Application of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Consumer Behavioral Intention towards Online Shopping

Online shopping isasasas buying products or services via the internet using a computer or mobile platform. It provides a different policy and environment to both consumers and suppliers for having business activities in a digital environment than a traditional way. Some countries are highly adopted and utilizing online shopping for their day to day operations. There are some differences among countries in consumers’ buying behavior toward online shopping, which may be the reason for comfortability and reliability about the procedure and policies of digital environments. Online shopping is one of the convenient and best solutions for the busy life of today’s world. This study aims to identify those options for why users select online shopping rather than traditional shopping. The research model explained and predicted the behavioral intention and attitude towards online shopping. The convenient sampling method was used to select the sample units, and the Snowball sampling method was used to identify online shopping users. The questionnaire consists of two main sections. The first section analyzes the demographic factors related to online shopping. The second section included TAM variables. among the participants, 35(56%) were males, and 27(44%) females. The majority of 31(50%) of the online shopping users were between 25 to 30 years, and the rest (6%) were above 40 years. As expected, the experience of online shopping almost 34% of the respondents have less than ten years. Whereas the rest differ in their online shopping experience, those who used online shopping for 1-3 years stood at 31%. Moreover, 24% of the respondents have 3-5 years’ experience. Only a few respondents have more than five years’ experience. It stood for 11%. This study revealed that users comprehensively supported online shopping behavior except for four hypotheses. Thus, it could be concluded that people prefer online shopping because of their knowledge, usefulness, and attitude towards online shopping. The relation between attitude and behavioral intention is strongly positive and significant.

Enhancing shopping experiences in smart retailing.

The retailing market has undergone a paradigm-shift in the last decades, departing from its traditional form of shopping in brick-and-mortar stores towards online shopping and the establishment of shopping malls. As a result, “small” independent retailers operating in urban environments have suffered a substantial reduction of their turnover. This situation could be presumably reversed if retailers were to establish business “alliances” targeting economies of scale and engage themselves in providing innovative digital services. The SMARTBUY ecosystem realizes the concept of a “distributed shopping mall”, which allows retailers to join forces and unite in a large commercial coalition that generates added value for both retailers and customers. Along this line, the SMARTBUY ecosystem offers several novel features: (i) inventory management of centralized products and services, (ii) geo-located marketing of products and services, (iii) location-based search for products offered by neighboring retailers, and (iv) personalized recommendations for purchasing products derived by an innovative recommendation system. SMARTBUY materializes a blended retailing paradigm which combines the benefits of online shopping with the attractiveness of traditional shopping in brick-and-mortar stores. This article provides an overview of the main architectural components and functional aspects of the SMARTBUY ecosystem. Then, it reports the main findings derived from a 12 months-long pilot execution of SMARTBUY across four European cities and discusses the key technology acceptance factors when deploying alike business alliances.

Welfare Costs of Traditional Shopping

Using data on the number of visitors at the store level, this paper investigates the welfare costs of traditional shopping-trips for the U.S. census blocks. The investigation is based on an economic model, where individuals living in census blocks decide on which store to shop from based on the corresponding shopping-trip costs and idiosyncratic benefits. The implications of the model suggest that the welfare gains from removing shopping-trip costs in percentage terms can be measured for each census block as the weighted average of log distance measures between shopping stores and census blocks. The corresponding results show that the welfare gains from removing shopping-trip costs is about 4% for the average census block, with a range between 0.021% and 18% across census blocks that is further connected to their demographic or socioeconomic characteristics. Certain practical policy implications follow regarding how shopping-trip costs can be reduced to achieve higher welfare gains.

