Purpose - Transparency, seller reputation, and website security are considered to be important factors that influence online customer purchasing decisions in China. This paper empirically examines the relative influence of Taobao.com on customers' online purchasing decisions. Research design, data, and methodology - We perform structural equation analysis, with a sample of 306 observations. The data comes from consumers' real transaction experiences from a specific website. This gives the results of our study more generalizability than studies using subjects who are not asked to engage in real transactions. Results - The results of this study reveal that perceived security and perceived reputation are critical factors affecting consumer trust and perceived transparency is most closely associated with purchase intention. Conclusions - The findings suggest that perceived transparency plays a significant role in increasing online consumer's purchase intention. The knowledge of the relative impacts of these factors and their roles in the customer transaction experience will be useful in developing customized sales strategies. The results of this study reveal that perceived transparency exerts a stronger effect than perceived reputation on consumer purchase intentions.

Real estate markets play an essential role in the economic development of both developed and developing countries. Investment decisions in private real estate demand the consideration of several qualitative and quantitative criteria. Especially in Vietnam, demand for housing, apartments are rising which has resulted because of the migration from rural to urban areas. This study aims to determine the influencing factors of the real estate purchasing behavior and then recommend a grey Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) support model to evaluate real estate alternatives based on a numerical example in Vietnam. A set of essential criteria are identified based on experts' opinion, and the proposed determinants are initial investment, maintenance cost, prestige location, distance to interesting places, parking lot, public transportation, property condition, total area size, number of rooms, and neighbors. The subjective weights were obtained by using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) model, and the Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) technique is employed to prioritize and rank real estate alternatives. The results reveal that this approach can be useful to make purchasing decisions for many kinds of real estate property under uncertain business environments. These findings indicate that the presented hybrid model has advantages in granting flexibility to the preferences of decision makers.

This study aims to analyze the changes in purchasing decisions in conducting transactions using cash and digital payment systems. Cash payment systems are very different from digital payments because they no longer use banks as intermediaries for transactions. The scope of this study is to determine the differences that take place with purchasing decisions using digital payment systems with OVO Indonesia smart applications. By using the paired T-test sample test method and testing the regression class assumptions, it is expected we will document the comparison between cash and digital payment systems as regards changes in consumers' buying interest behavior towards goods. Data is obtained by purposive sampling using special characteristics for smart application users. The results show that digital payments are developing very quickly, but cash payments still dominate due to the unavailability of complete facilities and infrastructure to support digital payment systems other than in cities. This study illustrates that digital payments have not been able to completely change consumer buying behavior in large numbers, but the main finding in this study is an increase in the percentage of digital payment usage to the online market, due to the many conveniences provided in OVO smart applications.

Tour products have been recognized as a perishable asset. For tour operation companies (TOCs), improving profitability is a core decision problem for their business. Since package tour products, typical products of TOCs, are perishable after the tour was departed, TOCs have been tried to increase their sales before the departure date with various marketing strategies including price discounts. The pricing problem for perishable assets have been studied in Revenue Management for a long time. However, it is hard to find a research on pricing decisions for tour products. In this paper, we focus on a pricing problem for tour products. In particular, we will consider the pricing scheme with customer preference values on purchasing conditions. With conjoint analysis, we can use the part-worth value as a preference value for each level of purchasing conditions. To construct various discount prices, we use an enumeration method and suggest a mathematical optimization model. With experimental analysis for a sample tour package, we will show that our pricing process is very helpful for designing customer-oriented pricing decision.

This study examined the MZ Generation Consumers' perception and needs of HMR (Home Meal Replacement) using local food. The paper provides basic data for deriving a plan to promote local food consumption and reports the implications for various development and distribution strategies regarding HMR using local food. In this study, a quantitative survey was conducted targeting 600 consumers to examine the general consumption status of HMR using local food by MZ consumers. In addition, a qualitative survey was conducted targeting 21 people to derive the specific perceptions and unmet needs of MZ consumers. These results showed that MZ consumers require healthy and fresh HMR but have low awareness of HMR using local food. Therefore, it is necessary to deliver sufficient information and promote it. In particular, MZ consumers have high expectations for 'healthy and safe' food when purchasing HMR using local food, which plays an important role in purchasing decisions. They also valued 'convenience', which means 'simple cooking', 'subdivision packaging', and 'accessibility of purchasing channels', as important when purchasing HMR using local food. Lastly, MZ consumers positively evaluated the values of 'healthy eating' and 'revitalization of the local economy' through local food.

최근 정보기술의 발달로 인해 소비자들은 온라인상에서 많은 정보를 쉽고 빠르게 획득할 수 있다. 소비자가 제품 구매시에는 소비자들이나 전문가들이 작성한 제품 후기 정보를 주로 탐색한다. 기존의 연구들이 소비자들이 창출한 제품 후기 중심으로 주로 진행되어 왔기 때문에, 전문가 제품 후기의 영향력에 대해서는 상대적으로 소수의 연구들만 존재하고 있다. 본 연구는 전문가가 생성하는 제품 후기에 초점을 맞추어, 방대한 실제 비정형데이터인 전문가의 후기를 어떻게 언어학적인 차원과 심리학적인 차원으로 나눌 수 있는지의 방법론을 제안하며, 실제 전문가 제품 후기를 사용하여 의미 있는 다섯 가지 차원의 새로운 변수들을 도출하였다. 그 결과 소비자들이 전문가 후기에서 반응하고 있는 언어적 특성은 제품에 대한 깊이 있는 정보의 양이나 충분한 설명을 나타내는 변수인 Review Depth, 그리고 전문가가 기술하는 방식이 제품에 대한 확신이 없는 듯한 말투를 나타내는 변수인 Lack of Assurance는 소비자의 전반적인 제품평가에 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 제품에 대한 칭찬이나 긍정적인 면을 서술하는 방식인 Positive Polarity가 소비자의 제품 평가에 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 전문가가 하는 제품에 대한 비관적인 평가인 Negative Polarity는 소비자들의 평가와 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었다는 점이다. 전문가가 스토리텔링 관점에서 자주 사용하는 Social Orientation 특성은 유의한 관계를 미치지 못함이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 새로운 방법론을 제안하고 이를 실제로 활용한 결과를 보여준다는 차원에서 이론적이고 실무적인 공헌을 가진다.
