Abstract:
An innovative laboratory procedure is described for testing the mechanical adhesion of new dehumidified mortars applied in the restoration works. A specific adherence test was carried out on composite specimens made by stone block and repair mortar. During the laboratory test the acoustic emission (AE) technique was employed, in order to estimate the amount of energy released from fracture propagation in the adherence surface between mortar and stone. A numerical simulation follows the experimental data. The evolution of detachment process of mortar in a coupled stone brick–mortar system was analysed by AE signals, which can improve the numerical model and predict the failure mode in the adhesion surface of repair plaster.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of new and innovative crystallising materials, so-called moisture blockers, in protecting masonry structures from water ingress. Design/methodology/approach Two masonry wells were constructed: one with lime mortar and the other with cement-based mortar in order to hold water inside, and then a moisture blocking product was applied at dry and wet conditions to the negative hydrostatic pressure side. The moisture levels of both, the surfaces and the substrate, were then observed for 14 days. Findings Results demonstrated that moisture blocking materials are effective methods in reducing the levels of surface moisture for bricks, mortar-brick interface and mortar. Originality/value Moisture blockers use the available water in the masonry to block the passage of water to the surface of the masonry, filling pores, cracks and spaces at the interface between mortar and bricks. This approach will deliver a wider understanding of how water-based moisture blockers work and the scenarios in which they are best applied. The pursuit of possible environmentally friendly and sustainable materials for use in the construction industry is the key driver of this research.

Abstract:
The relationship between competition and investment is generally characterized by an inverted-U relationship. The position of these curves and, in particular their maximum, i.e, the degree of competition that maximizes investment, depends on the degree of technical progress that characterizes each industry. Industries experiencing a high degree of technical progress, as information technologies, maximize their investments in innovation for lower degrees of competition than other industries. Sectoral and competition authorities should take this into account for regulation of competition. Information technologies should not be regulated as brick and mortar industries.

Abstract:
PurposeWhile remanufactured products represent an increasingly researched phenomenon in the literature, not much is known about consumers' understanding and acceptance of such products. This study explores this issue in the context of the theory of perceived risk (TPR), investigating return policy leniency and distribution channel choice as potential factors to foster remanufactured products' sales.Design/methodology/approachThis research utilizes an experimental design composed of a pre-test and a scenario-based main experiment to explore how return policy leniency might mitigate consumers' perceived risk and how their related purchase intention differs across two types of retail distribution channel structures (i.e. brick-and-mortar vs. online).FindingsThe investigation into the efficacy of return policy leniency within two retail distribution channel settings (i.e. brick-and-mortar vs. online) illustrates that providing a lenient return policy is an effective “cue” in increasing consumer purchase intention for remanufactured products. While prior literature has established that consumers value return policy leniency for new products, the authors provide empirical evidence that this preference also applies to remanufactured products. Notably, that return policy preference holds true in both channel settings (i.e. brick-and-mortar vs. online) under consideration. Additionally, and contrary to the authors’ predictions, consumers perceived remanufactured products sold via both channel settings as equally risky, thus highlighting that both are appropriate distribution channels for remanufactured products. Finally, while research on new products provides some initial guidance on consumer perceptions of quality and risk, the study provides empirical evidence into the difference of perceived risk with regard to new versus remanufactured products.Originality/valueBy employing the TPR, this research explored the role played by two supply chain management related factors (returns policy and channel structure) in reducing consumer's perceived risk and increasing purchase intention. In doing so, this study answers the call for more consumer-based supply chain management research in a controlled experimental research setting.

Abstract:
The increasing proliferation of IT services in all sectors has reinforced the adoption and diffusion across all levels of education and training institutions. However, lack of awareness, knowledge about the key challenges, and opportunities of e-learning seem to allude policymakers, resulting in low adoption or increased failure rate of many e-learning projects. Our study tries to address this problem through a review of relevant literature in e-learning. Our goal was to draw from the existing literature, insights into the opportunities and challenges of e-learning diffusion, and the current state-of-research in the field. To do this, we employed a systematic review of literature on some of the salient opportunities and challenges of e-learning innovation for educational institutions. These results aimed to inform policymakers and suggest some interesting issues to advance the research and adoption and diffusion of e-learning. Moreover, the bibliometric analysis shows that the field is experiencing high research attraction among scholars. However, several research areas in the field witnessed relatively low research paucity. Based on these findings, we discussed topics for possible future research.