Online Purchase Behavior of Somali Consumers

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate the online buying behavior of Somali consumers Specifically, it has aimed to 1) identify the magnitude of online shopping adoption of Somali consumers; 2) investigate the factors that affect online buying behavior of Somalia consumers. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative research approach was adopted in this study and total of 300 questionnaire samples have been distributed to the respondents. The relationship and data reliability of the influencing factors are significantly reliable and has significant relationships which justify the study hypothesis. Findings – The findings of the study indicated that 88% of the respondents have used the internet for more than 5 years. This shows that Somali consumers use the internet intensively. Results showed that clothing and accessories (41.3%), food and drink (36.0%), computer products and software (12.7%), were the commodities respondents usually bought online. Another interesting result was found when respondent were asked about the frequency of online shopping. It was found that 48.7% of the respondents indicated that “sometimes” they used the internet for shopping purpose. While 43.7% of the respondents indicated that they rarely or never used the internet for shopping purpose. About 7.6% of the respondents use ‘’often’’ the internet for shopping purpose. Among factors influencing online buying behavior of the consumers, convenience was ranked with highest mean value of (4.13), followed by reputation , Perceived ease of use, while trust ranked with lowest mean value of (Mean= 3.493). Discussion – The findings of the study indicated that Trust is ranked with lowest mean value of (Mean= 3.493) which means that Somali consumers do not feel safe on doing online shopping. They do not feel comfortable while shopping online. The results also shows that convenience was ranked with highest mean value of (4.13), which means that Somali students see online shopping is more convenient than traditional shopping.

MINIMARKETS EXISTENCE ON SALES TURNOVER OF THE TRADITIONAL SHOPS

This paper summarizes the results of a study that explains the impact of minimarkets existence on the sales turnover of traditional shops in Ciledug Subdistrict, Cirebon Regency in 2017, West Java, Indonesia. Through a statistical method - called the difference test - the existence of minimarkets in Ciledug Subdistrict has significantly reduced the sales turnover and reduced the number of buyers of the traditional shops, on the other hand the number of working hours of traditional shops has increased. This study also uses the regression model to explain the effect of the number of buyers, traditional shops’ working hours, and the distance between traditional shops to the nearest minimarkets on the sales turnover of traditional shops. This study shows that all independent variables simultaneously significant affected on the sales turnover of traditional shops. Partially, the number of buyers and the distances between traditional shops to the nearest minimarkets significantly influence the sales turnover of traditional shops, but the working hours of the traditional shops does not has a significant effect.

The urban rent in the multicultural city: retail shops, migrants and urban decline in the historic centre of Palermo [La rendita urbana nella città multiculturale: attività commerciali, migranti e declino urbano nel centro storico di Palermo

Changes in consumer shopping behavior and in retail spaces, such as shopping malls, department stores and e-commerce, have modified localization models of traditional retail shops, also affecting urban fabric and spatial distribution of urban rent. Even city centers have undergone significant transformations or even decline, especially if local economic system and real estate market are weak and recessionary. A significant amount of commercial properties may have long vacancy due to excess supply, since many traditional shops close their business because they are no longer competitive and, moreover, there is no immediate takeover by new tenants. The decline of central urban areas depends on the interaction of multiple economic, social and cultural factors, but it can be countered by urban policies oriented not only to physical redevelopment of urban fabric, but also to social cohesion and multiculturalism. Migrants bearers of varied cultural values, coming from different continents and settling permanently in the Italian cities, have rented some of these empty properties by locating retail shops specifically oriented to their own communities or also to the citizens needs. The presence of migrants contributes, indeed, to support the retail real estate demand, to mitigate the minus-valorization of real estate capital and also to contain the revenues contraction. This phenomenon has been analyzed in some streets of the historic centre of Palermo that are traditionally shopping areas and have become the privileged place for locating retail shops managed by immigrants.

Mexican households' food shopping patterns in 2015: analysis following nonessential food and sugary beverage taxes.

