Abstract:
Swedish households are getting deeper in debt and house prices keeps on rising. This is what happened in USA and it was one of the major causes of the recent financial crisis. To avoid a similar crisis in Sweden we think one part of the solution is to make sure that those who are students today and soon will get jobs, buy houses, take loans etcetera have necessary knowledge to do so. Students’ saving is an area that almost completely lacked researchers’ attention, and one goal with this thesis is to point out why it’s an important subject and to increase interest among other researchers. We want to give other researcher a foundation to start from, to give an idea of what students saving looks like, so they can continue to explore this important subject. Our research is using theories developed on private saving in American households as a background, and two psychological theories, The theory of planned behavior by Ajzen (1991) and Self-determination theory by Deci and Ryan (2000) as a foundation. This thesis primary focus is on researching students attitude towards saving, students attitude towards stocks and students motivation towards saving. This is researched by distributing a Likert Scale based questionnaire to two groups, business students and technical energy students, a total of 133 students. The answers were collected in two classrooms and all students agreed to fill in the questionnaire leaving us with no non-response bias. The result was very positive and quite surprising. A majority of the students in our study have a positive attitude towards saving, a slightly positive attitude towards stocks and they are motivated to save. Our conclusion is that although the result is positive students saving and students knowledge about saving can be further improved by more education.

Abstract:
This study focuses on persuasive design concerning the household users&rsquo
energy saving behavior while using electrical household appliances for the housework. Household users form a balance at home determined by the household resources they have, and they do not want to change this fragile balance because it is established as a result of household users&rsquo
habitual behavior. It is crucial to persuade household users to save energy at home without disturbing the balance among resources. Persuasion becomes an effective tool at this stage. The study provides an efficient reallocation of the resources for energy saving behavior, which is supported by household resource reallocation and persuasion literature, and an empirical study.

China is the world’s largest apparel producer, exporter, and maintains the largest domestic apparel market. Since economic reform in the 1980s that opened up the Chinese market for foreign investors, China’s domestic apparel market has attracted many foreign (Western) apparel brands (Shenkar, 2005). More than 10,000 different international apparel brands share China’s domestic apparel market, including brands from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, Britain, and South Korea, among others. Around 2,000 Chinese domestic apparel brands have experienced difficultly surviving in China’s domestic apparel market. Besides the large number of foreign (Western) apparel brands, counterfeit apparel products have grown faster than China’s government can control. As a result, China has become the world’s largest counterfeit market. This has become a secondary threat to China’s domestic apparel market and national economy. Additionally, because of economic growth and modernization in China, Chinese consumers have accepted more Westernized values, but also retained their traditional face-saving values. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore how their attitudes toward counterfeit apparel products, China’s domestic apparel brands, and foreign (Western) apparel brands are influenced by their level of perception about knowledge and attitudes toward counterfeit apparel products, face-saving values, materialistic values, and ethical values. This study utilized a sample of males and females between the ages of 18 and 64, who reside in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Wuhan, China. A questionnaire was utilized as part of this study and data was collected online by SOJUMP Survey Company. A total of 1,192 participants (736 males and 456 females) participated in this study. There are in total nine significant relationships that have been found in this study. First, the researcher found a positive relationship between Chinese consumers’ perception about knowledge of counterfeit apparel products and their attitudes about counterfeit apparel products. Second and third, the present study also discovered that Chinese consumers with favorable attitudes of foreign apparel brands or negative attitude of China’s domestic apparel brands would similarly hold positive attitudes of counterfeit apparel products. Fourth, the present scholar concluded that Chinese consumers with favorable attitudes of China’s domestic apparel brands tend to hold negative attitudes of counterfeit apparel products. Fifth and sixth, it was found that Chinese consumers with high level of face-saving values show positive attitudes of foreign (Western) apparel brands and counterfeit apparel products. Seventh, Chinese consumers with high level of face-saving values also possess strong materialistic values. Consequently Chinese consumers with strong materialistic values tend to hold positive attitudes of counterfeit apparel products and foreign (Western) apparel products, but negative attitudes of China’s domestic apparel brands. The findings of this study show that Chinese consumers have a very low level of perception about knowledge of counterfeit apparel products. It is necessary to connect educators, government, apparel industry, and brand owners to develop and enhance anti-counterfeit educational programs. These programs should clearly explain the perception about knowledge of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), trademark, and the negative causes of counterfeit products are warranted. Also, it is better for China’s domestic apparel brand companies to develop better brand images and improve product quality to meet Chinese consumers’ face-saving standards and materialistic values.