Abstract:
We developed a novel multiobjective markdown system and deployed it across many merchandising units at Walmart. The objectives of this system are to (1) clear the stores’ excess inventory by a specified date, (2) improve revenue by minimizing the discounts needed to clear shelves, and (3) reduce the substantial cost to relabel merchandise in the stores. The underlying mathematical approach uses techniques such as deep reinforcement learning, simulation, and optimization to determine the optimal (marked-down) price. Starting in 2019, after six months of extensive testing, we implemented the new approach across all Walmart stores in the United States. The result was a high-performance model with a price-adjustment policy tailored to each store. Walmart increased its sell-through rate (i.e., the number of units sold during the markdown period divided by its inventory at the beginning of the markdown) by 21% and reduced its costs by 7%. Benefits that Walmart accrues include demographics-based store personalization, reductions in operating costs with limited numbers of price adjustments, and a dynamic time window for markdowns.

Abstract:
The threat of online shopping propels brick-and-mortar retailers to innovate and design their retail atmosphere to create unforgettable shopping experiences to compete effectively and retain customers. The study firstly identifies store atmospherics factors that enhance the shopping experience and secondly explores the hypothesized relationships between store atmospherics dimensions (lighting, music, layout, and employee interaction) and customer experience. Furthermore, the effect of customer experience and repurchase intention is also explored. A self-administered survey was used, and data were collected from 390 respondents who visit physical clothing stores regularly in the City of Johannesburg in South Africa. The survey results were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for descriptive statistics. Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) was utilized for the path analysis. The findings reveal that only store layout, lighting, and employee interaction are essential elements in creating pleasurable customer in-store experiences (β = 0.163, p = 0.05; β = 0.207, p = 0.01; β = 0.293, p = 0.001). It is also evident that consumers perceive music to be less effective in enhancing their shopping experiences (β = 0.048, p = ns). Moreover, the results show that enriching customer experiences stimulate repeat purchases (β = 0.745, p = 0.001). The findings demonstrate that innovating the store environment should be based on shop layout, illumination, and employee contact to create appealing experiences. This study contributes to consumer and retailing services literature. Acknowledgment This study is based on the research supported partly by the University of the Witwatersrand Chancellor’s Female Academic Leaders Fellowship.

Abstract:
Purpose The advent of grocery sales through online channels necessitates that bricks-and-mortar retailers redefine their logistics networks if they want to compete online. Because the general understanding of such bricks-and-clicks logistics systems for grocery is still limited, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the internal logistics networks used to serve customers across channels by means of an exploratory study with retailers from different contexts. Design/methodology/approach A total of 12 case companies from six European countries participated in this exploratory study. Face-to-face interviews with managers were the primary source for data collection. The heterogeneity of the sample enabled the authors to build a typology of logistics networks in grocery retailing on multiple channels and to understand the advantages of different warehousing, picking, internal transportation and last-mile delivery systems. Findings Bricks-and-mortar grocery retailers are leveraging their existing logistics structures to fulfill online orders. Logistics networks are mostly determined by the question of where to split case packs into customer units. In non-food logistics, channel integration is mostly seen as beneficial, but in grocery retailing, this depends heavily on product, market and retailer specifics. The data from the heterogeneous sample reveal six distinct types for cross-channel order fulfillment. Practical implications The qualitative analysis of different design options can serve as a decision support for retailers developing logistics networks to serve customers across channels. Originality/value The paper shows the internal and external factors that drive the decision-making for omni-channel (OC) logistics networks for previously store-based grocery retailers. Thereby, it makes a step toward building a contingency and configuration theory of retail networks design. It discusses in particular the differences between grocery and non-food OC retailing, last-mile delivery systems and market characteristics in the decision-making of retail networks design.

Abstract:
The interaction of microorganisms with stone materials leads to biodeterioration processes, which may cause aesthetic damages and the loss of durability and strength of the substrates. Innovative solutions against this process are represented by nanotechnologies. In our previous works, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was successfully encapsulated within two silica-based nanodevices: nanocapsules and mesoporous nanoparticles. Such loaded nanodevices have been dispersed in TEOS based coatings, characterized as far as their chemical–physical properties and in vitro biocide efficacy. Here, we adopt a multi-technic approach, to assess the coatings efficacy and compatibility with four types of stones of cultural heritage interest, namely, mortar, brick, travertine, and Carrara marble. In particular, we determine the protective function of the coatings, based on water transport properties (reduction up to a factor 10 of the water absorption for brick and mortar, without significantly influencing water vapor transmission rate), morphology of the surface (absence of coating cracks and color changes), and TiO2 photocatalytic activity. Consequently, these coatings can be considered suitable for application on stone artifacts, without interfering with their artistic appearance.