To examine patterns of taxed and untaxed food and beverage shopping across store types after Mexico's sugary drink and non-essential food taxes, the nutritional quality of these patterns and the socio-economic characteristics associated with them. We performed k-means cluster analyses using households' percentage of food and beverage purchases from each store type (i.e. convenience stores, traditional shops (e.g. bodegas, tiendas, mom-and-pop shops), supermarkets, wholesalers and others). We calculated adjusted mean proportions of taxed and untaxed products (ml or g/capita per d) purchased in each pattern. We studied the associations between households' SES and shopping patterns using multinomial logistic regressions. Within shopping patterns, we obtained mean volumes and proportions of taxed and untaxed food and beverage subgroups and calculated the proportion of products purchased at each store type. Mexico. Urban Mexican households (n 5493) from the Nielsen Mexico Consumer Panel Survey 2015. We found four beverage shopping patterns and three food shopping patterns, driven by the store type where most purchases were made. For beverages, 48 % of households were clustered in the Traditional pattern and purchased the highest proportion of taxed beverages. Low-SES households had the highest probability of clustering in the Traditional beverage shopping pattern. For foods, 35 % of households were clustered into the Supermarket pattern. High-SES households had the highest probability of clustering in the Supermarket food shopping pattern. The combination of store types where Mexican households purchase packaged foods and beverages varies. However, households in all shopping patterns and SES purchase taxed beverages mainly at traditional stores. Store-level strategies should be developed to intervene on traditional stores to improve the healthfulness of purchases.

Analysis of the ROPO Effect amongst Men in the Clothing Industry in Poland

The aim of the article is to present and analyse the results of research on the extent of the ROPO effect (Research Online, Purchase Offline) amongst men in the clothing industry in Poland. This effect is an important factor limiting the development of the e-commerce sector. The selection of men as an investigated population is determined by the literature gap in the clothing industry. This industry is dominated by women in Poland, who much more often than men purchase this type of product. However, company managers should also take into consideration the habits and attitudes of men. In this study, research was done on a sample of 1303 males who purchased a clothing product in a traditional shop. Analysis of research results allowed the identification of the scale of the ROPO effect in dependence on the age and place of residence of the respondents. An additional aspect investigated was also the subjective assessment of the respondents of selected elements of the purchasing process.

Leg massage during pregnancy with unrecognized deep vein thrombosis could be life threatening: a case report

BackgroundTraditional massage seems to be safe but not entirely risk free, though serious adverse events are very rare. This report is aimed at illustrating a rare but fatal presentation of massive pulmonary embolism caused by leg massage and also to encourage both massage providers and pregnant women to be aware of undetected or subtle deep vein thrombosis, which could be a life threatening condition as a consequence of leg massage.Case presentationA 25-year-old primigravid Thai woman underwent massage at a traditional massage shop at 25th week of gestation. Shortly after leg and foot massage, she had a sudden onset of dyspnea, followed by consciousness alteration, brief spastic-like convulsion, became unconscious and suffered a cardiac arrest. Basic life support (BLS) at the event scene as well as during transfer and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) at the hospital were provided, resulting in successful resuscitation but persistent coma. Bedside echocardiography showed poor contractility of the dilated right ventricle, and pulmonary embolism was suspected. CT angiography (CTA) revealed multiple concentric intraluminal filling defects within the right and left pulmonary arteries, indicating massive pulmonary embolism. The fetus died in utero and spontaneous labor and vaginal delivery occurred.ConclusionLeg massage in patients with deep vein thrombosis can dislodge thrombi, leading to life threatening pulmonary embolism, and should be contraindicated. Since pregnant women are at a higher risk of undetected or subtle thromboembolism, traditional massage in pregnant women should be contraindicated unless they are proven to have no such risk.

