This book was released on 2016 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most severe disability known to humankind is the loss of sight as it deprives the individual of his or her primary sense used to acquire information and knowledge about their direct environment. Visual impairment limits effective decision making as it severs the individual's essential involvement in society. Such individuals have restricted informed choices and are mostly dependent on other people, as a result their ability to make decisions, communicate and develop a sense of purchasing orientation is hampered. This research is aimed at exploring the shopping experiences and challenges of visually impaired consumers in regard to clothing prices, size, care instructions, their choices of colour and the fibre content and feel (hand) of the fabric used for the garment, when alone and when being accompanied while shopping. The process of shopping involves need recognition, information search of apparel items, followed by store briefing, evaluation of alternatives then purchasing. The overall aim of this study is to propose a decision-making process for visually impaired consumers in a clothing retail environment.

Book excerpt: The notion of 'experience' marks a shift in consumer research from focusing on the rational consumer to focusing on emotions (Holbrook & Hirschman, 1982). This research studies consumer experiences in the specific context of online fashion shopping. It contributes to the field of atmospherics and consumption emotions and experiences, thus bridging a gap that has been highlighted in the literature (e.g.Turley & Milliman, 2000). This thesis aims to study the online fashion-shopping experience as the consumer lives and constructs it. The research conducted two studies that are underpinned by the philosophical stance of pragmatism. First, Kelly's (1955) personal construct theory (PCT) is adopted to gain an in-depth understanding of consumers' shopping experience using their own words and construction. The study conducted 25 repertory grid interviews, analysed first with Jankowicz's (2005) method of initial eyeball and process analyses. Next, following Lemke, Clark, and Wilson (2011), qualitative construct coding was performed by multi-coders for inter-reliability checks.This study contributes to our understanding of the online fashion-shopping experience by (1) introducing the construction of the experience as emotional, perceptual, situational and behavioural, (2) highlighting how individuality in such experiences often changes the meaning of such constructs, and (3) arguing that situational constructs provide a context that shapes the whole experience.Second, screencast videography is introduced as a novel method that captures the shoppers' live experiences. Critical incident analysis of ten videos allowed the experience journey to be mapped, highlighting the main critical incidents and the contexts (e.g. purposeful vs. purposeless browsing) that shape the experience.In addition to its methodological contribution, this study provides great insights into an otherwise unobservable phenomenon. Furthermore, it presents the 'fashionscape' as a concept tailored especially to understanding the online fashion-shopping environment in its visual, verbal, social and educational dimensions.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there has been a rapid growth in online apparel sales and online apparel shopping during the last several years, consumers still have concerns when they purchase apparel products online (ComScore, 2007; Dunne & Lusch, 2005; ITFacts E-commerce, 2007). From the online apparel shoppers' perspective, online apparel shopping involves a considerable level of risk because they cannot inspect and try on apparel products before the purchase. If consumers are not satisfied with the fit, color, or quality of the product after it is delivered, they will most likely want to return the product (Taylor & Cosenza, 2000). The research question of the present study is why some dissatisfied consumers decide to continue online shopping and why others decide to discontinue online shopping when presented with an unsatisfactory online shopping and return experience. Based on the concepts of distributive, procedural, and informational justice, this study examined the direct effect of compensation on distributive justice, the direct effect of efficient return procedures on procedural justice, and the direct effect of information availability of return on informational justice, and the direct effects of perceived distributive, procedural, and informational justice on post-recovery satisfaction. Indirect effects on post-purchase intentions after an unsatisfactory online apparel shopping and return experience were also examined. Furthermore, the present study examined the moderating effect of perceived seriousness of product failure on the relationship between compensation and distributive justice, the relationship between efficient return procedure and procedural justice, and the relationship between information availability for return and informational justice. The moderating effects of shopping orientations, perceived performance risk, and previous experience with online apparel shopping on the relationships between three types of perceived justice and post-recovery satisfaction, and on the relationship between post-recovery satisfaction and post-purchase intentions were also examined. The present study employed a combined experimental and a survey-based method. For the experiments, five scenarios were developed using projective technique. The convenience sampling was conducted. 