Abstract:
Since the internet became a new marketplace for buyers and sellers, the modernization of e-commerce brings into question whether online retailing can effectively replace traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Recent trends have highlighted the struggling business of physical retailers, yet many continue to operate while also having introduced an online sales channel along with pages on social media to increase engagement with customers. This study challenges the popular assumption that e-commerce is cannibalizing in-store sales opportunities, where online sales grow increasingly at the expense of the conventional method of shopping in brick-and-mortar stores. In examining financial and internet-related data of 50 major U.S. retailers from 2008 through 2013, I run panel data regressions to identify factors that contribute to the growth of in-store sales revenue and the proportion of online sales. My results indicate that retailers operating a clicks-and-bricks model do not suffer from channel cannibalization but may be forming a synergy across channels, as there are significant increases in measures regarding both physical and online retail operations.

Abstract:
This work uses a direct tensile test approach, developed in-house, to measure the bond strength of brick-mortar interfaces. The thesis postulates that direct tensile bond strength values can be used as a means of assessing compatibility of brick and mortar properties which directly influence the structural and durability performance of brickwork. The work identifies that direct forms of tensile testing are suited for comparative research more readily than flexural testing techniques, which induce inherent variability to the test system due to sample format and by application of the associated flexural bending theory. It is maintained that flexural bending tests reflect parameters which influence disproportionately the compressive strength of the mortar and the joint periphery. The work uses traditional volume ratios for mortars, proportioned to a constant mass of sand, to identify the effect that discrete changes in cement and lime content have upon bond strength performance of the mortar. The results show that cement content of mortar has no significant influence on bond strength, provided that the combined proportion of cement and lime maintain a 1:3 ratio by volume with the sand. Furthermore, it has been shown that the volume of the mix water should match the volume of cementitious material, in order to achieve suitable workability. The work produces a bond strength development curve for samples aged between 5-minutes and 2-years of age and concludes that bond strength does not develop in the same manner to compressive strength and that bond strength may decline post 28-days. Samples up to 2-years in age can demonstrate up to 40-percent loss of bond due to the effects of sustained drying shrinkage. Consequently the work questions the value of using 28-day strength tests as a means of predicting future bond strength performance. It is identified that the controlling parameter which effects bond strength development is the removal of the excess mix water from the mortar by brick suction forces. The work examines unit water absorption characteristics and identifies that the initial rate of suction test is not sufficiently representative of a unit's ability to remove water from a retentive mortar bed. In response a unique method, which measures the continuous water uptake of the brick bed-face is presented. The resulting water absorption profile identifies the rate of change of flow and the resulting force function, with which water is potentially extracted from the retentive mortar bed. Results show that a good correlation between a unit's suction force and bond strength can be attained. It is presented that initial bond strength is developed by volumetric plastic shrinkage of the mortar bed, induced by rapid removal of the excess mix water by brick background suction, which generates a mechanical lateral gripping action to the undulations of the brick bed-face.

In this thesis we discuss the profound impact that technology is having on brick-and-mortar fashion retail. Retailers that (i) understand the implications of these changes and (ii) can adapt their retail business models to the new paradigm of the marketplace will be successful. Most retail research concentrates on online retail. Instead this research discusses how technology can add value to brick-and-mortar retail. Retail is a crucial component of the U.S. economy. U.S. retail sales in the United States were $4.36 trillion USD in 2012. The greatest portion of retail sales growth has come from online sales, which is 5.2% of total retail sales. The line between brick-and-mortar and online retail is beginning to blur. At the same time retailers are trying to ensure that the overall consumer experience is seamless at all customer touch-points. This is becoming more difficult, since the Internet and Smartphones have changed the way in which consumers and retailers interact. Therefore, when addressing the Omni-channel retailers must frame this as an organizational change process, since this piece of the equation is just as important as the technological component. Additionally, we consider how the retail selling process might translate into digital retail. Lastly, this paper examines the explosive growth of the mobile app industry and how the fashion retail industry can benefit from this.

