Website design and e-consumer: effects and responses
2007
This research is focused on the study of the effects of different web layouts ? related to navigational structure and presentation of products ? on internal and behavioural consumer responses within an online shopping situation. Moreover, in our model we have introduced two types of variables ? involvement and atmospheric responsiveness ? which mediate the relationships between the constructs analysed. A website and a tracking behaviour methodology for a fictitious apparel retailer have been developed in order to carry out a 2?2 between-subjects experimental study. Our results show that if web marketers design stores without restrictive navigation cues (offering, in consequence, freedom of …
Enabling the full participation of university students with disabilities: seeking best practices for a barrier-free language centre
2015
Recent research has shown that 3.4% of university students in Finland have a diagnosed or observed illness or disability that affects their learning at the university level. The University of Jyväskylä Language Centre embarked on an organised, ongoing research and intervention project to enable appropriate teaching practices to suit the needs of all students. The process, thus far, has shown there is a need to clarify the rights and obligations of students and teachers to enable an atmosphere of mutual trust. A survey of the Language Centre teachers showed that all had taught students with disabilities during their university careers. Teachers wanted more information about disabilities, suc…
Medioevo meridionale reinterpretato in un sito della Duke University
2017
Il nuovo sito della Duke University (http://kos.aahvs.duke.edu/kosredirect.php) è oggi certamente il luogo dove si concentrano più informazioni e dati iconografici relativi ai monumenti medievali dell’Italia meridionale. L’iniziativa possiede molti meriti ma bisogna anche riconoscere le problematicità che la struttura, l’essenziale schedatura e l’interpretazione dei dati producono. Il problema che non sembra si sia posto è quello di una lettura deformante dell’architettura prodotta da un certo tipo di rappresentazioni “fotogeniche” e dai filtri, nati tra XVIII e XIX secolo, che hanno contribuito all’invenzione di tradizioni e hanno generato un’idea del Sud composta da alcuni fortunati luogh…

Wykorzystanie ram jakości M.J. Epplera do ewaluacji jakości informacji serwisów internetowych PWSZ
2019
The article presents the evaluation of information quality on the websites of the State Higher Vocational Schools (PWSZ) in Poland. The information quality framework proposed by M.J. Eppler was adopted as a diagnostic tool to identify gaps in information quality. The assessment was conducted from the user's perspective. Firstly, the ranking of the PWSZ sites in Poland was created. Secondly, the criteria for the quality of information in the website infrastructure were analysed. The conclusions result in a statement that most websites demonstrate a low level of information quality. The scope of synthetic measures ranges from 60.0% to 90.8% which indicates a wide variation in the information …
Advance booking across channels: The effects on dynamic pricing
2021
This research analyzes the effects of advance booking and channel type on hotel rates. While this relationship has been addressed in the literature, most studies take a partial approach by focusing only on one distribution channel or one destination. This study fills this gap by analyzing the price dynamics for four channels and multiple destinations. The data set consists of 39,363 bookings for 1085 hotels over 27 consecutive months. We used two-stage least squares to solve potential endogeneity issues, and the results proved that distribution channel, hotel type and hotel size have an influence on the effect of advance booking on hotel rates. Critical managerial implications are discussed…
Anglicisms in Tourism Language Corpora 2.0
2015
Abstract The world of tourism has evolved in recent times because of the impact of the Internet. Tourism enterprises have expanded their commercial point of view and have found a faster way to reach clients through increased tourism advertising on the Web. Along with this increase in advertising are the opportunities to study the lexicon of tourism. One of the main points in this lexicon is the use of foreign words, especially the use of Anglicisms due to English's status as a universal language in these contexts. In this article, we will study the Anglicisms in Spanish tourism from these points of view: • why these words are used; • in what context they are used; • if we use original forei…
Preferencias implícitas de una muestra española: una técnica novedosa para determinar preferencias raciales
2015
Las preferencias raciales expresadas explícitamente pueden carecer de información que sea completa en su contenido, ya sea porque las personas prefieren no expresar sus actitudes per se o tal vez porque no estén al tanto de ellas. El Implicit Association Test (IAT), desarrollado por Greenwald, Banaji y Nosek, evalúa las preferencias implícitas de las personas a través de una plataforma de internet. Demuestra que cuando una persona expresa una preferencia en particular, es posible que no conciba que esa actitud tenga un componente inconsciente y que pueda modificarla. Se obtuvieron 235 sujetos que respondieron a la prueba de preferencia implícita de raza (negra y blanca), a través del portal…