Abstract:

This study aims to give an overview on young Chinese consumers’ car purchase behavior. The results show that car purchasing decision is an important decision for most of Chinese. Consumers get information from different channels. The results of this study also tells us that Chinese consumers take “safety” as the most important characteristic and take “value for money” as the second most important and “riding comfort” as the third important characteristic. Chinese consumers take “after-sale maintenance” and “exterior design/size” as the forth most important factors when making the purchase decision. For “exterior design/size”, it indicates that Chinese people are status-seeking and Chinese people prefer to choose a bigger car with a good appearance (Mian Zi Che) to show their good social status and want to get respects from others. Chinese consumers put the least importance on resale value that is because second hand car market is not well developed in China.

Cilasun, Seyit Mumin. "Income And, Consumption And Saving Behavior Of Turkish Households." Phd thesis, METU, 2009. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12611207/index.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
Using 2002-2006 Household Budget Survey, this thesis investigates the income, consumption and saving dynamics of Turkish households within a life-cycle theory framework by employing cross-sectional analyses and cohort techniques. Cohort techniques are used not only to analyze these variables, but also to investigate the demographics and components of income and consumption. The analyses are deepened by dividing the sample according to the location of the households (urban-rural areas), and significant differences are found between urban and rural households, especially in terms of saving behaviors. Income, consumption and savings of formal and informal households are also investigated. Analyzing these households provides information regarding the precautionary saving since the higher income uncertainty of the informal households is expected to force them for extra saving due to precautionary motive. Finally, the life-cycle model and the precautionary saving hypothesis are tested by estimating log-linearized Euler equations. In the test of precautionary saving hypothesis, formal-informal data are used as a proxy for the risk variable. According to the estimation results, the predictions of the life-cycle model do not hold for Turkey but there is no evidence that this is due to precautionary saving.

Abstract

Key words:E-commerce, women, online purchasing behavior, online shopping, Internet shopping

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to map out the present behavior of women between 40-55 years concerning Internet shopping. Fur-thermore, the research aims at finding and analyzing factors that might help marketers when persuading the target group to increase their usage of Internet as a purchasing channel for home textile and decorations.

Background: Along with the increasing usage of computers, E-commerce has emerged as a sales channel, and grows rapidly in Sweden. Due to the high growth rate many companies start up web sites for E-commerce. Hemtex AB followed this trend and started their web shop in October 2008 (S. Lindström, personal communication, 2008-10-30). Studies have shown younger consumers to be more frequent online shoppers than older consumers (HUI, 2006) and men to make more online purchases than women (Belanger et al, 2002). This might imply some difficulties for Hemtex concerning their start up of a web shop, since their main target group conists of women in the age 40-55 years. This demographic group is however large and has a high purchasing power (SCB, 2008), which mean it is a profitable group to target for marketers in various industries. One major difficulty with online shopping is the inability to touch the product before purchasing it, which can be a difficulty to overcome when selling textiles on the Internet (Forsythe & Shi, 2003). There-fore it is interesting to conduct research of the online purchasing behavior and habits of women age 40-55 years concerning the home textile industry.

Method: The purpose of this thesis was achieved by using customers of Hemtex AB as a critical case to take part in a survey as well as in a focus group. Two models concerning consumers‟ intention to make purchases in an online environment were used to analyse the out-come of the survey and the focus group.

Conclusion: The thesis determined computer experience and age of women to have an impact on whether they make online purchases or not. The largest obstacle for online shopping was payment discomfort and the largest benefit of shopping online was the conveniece factor. Several factors that could increase the probability for women of making online purchases age 40-55 was discovered, and specific rec-ommendations for marketers which target women in this age group were developed. Furthermore, one of the models concerning con-sumers‟ intention to make purchases‟ in an online environment was modified to focus the intentions of women to shop online.


Sammanfattning

Sökord: E-handel, kvinnor, Internet köpbeteende, Internet handel

Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att kartlägga det nuvarande köpbe-teendet bland kvinnor i åldern 40-55 år beträffande Internet shop-ping. Vidare ämnar forskningen att hitta och analysera faktorer som kan hjälpa marknadsförare att få målgruppen att öka sitt användan-de av Internet som ett medium för att handla hemtextilier och in-redning.

