Consumer behaviour,product/service characteristics(who uses why the Internet forwhat)

E-Business

A quick scan• Make a list of the products/services for which you used the

Internet to search for information during the last month• Which of these products/services did you buy and where

(Internet, shop, catalog)• Make a list of the products/services your parents bought the

last month through the Internet• Make a list of the products/services your grandparents

bought last month through the Internet• Make a list of the products/services you think your fellow

students bought last month through the Internet

1. Marketing perspective

• 1.1 Nature of product/service

• 1.2 Stages of the decision making process

• I.3 Consumer characteristics

Test the audience

• In groups of 3/4 students: which products/services are suitable to sell through the Internet and why?

1.1 Nature of services/products

• PRODUCTS- Physical- Standardization- Production separate

- Possible to store

• SERVICES- Intangible- Heterogenity- Simultaneous

production- Perishability

Koiso-Kantilla (2004)

Classification according to tasks

• Perceived risk

• Frequency of purchase

• Functional versus expressive value

Zeng and Reinartz (2003)

Evaluation stage

• High touch versus low touch

• High information content versus low information content

• Demand on consumer expertise

The information component

• Search goods

• Experience goods 1

• Experience goods 2

• Credence goods

Girard et al. (2003)

Marketing perspective (1.2)

• The stages of decision making

Test the audience

• Assume you are intending to buy a new TV. How do you come to your decide which television you are going to buy?

Stages of decision making

• Problem recognition

• Information search

• Evaluation of alternatives

• Purchase decision

• Post purchase behavior

Howard and Sheth (1969), Engel et al. (1994), Kotler (2003)

Information search paradox

Stages and channel preferencesPro off-line Pro on-line

Problem recognition No arguments No arguments

Information search Reduction of the search effort for price and product information

Evaluation Feel and touch; perceived risk

Only price and other specific attributes

Purchase Delivery time

Reasons

• The higher educated, the higher the efficiency (less time, therefore lower transaction costs)

• The higher the experience (age, education, gender) the higher the efficiency (lower prices)

E-Business

2. The strategy perspective

• 2.1 (Structure-Conduct-Performance model (Porter, 1980, 1985)

• 2.2 Resource Based View (Barney, 1991, 1994)

• 2.3 Multi channel strategy

2.1 The five forces model to define attractiveness of industry (Porter, 1980)

THREAT OF THREAT OF

ENTRY BUYERS

RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING FIRMS

THREAT OF THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES SUPPLIERS

Test the audience

• Are there industry characteristics (based on the five forces model) which explain the use of the Internet as a channel?

Disappearance of barriers of entry

• Economies of scale

• Product differentiation

• Switching costs

• Access to distribution channels

(Shin, 2001; Lucas, 2002)

Existing rivalry

• Winner takes all

• First mover advantage

(Source: Coltman, 2001)

Strategies to realize competitive advantage (Porter, Treacy and

Wiersema)

• Cost leadership/operational excellence• Differentiation/product leadership• Focus/customer intimacy

Test the audience

• Mention examples of companies that use the Internet to create a competitive advantage

Results

• Multi-channel strategy as access-based positioning

• Multi-channel strategy as a defense by increasing barriers to entry

2.2 Resource based view (Penrose, 1959, Barney, 1991)

• The firm as a bundle of resources

• Competitive advantage when resources are:

- Valuable

- Rare

- Costly to imitate

- Organized

Results

• e-Technology as a resource• IT-knowledge as resource• Back-end integration as resource• Direct channel experience (economy of

scope)• Advantage of scale and scope disappear• Switching costs by multi channel strategy• Focus on brand(s)

Resources

• Catalog sellers

• Channel conflicts

• Disruption in retailing (Christensen and Tedlow, 2000)

Reasons for using the internet

Channel Price

per transaction

Web $ 1

Call $ 10

Retail $ 50

Personal sales $ 200Simons et al. (2002)

2.3 Strategy perspective

• The multi-channel strategy

Advantages internet

• Costs reduction

• Differentiation

• Defensive

Disadvantages internet

• Perceived risk (lack of trust)

• Delivery and return problems

• Impersonal relationship

• No psychical inspection

The solution

• BRICKS AND CLICKS

Adding the internetChannel used

Original purchase

Purchases during 24

month period

Catalog only 76.2 % 68.8 %

Internet only 6.5 % 5.6 %

Store only 17.3 % 13.3 %

Multiple channels

12.3 %

Dholakia (2005)

VALUE CREATION

Testing the audience

• Combine the list of business models with the list of value adding; explain by examples

What’s really new about the models

• iTunes

• eBay

• Amazon.com

• Google

E-Business

II. Technology perspective: the Internet as a channel

Test the audience

• Think about the last new technology you tried (e.g. Mobile telephone, MP3, Internet). What were the reasons for trying it.

