The Effects of Individual Values on Online Shopping Spending

2019

Although individual values have been found as important antecedents of human behaviour, their effects on online shopping behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we aim to address this gap in prior research by examining the effects of individual values on both total online shopping spending and the specific types of online shopping spending in terms of orders made (1) with traditional computers versus mobile devices, (2) from businesses versus other consumers, and (3) from domestic versus foreign online stores. The examination is based on the data from 565 Finnish online shoppers, which was collected via an online survey between February 2019 and March 2019 and is analysed by usin…

Rhetoric in the American and Cuban palaver on human trafficking

2010

The purpose of the thesis is to understand how the anti-human trafficking dialogue in the Cuban-American context is used as medium to express national agendas. The research data were speeches delivered by representatives of the US and Cuban governments that specifically mentioned Cuba or the United States in addition to human trafficking. The broad categories that emerged in these speeches included religion, morality, children (youth), and gender. The rhetoric employed within each of these categories was examined to reveal how the palaver on human trafficking was used to promote American and Cuban agendas. It was found that the use of religious rhetoric is an effective tool for the American…

Impulssiostamiseen vaikuttavat tekijät mobiiliverkkokaupassa

2017

Impulssiostamisen ilmiötä on tutkittu kivijalkamyymälöiden kontekstissa jo 1950-luvulta lähtien. Teknologian kehitys on tuonut kuluttajien impulssiostokäyttäymiselle kokonaan uuden ulottuvuuden. Mobiililaitteiden ja etenkin älypuhelinten suosion jatkuva kasvu on tuonut mobiiliverkko-ostoympäristöt kuluttajien saataville ajasta ja paikasta riippumatta. Tässä tutkielmassa selvitetään kirjallisuuskatsauksen keinoin, millaisia vaikutuksia mobiililaitteilla on kuluttajien impulssiostokäyttäytymiseen ja mitkä tekijät mobiiliverkko-ostoympäristössä aiheuttavat impulsiivista ostokäyttäytymistä. Tutkielman tavoitteena on tuoda lukijalle käsitys impulssiostamisen määritelmästä, mobiiliverkkokaupan ty…

Cross-Border M&A performance by Chinese firms : industry effect analysis

2017

Chinese firms participate in cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMA) in a constantly increasing rate. As China, the leading developing economy of the world keeps developing, the dynamics of value creation through CBMA change. This study examines the short-term performance of 41 CBMA deals by Chinese firms from 2012 to 2015. Results from the event study analysis show that, on average, Chinese companies should participate in CBMA. The first result of this study indicates that Chinese acquirer companies gain significant cumula-tive average abnormal returns (CAARs) from CBMA. The second result of this study is that Chinese acquirer companies gain bigger CAARs from CBMA when the acquiring f…

The Strategic Cognition View of Issue Salience and the Evolution of a Political Issue : Landis & Gyr, the Hungarian Uprising and East-West Trade, 195…

2017

Why do firms facing similar stakeholder issues respond quite differently? The recently introduced strategic cognition view of issue salience and firm responsiveness (hereinafter: issue salience model) seeks to tackle this core question of stakeholder theory. I extend the nascent theorizing with a historical case study in order to rethink the model’s firm-centric perspective. The firm under examination in this historical case study is the Swiss multinational Landis & Gyr (LG) during the Cold War period. Like many other Swiss exportoriented companies in the 1950s and early 1960s, LG was challenged by Swiss pressure groups, which were highly effective at putting an issue on the public agenda: …

Public Discourse on Human Trafficking in International Issue Arenas

2015

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to better understand how the complex problem of human trafficking is addressed in international debates. How the discussion about human trafficking develops and how it is debated ultimately influences how the decision-making process unfolds. In order to understand the formation of public policy and laws, therefore, it is important to study the debate that occurs prior to decision making. This analysis focuses on the narratives used by major, well-established human rights and political actors that argue for necessary actions to be undertaken — such as the formation of new policies and laws in the European Union — as an attempt to protect citizens of the…
