involve themselves with store brands more readily, packaging has to be updated constantly to keep packaging fresh and exciting. A shopping bag, transformed with graphic attributes into a designer shopping bag, can, just as good packaging often does, contribute to the art and science of selling a product or promoting a brand. Consumers prefer designer paper shopping bags with attractive appearances and showed a willingness to even pay for the paper bags. This study determined if consumers will actually purchase a designer paper shopping bag as opposed to just indicate a willingness to do so. Semistructured interviews with 100 subjects provived insight into consumers’ perception of the designer paper shopping bag sold at a store selling higher priced items. Designer paper shopping bags were offered to consumers for sale. Two retail stores in Bloemfontein, South Africa, participated in the study. Consumers could choose whether to buy a designer paper shopping bag or to make use of the plastic bags provided by each of the stores. Consumers prefered to rather purchase a designer paper shopping bag sold at a well-known store, selling branded, higher priced items than purchase one from a store that sells lower priced items of which the brand names are unknown to them. Consumers are more likely to pay for a designer paper shopping bag when the amount spent by them in store is relatively high. It is recommended to introduce new packaging items via marketing strategies such as “buy one get one free” and to not test a new packaging item during a recession as consumers then tend to spend less than usual. Interviewees agree that the colour scheme of the designer paper shopping bag used in the study associate well with the clothes and accessories sold in the store. Subjects suggested a few general ideas, but agree that the illustrations used on the paper shopping bag are appropriate. The majority of the interviewees state that they can read all the typography easily and that they will feel confident when carrying the designer paper shopping bag.

“It must be kept in mind that architects do not design malls for architects; they design them for developers and retailers that are interested in creating malls and other shopping centres to attract consumers and keep them coming back.”(Richards, 1990)
Concept of shopping centre (SC) originally emerged in nineteenth-century and the concept changes over time due to the ever-changing needs and perception from the customers. Shopping centre originated from an isolated and scattered of shops and developed into nowadays large commercial retail properties. They do not only provide leisure and entertainment for the public, but also a place of where provide business opportunity for investment and profit-making for the retailers and developers. However, any single property will be decayed and deteriorated over time. In order to upkeep the standard of the shopping centres, rehabilitation or renovation work has to be carried out in order to upgrade the appearance, facilities and equipment of shopping centres so as to maintain their attractiveness and competitive and keep customers coming back.
The research topic concentrates on the renovation projects carried out by The Link Real Estate Investment Trust (The Link REIT) inside public housing estates commercial properties after the privatization in 25 November 2005. After the privatization, renovation work of shopping centres becomes one of the main tasks of The Link REIT. Despite series of political pressure and criticism towards the management of The Link regarding their renovation work and rental policies, The Link REIT continues to expand their renovation projects to various public housing estates shopping centre. It provides a useful and interesting case to study the purpose of renovation on shopping centre.
The privatization is a divestment exercise of the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA), over 180 retails and car park properties were sold to The Link. After seven years of operation, 25 shopping centres are completed with different scope of renovation work, while others are in various planning stages. Base on the shopping centre hierarchy definite by The Link REIT, 3 details case studies will be carried out. The studies compare the data and changes before and after the renovation work, analysis will be made to compare the operating result during HKHA era so as to examine whether The Link could achieve the purpose of their renovation projects.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
E-commerce in general, and online shopping in particular, are becoming popular ways of utilizing the Internet throughout the world. Social media is also becoming a widespread tool, not only for interaction with others but also for marketing. Despite this trend, there is a dearth of knowledge about the acceptance of online shopping and the use of social media in developing countries such as Saudi Arabia. Technology adoption levels in Saudi Arabia are growing rapidly but have yet to reach their full potential. One of the leading theories explaining online shopping behaviour – the online shopping acceptance model (OSAM) – has not been employed in previous studies of social media use or in developing countries such as Saudi Arabia to understand online shopping. To address this research problem, the researcher implemented a study using a positivist approach. Quantitative data was gathered using an online survey. This survey was conducted with Saudi residents who engage with online shopping. A data set of 423 completed survey responses is used in this thesis for statistical analysis. The data was collected using a random sample and was collected from January to September 2015. The structural equation modelling tested the hypothesised relationships between the constructs as postulated in the model. Nineteen of the hypothesised links were supported and ten were rejected. Eventually, the model that has statistical and explanatory power was confirmed. The findings indicate a positive relationship between online shopping intention and other factors of online shopping acceptance in Saudi Arabia. A positive relationship is also seen between online shopping orientation and online shopping experience. The case examines the relationship between online shopping orientation and online shopping motivation. The same applies for the relationship between online shopping and social media through the mediation of online shopping intention. This research contributes to understanding the role of social media in OSAM in Saudi Arabia as a developing country, as OSAM incorporates social media as a new factor that influences acceptance aside from what is traditionally stipulated. A second contribution is the finding that shopping orientation is the most important construct affecting online shopping intention in Saudi Arabia.

Através de uma amostra de 13.359 empresas portuguesas, para o período de 2011 a 2013, verificou-se que a emissão de uma opinião com ênfases ou uma opinião com reservas está positivamente associada à alteração de auditor. No caso do relatório de auditoria conter em simultâneo reservas e ênfases encontrou-se uma relação negativa com a medida de mudança de auditor. Os resultados mostram ainda haver uma associação negativa entre a mudança de auditor e a existência de um conselho fiscal, bem como uma associação positiva com a presença de mulheres no board. Adicionalmente, verificou-se que a presença de mulheres no board tem influência sobre alguns tipos de opinião de auditoria.
This study analyzes whether the audit opinion effects the decision of whether or not companies change auditor. Through a sample of 13,359 portuguese companies, for the period 2011 to 2013, the issuance of an opinion with emphases or a qualified opinion was found to be positively associated with the change of auditor. In the case that the audit report contained a qualified opinion with emphasis, this gave a negative relationship with the change of auditor measure. The results show that there is still a negative association between the change of auditor and the existence of an audit committee, as well as a positive association with the presence of women on the board. Additionally, the presence of women on the board was found to have an influence on some types of audit opinion.

