Abstract:
Customer purchasing behaviour is reflected in the choice of products consumers purchased. An item that a customer purchases sometimes depends on the purchase of another item. Retailers can use purchasing dependencies for planning replenishment of inventory to avoid stock-outs. However, such dependencies are usually not visible. This study uses the data mining approach in finding associations between products purchased by customers from a supermarket and four retail shops. Primary data were obtained from 130 single-sales transactions made over a seven days period by customers of the supermarket and retail stores. Association rules for purchase dependencies were mined using two different algorithms, Apriori and Carma, on IBM SPSS Modeller 15. Results indicated that for retail shops, the purchase of grocery products depends on the availability of fresh food items with 83.33% confidence, and 40% of the customers tend to purchase both items within one transaction. For the supermarket, customers are 27.06% more frequent to buy grocery products together with health beauty products and fresh foods items with 96.66% confidence.

Abstract:
Nowadays, customer reviews have a significant impact on customers' purchase intentions. Customer reviews are a key factor influencing purchase decisions, as they provide transparent insights into products and services. As part of eWOM, online customer reviews are positive, negative and neutral, and these factors influence buying behaviour in different ways. Satisfied customers always write positive reviews about the product, these reviews can increase the number of customers, which can increase the profit of marketers and also increase brand loyalty. For this study, electronic products were chosen to understand how online customer reviews affect their buying behaviour, repeat purchases, and loyalty. This study employed a quantitative research approach to examine the impact of online customer reviews. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data from 402 respondents in Turkey, all of whom had purchased electronic products online in past years. The survey consisted of four sections, covering demographic characteristics, online customer reviews, purchase behaviour, repurchase behaviour, and customer loyalty. A five-point Likert scale was used to assess consumer attitudes. The questionnaire, originally in English, was translated into Turkish for accessibility. Findings show that online customer reviews significantly influence purchasing, repurchasing, and loyalty behaviour. Positive reviews build trust and drive sales, while negative reviews reduce purchases. Businesses should manage reviews effectively to enhance brand reputation and customer loyalty.

Abstract:
The rapid growth in customer data has driven companies to develop smarter and more effective marketing strategies. One efficient approach is customer segmentation, which involves dividing a market or group of customers into smaller segments based on similar characteristics or behaviors. Customer segmentation improves understanding of customer needs, preferences, and behavior. This study uses customer segmentation based on purchase potential at Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). Analyzing potential purchases can help identify market opportunities, implement more effective pricing, target promotions, manage stock and distribution, and develop new products to enhance customer satisfaction. The most commonly used segmentation method is the K-Means Clustering algorithm, which groups data into homogeneous clusters. This study aims to segment customers based on potential purchases using the K-Means Clustering method. The customer dataset in FMCG stores was divided into three clusters using seven attributes: Sex, Marital Status, Age, Education, Income, Occupation, and Settlement Size. The results, calculated in Microsoft Excel, concluded after four iterations with three clusters: k1 (Cluster 1) with 535 customers having low purchase potential, k2 (Cluster 2) with 685 customers having high purchase potential, and k3 (Cluster 3) with 7810 customers having medium purchase potential.

Abstract:
Each customer has specific purchase regularity. To predict the customers purchase behavior, some researchers have built a static model which not considere the environmental change and the customers characteristics. To dynamically predict customer purchase behavior, this paper introduces a posteriori estimation method. Based on the customers purchased information, the method combine with the customers current events, then applies the Bayes theorem to posteriori estimate the customers purchase behavior. The new method not only predict individual customers purchase behavior, but also improve the prediction accuracy. It will be helpful for the enterprises to optimize arrangements for the production and inventory and reduce operating costs.