Abstract:
Nei paesi dell’area mediterranea, come Italia e Spagna, numerosi edifici, sono realizzati in muratura, e questo li rende vulnerabili alle azioni sismiche. I terremoti avvenuti in passato, hanno permesso, attraverso lo studio dei danneggiamenti prodotti, di comprendere le vulnerabilità di questi edifici e anche di valutare l’effettivo miglioramento o peggioramento delle diverse tecniche adoperate nel corso degli anni. Nel corso degli ultimi anni ,diverse tecniche innovative sono state sviluppate, tra cui l’uso di TRM (Textile Reinforced Mortar), risulta essere una delle migliori scelte data la reversibilità dell’intervento e la buona compatibilità con la muratura. Nonostante ciò, al momento non sono disponibili procedimenti analitici, per la valutazione dell’ incremento di resistenza a taglio di strutture rinforzate con TRM. L’obiettivo di questa tesi è di analizzare il cambio di comportamento di provini testati a compressione semplice e diagonale, rinforzati con TRM. I risultati ottenuti dalla campagna sperimentale, serviranno alla calibrazione di modelli numerici realizzati in SAP2000. I modelli, basati solo sull’uso di elementi non lineari “shell-layered”, vogliono costituire un modello semplice, riutilizzabile dal progettista per l’analisi di strutture più complesse. Successivamente i dati raccolti durante la campagna sperimentale sono stati utilizzati per la ricerca di formule analitiche, che permettano di valutare l’incremento della resistenza a taglio di strutture rinforzate. I provini rinforzati sono in grado di sorreggere un carico ultimo pari al doppio dei non rinforzati, con un aumento della deformazione orizzontale al limite elastico e della capacità di dissipazione di energia. Il rinforzo in TRM è quindi in grado di migliorare il comportamento di strutture in muratura soggette ad azioni orizzontali, ed i modelli creati con SAP2000, si sono dimostrati validi per simulare il comportamento di strutture in muratura rinforzate e non rinforzate.