Bakgrund: Samtidigt som användandet av datorer ökar så har E-handeln ut-vecklats som säljkanal och ökar snabbt i Sverige. På grund av den höga tillväxten väljer många företag att starta webbsidor för E-handel. Hemtex AB har följt trenden och startade sin Webbutik i Oktober 2008 (S. Lindström, personlig kommunikation, 2008-10-30). Studier har visat att yngre konsumenter tenderar att handla mer på Internet än äldre konsumenter (HUI, 2006) och att män handlar mer än kvinnor (Belanger et al, 2002). Detta skulle kunna innebära svårigheter för Hemtex när de startar upp en Webbutik eftersom deras huvudmålgrupp består av kvinnor i åldern 40-55 år. Denna demografiska grupp är stor och har stark köpkraft (SCB, 2008), vil-ket betyder att det är en lönsam grupp att rikta sig mot för mark-nadsförare i olika branscher. En stor svårighet med E-handel är att man inte kan undersöka varan före köp, detta kan vara en svårighet att överkomma när man ska sälja särskilt textiler över Internet (For-sythe & Shi, 2003). Därför är det intressant att forska i köpbeteen-det på Internet bland kvinnor i åldern 40-55 år beträffande hemtex-tilbranschen.

Metod: Syftet med uppsatsen uppfylldes genom att ett urval av Hemtex kunder fick delta i en enkätundersökning samt i en fokusgrupp. Två modeller om konsumenters avsikt att göra köp i på Internet använ-des för att analysera resultatet av enkäten och fokusgruppen.

Slutsats: Uppsatsens resultat var att datavana och ålder hade en effekt på om kvinnorna genomförde ett köp på internet eller inte. Det största hindret för köp på Internet var osäkerhet kring betalning och den största fördelen med Internet köp var bekvämlighet. Flera faktorer som kunde öka sannolikheten för kvinnor i åldern 40-55 att göra In-ternet köp var identifierade, och specifika rekommendationer fast-ställdes för marknadsförare som riktar sig till den här åldersgruppen. Vidare utvecklades en av de teoretiska modellerna om 'konsumenters avsikt att göra köp i en Internet miljö' för att fokusera på kvinnors avsikter att handla på Internet.

Full text
Abstract:
There appears to be a growing recognition among economists and other social commentators that people attempt to enhance their relative position (which is commonly described as status) through consumption choices and other behaviour. It has been less common to consider whether attempts to enhance relative position impact on saving behaviour. This thesis makes a number of contributions relating to the impact of relative position on saving behaviour. In this thesis I: - consider why concern for relative position may impact on saving behaviour. I demonstrate, with a simple intertemporal model the surprising result that when people are concerned with relative position, income risk can lead to most people saving less and the rich saving more. - conduct an empirical study to test the importance of relative position on saving behaviour. I find a statistically and economically significant relationship between peer income and saving behaviour consistent with theories that people actively forgo saving to seek to enhance their relative position. I use the data to demonstrate that relative position can help to explain why prior research has consistently found that the rich have higher saving rates. - consider the policy implications of relative position to saving behaviour. I examine the policies, primarily corrective taxation, that have been advocated to address externalities of relative position in a static setting. I find that there are significant issues when these policies are considered in an intertemporal setting. I examine the policy of mandatory saving in addressing distortions caused by relative position and the possibility that concern for relative position improves the effectiveness of mandatory saving policy.