Abstract:
Firms have since long given their regular customers special treatment. With the help of IT, many firms have established formal ways to do this. An example is a so-called customer rewards program (CRP), by which the firm rewards the customer for repeated purchase. Firms allocate large resources in these programs with millions of customers enrolled. Hence, it seems important that the CRP works effectively. By effective we mean that it increases sales. Whether it is effective or not is a matter of how it is designed. A CRP typically comes with membership levels. We study how many membership levels the firm should offer in an effective program. We also study if customers prefer individual or group rewards and whether a CRP can break and create habitual purchasing behavior. In the study, we also analyze under what conditions the customer prefers a CRP over a sales promotion. In general, the study adds to the understanding of Customer Rewards Programs as an incentive structure. There are many different ways to design these incentives and especially the continuing development of IT is expected to influence the future design and role of these types of programs. This study is part of the Swedish Research School of Management and Information Technology (MIT) which is one of 16 national research schools supported by the Swedish Government. MIT is jointly operated by the following institutions: Blekinge Institute of Technology, Gotland University College, Jönköping International Business School, Karlstad University, Linköping University, Lund University, Mälardalen University College, Stockholm University, Växjö University, Örebro University, IT University of Göteborg, and Uppsala University, host to the research school. At the Swedish Research School of Management and Information Technology (MIT), research is conducted, and doctoral education provided, in three fields: management information systems, business administration, and informatics.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Marketing<br>As alterações nível sociocultural e económico em Portugal nas últimas décadas, alteraram os hábitos de compra dos portugueses. Devidas alterações criaram a necessidade de compreender quais os factores que antecedem a lealdade dos consumidores e por conseguinte decisão de compra. Especificamente na indústria automóvel, onde existe uma vasta escolha de marcas, é imposto o desafio de diferenciação. Este estudo pretende examinar quais os factores que mais influenciam a Lealdade dos consumidores em duas marcas, percecionadas como premium no mercado português, BMW e Mercedes. Esta investigação empírica, é de natureza quantitativa, realizada através de um inquérito desenvolvido e aplicado a uma amostra não-probablística, selecionada por julgamento (n=503). De todas as respostas recolhidas, foram consideradas válidas 213 para este estudo, que correspondem a inquéritos concluídos de respondentes que conhecem ambas as marcas. Os resultados adquiridos, sugerem que a influência da perceção dos consumidores varia para cada marca. Para ambas as marcas a Resistência à Mudança e a Satisfação têm impacto na Lealdade à marca. No entanto "Valor da Marca" influência também a Lealdade à BMW, e o Afeto à marca Mercedes. As perceções do consumidor foram testadas para compreender o efeito na intenção de compra, concluindo que o Afeto é algo que influencia ambas as marcas, bem como a Satisfação para a marca Mercedes.<br>The changing economic and socio-cultural forces of the last decades have led to a great shift in customers' buying habits in Portugal. Those influences rose the need to comprehend which factors precede customers' Loyalty and will influence its purchase decision. Specifically, in the case of automotive industry, where a wide range of brands becomes greater and a challenge is imposed. This study aims to examine the impact of customer Loyalty in its customers for two car brands, perceived as premium brands, in the Portuguese market - Mercedes and BMW. The empirical search in this study is of a quantitative nature in which a survey was developed and applied to a non-probabilistic judgement sample (n= 503). In total, 213 valid surveys were considered for this study (only completed surveys from respondents who knew both brands). Interestingly, the obtained results suggest that Loyalty is influenced by different Customer Perceptions, varying by brand. For both Mercedes and BMW Resistance to Change and Satisfaction lead to Loyalty. However, Brand Equity also influences BMW's Loyalty, and by opposite Affect also impact Loyalty for Mercedes. Loyalty was found to be a driver for Purchase Intention for both brands. Customers' Purchase Intention is, for both brands, directly influenced by Affect, but only the Purchase Intention of Mercedes is also strongly influenced also by Customer Satisfaction.<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Full text
Abstract:
This research suggests that interjections e.g., “wow”, “aww”, and “hmm”, shape consumer attitudes and behaviours. Seven experiments demonstrate that consumers are more satisfied, willing to purchase, and loyal when service agents (human or chatbot) use interjections. Consumers respond positively to interjections because they feel listened to, feel the agent is in a positive mood, and feel the agent is human. The effect holds across a range of contexts and stages of the purchasing process. The findings shed light on a range of psychological processes while providing a straightforward means of enhancing satisfaction, purchase intent, and loyalty.

