Fairs for e-commerce: the benefits of aggregating buyers and sellers
2016
In recent years, many new and interesting models of successful online business have been developed. Many of these are based on the competition between users, such as online auctions, where the product price is not fixed and tends to rise. Other models, including group-buying, are based on cooperation between users, characterized by a dynamic price of the product that tends to go down. There is not yet a business model in which both sellers and buyers are grouped in order to negotiate on a specific product or service. The present study investigates a new extension of the group-buying model, called fair, which allows aggregation of demand and supply for price optimization, in a cooperative ma…
Commercio e innovazione: la via dell'e-commerce
2008
Uno dei fenomeni più recenti e innovativi del commercio è senza dubbio l’e-commerce (electronic commerce). Con tale e-word si definisce quel tipo di transazione elettronica, tra due o più soggetti connessi telematicamente, che implica l’acquisto di beni o servizi on line. Nuovi mercati nascono sul web. Parlare di e-commerce è rilevante in geografia poiché discutiamo di spazi. Spazi che si riducono, ovviamente. Spazi che si annullano e divengono solo mentali, mentre le possibilità di scelta per il consumatore e per le imprese, al contrario, aumentano. Non si tratta di un commercio virtuale. È un commercio reale, dall’effetto dirompente. Scompare o si riduce l’intermediazione distributiva, a …
Exploring the intersection of e-commerce and context in family business in China: the effects on organisational form and identity
2019
This chapter melds these interests of understanding how the context of e-Commerce and family business affects organisational form and subsequently organisational identity by integrating a narrative about the development of family business and e-Commerce in China with an exploratory analysis of two Chinese family businesses. Institutional theory informs this discussion (Scott, 2008: Suddaby, Elsbach, Greenwood, Meyer and Zilber, 2010). After describing why businesses adopt e-Commerce, and illustrating the contextual conditions in China that foster the development of private enterprises such as family businesses, and the adoption of e-Commerce, the chapter subsequently explores the question “…

An exploratory analysis of website quality in the agrifood sector: The case of extra virgin olive oil
2018
Besides verifying the current consistency on the Internet of websites set up by Sicilian (Southern Italy) EVO oil firms, this paper aims to verify their e-service quality by evaluating which main quality features, as derived from the literature, they have. To process the data, descriptive statistics were used, which allowed detection of the presence/absence of the variables examined. The study found 280 websites with some qualitative gaps. Findings highlight that EVO oil firms do not exploit the potentialities of the web adequately. They often use the Internet as a communication and promotion tool, but only to a lesser degree for e-commerce. The results may be useful to both agrifood manage…
Factors Affecting E-Business Adoption by SMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa
2009
The use of information communication technologies (ICT) especially the Internet by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is on the increase in many regions of the world, including Africa.

This article made use of a theoretical framework encompassing organizational, external and technological contexts to deliberate the issue. A survey is conducted in three Nigerian cities and the findings of the s…
Electronic commerce and governance forms: a transaction cost approach
2010
A large amount of the electronic commerce (EC) literature is focused on the benefits of digitalising transactions, as well as technological and organisational issues related to implementing inter-firm information systems. Even though firms choose different electronic solutions for different purposes, there are still modest research contributions focusing on what kind of governance structures that emerge from business to business (B2B) electronic commerce and why these different governance forms emerge. This paper develops a framework for analysing how certain transaction characteristics such as order frequency, relation specific assets and uncertainty affect the alignment of electronic gove…

Veikala DECATHLON Rīga e-komercijas attīstības projekta izstrāde
2021
Koronavīrusa pandēmijas noteiktie ierobežojumi noveda pie tā, ka Latvijas iedzīvotājiem bija nepieciešams sportot mājās vai brīvā dabā, kas izraisīja nepieciešamību pielāgoties . Attiecīgi visi aizliegumi ir izraisījuši ievērojamu pieprasījuma pieaugumu pēc sporta precēm, sporta apģērba un ar to saistītajiem produktiem. Savukārt uzņēmums Decathlon jau sen plānoja ienākt Latvijas tirgū, jo, ņemot vērā tā konkurences priekšrocības, tika plānots aizņemt diezgan plašu stabilu nišu. Ienākšana tirgū tika veiksmīgi pabeigta 2020. gadā, tomēr, ņemot vērā pandēmijas izraisītos fiziskās tirdzniecības ierobežojumus Latvijā, steidzami bija jāpārplāno mārketings un jāpopularizē zīmola preces tirgū, liek…
Emoción y razón: El efecto moderador del género en el comportamiento de compra online
2018
A pesar de la evidencia existente en torno a las diferencias entre mujeres y hombres en los procesos de toma de decisiones, así como en la adopción de la tecnología, la investigación llevada a cabo hasta la fecha no ha sido concluyente. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las intenciones comportamentales de los consumidores según su género en los intercambios comerciales B2C. En este sentido, se propone identificar cómo el valor funcional —representando el raciocinio del consumidor—, el valor simbólico —representando la motivación emocional— y la confianza actúan como antecedentes de la intención de compra en el canal online. A partir de los resultados derivados de una investigación emp…
