The provision of services in a community is often taken for granted, or done the way things have always been done. It is sensible to examine those practices to see if the system in place is advantageous to all parties involved. This paper examines the forms of municipal trash collection used in the United States and specifically Manhattan, Kansas. This examination includes a literature review of forms of solid waste collection and how informed vs. uninformed consumers act when purchasing goods and services. The specific traits of seven municipal trash service providers in Manhattan are analyzed. The findings of this project include a spread in prices that economic theory alone may not explain. These finding, supported by literature, would suggest that there is a breakdown in the transfer of information between service providers and consumers.

While understanding consumer decisions about food choices is complex, the nature of wines makes it even more difficult to decipher how consumers arrive at their choices. Given the perceived importance of "local", how willing are consumers to pay for locally-produced wine? And, what characteristics of the wine influence the premium that consumers pay for it? These are the two related questions that this research seeks to address. The research uses a case study approach to explore how five wine characteristics of local Kansas wine influence the premium consumers are willing to pay. The five characteristics are appearance, aroma, body, taste and finish. The study uses four pairs of wine in the following groups: sweet white, dry white, semi-sweet red and dry red. Each pair is made up of a Kansas wine and a non-Kansas wine. A very well-defined set of focus group participants were invited to taste these wine without knowing the identity of the wines and score them according to their characteristics and then provide an indication of how much they are willing to pay. The case results indicate that the focus group participants were willing to discount Kansas wines in all cases of the four pairs. The factors affecting the discount were finish for sweet white wines, appearance for sweet red wines, taste and aroma for dry white and dry red wines. The implication of this exploratory case study is that while most local residents proclaim their willingness to pay a premium for local wines, when tested against national or international competitors, consumers are unwilling to pay a premium for these local wines because the local wines lack the desired quality the international wines have. The information is important because it provides direction for an entrepreneur seeking to develop local wines to focus on understanding and addressing the characteristics which influence consumers' willingness to pay a premium even as she determines which particular wines current players in the local Kansas industry has the potential to be competitive if they address the characteristics upon which they are penalized by consumers. This, despite this being an exploratory case study, it provides important direction for entrepreneurial action.

Farmer-to-consumer direct marketing institutions have expanded significantly in the last decades. In particular, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has developed exponentially in the US and in Europe. CSAs consist of a contract in which the consumer buys a share of the farm production at the beginning of the season and receive in exchange a bundle of products regularly. CSAs still account for a marginal share of food sales today and many questions remain unanswered, such as the level of knowledge of the general public about CSA, the potential size of the market, its consumer characteristics, and the main motivations and barriers that lead consumers to either join or not join CSAs. This study focused on addressing these questions for the Kansas City area and the central region in France. Another objective was to give recommendations to farmers on how to develop CSAs. Two versions of the surveys were designed and conducted in the US and in France to address the objectives. Particularly, two types of questions were used in order to elicit willingness to pay (WTP): an open-ended question and a choice experiment. A Tobit model and discrete choice models were run to analyze results from the open-ended question and the choice experiment, respectively. Results show that around 80 percent of the population knew little about CSAs. The understanding of the demand for CSAs shows that a potential market, accounting for around 25 percent of the population, exists, but consumers are very exigent and farmers need to provide well-considered contracts to attract consumers. Recommendations to farmers are presented following the 4P method. For the Product, the variety offered seems to be the most important point. For Price, it has been estimated from the demand at $300 in the US and €400 in France for a basic share. Promotion would need to focus on education. Having various delivery locations would be the best option concerning Place; home delivery was found to be unnecessary. Tendencies found in the US and in France were similar except for educational activities: the French are looking more for these opportunities than Americans who care more about convenience.

It is a great challenge for vegetarian customers to choose a suitable restaurant. In the case of fast and easy, buffet become the first choice for lots of people. However, there are still few restaurants afford food for vegetarian. If the research can find the innovation services which potential customers are looking for, it could increase opportunities of vegetarian restaurants and help them extend customer base to unusual vegetarian. Once the numbers of vegetarian restaurants increase, it would also benefit vegetarian. This research investigates customers’ perception of "dining environment", "taste", "overall service", and "marketing activities" of vegetarian restaurants through Kano two-dimensional quality model. The researcher modified from scale of documents, and composes the questionnaire after discussing with experts. Subjects are people who have been to vegetarian restaurants, and collecting data is analyzed by convenience sampling. There were 458 questionnaires be distributed to staff, and 454 valid questionnaires were received, with a response rate of 99%. The research shows that (1) the most important thing of the environment is neat and bright; the main consumer market area is the place which have good transport facilities. Comparing to most traditional vegetarian restaurants which have obvious religious symbols, modern people prefer the vegetarian restaurant with fashion style design. (2) Ingredients should be original with light taste, and customers prefer new dishes. Most of non-vegans sometimes choosing vegetarian restaurants base on health; therefore, they would prefer to choose ingredients in season and choose the cooking method that can keep original flavor. They don’t like strong flavor or greasy. In addition, V they hope vegetarian food can have more different new taste, or the restaurants can even provide some foreign cuisine such as Indian curry or Italian Pizza. (3) Professional can make customer eat at ease. Hanging cook license in restaurants can increase professionality of restaurants. Then, if waiters can clearly understanding the main ingredient and cooking method; notice customers and say ”welcome” when they enter the restaurant, it can let customers feel at home. Moreover, it is better for restaurants to provide a customer suggestion box or 0800 customer service hotline for customers to express their opinions. And, they also hope restaurants can provide receipt. These would gain customers’ favorable impression. (4)Health and Longevity become social tendency. The motion why people eat vegetarian is definite. Therefore, they would not influence by food TV programs or celebrity endorsements. On the other hand, they would influence by public service image or awareness of environment protection more than marketing activities held by restaurant. This result reflects that regardless of it is based on religious, environmental or health factors, these customers have a higher public awareness. This study is expected to provide analysis results for vegetarian restaurants as a reference for future operating and service strategy; moreover, to improve overall quality of vegetarian restaurant and in line with the trend of healthy diet.