Abstract:
In today's era of intense competition for acquiring and retaining customers, customer retention has become a major issue and a key objective in modern retailing. With the emergence of new information technologies, the Internet offers new possibilities for customer retention through the management of relationships between marketers and consumers. Little empirical research has addressed the role of Internet websites in retaining customers for particular brands or at particular stores. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of the attitudes of a sample of young consumers aged 18 to 22 toward their favorite websites on intentions to purchase through the Internet and channels other than Internet clothing websites. The data were collected using an online survey with a structured questionnaire. The subjects of the study were 414 male and female undergraduate and graduate students at Virginia Tech and The Ohio State University, who were aged 18 to 22 and non-married. Several hypotheses were put forward and results except for one hypothesis were supported. Factor analysis, cluster analysis, factorial MANOVA, canonical correlation analysis, multiple regression, path analysis, and t-tests were employed to test the research hypotheses on the relationships among the variables. The factorial MANOVA results showed that shopping orientation and previous online shopping experience affected the evaluation of general clothing website characteristics, as well as the evaluation of favorite clothing websites. The canonical correlation results revealed that the product information, customer service, and navigation factors represented the favorite clothing website characteristics and were well predicted by the same constructs of the general clothing website characteristics. The path analysis revealed that attitudes toward favorite clothing websites were positively related to intentions to search for information at favorite clothing websites, and that intentions to search for information at those websites were positively related to intentions to purchase from those websites as well as from channels other than Internet clothing websites. Attitudes toward favorite clothing websites were directly and positively related to intentions to purchase clothing items from favorite clothing websites, and were not directly related to intentions to purchase clothing items from channels other than Internet clothing websites. The results also showed that shopping orientation affected intentions to search for information on one hand, and intentions to purchase clothing items from favorite clothing websites on the other. The online information search and purchase groups were significantly different in their intentions to purchase clothing items from their favorite clothing websites. From the results of the present research, it is concluded that Internet websites play a pivotal role in forming consumers� attitude toward the websites, which eventually lead to their information search and purchase intention from the websites. In addition, consumers' online information search intentions influence their purchase intention at channels other than Internet. Thus, by establishing effective websites, marketers can retain their customers through multiple channels including the Internet, brick-and-mortar stores, and catalogs.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
This thesis work aims at performing a cluster analysis on customer data of insurance products. Three different clustering algorithms are investigated. These are K-means (center-based clustering), Two-Level clustering (SOM and Hierarchical clustering) and HDBSCAN (density-based clustering). The input to the algorithms is a high-dimensional and sparse data set. It contains information about the customers previous purchases, how many of a product they have bought and how much they have paid. The data set is partitioned in four different subsets done with domain knowledge and also preprocessed by normalizing respectively scaling before running the three different cluster algorithms on it. A parameter search is performed for each of the cluster algorithms and the best clustering is compared with the other results. The best is measured by the highest average silhouette index. The results indicates that all of the three algorithms performs approximately equally good, with single exceptions. However, it can be stated that the algorithm showing best general results is K-means on scaled data sets. The different preprocessings and partitions of the data impacts the results in different ways and this shows that it is important to preprocess the input data in several ways when performing a cluster analysis.<br>Målet med detta examensarbete är att utföra en klusteranalys på kunddata av försäkringsprodukter. Tre olika klusteralgoritmer undersöks. Dessa är Kmeans (center-based clustering), Two-Level clustering (SOM och Hierarchical clustering) och HDBSCAN (density-based clustering). Input till algoritmerna är ett högdimensionellt och glest dataset. Det innhåller information om kundernas tidigare köp, hur många produkter de har köpt och hur mycket de har betalat. Datasetet delas upp i fyra delmängder med kunskap inom området och förarbetas också genom att normaliseras respektive skalas innan klustringsalgoritmerna körs på det. En parametersökning utförs för dem tre olika algoritmerna och den bästa klustringen jämförs med de andra resultaten. Den bästa algoritmen bestäms genom att beräkna the högsta silhouette index-medelvärdet. Resultaten indikerar att alla tre algoritmerna levererar ungefärligt lika bra resultat, med enstaka undantag. Dock, kan det bekräftas att algoritmen som visar bäst resultat överlag är K-means på skalade dataset. De olika förberedelserna och uppdelningarna av datasetet påverkar resultaten på olika sätt och detta tyder på vikten av att förbereda input datat på flera sätt när en klusteranalys utförs.

Abstract:
When a company evaluates a customer for being a potential prospect, one of the key questions to answer is whether the customer will generate profit in the long run. A possible step to answer this question is to predict the likelihood of the customer returning to the company again after the initial purchase. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate the possibility of using machine learning techniques to predict the likelihood of a new customer returning for a second purchase within a certain time frame. To investigate to what degree machine learning techniques can be used to predict probability of return, a number of di↵erent model setups of Logistic Lasso, Support Vector Machine and Extreme Gradient Boosting are tested. Model development is performed to ensure well-calibrated probability predictions and to possibly overcome the diculty followed from an imbalanced ratio of returning and non-returning customers. Throughout the thesis work, a number of actions are taken in order to account for data protection. One such action is to add noise to the response feature, ensuring that the true fraction of returning and non-returning customers cannot be derived. To further guarantee data protection, axes values of evaluation plots are removed and evaluation metrics are scaled. Nevertheless, it is perfectly possible to select the superior model out of all investigated models. The results obtained show that the best performing model is a Platt calibrated Extreme Gradient Boosting model, which has much higher performance than the other models with regards to considered evaluation metrics, while also providing predicted probabilities of high quality. Further, the results indicate that the setups investigated to account for imbalanced data do not improve model performance. The main con- clusion is that it is possible to obtain probability predictions of high quality for new customers returning to a company for a second purchase within a certain time frame, using machine learning techniques. This provides a powerful tool for a company when evaluating potential prospects.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to understand the satisfaction of young customers living in Sweden for a long time with the packaging of chips and the impact of packaging on their chip purchase and to discuss corporate social responsibility in connection with environmental sustainability. In this study, theoretical analysis, interviews, and focus groups are used as the research methods. Through the analysis of collected data and combined with the theory to carry out a comprehensive analysis. Through the analysis, it is found that the color, picture, and shape of packaging in the chips market in Sweden are the main factors affecting customers' purchase. It is also found that young customers still attach great importance to the sustainable development of the environment and think that the company should be responsible for this. The findings of this study can be considered to provide customers with real ideas for companies who want to understand the Swedish chip market and help them develop the Swedish market. Due to the lack of research on the packaging market in Sweden, the researchers hope that this study can be helpful to the relevant research.