Abstract:
Retail is changing as technology is growing. The traditional way of shopping has evolved thanks to mobile devices, and retailers are struggling to avoid customers’ attrition. Customers are immersed in a seamless omnichannel experience that allows them to switch from channel to channel and search for the most convenient way of shopping at all times. In this context, retailers have to compete not only with other brands but also with other channels of the same brand, and this situation makes it difficult for them to develop new ways of engaging the customers and create loyalty programs to make the most of their investments in the stores. Effective product recommendation has become one of the key selling strategies employed everywhere, from brick-and-mortar stores to omnichannel retail, in order to increase sales and revenues and to increase repeat purchases from the same retail store and brand. The goal of this PhD Thesis is divided into two interrelated purposes: (1) to identify which are the trigger factors that motivate customers on the choice of each shopping channel and (2) to provide retailers with an algorithm that optimises the mix of recommended products in a brick-and-mortar store so as to provide the customer with an additional experience and engage them to the retail store. To reach those objectives we have analysed the different trends in the purchase process online and offline under the multichannel or omnichannel strategies. The methodology combines an exhaustive revision of academic literature about omnichannel strategies as well as reports from specialised consultant companies so as to define the trends and the factors that motivate customers towards one or another shopping path. As for the second study, with the goal of maximizing the total attractiveness value for the visiting customers to retail shops, and considering a multi-period tie horizon, we have studied how to determine an assortment of products to be included in display tables. In order to deal with the underlying optimization problem, a biased-randomized heuristic is proposed. In a first stage, it constructs an initial feasible solution. In a second stage, this initial solution is improved by employing a local search mechanism. A set of instances has been generated to test the approach. Different product-selection methodologies have been tested to illustrate the potential benefits of the proposed algorithm. The findings of the first study indicate that there are common trigger factors for every shopping channel and for every stage of the purchase path. As regards the second study, recommending a set of correlated and attractive products on retail display tables that vary often is a promising way to engage customers with such an attractive experience. The result of this research will allow retailers to face omnichannel strategies in such a way that they manage to engage and retain customers avoiding attrition and optimising their investments. Being able to know what is the best selection of products that best appeal to customers, provides a rationalization of the stock shown at every store and increases productivity of the employees in charge of such stock decisions.
El comerç minorista està canviant a mesura que la tecnologia està creixent. La forma tradicional de comprar ha evolucionat gràcies als dispositius mòbils, i els minoristes estan lluitant per evitar la pèrdua de clients. Els clients estan immersos en una experiència omnicanal perfecta que els permet anar de canal en canal i buscar la forma més convenient de comprar en tot moment. En aquest context, els minoristes han de competir no només amb altres marques, sinó també amb altres canals de la mateixa marca, i aquesta situació els dificulta desenvolupar noves formes d'involucrar els clients i crear programes de lleialtat per aprofitar al màxim les seves inversions en les botigues. La recomanació efectiva de productes s'ha convertit en una de les estratègies de venda clau emprades en el comerç en general per augmentar les vendes i ingressos i augmentar les compres repetides a la mateixa botiga i marca. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral es divideix en dos propòsits interrelacionats: (1) identificar quins són els factors desencadenants que motiven als clients en l'elecció de cada canal de compres i (2) proporcionar als minoristes un algoritme que optimitzi la combinació de productes recomanats en una botiga física per a proporcionar al client una experiència addicional i atreure'ls a la botiga. Per assolir aquests objectius, hem analitzat les diferents tendències en el procés de compra tant en un entorn físic com virtual sota les estratègies multicanal o omnicanal. La metodologia combina una revisió exhaustiva de la literatura acadèmica sobre estratègies omnicanal, així com informes d'empreses consultores especialitzades per a definir les tendències i els factors que motiven als clients cap a una o altra via de compra. Pel que fa al segon estudi, amb l'objectiu de maximitzar el valor d'atractiu total per als clients visitants a les botigues minoristes, i considerant un horitzó d'enllaç de múltiples períodes, hem estudiat com determinar un assortiment de productes per incloure a les taules d'exposició de productes. Per abordar el problema d'optimització subjacent, es proposa una heurística aleatòria esbiaixada. En una primera etapa, es construeix una solució factible inicial. En una segona etapa, aquesta solució inicial es millora en emprar un mecanisme de cerca local. S'han generat un conjunt d'instàncies per provar l'enfocament. S'han provat diferents metodologies de selecció de productes per a il·lustrar els beneficis potencials de l'algoritme proposat. Els resultats del primer estudi indiquen que hi ha factors desencadenants comuns per a cada canal de compres i per a cada etapa de la ruta de compra. Pel que fa al segon estudi, recomanar un conjunt de productes correlacionats i atractius a les taules expositores que varien sovint és una forma prometedora d'atraure els clients a la botiga física. El resultat d'aquesta investigació permetrà als minoristes dissenyar estratègies omnicanal de tal manera que aconsegueixin atreure i retenir els clients evitant la pèrdua de clients i optimitzant les seves inversions. Ser capaç de saber quina és la millor selecció de productes que millor atrau els clients, proporciona una racionalització de l'estoc que es mostra en cada botiga i augmenta la productivitat dels empleats a càrrec d'aquestes decisions d'estoc.

This thesis proposes a novel fulfillment algorithm which maximizes profits and customer experience through optimal distribution in a multi-period setting for a set of shipping locations that includes both stores and online-only warehouses. Myopic methods do not account for the temporal aspects of the problem. For example, a store should not ship an item to an online customer if there is high expected future demand for that item in-store. Instead, that item should be shipped from a store or warehouse where future expected demand is lower. This optimal choice of fulfillment location increases system-wide profits by preventing cannibalization as well as potentially selling the item before it reaches the sales period. The proposed algorithm also considers important variables related to customer experience such as the amount of time the order will take to be delivered. This algorithm was designed and tested at Zara, a subsidiary of Inditex S.A. A mixed integer program with two periods accounting for expected demand now and in the future is shown to optimally solve for how to fulfill any arbitrary order. However, this algorithm is intractable at larger order sizes. In this case, we create an online algorithm based on a heuristic. Use of this algorithm increases the total expected profit from any unit of inventory entering a store or warehouse by minimizing cannibalization and shipping costs. In addition, this algorithm minimizes the need for inventory re-allocation across the network. At Zara this algorithm was shown to improve the objective function by roughly 0.4% on a system-wide basis as compared to a myopic approach.

