Abstract:
The density of convenience stores in Taiwan is the highest in the world. Among the numerous commodities, the market competition for fresh food products is the fiercest and has become a focus of convenience store operations. Due to the change in Taiwanese lifestyles and consumer acceptance of the dining-out model, the demand and supply of fresh food products in convenience stores continues to increase. To benefit marketing performance, not only do convenience stores carry out promotional activities by reducing the price of products but they constantly innovate the taste and variety of fresh food products. For example, the tide of Taiwanese bento, during which promotions were implemented in the President Chain Store, has changed consumer diet habits; despite the raised price, consumers are still willing to purchase the product. However, convenient, real-time fresh food brought by this convenience store usually causes a massive waste of food. In its manufacturing and production processes, the food production chain ranks among the top three for national greenhouse gases. Whenever a piece of food is wasted, greenhouse gases are produced. Moreover, more resources are consumed to dispose of the wasted foods and garbage, further increasing greenhouse gas emissions and multiplying the carbon footprint. The phenomenon of excessive food waste has become an urgent issue in recent years in Taiwan, which is famous for its convenient food culture and service. In addition, because of Taiwan’s special economic development status, as well as rapid urbanization and family structure change, the ways to jointly affect this special consumption and food culture have become a topic worthy of discussion. Therefore, this research selected cooked food products in convenience stores as the main subject to explore the effect of social status and diet consumption from the perspective of daily social patterns and family structure data. It also examined the dilemma of excessive waste of food, to provide improvement advice as a reference to future relevant social policies and research.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine the important structures of store image and how to improve a hypermarket's store image to affect customer willingness to return. This study found that the greater shopping convenience, a complete range of products, good service, and regular activities, the greater customer loyalty. The store atmosphere has no significant impact on enhancing customer loyalty. Many store customers do not pay much attention to the quality of physical and software equipment in the store, but more attention to convenience, commodity integrity, good service, and regular activities. Whether a hypermarket can provide good service is a key niche for showing its competitiveness among its competitors. The results show that the more convenient the shopping convenience, the better the service, and the more regular activities a store provides, the less likely a customer will switch to other stores for shopping.

Abstract:
Electronic commerce in the world is becoming an increasingly popular form of trade. Most shoppers start looking for products, descriptions and quality features online before buying a product. In order to provide customers with more convenience, more and more companies and existing stores are setting up their own online stores where a person can buy at a convenient time, even at night when regular stores are no longer working. Online stores allow you to save time spent by a person searching for a particular product and driving through shops. The article analyzes the concept of e-commerce, the advantages and disadvantages of electronic commerce, and the situation of electronic commerce in Lithuania.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective Little is known about customer purchases of foods and beverages from small and non-traditional food retailers (i.e. corner stores, gas-marts, dollar stores and pharmacies). The present study aimed to: (i) describe customer characteristics, shopping frequency and reasons for shopping at small and non-traditional food retailers; and (ii) describe food/beverage purchases and their nutritional quality, including differences across store type. Design Data were collected through customer intercept interviews. Nutritional quality of food/beverage purchases was analysed; a Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) score for purchases was created by aggregating participant purchases at each store. Setting Small and non-traditional food stores that were not WIC-authorized in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN, USA. Subjects Customers (n 661) from 105 food retailers. Results Among participants, 29 % shopped at the store at least once daily; an additional 44 % shopped there at least once weekly. Most participants (74 %) cited convenient location as the primary draw to the store. Customers purchased a median of 2262 kJ (540 kcal), which varied by store type (P=0·04). The amount of added sugar far surpassed national dietary recommendations. At dollar stores, participants purchased a median of 5302 kJ (1266 kcal) for a median value of $US 2·89. Sugar-sweetened beverages were the most common purchase. The mean HEI-2010 score across all stores was 36·4. Conclusions Small and non-traditional food stores contribute to the urban food environment. Given the poor nutritional quality of purchases, findings support the need for interventions that address customer decision making in these stores.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop policy recommendations for creating a healthy food environment around convenience stores which has been recently extending beyond the retail to the food retail and even to the foodservice market in South Korea. Design/methodology/approach This study was based on case studies of evaluating the nutritional quality of lunch box products sold by the Korean big 3 convenience store brands (CU, GS25 and 7-Eleven) as meal replacements. Samples of all lunch box products sold during October 2016 in Asan city, South Korea were collected for nutritional quality evaluation. Findings The amount of food items in the “Meats/Fish/Eggs/Legume” food group was 2.4 times the recommended intake, while that in the “Vegetables” food group was even less than one serving size. The most frequent cooking method both for the animal- and plant-based food groups was stir-frying. The average calories fell short of the reference value for men but exceeded it for women. The percentage energy contribution from fats exceeded the reference range. The average amounts of protein, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium were higher than recommended. Originality/value This study calls attention to the necessity and importance of establishing a healthy food environment around convenience stores, given the ever-growing reliance on these establishments as a go-to spot for a convenient meal. The results may also provide useful insights for developing countries in Asia, which are being spotlighted as the emerging markets for convenience stores.