Digitalizáció hatása a hazai kereskedelmi stratégiákra

Tanulmányunk célja, hogy feltérképezzük a digitális tér illeszkedését napjaink és a jövő kereskedelmébe és meghatározzuk a digitalizáció hatását a hazai kereskedelmi stratégiákra. A fogyasztók információszerzési és vásárlási szokásai drámaian megváltoztak. A ma fogyasztója számára elsősorban a kényelem, a hatékonyság (a termékhez való gyors, kényelmes hozzáférés a megfelelő ár-érték arányban) és az élmény jelentik azokat a kulcstényezőket, melyek alapján döntését meghozza. A kereskedők igazodva ezekhez újszerű kereskedelmi stratégiákat alakítottak ki, melyeknek szerves része a digitalizáció vívmányainak felhasználása. Ennek egyik vetülete az e-kereskedelem egyre erőteljesebb globális fejlődése. A hazai online kereskedelem is évről évre jelentősen bővül. 2018. évi adatok alapján a belföldi és külföldi online értékesítés volumene meghaladta az 1000 milliárd forintot. A hazai online fogyasztók egyre gyakrabban és egyre nagyobb értékben vásárolnak az interneten. Az online bevásárlás virtuális valóság platformokon való megvalósulása pedig élményszerűbbé teheti ezt a vásárlási módot. A webshopoknak újabb fogyasztói igényeknek kell megfelelni és a megrendelt árut mielőbb, lehetőleg 24 órán belül kiszállítani. A csomagok kézbesítésének számos változata kezd egyre népszerűbbé válni (pl. csomagautomaták, pick pack pontok). A hagyományos csatornákat sem szabad azonban eltemetni. Óriási előnyük, hogy a vásárló több érzékszerven keresztül válogathat a termékek között és az impulzusvásárlásnak is nagyobb teret enged. Ezt a kor követelményeinek megfelelő digitális technológiával kombinálva teljes körű vásárlási élmény nyújtható. Felismerve ezt az igényt az online és hagyományos csatornák manapság sok esetben már keverednek (pl. multichannel, omnichannel, crosschannel) és rengeteg lehetőséget nyújtanak a fogyasztóknak a vásárlási folyamat során. A vásárlók kényelmét szolgálja a hagyományos üzletek eladóterének optimalizálása és a vásárlói útvonalak digitális technológiákkal (pl. digitális polccímke) való támogatása is. Az újabb innovációk a vásárlási folyamat automatizációját vonják maguk után és szenzorok (pl. Amazon Go) vagy robotok (pl. Pepper) segítségével teszik kényelmesebbé és személyre szabottabbá a vásárlási folyamatot. A digitális személyi asszisztensek az eladószemélyzet digitális változataként fognak feltűnni a jövőbeli vásárlásaink során.

ISSUES IN VARIOUS RECOMMENDER SYSTEM IN E-COMMERCE – A SURVEY

The replacement of traditional shopping fashion by the various modes of online shopping in real-time. Because of traditional shopping, most of them are getting into real feel about the product whichever they buy. The product features will be manually realized by the consumers whereas in online shopping all the consumers believe the descriptive summary of the products and the various factors based on the sold historical data. Now a day’s modern shopping method is moving gradually towards hitting more number of customers. Here recommendation system playing a vital role in suggesting the product by considering the earlier records and increasing the demand. Many of the consumers are attracted by factors like deals on an item, rating, review, and cost of the product. Through these factors, most of the consumers are attracted to taking online shopping instead of traditional shopping methods. For suggesting the products to consumers, many kinds of recommendation algorithms are applied using machine learning and deep learning technology to train the system automatically by observing the customer behavior patterns. But the believing factors of the product will be forged some time; in such cases, consumers are not satisfied with their expectations. The overall survey of this paper will address the research gap and opportunities with the recommendation system.

Segmentation of Traditional Market Shoppers Based on Store Image in Bandung, Indonesia

Traditional Market is not only a place to sell and buy, it also a platform that support SMEs and has an important role in the regional economy. In addition to having an economic value, traditional markets in Bandung is also one of the hereditary cultures that have to be preserved. Unfortunately the condition of most traditional markets in Bandung is considered not feasible. The store image that traditional market is a dirty place, slum, smell and other bad things have been attached to most of the traditional markets in Bandung. To minimize this, the government decide to is execute traditional market revitalization to change the traditional market get a better image in shoppers mind. In other words, this revitaliasai want to make the traditional market image to be as god as possible. To get the target, segmentation needs to be done in order to know the profile of each group of traditional market shoppers. So govermance can make more efffective and appropriate policy to the target market. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 400 traditional market shoppers. The results of the primary data from the questionnaire were processed using two-step cluster analysis with SPSS 20.0 Based on the ressult, researcher found two major segments among the total respondents. The first segment is apathetic shoppers, those who rarely visit the market and have a more negative perception toward traditional markets. And the second segment is enthusiast shopper, those who more often visit traditional markets and provide more positive percepstion toward traditional markets.