• What were the reasons for using (or not using) it after trying.

Relevant theories (1)Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Fishbein and Ajzen (1975)

Human behaviour in general Attitude is used and transferred to channel choice set; subjective norms are used to explain the use of a channel; not specific for ICT enabled channels

Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Ajzen and Madden (1986)

Behaviour in situations in which the actor has no complete control

Not used as Perceived Behavior Control is for working situations

Technology Acceptance Model, Davis (1989)

Based on TRA and TPB to explain the use of information systems

Explanation for the trial of electronic channels

Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), Rogers (1962)

Adoption of innovations in general

Not used as constructs are not operationalized and it lacks the IT-related variables, which have become important in prediction the use of ICT enabled channels (Pavlou and Fygenson, 2006)

Task Technology Fit (TTF), Goodhue and Thompson (1995)

Use and success of the use of information systems in organizations

Not used as it is a specific model for explaining IS use, originally in working situatons

Information Richness, Daft and Lengel, 1986

Use of different information channels for different situations in organizations

Not used as empirical results are not favourable (Rice and Shook, 1990; Ngwenyam and Lee, 1997; Carlson and Davis, 1998; Otondo et al., 2008)

Relevant theories (2)

Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory (EDT), Oliver (1980)

The continued use of product/services by consumers

Used to explain continuous use

DeLone & McLean IS Success Model, DeLone and McLean, (1992)

Success of an Information System

Not used as user satisfaction does not predict system usage satisfactorily

Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), Bandura, 1986

Behavior of individuals which is influenced by (among others) the behavior itself

Not used as the constructs are included in other theories

Uses & Gratifications (U&G),

The use of different media is formed by diffe rent needs

Not used as gratifications are similar to EDT

Switching behaviour, Keaveney (1995); Roos (1999)

Switching of consumers between service providers

Not used as multi-channel implies the use of several channels

SERVQUAL, Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry, 1985

Model for measuring service quality

Used in the definitions of end-states

Consideration set (evoked set), Howard (1963)

Consumer choice of a brand Used in explaining decision making process and transferred to channel choice set

Multi attribute attitude model (Fishbein, 1963)

Consumer decision making model

Used in explaining decision making process

• Theory of reasoned action (Fishbein and Azjen, 1975)

• Theory of planned behavior (Azjen and Madden, 1986)

• Technology acceptance model (Davis, 1989)

ATTITUDE

SUBJECTIVE NORMS

BEHAVIORAL INTENTION BEHAVIOR

Theory of reasoned action

ATTITUDE

BEHAVIORAL INTENTION BEHAVIOR

PERCEIVED BEHAVIORAL CONTROL

Theory of planned behavior

Notani (1998)

Schubert (2002)

Two most important variables

• Perceived usefulness (PU)

• Perceived ease of use (PEOU)

• Cf. Rogers’

- Relative advantage

- Compatibility and complexity

The results from the literature

• Perceived usefulness is the number one factor

• Is linked with a number of other constructs (trust, perceived risk, control, task or decision making stage, enjoyment)

DeLone & McLean Success Model (1992)

• System quality

• Information quality

• Information use

• User satisfaction

• Individual impact

• Organization impact

DeLone and McLean 2004

Results

• Satisfaction with content (information)

• Satisfaction with performance

• Satisfaction is seen as an external variable (Wixam and Todd, 2005)

Innovation of diffusion theory (Rogers, 1962)

ATTRIBUTES THAT INFLUENCE ADOPTION:

• Relative advantage (economic, status)

• Compatibility (values, beliefs, needs, life style)

• Complexity

• Triability

• Observability (visible to others)

Innovation possibilities

• Improvement of existing attributes• New attributes to existing products or

services• Entirely new product or service

Bagozzi and Lee, 1999

Results

• Later adopters discontinue more than early adopters (expectation-reality gap)

• Hardly used for e-Commerce research

Expectation-disconfirmation theory

Expectation (t1)

Perceivedperformance(t2)

Confirmation(t2)

Satisfaction(t2)

Repurchaseintention(t2)

Results

• Satisfaction (and perceived usefulness) are strong predictors of the intention to continuous use

• Desires versus expectations in explaining satisfaction (desire with trial and expectation with adoption)

Other aspects

• Habits

• Past behavior/experience

Test the audience

• Form groups of four students

• Prepare a laddering interview

• Subject: use of a channel for financial services