Abstract:
The presence of essential amenities, such as grocery stores, parks, and employment, within convenient distances impacts individuals’ travel behavior and quality of life. Whereas what is perceived as a convenient distance varies among individuals, the goal of this research is to better understand perceived convenience in the context of differing lifestyles, sociodemographic characteristics, and personal preferences. Using an online travel behavior survey with a sample of 711 residents from Calgary, Canada, we segmented individuals into eight distinct groups based on travel behavior and personal characteristics. We then examined their perceived convenience to reach various amenities among each group, and the actual distances to these amenities. Our results reveal eight distinct typologies that differ according to mode choice, lifestyle, neighborhood characteristics, and trip satisfaction. We observe that distance negatively affects reported convenience to work, grocery stores, and parks, but reported convenience is also closely related to modes available as well as to transport and home location options that meet individuals’ preferences. Typologies in which individuals are able to select their preferred transport options or home location typically report a higher convenience of access to various destinations, and this is especially true for typologies with high cycling, walking, and public transport mode shares. This study demonstrates the importance of providing individuals with a variety of affordable options in relation to transport mode and home locations, which can be of interest to researchers and planners concerned with improving convenience of access to local amenities by sustainable modes.

Abstract:
Purpose Despite huge investments within the modern trade arena, Vietnam remains a traditional trade retailing country. The purpose of this paper is to establish the combined effects of motivation, store attributes and demographic factors on the predictive outcome of store format choice in Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach A logistic regression model is used to determine the effect of these factors on the predictive outcome of traditional markets or supermarkets in purchasing non-food products or processed food products. Findings The dichotomy between what supermarkets and traditional markets have to offer is simple but effective. Utilitarian-motivated shoppers are more likely to shop at traditional markets. They emphasize the need to buy products quickly, find a good price, with less travel time and hence lower travel costs. Hedonistic shoppers are motivated by feelings of happiness; they shop to relieve stress and to keep up with trends. Significant difference in store choice also exists between older and higher income shoppers. Research limitations/implications Future research should examine the sociocultural dimensions of shopping at traditional stores by exploring how such shopping relates to, and is embedded in, the formation and changes of individual identity, especially in communities outside of Ho Chi Minh City where shoppers are almost entirely dependent on traditional stores. Practical implications Traditional stores have the benefit of convenient location and savings in both time and travel costs. These benefits are being eroded as supermarkets and transnational retail corporations establish new stores close to the traditional stores. Social implications Shopping at traditional markets is part of the social culture and is embedded in individuals’ identity formation, despite increasing urbanization and shoppers’ higher incomes. Originality/value This study comprehensively explores the interactions between store choice and motivation, store attributes and demographic factors, taking into account contemporary and contextually relevant factors.

Abstract:
This thesis examines how inter-firm relationships and routines influence the process and outcomes of new service development (NSD). The research questions addressed are: 1) How do inter-firm relationships and routines influence the speed of NSD? and 2) In what ways do the different types of service development affect inter-firm relationships and organisational routines associated with the speed of NSD? Prior research has emphasized the importance of cooperating with other organizations to exploit external sources of knowledge and capabilities, but relatively little is known about the specific mechanisms to achieve this and how these affect the outcomes of new service development. This research contributes to the literature on new service development and innovation networks. The research design consists of comparative case studies and draws on empirical evidence from the development of two contrasting e-commerce services in the four dominant Taiwanese convenience store chains. In total 52 interviews were conducted with members of staff of convenience store chains and suppliers. The interviews were analyzed using the thematic framework approach, which represents the patterns and relationships in the interview data. Cross-case synthesis was chosen as the analytical technique to summarize the findings from the individual cases. The present study found that trust and interdependence have positive influence on the speed of NSD. Intensity of inter-firm collaboration has a negative effect on the speed of NSD under some circumstances (e.g. task complexity and project newness). Moreover, the relationship between organizational routines for knowledge transfer and the speed of NSD may vary under different degrees of project newness. The thesis demonstrates the interaction of organizational and project level characteristics in new service development, and the multi-dimensional nature of service development compared to that of conventional product development.

