Personalization and hedonic motivation in creating customer experiences and loyalty in omnichannel retail

2020

This study examines the effects of personalization and hedonic motivation on customer experience and its loyalty outcomes in omnichannel retail context. The study develops eight hypotheses which are tested using two survey samples (Finland (n = 2084) and Sweden (n = 2334). In addition, empirical analysis includes 20 semi-structured interviews. The findings support all the hypotheses confirming the positive relationships personalization and hedonic motivation have on cognitive and emotional customer experience components. Further, the positive effects of customer experience on loyalty are confirmed. The results provide both theoretical and managerial insights for improved CX and customer loy…

Environmental values and customer-perceived value in industrial supplier relationships

2017

This study addresses a gap in the research on supply channel management by integrating environmental values and value creation in the context of buyer-supplier relationships. This study has two objectives: (i) to explore the environmental values structure of industrial customers, and (ii) to test the effect of environmental values on overall value perceptions. The effect of customer's environmental values on the supplier's environmental image and customer-perceived value is tested with structural equation modeling using the PLS method. The empirical analysis is based on a global sample of industrial companies that have a high impact on the environment (n = 121). Key findings of this study a…

Time-Frequency Characteristics of In-Home Radio Channels Influenced by Activities of the Home Occupant

2019

While aging is a serious global concern, in-home healthcare monitoring solutions are limited to context-aware systems and wearable sensors, which may easily be forgotten or ignored for privacy and comfort reasons. An emerging non-wearable fall detection approach is based on processing radio waves reflected off the body, who has no active interaction with the system. This paper reports on an indoor radio channel measurement campaign at 5.9 GHz, which has been conducted to study the impact of fall incidents and some daily life activities on the temporal and spectral properties of the indoor channel under both line-of-sight (LOS) and obstructed-LOS (OLOS) propagation conditions. The time-frequ…

Distributed spatial prediction for radio environment maps reconstruction in heterogeneous wireless networks

2017

Las previsiones indican que el tráfico de datos móviles se multiplicará por siete en el periodo de 2016 a 2021, creciendo con una tasa agregada anual del 47%. Para satisfacer esta demanda, tanto la industria como la academia se están centrando en las redes de quinta generación o 5G. Las redes 5G se espera que constituyan un entorno complejo e interconectado, que además proporciones múltiples servicios y aplicaciones a un número masivo de usuarios y máquinas. En este concepto se incluye la necesidad de dar soporte o de crear servicios para el paradigma conocido como el Internet de las Cosas (IoT), donde la visión es la de crear un entorno de todo conectado con todo en todo momento, con aplic…

Steering of a Sub-GeV electron beam through planar channeling enhanced by rechanneling

2014

We report the observation of efficient steering of a 855 MeV electron beam at MAMI (MAinzer MIkrotron) facilities by means of planar channeling and volume reflection in a bent silicon crystal. A $30.5\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ thick plate of (211) oriented Si was bent to cause quasimosaic deformation of the (111) crystallographic planes, which were used for coherent interaction with the electron beam. The experimental results are analogous to those recorded some years ago at energy higher than 100 GeV, which is the only comparable study to date. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrated that rechanneling plays a considerable role in a particle's dynamics and hinders the spoiling…