This research is mainly to explore “the key demands of consumers for buying eye-care healthy food”. First, using the modified Delphi method to find out the core demands. Passing through the in-depth interview with experts and literature collection to sort out the structural questionnaire. Using the Likert scale to converge expert’s opinions to consolidate the important and consistent product properties. Using Kanos model to explore “the key demands of consumers for buying eye-care healthy food”. To understand which product properties are valued by consumers? Which product properties are not valued but be over-provisioned ? Providing some information of consumer demands for improving sequencing and resource allocation. This research for converging the product properties is retained the opinions of the experts on the importance and consistency of consensus. Sorting out 20 product properties which including the absorption, availability, quality, safety, effectiveness, effective for symptoms, convenience, efficacy, professionalism, compliance with specifications, omnidirectional treatment, identification, recognition, high efficiency, reliability, price, promotion, convenient and fast, easy to take, nature. Using the questionnaire with “have” and “partially” instead of using “have” and “do not have” as the Kano’s model for research and analysis. The product properties are classified into five categories according to the definition of Kanos model. There are “Attractive quality element”, “One-dimensional quality element”, “Must-be quality element”, “Indifferent quality element” and ”Reverse quality element”. The “Must-be quality element” must be provided. Otherwise, it will lead to dissatisfaction. The “One-dimensional quality element” should be as much as possible and avoid missing. “Attractive quality element” will be used as a competitive strategy to increase sales. The “Reverse quality element” should be avoided as much as possible. The “Indifferent quality element” whether it is available or not will not have much impact, so it can be ruled out under the consideration of cost reduction.

In the twentieth century, computer is the most powerful invention. Because it changes people’s work type and improve the quality of life. It influences people a lot. But when it comes into twenty-first century, the importance of computer industry seems to be replaced by communication industry which focuses on mobile communication. In Taiwan, the quantities of mobile phone users are over ten million in the end of 1999 and it has exceeded ordinary phone users. An average of 1/2 people in Taiwan own mobile phones. The quantity of mobile phone user is over the user of ordinary phone and the quantity of computer. Now the user of mobile phone is growing up with amazing speed and cause many factories join in the research and development. But for customers, they don’t need every quality attribution. The definition of quality would be different as the time changes. Now the definition of quality is based on the customer satisfaction. Therefore, many factories believe that the customer satisfaction investigation is really important. In the past, the viewpoint for quality is one-dimensioned. It means that the customer satisfaction has a positive relationship with quality. However, we could not figure out the really opinions for quality from customers only by one-dimensioned quality to measure the value of commodities or service which on customers’ mind. Kano san improve the defects of one-dimensioned quality and bring up two-dimension quality model which includes must-be quality, one-dimensioned quality, attractive quality, indifferent quality, and reverse quality to measure the customer satisfaction for commodities and service. This study applies Kano’s two-dimensioned quality model on mobile phone’s commodities to confer customers’ demand for mobile phone quality. We could apply Kano’s two-dimensioned quality model to design the investigation sheet and have a sampling to figure out five different mobile phone qualities from customers. The result of this investigation shows that indifferent quality item is in the majority and the next are must-be quality and one-dimensioned quality and there is no reverse quality. The result of this study shows that: (1)In the 20 items, 1 item is classified as attractive quality, 2 items are classified as one-dimensional quality, 9 items are classified as indifferent quality, and 8 items are classified as must-be quality. There is no reverse quality. The most attributions are belonging to two-dimensioned. (2)This study uses Matzler and Hinterhuber’s quality improvement index to calculate the extent of satisfaction and extent of dissatisfaction. The result of study could be for reference to improve the quality.

With the awakening of the brand generations, consumer market was changed from original producer-oriented to consumer orientation. Therefore, consumer demand has become an important issue. After the understanding of consumer demand, how to maintain the loyalty of consumers repeat purchasing, Is an important part of the study to the current market and product’s design and development. Taiwan’s furniture industry was the major industry on the global export. However, in recent years as the global liberalization, internationalization and technological innovation, international competitive pressures have become more intense.In medium and small enterprises of the furniture industry, production and development processes is almost consider by responsible person of the company and marketing staff in cost-based producer. It does not meet the current needs of the consumer-oriented market. If to enhance consumer demand for product from development design and development phase, Can not only make furniture production to achieve balance between the needs of producers and consumers, but also to enhance the designers of the importance of traditional industries. This study explored consumer buying behavior for furniture products, with consumer behavior research, Help furniture industry to clarify the emphasis on consumer needs and attitudes of product value. In this study, questionnaires by Kano’s two-dimensional quality model survey the furniture product’s properties of elements are classified for the consumer. And use Customer satisfaction coefficient to explore overall consumer satisfaction, to establishment the furniture product development strategies. This study suggests that the idea of planning in the development of front-end part of the market research and consumer demand data collection and to enhance new product functionality on research and development. To design a unique type of consideration In middle stages of product design development. Part of the follow-up sales service is to enhance the sales channel management and education. Understand consumer satisfaction with the furniture products to help sort the development process, to enhance the importance of designers in the furniture manufacturing industry, and to producers and consumers demand balance.