Abstract:
The starting point of this dissertation is the increasing number of Swedish consumers who use the Internet forshopping. Convenience is said to be an important ground for this choice. However, there are few studies thatattempt to understand the true meaning of convenience. This study sets out to understand what convenienceentails for Internet shoppers, what characterizes a convenient Internet shopper, what charterizes a convenientonline product or service, and finally how different meanings of convenience can be explained in differentshopping situations. The purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding of consumers’ conveniencegrounds when shopping online. Qualitative data was collected from 24 respondents, 12 female and 12 male,living in the Swedish cities of Örnsköldsvik, Stockholm, Göteborg and Borås. Data collection was mainlyconducted by means of group interviews and additional personal interviews, questionnaries and shoppingexperiment observations. The study has its theoretical outlook based in convenience literature, and conveniencemotives when choosing a particular store, however, adjusted to better fit the phenomenon of onlineshopping.This theoretical approach emphasizes different dimensions of convenience and gives special insight intoremote shopping consumers. Results show that convenience is an important ground for Internet shopping.Convenience in this context, can be seen from a psychological and/or behavioural perspective. However,grounds for convenience entail efficiency and rationality reasons for all of the respondents included in thestudy. These results indicate that convenience is best understood by using a resource efficiency approach.When using this approach the study shows the importance among the respondents to save time and energy,both from a psychological as well as a physiological perspective. Another useful explanation in order tounderstand the meaning of convenience is to use consumers’ descriptions of themselves as planned orimpulsive. In most cases the respondents describe themselves as planned consumers, which in turn indicatethat the use of a resource efficency perspective is valuable.It is a great variety of products and services described as convenient, however the study pinpoints twoexceptions: home electronic devices and tickets. The study shows that one reason for the differences inconsumers’ convenience perceptions is how time is perceived. Another reason is how customer perceivespsychological or physiological energy. A third reason is how they perceive security and safety. Another importantresult is that convenience differs between women and men in the study. The female consumer givespriority to saving time and saving physical energy. The male consumer gives priority to timing. The study’s resultscan help online businesses to identify how their customers perceive convenience to better designcommunication, virtual store, information, payment and deliviery according to their wants and needs. Anotherpractical implication drawn from the findings is to use direct delivery when possible and offer home delivery.

Abstract:
Subjects, 432 convenience store cashiers, were divided into long-tenure and short-tenure groups. Chi-square analysis of application blank information for a weighting sample drawn from both groups revealed two items which significantly (p < .05) differentiated between the long tenure and short-tenure groups: number of previous jobs and full-time/part-time preference. Response weights were computed for these two items and used to calculate composite scores for the remaining holdout sample. A significant reduction in turnover would have occurred at the highest composite score level, if used as a hiring cut off. Results were tempered by several considerations, including a high percentage of false negatives and an insignificant linear relationship between composite scores and tenure.

Abstract:
This study researches the topic customer service of convenience sores. Two objectives are set, namely to measure the customer service levels of convenience stores, and then to determine if any differences exist between customer perceptions and customer expectations. The literature review covers two models of service quality, namely the Kano model and the SERVQUAL model. Both the Kano model and the SERVQUAL model are client service models that currently exist in practice. The Kano model provides insights into the dynamics of customer preferences and their needs, which ensures the delivery of successful products and services. The SERVQUAL method is a technique that can be used for performing a gap analysis of an organisation's service quality performance against customer service quality needs. Because of SERVQUAL's strong empirically based methodology and popularity amongst services organisations who aims to improve their service quality, SERVQUAL is the research methodology of choice. The empirical research was done by collecting primary data from a selected group, using the SERVQUAL questionnaire to measure customer expectation and customer perception. The sample size is 65 respondents, and they all responded by completing the structured SERVQUAL questionnaires. A seven-point Likert scale was used in the questionnaire. A "1" was labelled as "strongly disagree" while a "7" was labelled as "strongly agree". The reliability of the data was confirmed by means of Cronbach alpha and a-values of 0.879 (customers' perceptions) and 0.906 (customers' expectations) showed satisfactory reliability. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to calculate mean values of the criteria while principle factor analyses were employed to extract factors from both groups of data. The factors pertaining to the perceived service has been identified as Employee Mind-Set (explaining the variance of 29.72%), Excellent Service (19.14%) and Display (8.92%). Regarding the factor analysis of the expected levels of service, the factors identified are: Employee Mindset (35.78%), Service Reputation (25.22%) and Transactions (5.90%). From the research it became evident that the three major recommendations to managers of convenience stores who aims to improve their service quality are managerial actions focussed at: *Internal training. *Induction programmes *Surveys (further research and monitoring).

