Investigating switching intention of e-commerce live streaming users.
2022
As a new way of shopping, e-commerce live streaming (ELS) has gained unprecedented growth and popularity in the past years, especially in China. Because of the considerable rivalry in the ELS market, users frequently switch between ELS platforms. However, the switching intention of ELS users is yet to be explored for gaining new knowledge and practical insights. This study aims to improve the understanding of ELS users' switching intentions by developing an extended Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) model. Using structural equation modeling, the study model was examined based on 443 valid responses from an online survey questionnaire. SmartPLS 3.3.2 was used to validate the causal model, and most of …
IT-tuotteiden ja -palveluiden vaihtaminen : musiikin suoratoistopalvelut
2016
Erilaisten sovellusten ja palveluiden käyttö kasvaa jatkuvasti. Palveluiden kysynnän kasvaessa on syntynyt toistensa kanssa kilpailevia palveluita, joilla käyttäjät katsovat esimerkiksi videoita ja kuuntelevat musiikkia erilaisten laitteiden välityksellä. IT-tuotteiden ja -palveluiden vaihtaminen nouseekin mie-lenkiintoiseksi tutkimuksen aiheeksi. Tällä saadaan selvitettyä miten eri palveluita ja tuotteita käytetään, sekä mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat näiden välillä vaihtamiseen. Näillä tiedoilla on merkitystä niin käyttäjän, kuin palveluntarjoajankin kannalta. Vaihtamistutkimuksen avulla saadaan tehtyä palveluista paremmin käyttäjien toiveita vastaavia, sekä havaittua vaihtamiseen vaikuttavia …
Switching Behaviour in Smart Phone Messaging Services : It’s a Question of Context, Content, and Features of the Service
2021
This paper studies switching behaviour in smart phone messaging services. This study aims to add knowledge about the factors affecting switching behaviour in smart phone messaging services. The empirical study is qualitative, and the data was collected with interviews using the laddering method. This study was carried out to find out the reasons behind customer decisions when choosing between smart phone messaging services. Using the Push-Pull Mooring framework, the findings of this study indicate that the switching decision regarding smart phone messaging service is influenced by three factors: the context of the message, the content of the message, and the features of the service.
Behaviour-modifying compounds for management of the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Oliver).
2014
BACKGROUND: Populations of red palm weevil (RPW), a severe pest of palms in Mediterranean countries, might be limited by semiochemical-based behaviour-disrupting methods. We evaluated the effects of electroantennogram (EAG)-active plant volatiles on the behaviour of RPWs from Italy and Israel. In field experiments, α-pinene, citronellol, geraniol, citral and 1-octen-3-ol were tested for their ability to disrupt attraction to pheromone-kairomone and molasses baited traps. Those that were found to be disruptive in the field were evaluated in a laboratory choice bioassay in individual cages for their effect on RPW female feeding and oviposition. RESULTS: Field experiments showed reduced captur…
Exploiting chemical ecology to manage hyperparasitoids in biological control of arthropod pests
2020
Abstract Insect hyperparasitoids are fourth trophic level organisms that commonly occur in terrestrial food webs, yet they are relatively understudied. These top‐carnivores can disrupt biological pest control by suppressing the populations of their parasitoid hosts, leading to pest outbreaks, especially in confined environments such as greenhouses where augmentative biological control is used. There is no effective eco‐friendly strategy that can be used to control hyperparasitoids. Recent advances in the chemical ecology of hyperparasitoid foraging behavior have opened opportunities for manipulating these top‐carnivores in such a way that biological pest control becomes more efficient. We p…