The brick types investigated were obtained from the UK,Denmark, Lithuania and Poland. Cement was partially replaced by various quantities and types of ground brick in mortar and concrete. Compressive strength, pore size distribution and sorptivity of mortar generally all benefit from the presence of ground brick and the greatest effect can be seen after water curing for one year. Compressive strength of concrete is also shown to increase as the fineness of ground brick increases although the optimum particle size for ground brick in concrete is still to be determined. The ground bricks investigated have a significant effect on the performance of ground brick mortar when exposed to sodium sulphate solution and synthetic seawater. It is seen that depending on the chemical and phase composition, the effect of ground brick can increase substantially the rate of deterioration of mortar or can reduce significantly the expansion observed. No definite mechanism was identified as being responsible for the observed deterioration of mortar exposed to sodium sulphate solution although it seems likely that water intake due to ettringite formation and adsorption of water by the resultant colloidal product are the primary causes of expansion. Sulphate content, glass content and oxide chemistry of brick are key factors as to its performance when used as a cement replacement material in mortar. Bricks with a high proportion of low calcium glass make very effective pozzolans. Bricks with high calcium glass or a low proportion of glass should not be used as pozzolans. Small amounts of sulphate in ground brick do not have any serious deleterious effects on ground brick mortars and can be beneficial. It is established that it is technically feasible to partially replace cement with ground brick in mortar and concrete, depending on its chemical and phase composition to produce a more durable, cost effective and (due to the lower cement content) a less environmentally damaging material than that produced without cement replacement.

Abstract:
Craftsmen of past generations built to last, and the brick buildings they constructed can last for centuries if they are not mistreated. Although brick masonry is one of the most durable building materials, its durability can be threatened by improper cleaning and repointing techniques and materials. Many brick surfaces have been--and currently are being--disfigured, and the rate of deterioration often accelerated, because of the lack of knowledge of proper preservation techniques for historic bricks and mortar.This field guide provides a single source of information regarding inspection of historic brick buildings; the causes of deterioration, diagnoses and treatments; appropriate materials and methods for repointing; various cleaning methods; and surface coatings (including waterproof and water-repellent coatings, paint and stucco). This manual can be used to assist persons responsible for the care of old and historic brick buildings: owners of houses or commercial buildings, administrators, architects, contractors, and anyone else who wants to maintain or sympathetically restore or rehabilitate brick buildings.While masonry work generally should only be done by professionals, this field guide will enable a building owner or administrator to understand proper preservation techniques and oversee the project to ensure that the architect or contractor is following the recommended preservation procedures. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History will use this creative project as a reference manual and as a handout to persons undertaking restoration of historic brick buildings.Historic architecture is a viable link between generations of the past and those of the present and future. Proper maintenance and restoration techniques can ensure that a historic brick building will endure for generations to come.

Abstract:
Purpose - The purpose of this study was to deepen the understanding of how showrooming affect the exploited brick-and-mortar businesses. This was done by investigating an industry characterized by high levels of employee knowledge where the expertise of the personnel create showrooming incentives. Methodology - The study applied a qualitative case study where semi-structured interviews was held with employees of a firm representing the case of an exploited firm. Findings - The empirical findings suggest that showrooming may affect the exploited firm in the areas; profits, offerings, channels, and personnel. Profit-losses due to showrooming may force the exploited firm to reduce number of personnel and working hours, decrease store areas and close of unprofitable stores, change the product and services offered, change how products are displayed, and in what channels the products are available. Further it may give rise to internal channel conflicts, and affect personnel motivation and sales performance. Practical Implications - A perceived showroomer should be treated as a paying customer to avoid misjudgment of character and a loss in service level. Private labels and exclusive selling rights allow for higher profits while reducing showrooming opportunities. In addition to this, rewards for cross-channel retention, synchronized channel information, and price consistency across channels may reduce internal conflicts. Contribution - This study contributes to the young research area of showrooming by assessing the effects an exploited firm may encounter when faced with showroomers.

Abstract:
The purpose of this panel is to compare the long existing "Brick and Mortar” (BM) universities with the new E-Learning (EL) universities. The comparison is based on the type of people (lecturers, students, teaching assistants), and activities (lecture, lab, seminar, office hours, library usage, one-on-one meeting, working together, testing, etc.) that are involved. In this panel we will not deal with the commercial aspects and prospects of either learning methods. The result of the panel is not necessarily a clear conclusion on which method is better, more likely it will help the participants to consider which method is better in a given situation. For example: if you live in a lone farm in the middle of nowhere then E-Learning is the right solution for you. However, if you want to experiment with chemistry then you better be in a real laboratory.