These characteristic can be seen as the results of the combination of community and chained industrial culture. Under further study, we understood that the multiple culture in which those sited are barring. This study used the method of qualitative participatory observation, allowed us can gather the data and interact with the object without them know that the conversation is essentially a interview. After gathering the data, we analyzed the results and conclude the senses that are common. This stud analyzed the senses in different aspect, special, intellectual and emotional and discussed the reason behind them. 　　We can see that there are three aspect of conception of the consumer on convenient store space: special, consuming cognition and consuming perception. Furthermore, the spaces in convenient stores are filled with the sense of humanity, beauty, ethics, socialization and commercial which all reflects the human characteristic. We can see that from the results, the consumers are more likely to identified themselves to the atmosphere, planning and the character of the convenient store. The consumers also expressed that the sense of kindness, trust, and dependency are a substantial part of their lives. Like a third place, a place to rest, a place to be social. Furthermore, the consumers also implied that the convenient stores is the best logistics center, storage, transfer station, a place to start a company, a place to study, a place to have a quick meal and even a corner for dogs to cool themselves in.

There are approximately 9,230 chain convenient stores in Taiwan till April 2011, the highest density in the world. Within these few years, the quantity of convenient stores in Taiwan already comes into the saturation stage. Consumers come along with tightening spending, and the convenient stores’ owners meet slow growth in the market. Therefore, in response to changes in the market, convenient stores industry has to find new business models and elements, and tries to work with bread dealers.This research aims to find out the reasons why consumers buy baked bread in convenient stores, to analyze consumers’ behavior and motivations, and to know more about the groups of the consumers. The study on the reseach do a survey via to understand people who ever bought baked bread in 7-11, Family Mart, Hi-Life convenient stores in central Taiwan. The results show that consumers choose to buy baked bread in convenience stores for following concerns: Quality, Safety, Convenience, and Promotion. The statistical data show that consumers are mainly aged at 21-40 years old, majority of university level educated, and largely of students group. That is to say, considering setting up bakery in convenient stores nearby college campus will be a good choice. In addition, consumers buy baked bread for breakfast or snacks during meals for alternative. By now, convenient store bakeries are not well known by consumers, so owners should promote and advertise more and better for market expansion.

The starting point of this study is to re-exam the cultural conflict between the new and the old in Taiwanese society. With the example of the co-existence of traditional grocery stores and international chained convenient stores, we will study the crisis and solutions of the native cultural evolution. 　　In early observation, we found that the convenient stores have become more and more acceptable by the general public through the years. On the other hand, 20% of the traditional grocery store have been disappearing every year. This showsthat the traditional shopping habit has been replaced by a new kind of habit. Althought the convenient stores had beenrefraining the market, the menory that we have about the good old grocery stores, particularly in our childhood, have brought us some regretful feelings toward this change. What is it gives the traditional grocery. stores an unspoken quality that the convenient stores can not replace? Is this unspoken quality to disappear forever? 　　We will begin with finding answers for the mentioned questions, and continue to experience from field observation and depth interviews. In the mean time, construct an ideal social outlook on the basis of daily life world, to re-exam the quality changes in the consuming process. Eventually, we will combine existing examples and theories to reveal the true character of native consuming culture. 　　There are five chapters in this thesis: 　　First, in the Preface, a qualitative research that is different from the Qualitative Research Analysis will be proposed to criticize the negative attitude in social researches, and to observe the current status of native consuming culture promotion. 　　Second, in the Sketches, We will take history and humanity as the focuses, and the evolutionary process and the basic types of grocery stores the earliest daily small-sum consuming unit as the foundation. Then, combine them with preunderstand of theories, the grocery stores will sketch out an life world of shared understanding. 　　Third, in the Lens, We will use a skepticism, with skepticism further study the modern consuming quality change the convenient store forwards the convenient store skepticism. Using the experience from capitalist society to post-capitalism society to understand and compare with grocery stores in terms of their contribution and drawbacks. We will realize that the essential goal for convenient stores is to create different consume. 　　Fourth, in the Revelation, with the general understanding from two previous chapters on grocery stores and convenient stores, we will re-construct a consuming space with communication action which presents the goal and strength of social reform. Moreover, the space will need to have the ability to reexam the quality change between individual and group reationship. 　　Last, in the Conclusion, the unspoken quality of grocery store has been revealed. It is only a sentimental item in a person memories, but it is also a powerful weapon to criticize the consuming habit accumulated by the convenient stores. Even though the social theory of reasonable communication offers the opportunity to re-exam, there still are three inefficient and incomplete parts in this study, still as, the personal subjective cognitive and the negative effect of relity reform. Requiring further study and modification.