148 students at Oregon State University participated. Subjects read a scenario in the third person perspective about a consumer returning a product. They were then asked to assess evaluative criteria including distributive justice, procedural justice, informational justice, post-recovery satisfaction, post-purchase intentions, perceived seriousness of product failure, convenience shopping orientation, economic shopping orientation, recreational shopping orientation, perceived performance risk, and previous experience with online apparel shopping. The findings indicated that participants who read a scenario in which a consumer received higher levels of distributive, procedural, and informational justices indicated the consumer would be more satisfied with the service recovery and would develop positive post-purchase intentions. In other words, consumers who had an unsatisfactory online apparel shopping and return experience were perceived as being willing to develop positive post-purchase intentions from the same online store if the e-retailer provided high levels of post-recoveries such as free return shipping fee, both store return option and mail return option, and information availability about return shipping fee. The results supported that the concepts of distributive, procedural, and informational justice may be applicable for understanding consumers who had an unsatisfactory online apparel shopping and return experience. The findings have managerial implications for e-return policies and return procedures. If e-retailers provide high levels of service recoveries with return policies and return procedures in which consumers perceive fair, those consumers may be satisfied with those return policies and return procedures, and then are likely to repurchase apparel products from the same online apparel store. Future research needs to examine the impacts of other factors such merchandise credit, cash refunds, and online help options on perceived justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how companies can - and must - adapt their sales strategies and processes to changing customer expectations in times of digital transformation and markets volatility. How can sales address, win and retain the modern customer, an intangible PHANTOM in the digital space? The digital world is characterized by eagerness, ease and enthusiasm. Nowadays, people have unlimited and instant access to manifold information and thus they believe to be knowledgeable, autonomous and independent. As customers, they actively elude traditional sales and marketing on their way to a buying decision - in B2C and B2B alike. To reach these modern customers, companies must synchronize their sales approaches with their customers' decision-making processes and rethink selling. In this context, the author offers a wealth of suggestions with examples and provocative theses. A stirring and inspiring book for anyone interested in state-of-the-art sales and marketing: sales management and staff or entrepreneurs and start-ups.

This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. Wael B. Hallaq, a renowned sharia scholar, has called sharia an ‘episteme’ that suffered a ‘structural death’ following the dawn of modernity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (Hallaq 2009, 15–16). Yet, its resurgent is remarkable across a number of jurisdictional fault-lines: from Muslim-majority nations in Middle East and Southeast Asia to Muslim-minority societies in Western Europe and North America. Across these jurisdictions, the relationship between sharia and state law is central. It includes sharia-state encounters, notably in the form of (state) Islamic law, in the field of family law, which is often asserted as the ‘core’ or ‘last stronghold’ of sharia (Moors 2003, 2; Coulson 1969, 115–6), and other substantive areas of law, such as Islamic economics and Islamic philanthropy and also jinayah (Islamic penal law). Regardless of their differences in their own specific context, these areas somehow manage to secure an importance place in the modern days. It involves different loci of authority to interpret, legislate, and enforce sharia, or parts of it that not only flourish but also being challenged around the Muslim world. Equally important are implications of the increasingly unsettled authority of apparently agreed-upon substance of sharia. To contribute on these issues, we would like to invite scholars from diverse discipline including law, anthropology, and Islamic studies, working in both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts, to present their works in our International Seminar on Sharia, Law, and Muslim Society (ISSLaMS).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study was to determine consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping. According to the existing literature, four categories of perceptions play primary roles for apparel shopping consumer decisions: apparel appearance, apparel comfort, fabric characteristics, and apparel fit. The present study aimed to observe how consumers examine apparel products and focused on the role of consumers' apparel product perceptions in making their purchase decisions within an Internet shopping environment. Research methods resulting in qualitative data were utilized to observe how consumers navigate Web sites and search for the information needed to make purchase decisions. Participants were asked to access their favorite apparel Web site and go through their decision making process for selecting one apparel item to purchase. Observations were made regarding navigation patterns. Participants were also asked about specific product perceptions. Interviews were conducted with 26 female participants and lasted from 30 minutes to 1 hour. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Emergent themes from the interviews were identified and factors related to consumers' decision making processes were outlined. The results of the study showed how participants shopped for apparel products on the Web site using certain information. First, participants mentioned both positive and negative perceptions with Internet apparel shopping in general. Second, participants preferred certain Web sites based on their Internet shopping motivations. Third, based on Web site navigational patterns, five types of Internet apparel shoppers were identified: category shopper, bargain shopper, trend seeker, brand shopper, and visual shopper. Fourth, perceptions of apparel product value and quality were based on specific perceptions of image, comfort, fabric characteristics, and fit. The factors in each of these categories were examined and evaluated in relation to their importance in consumers' purchase decisions. Lastly, additional factors were used by participants in Internet apparel shopping decision making including: price, country of origin, shipping and handling fees, and return policies. The results of this study further our understanding of consumer behavior of the apparel products in the Internet environment and can provide needed information to Internet apparel retailers as they strive to create effective and useful Internet shopping environments.