Abstract T5 fluorescent lamps with some unique features caught attention of the author to launch the study. First off, as an energy saving option, T5 fluorescent lamps are noticed as a new generation product capable of seizing the market shares of conventional T8 and T9 lamps at least during the lead-time before LED lamps becomes practical in effective applications as indoor fluorescent lamps; however, currently T5 lamps see a disadvantage in their high cost of installation far higher than that of conventional lamps. Any organization will soon find that the cost it takes in purchasing T5 lamps will be extremely high if the energy saving T5 lamps from sources other than key players are not their options; however, purchasing from non-leading brands, particularly purchasing the T5 products (without any certified energy saving label) will lead to risks of high defective rate and short service life inevitably, so what are the essentials for the purchasing staff during making decisions and contemplating? Besides, whether if the difference in the knowledge and involvements in mastering T5 lamps leads to influence to the purchasing staff during selecting and purchasing T5 lamps with (or without) energy saving label? Furthermore, how does purchasing policy of an organization influence its purchasing staff’s behaviors during actual practice? Simply put, this study, by viewing at three angles namely the purchasing staff’s attitudes upon facing risks, the extent of involvement of purchasing individual, and the organization’s purchasing policy, explores the difference in purchasing behaviors demonstrated during purchasing “Energy Saving T5 Lamps with and without Energy Saving Label”.   This study administered a questionnaire survey in which 300 copies of the questionnaire were distributed and 205 copies found, leading to 68% valid return rate, after eliminating the invalid questionnaires returned with incomplete answers or missing sheets. The results thus collected were further analyzed with some statistical analyses such as Descriptive Statistics Analysis, Reliability Analysis, 1-way ANOVA, Factor Analysis and Regression Analysis; and on the basis of these data, the study finds that first off an organization typically still takes T5 products of “Leading Brand with Energy Saving Label reflecting Quality” as top priority in its purchasing policy requirements; and secondly an organization tends to turn its option to T5 products without Energy Saving Label or to leasing of T5 products from leaser only upon the pressure or impact of purchasing cost for the replacement.   Further, on the basis of its conclusions, this study presents recommendations as the follows: 1. A Key Player with Leading Brand – viewing on the universal value: it’s T5 product is assured in quality with the energy saving label, however, in terms of product price, its product life cycle is well in matured phase as per existing phenomenon of “booming manufacturers sprawling everywhere in the market” observed readily; hence to the price features, the price must be lowered down to the commonly expected level, or the high price will only drive the average consumers to keep using their T8 or T9 lamps in use or to wait for LED lamps likely to turn matured in techniques for easy applications. Another advisable recommendation is: A T5 key player might find it benefiting to launch a technological collaboration plan with an adequately certified “T85 Converting Rack” manufacturer to form a Strategic Alliance for Collaborative Sales to penetrate the Replacement Market segment exclusively, or to seize the organization purchasing market segment with leasing options; these strategic arrangements will not only reduce the dear replacement cost but also a breakthrough happen – help consumers overcome the current situation resulted from the misled common hint of “a wasteful behavior of replacing the T8 or T9 lamps in use with T5 lamps”. 2. For a non-key-player manufacturer: In view of the Energy Saving T5 Lamps with (or without) Energy Saving Label currently enjoying a competing strength in the product prices; it is strongly believed that your market share is likely to keep expanding once your lamps are marketed with Quality Assurance arrangement, market segmentation, product discriminatory pricing, building the product popularity and reliability of the non-leading brands products through Word of Mouth marketing. Besides, it is also equally advisable to seize the organization purchasing market segment by offering leasing options, the trick in marketing with leasing options is that it prevents the purchasers from doubt in defective rate due to the fact that Quality Assurance is already covered by the lease agreement, what is more is that it effectively reduces the dear cost of purchasing new ones for replacing the aged products and even help the consumer overcome the misled common hint of “a wasteful behavior of replacement in which exiting T8/T9 lamb fixtures are discarded” – a currently prevailing psychological obstacle.

This dissertation is sourced from " the Survey data of Family Income and Expenditure of Taiwan, 1996. " The data analyzes and discusses families'' saving behavior in different generation group and different tenure choice. Chapter 3 establishes a linear regression model in saving rate. It analyzes a cross difference between different generation group and different tenure choice. The conclusion of this research appeal that adding the net mortgage expenditure of house owners with mortgage to disposable income and saving will not only lead to an increase in saving rate but also causes it getting closer to the saving rate of the household owners without mortgage. The influence of the forced saving is most obvious for the one generation families. However, the saving behavior of the three generation families are obviously influence by wealth transfer between different generation.

A consumer''s buying behavior is influenced by cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors. Especially for a car,that is consumer durable and high price. The car buying roles is complex buying behavior. The traditional study for major factors influencing buying behavior are 4P(Product、Place、Promotion、Price). But a buyer''s decision is also influenced by personal characteristics. Such as age and stage in the life cycle we call it generation marketing. People buy different goods and services over a lifetime. Such kind of papers of generation marketing had been published many cases abroad. Hope can be doing same subject study in domestic market. Consumers’ decisions are also influenced by personal characteristics. These include the buy''s age and stage in the life cycle. J Walker Smith & Ann Clurman co-author of Rocking the Ages, says that marketer''s do have to be careful about turning off one generation each time they craft a message that appeals effectively to another. The idea is to try to be broadly inclusive and at the same time offer each generation something specifically designed for it. For marketers, the most populous age groups shape the marketing environment. The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy target customer''s needs and wants. In Taiwan, the population can be subdivided into some groups. Each group contains subculture, groups with shared values emerging from their special life experience or circumstances. Today''s young people are influenced by new buzzword and communication language. Companies may take an outside-inside view of their customers. Through "understanding consumer behavior" and "knowing customers" to achieve many profits as a consequence of creating superior customer value. The automobile consumer''s decision process passes through five stage: problem recognition,information research,evaluation of alternatives,purchase decision,and post purchase behavior. This research is trying to research a small number of recent purchasers,asking them to recall the events leading to their purchase. This research tries to locate consumers who plan to buy the product and ask them to think out about going through the buying process by generation. Make a reference command for future marketing strategy. The conclusion of this research find there are different wants and need in generation automobile purchasing. For B generation, they hope good brand images when they purchasing a car. Beside that they want ABS function and good price. For X generation,they would good price first then aspect of a car.