Abstract:
Due to the importance of offline consumer behavior, more and more people had begun to study consumer behavior in store. In offline consumer behavior research, the application of video analysis technology was the most direct and convenient. Recognizing human posture was a key technology in video analysis. The OpenPose algorithm was one of the advantageous technologies that could accurately recognize multi-person poses in different environments in real time, so we used it innovatively to study consumer behavior in store. We hope to develop the potential of this application in the research of consumer behavior in store in the footwear retail industry by the technical advantages of the OpenPose algorithm. In our study, we first used an OpenPose algorithm to estimate multi-person pose and detection behavior, and then processed and recognized the videos collected in the store. We collected a week's surveillance video of a Red Dragonfly offline store from July 10 to July 16, 2020 in China. The specific process was to calibrate the area in the selected camera screen, then the algorithm performs identification and detection, and finally output in-store consumption Behavioral data. Our research results not only verified the feasibility of this application in offline retailing stores, but the data results also indicated that consumers tend to enter the store from the right, staying concentrated in the middle and back of the store. These results may be affected by the store space, product display, and staff guidance and reception.

Abstract:
Abstract The engineering data of a large enterprise is typically distributed over a wide area and archived in a variety of databases and file systems. Access to such information is crucial to a team member, particularly in a concurrent engineering setting. However, this is not easy, because (1) a model of the relevant information is not available, and (2) there is no simple way to access the information without being knowledgeable about various computer data formats, file systems, and networks. However, in a concurrent engineering environment, there is every need to be aware of the perspectives of the other members of the team. We have developed a system called the Information Sharing Server (ISS) to enable access to diverse and distributed information within a corporation. Such data could be stored in different repositories such as databases (relational, object oriented, etc.) and file systems including those that contain multiple media (text, graphics, audio, etc.). The ISS maintains an enterprise model that is visible to the user. The modeling of the enterprise is done in a language called EXPRESS developed by the STEP consortium as an international standard. The ISS also stores mappings from the model to the actual data residing in the repositories. The ISS accepts requests from the user and converts them into requests specific to a repository. The request is then communicated to the repository over the network and the results are fetched back to the user. The ISS is currently integrated with engineering data of two domains: electrical and mechanical. Our paper describes the methodology of the ISS, the details of the implementation and extensions planned for the future. We believe the transparency offered by the ISS will make it a very useful tool for an engineer and make it very convenient to integrate heterogeneous legacy databases.

Abstract:
We used eye tracking to measure visual attention to tobacco products and pro- and anti-tobacco advertisements (pro-ads and anti-ads) during a shopping task in a three-dimensional virtual convenience store. We used eye-tracking hardware to track the percentage of fixations (number of times the eye was essentially stationary; F) and dwell time (time spent looking at an object; DT) for several categories of objects and ads for 30 adult current cigarette smokers. We used Wald F-tests to compare fixations and dwell time across categories, adjusting comparisons of ads by the number of each type of ad. Overall, unadjusted for the number of each object, participants focused significantly greater attention on snacks and drinks and tobacco products than ads (all P<0.005). Adjusting for the number of each type of ad viewed, participants devoted significantly greater visual attention to pro-ads than anti-ads or ads unrelated to tobacco (P<0.001). Visual attention for anti-ads was significantly greater when the ads were placed on the store’s external walls or hung from the ceiling than when placed on the gas pump or floor (P<0.005). In a cluttered convenience store environment, anti-ads at the point of sale have to compete with many other stimuli. Restrictions on tobacco product displays and advertisements at the point of sale could reduce the stimuli that attract smokers’ attention away from anti-ads.

Abstract:
Public, fixed-route transit services most commonly operate on public streets. In addition, transit passengers must use sidewalks to access transit stops and stations. However, streets and sidewalks are under the jurisdiction of municipalities, not transit agencies. Various municipal policies, practices, and decisions affect transit operations, rider convenience, and passenger safety. Thus, these government entities have an important influence over the quality, safety, and convenience of transit services in their jurisdictions. This research identified municipal policies and practices that affect public transport providers’ ability to deliver transit services. They were found from a comprehensive literature review, interviews and discussions with five local transit agencies in the U.S., five public transportation experts and staff from five California cities. The city policies and practices identified fall into the following five categories: Infrastructure for buses, including bus lanes, signal treatments, curbside access; Infrastructure for pedestrians walking and bicycling to, and waiting at, transit stops and stations; Internal transportation planning policies and practices; Land development review policies; Regional and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) issues. The understanding, acknowledgment, and implementation of policies and practices identified in this report can help municipalities proactively work with local transit providers to more efficiently and effectively operate transit service and improve passenger comfort and safety on city streets.