Abstract:
AbstractThe extant priority-purchasing literature has restricted attention to the case where the only epoch for customers to purchase priority is upon arrival, and if customers choose not to upgrade when they arrive, they cannot do so later during their wait. A natural alternative is to let customers pay and upgrade to priority at any time during their stay in the queue, even if they choose not to do so initially. For instance, visitors to the London Eye could purchase a fast-track ticket at any point in their waiting process. Likewise, USCIS could allow a petitioner to file a request of expedited processing at any time after submission, not just at the moment of submission. If in-queue priority purchase is enabled, an immediate follow-up design question is whether to let customers in the regular line upgrade all at once (i.e., simultaneously) or one at a time (i.e., sequentially). In light of these considerations, this chapter examines the following two questions regarding in-queue priority purchase: (1) how will customers behave if they can upgrade to priority at any time during their wait in the queue? (2) how will rules on the specific timing of priority upgrade (i.e., simultaneous vs. sequential) impact customer behavior? This chapter is primarily based on Wang et al. (Queueing Syst 97:343–381, 2021) where interested readers can find proofs of the findings shown in this chapter.

Abstract:
AbstractThis research aims to analyze and determine the influence of online customer experience and perceived risk on online purchase intentions in e-commerce. This research model used five variables, including online customer experience, product risk, financial risk, privacy risk, and online purchase intention, with seven hypotheses. This type of research is causal research. For data collection, researchers obtained data sources derived from respondents conducted online. This research used a non-probability sampling-purposive sampling method. This study shows that the financial hypothesis of risk and privacy risk has a negative and insignificant effect on online purchase intentions. The online customer experience hypothesis significantly affects the product, financial, and privacy risks. The online customer experience hypothesis has a positive and significant effect on online purchase intentions.

Abstract:
Customer behavior modeling is important for businesses in order to understand, attract and retain customers. It is critical that the models are able to track the dynamics of customer behavior over time. We propose FC-CSM, a Customer Segmentation Model based on a Fragmentation-Coagulation process, which can track the evolution of customer segmentation, including the splitting and merging of customer groups. We conduct a case study using transaction data from a major Australian supermarket chain, where we: 1) show that our model achieves high fitness of purchase rate, outperforming models using mixture of Poisson processes; 2) compare the impact of promotions on customers for different products; and 3) track how customer groups evolve over time and how individual customers shift across groups. Our model provides valuable information to stakeholders about the different types of customers, how they change purchase behavior, and which customers are more receptive to promotion campaigns.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the key factors shaping consumer trust in Bangladesh’s e-commerce sector using a mixed-methods approach, incorporating qualitative interviews with 14 key stakeholders and quantitative survey data from 100 online shoppers. The findings identify crucial drivers of trust, including product authenticity, payment security, post-purchase support, and logistical reliability. Trust is eroded by issues such as fake reviews, misleading product descriptions, and poor customer service, while secure payment options and transparent return policies are essential for rebuilding consumer confidence. Gaps in digital security and regulatory oversight further hinder trust development. The study offers practical recommendations for improving security measures, customer service, and transparent business practices in e-commerce platforms. It also highlights the unique challenges and opportunities for fostering trust in developing markets, particularly within Bangladesh’s growing digital economy.

Full text
Abstract:
Since solar neighborhoods often span multiple land use spaces, local community members are key stakeholders in these developments. As such, involving the community can help promote and accelerate the investment and dissemination of these developments. In doing so, certain solar neighborhood business models can include individuals who otherwise cannot gain direct benefits from solar projects due to not having the ability to purchase their own solar equipment. Within the framework of IEA SHC Task 63, business models were developed to be flexible in terms of who sponsors the project versus who ultimately owns/hosts the completed development. This allows for models where community members can be involved in some way - either as sponsors of the project or as part of a customer base leasing or subscribing to the project's output.