Os shopping centers são edifícios complexos que reúnem diferentes atividades (lazer, serviços, compras, alimentação, etc.) buscando atender as necessidades da maior diversidade possível de usuários. Ao mesmo tempo que procuram atender as necessidades de seus usuários deveriam promover condições adequadas de acessibilidade. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar as condições de acessibilidade espacial - orientação, deslocamento, uso e participação de atividades - em um shopping center, considerando a diversidade de usuários e a influência dos elementos ambientais presentes. A partir da revisão de fontes bibliográficas foram estudados os diferentes tipos de deficiência, as necessidades específicas em termos de soluções espaciais para as diferentes restrições dos usuários, bem como o processo de orientação espacial. Buscando investigar a relação entre os elementos ambientais e as condições de acessibilidade, optou-se pela realização de um estudo de caso no Shopping Itaguaçu, em São José/SC. Os diferentes métodos utilizados no estudo de caso - observações, entrevistas e passeios acompanhados - auxiliaram a identificar os problemas de acessibilidade encontrados pela maioria dos usuários, sejam portadores de deficiências ou não. Pode-se concluir que, no Shopping Itaguaçu, a maioria dos usuários apresenta algum tipo de limitação em relação à acessibilidade espacial, sendo mais evidente no que diz respeito a orientação espacial. No entanto, estas limitações devem ser entendidas como deficiências do ambiente e não falta de habilidade dos usuários que o freqüentam. Nas conclusões ressalta-se, ainda, que arquitetos e engenheiros antes de elaborarem projetos de shopping centers, deveriam procurar entender o processo de orientação espacial como fator condicionante para novos projetos. Para tal fim acredita-se no importante papel da Ergonomia Ambiental na formação de bons profissionais.

This novel is about Jess, a left wing trade unionist and student lawyer who, caught up in a fast-paced Sydney inner city life, goes to a hypnotist in an effort to drink less and instead has an experience of God. Her conscious self cannot cope with this and she represses it, but it still exists in a deeper part of her and the novel tracks the path by which she finally hauls and hacks her way back to it. The novel is divided into four parts, David, Jane, Padma and Jess. The first three parts tell of her emotionally dependencies on other people, and in the last section she finally finds a kind of hard-won peace and self-acceptance, and a love of God that is rooted in the small joys of her daily life.

A presente dissertação intitulada “E-Shopping/ In-Store Shopping Experience and Shopping Motives: O consumidor de moda de luxo” tem como propósito explorar a experiência de shopping e os motivos do consumidor no shopping de moda de luxo, consoante a escolha do ponto de venda. Numa primeira fase, as marcas de moda de luxo destacaram-se pela sua presença em loja física. Porém, com a multiplicidade de plataformas de eletronic commerce, algumas luxury brands repensaram o seu posicionamento de venda e deram continuidade ao seu negócio no meio digital. A diferenciação do ponto de venda está associada a experiências de shopping distintas, bem como a motivos específicos do consumidor. Na secção metodológica, realizou-se um estudo não experimental correlacional entre as variáveis dependentes definidas nesta investigação, sendo que o inquérito por questionário (Qualtrics) foi o instrumento utilizado para a recolha de dados. O software estatístico SPSS foi a ferramenta escolhida para analisar e correlacionar os dados recolhidos. Como recurso a este estudo, a Farfetch foi identificada como a best practice no ramo do luxo online e a plataforma mais adequada para filtrar o target desta investigação. A primeira hipótese de investigação “A adesão às novas tendências da moda de luxo influencia positivamente o consumo de marcas de luxo.” não foi confirmada, bem como a hipótese “Há uma associação positiva entre os benefícios da experiência de shopping in-store e os benefícios da experiência de shopping online.” Porém, confirmou-se a hipótese de investigação “Há uma associação positiva entre os motivos dos consumidores de produtos de moda de luxo online e os motivos dos consumidores de produtos de moda de luxo in-store.”The present dissertation titled “E-Shopping / In-Store Shopping Experience and Shopping Motives: The luxury fashion consumer” aims to explore the shopping experience and consumer motives in the luxury fashion shopping, depending on the choice of the sale. In the first stage, the luxury fashion brands stood out for their presence in a physical store. However, with the multiplicity of electronic commerce platforms, some luxury brands rethought their sales position and continued their business in the digital environment. Point of sale differentiation is associated with different shopping experiences, as well as specific consumer motivations. In the methodological section, a correlational non-experimental study was carried out between the dependent variables defined in this investigation, and the questionnaire survey (Qualtrics) was the instrument used to collect data and its respective representative sample of the population. The SPSS statistical software was the tool chosen to analyze the collected data. As a resource to this study, Farfetch was identified as the best practice in the online luxury business and the most appropriate platform to filter target’s investigation. The first research hypothesis "Adherence to new trends in luxury fashion positively influences the consumption of luxury brands." has not been confirmed, as well as the hypothesis "There is a positive association between the benefits of the in-store shopping experience and the benefits of the online shopping experience." However, the research hypothesis is confirmed "There is a positive association between the motives of consumers of luxury fashion products online and the motives of consumers of luxury fashion products in store."
