The role of social capital in digitalised retail servicescape

2021

This chapter examines how digitalisation has altered the way consumers experience the social interaction and service environment while shopping in retail stores. In this, we draw on the concept of servicescape, which comprises both tangible and intangible features which make up the service experience. Recognising the three realms of servicescape (physical, digital and social), we explore the role of social capital in determining the customer experience in digitalised retail servicescape. We demonstrate that social capital has two specific roles. Firstly, it is an integral part of the customer experience and thus contributes to the service experience. Secondly, social capital is created in t…

Ideology in Vicarious Learning-Related Communication

2021

Organizations often learn vicariously by observing what other organizations do. Our study examines vicarious learning–related communication through which individuals share their observations with other organizational members. Most students and members of present-day organizations would expect that this communication is driven by a prodevelopment logic—that communication serves the purpose of organizational improvement and competitiveness. Our unique historical evidence on learning-related communication over multiple decades shows that the subjective and collective attitude toward prodevelopment communication may be ideologically conditioned. Prodevelopment communication is the norm in capit…

‘Interesting but scary’ : Customers' perceived value of MyData

2022

Digitalisation has facilitated saving data in various warehouses. While Big Data is a new form of capital that is often considered an asset for organisations, the potential value of data to customers has seldom been addressed. This chapter discusses MyData (personified and personalised data) and aims to increase our understanding of its benefits and the value created when customers use their own data. The empirical data for this paper were collected from customers of a large retail organisation that adopted the practice of sharing data with customers. This study has found that value accruing from customer’s shopping data is multifaceted and can be either positive (creating value) or negativ…

A Customer Perspective on Omnichannel Customer Journey and Channel Usage : A Qualitative Study

2022

This qualitative study investigates customer behavior during the omnichannel customer journey. The study aims to increase the understanding of omnichannel service environments from a customer-centric point of view. The data was collected by interviewing 10 young adults (from 26 to 30 years old) who had bought a Finnish clothing brand (R-Collection) product via a digital or a physical channel. The research interviews dealt with the interviewees' experiences and channel behavior during their shopping journeys. Our results reflect the multidimensional nature of the omnichannel customer journey and give interesting insights into the usage of digital channels and technologies for clothing shoppi…

Multimodaaliset resurssit viittomakielisten oppilaiden suomen kielen tunnilla : neksusanalyyttinen tutkimus

2016

Tutkin maisterintutkielmassani välityskeinoja ja multimodaalisuutta erään kuurojenkoulun 6–9-luokkalaisten viittomakielisten suomi toisena kielenä -oppitunneilla. Ensikieleltään viittomakielisille oppilaille suomen kieli on ensimmäinen kirjoitettu kieli, joten sen merkitys heidän elämässään on suuri, ja suomen kielen hallinta vaikuttaa moneen elämän osa-alueeseen. Tutkimuskysymyksissäni kysyn, mitä resursseja eli välityskeinoja suomi toisena kielenä -oppitunneilla on käytössä. Analysoin erityisesti, mitä välityskeinoja on käytössä taulutyöskentelyn toiminnossa, jossa opettaja on luokan etuosassa ja johtaa opetustilannetta taulun läheltä samalla, kun oppilaat istuvat pulpeteissaan. Pohdin my…

Predator response to the coloured eyespots and defensive posture of Colombian four‐eyed frogs

2023

Deimatic displays, where sudden changes in prey appearance elicit aversive predator reactions, have been suggested to occur in many taxa. These (often only putative) displays frequently involve different components that may also serve antipredator functions via other mechanisms (e.g., mimicry, warning signalling, body inflation). The Colombian four-eyed frog, Pleurodema brachyops, has been suggested to gain protection against predation through putative deimatic displays where they inflate and elevate the posterior part of their body revealing eye-like colour markings. We exposed stationary artificial frogs to wild predators to test whether the two components (eyespot/colour markings, defens…