Full text
Abstract:
To achieve the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal 7 “Clean and Affordable Energy”, the most economically viable option for servicing the part of the population that is too remote or for which the national grid extension is too expensive are distributed renewable energy solutions (DREs), that is, standalone solar home systems (SHSs), mini grids, and swarm gridsi. By 2030, more than 290 million people could be connected to mini grids. Following a top-down approach to electricity access, countries of the Global South, with support of international aid and development funding, are accelerating their national grid expansion. As the national grid reaches their customers, the private sector (DRE companies) is put at danger of having to either relocate their assets or abandon them. At the same time, the DRE end-user, reached by the national grid, faces several challenges due to being exposed to a double infrastructure. These challenges can be of technical and financial nature and are caused by the assets becoming abundant or needing additional equipment to be suitable for national grid and DREs. In our new paper we investigate a technically and economically viable solution for the co-existence of the national grid−a centralized infrastructure−with mostly decentralized, renewable energy infrastructure in Global South countries. At the intersection of these two electrification pathways the question arises if the two approaches can be integrated to the benefit of society by maintaining existing assets. We assume the technical link to be a bidirectional inverter and a battery representing the point of common coupling (PCC) between national grid and currently off-grid systems. We then suggest to apply a cost recovery approach to calculate the economic value of a community power purchase agreement (C-PPA) that allows the community to enter into a trade agreement with the national grid to export at a specified rate.

Full text
Abstract:
Three-wheelers (3Ws) play a significant role in providing the last-mile connectivity. Electrification of three-wheelers has emerged as a necessity to provide a green and clean last-mile ride. The electrification of three-wheelers poses various key challenges. Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE) and International Copper Association India (ICA) collaborated on this study to identify the key barriers to facilitating the adoption of electric three-wheelers (E3Ws) on the market. The proposed whitepaper aims to identify pathways for a market transformation for electric three-wheelers in India. The whitepaper facilitates the increased adoption of E3Ws in India by examining the perspectives of consumers and different stakeholders involved in the E3W ecosystem – fleet operators, financial institutions, dealerships, and service centres. The study was carried out in three cities – Delhi, Lucknow, and Bangalore, with the majority of the survey (70%) conducted in Delhi. The driver survey was broadly divided into three vehicle segments across the three cities: e-rickshaw, e-auto, and internal combustion engine (ICE). Each vehicle type was further divided into goods and passenger transport, and the findings are presented in this report accordingly. The entire report covers various key aspects related to E3Ws, including purchase, charging, performance, aftersales, safety, retrofitting, etc. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the E3W ecosystem, which includes the classification of E3Ws in India, charging and battery swapping infrastructure, and role of E3Ws in last-mile connectivity, with application in different areas. Chapter 3 discusses the findings and key insights from the consumer survey. It examines the key challenges, concerns, and expectations from the consumer perspective. Chapter 4 presents the key insights from the stakeholder consultation and discusses the various challenges, such as manufacturing concerns, financial challenges, the battery swapping ecosystem, and state policies' role in E3W adoption. Chapter 5 provides recommendations to address the barriers to E3W adoption in India. The recommendations presented in the whitepaper focus on topics ranging from consumer perceptions and demand incentives to addressing product issues such as awareness, servicing, safety, and other related topics. The recommendations comprise important aspects of the E3W ecosystem, such as installing more and regularly maintaining charging points, providing investment support to charging and swapping players, and conducting regular EV awareness forums to educate people about the benefits of EVs. Additionally, providing better training to service center technicians, improving the build quality of EVs through customer feedback, and partnering with financial institutions to provide cheaper loans, will be crucial in overcoming the challenges faced by EV drivers. The market transformation for E3Ws in India will require the stakeholders in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem to further deliberate and implement strategies in line with the recommendations presented in the whitepaper.

Full text
Abstract:
A functional weakness of the training market is the extreme difficulty with which potential purchasers of "training" can gauge the quality of training programs in advance of payment. However, no training provider would allow a customer to delay payment of course fees until the course has been completed. In such a circumstance, upon completion of the course, the trainee has received what he wanted to acquire (knowledge and skills), and therefore has a strong incentive to refuse payment. An effective instrument would promote investment in the training market, and also reduce the information gap and improve quality control. This document analyzes the specific problems and pitfalls encountered by previous supply-oriented programs in Paraguay and describes a new approach to microenterprise training, which uses an information system associated with vouchers. The concluding section highlights the challenges still facing this approach, and touches on expectations for future program interventions.