Ant Colonized and Taguchi Parallel Scheduliing with Sequence Independent Setup Time

The Job Shop Parallel Machine Scheduling (JSPMS) is a hybrid production system, and hence has received significant attention in the past few years. The JSPMS problem is a rationalization of the traditional job shop scheduling problem in computer science and operation research that permits to process operations on single machine out of a set of possible parallel machines. To maximize the job completion rate and minimize job completion time, a hybrid production system is necessary. With this objective, a novel meta-heuristic method is designed. This paper develops a scheduling method called, Ant Colonized and Taguchi Parallel Operation Scheduling (ACTPOS), for JSPMS, aimed to minimize job completion time and maximize job completion rate. The design of AC-TPOS method involves two different models, namely, Ant Colonized Parallel Machine Selection (ACPMS) model and Taguchi Parallel Operation Scheduling (TPOS) model. In ACPMS model, optimal selection of machine is done via operation being processed by parallel machines using local pheromone updating rule concentrating on the makespan time. In addition, the processing time and sequence-independent setup time are considered. Next, in TPOS model, optimal scheduling of operation is performed using Taguchi method concentrating on the makespan rate. Finally, the test results first show that our algorithm outperforms existing methods in terms of job completion rate, job completion time and computational complexity involved in scheduling operations.

Comparative Greenhouse Gas Footprinting of Online versus Traditional Shopping for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods: A Stochastic Approach.

Variability in consumer practices and choices is typically not addressed in comparisons of environmental impacts of traditional shopping and e-commerce. Here, we developed a stochastic model to quantify the variability in the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprints of product distribution and purchase of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) via three prevalent retail channels in the United Kingdom (U.K.). We found that shopping via bricks and clicks (click and fulfillment via physical store delivery) most likely decreases the GHG footprints when substituting traditional shopping, while FMCGs purchased through pure players with parcel delivery often have higher GHG footprints compared to those purchased via traditional retail. The number of items purchased and the last-mile travel distance are the dominant contributors to the variability in the GHG footprints of all three retail channels. We further showed that substituting delivery vans with electric cargo bikes can lead to a GHG emission reduction of 26% via parcel delivery. Finally, we showed the differences in the “last mile” GHG footprint of traditional shopping in the U.K. compared to three other countries (China, Netherlands, and the United States), which are primarily caused by the different shares of modes of transport (walking and by car, bus, and bike).

Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Penggunaan Aplikasi Belanja Online Pada Masyarakat Indonesia(Studi Empiris Pada E-Commerce Indonesia)

Being the ongoing fad for enterprises to manage business, mobile shopping offers superior dominance over electronic shopping and traditional shopping. This paper aims to elaborate both the motive of mobile shopping response according to the theory of reasoned action (TRA) point of view and the promotion barriers in mobile business. A selfconducted survey data of 325 Indonesian consumers is led to build and apply a structural equation modeling approach with inherent constructs. Through the result of this study, the predictive power of TRA has been proven in scouting consumer response in the context of mobile shopping. In addition, the intention to adopt mobile shopping is strongly impacted by both promotion and barrier variables. Some benefits could emerge for future studies from investigating other variables (e.g. trust and risk specific aspects) and using ongoing response (e.g. online purchase). Both promotion and barrier factors should be kept under surveillance by business managers for better understanding about why and how Indonesians adopt mobile shopping. The founding study attune the TRA model with augmented promotion and barrier variables to describe mobile shopping in the context of Indonesia.

Online Versus Traditional Shopping in Developing Countries Study Case - Kosovo

The aim of this study is to analyse the behaviour of consumers in developing countries with a particular emphasis on traditional shopping versus online shopping in Kosovo. Specifically it is recognized that online shopping replaces traditional shopping in all developed countries but it is worth noting that countries with emerging economies cannot yet claim to replace traditional shopping as a cause of civil awareness, technology awareness, online payments, etc. In this study we used the primary data to achieve the main purpose. The primary data were provided through the online questionnaire in a random sample of 300 respondents. The data were calculated using IBM SPSS concluding in the analyses such as descriptive statistics, frequencies, linear regression, Pearson Chi - Square Test and Pearson correlation. The paper comes with some key conclusions that online shopping in Kosovo is affected by the employment status and education and is not influenced by age and gender. Also we came in conclusion that the respondents prefer online shopping for one main reason – time loss reduction.