There are two significant phenomena in Taiwan recently. One is the saving rates of families to decrease , and the other is the nuclearization of family. The studies of Taiwan’s saving focused on economic and demographic variables but ignored household pattern. As pointed out by Kotlikoff and Spivak (1981), families can self-insure against uncertain dates of death through implicit or explicit agreement with respect to consumption and interfamily transfers. Therefore, in the absence of perfect annuity market, these risk-sharing arrangements provide powerful incentives for family formation. The objective of this thesis is to study the relationship between household formation and saving behavior under uncertainty, which are joint determined. This paper adopts McElroy (1985) Nash bargaining model to derive saving functions and indirect utility functions that determine household membership. Using the method of simulation, we compare the saving behavior of different types of household and report the utility gain for parents and their child respectively if they choose to form one household together. The data of 1989 Women Living Survey is used in the empirical study. We apply Probit model to analyze the choice of household formation. Based on the estimation, we infer saving determinants furthermore. The analyses show that saving and household formation are indeed joint determined. And the significantly different saving behavior is found between nuclear and stem families. Families provide insurance against the uncertainty of life and the function thus exerts influence on savings.

Traditional financial study is constructed on the theory of that investors are rational and their trades are random, but financial scientists find out that investors are not always rational. Therefore, the behavioral finance has started to thrive. From the previous studies, stock investors perform overconfidence, so from this phenomenon, it results the excessive trades those lead to investment return rate is unsatisfied. Furthermore, the specialty of mutual fund is to transfer the fund to professional managers then to operate and for long-term possessive. However, in this way, whether this process can totally avoid the situation of stock investors’ overconfidence? This paper uses questionnaire to discuss the relationship between investors’ personality, purchase reasons, purchase behavior and the degree of overconfidence, and analyze the investors who have different personal number and characteristics, whether those factors will be different on the degree of overconfidence. The result proves that, age, career, annual income, household register place, personal number does not affect the degree of investors’ overconfidence, but, gender, educational background, marriage status do have significant effects. Factor in the purchase, purchase behavior and overconfidence among the study constructs are positively related significant. In this paper, personal number is one of the important factors, The Number of the part of life, the empirical results were not overconfidence phenomenon.

With the rapid development of technology in recent years, the internet, mobile devices and mobile online shopping market become vastly popularized. This change of shopping form doesn’t involve geography and time only. It also brings a big change on consumer behaviors. The enterprises can deliver related product information and sales promotions to consumers at any time. Moreover, consumers can use any mobile devices, like apps, to shop anywhere at any time. In order to increase consumers’ shopping desire, the enterprises use diverse sale strategies to attract consumers’ attention. The various situations while purchasing will also affect consumers’ final decision. So far, we don’t have enough complete studies to show that impulse purchasing behavior is affected by same factors as online shopping’s strategies by mobile devices. Therefore, the goal of this study is to understand the relationship between mobile shopping desire and impulse purchasing behavior. The model is based on Goal-Directed Behaviors Model, suggested by Perugini and Bagozzi in 2001. We utilized Structural equation modeling (SEM) to explain how the shopping desire is formed and the impact on purchasing behavior from the desire. This study will be mainly focusing on Taiwanese consumers. According to the survey data, we take descriptive statistics analysis, Reliability and Validity Analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the data.As the result shows sales promotion, online review, and the emotion have positive effects on the shopping desire. The shopping desire has the significant positive effect on the mobile shopping impulse purchasing behavior.

abstract: This study was designed to influence consumer habits, specifically those relating to purchases of fruits, vegetables, and junk food. Previous studies have clearly shown the ineffectiveness of simply describing the health benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables (F/V). In contrast, this study aimed to change the result by changing the message: providing participants with insight into the hidden agendas of food companies and grocery stores, provide useful tips on how to include children when selecting F/V, and emphasizing the importance of parental modeling in regard to food purchases. Participants of this study were separated into two groups, the tour group and the education group. The tour group was guided through a grocery store where they learned about sales tactics and manipulations used by grocery stores and food companies to influence purchases. Education group participants were provided with an education session focusing on USDA and FDA handouts displaying current educational suggestions for increasing F/V consumption. Grocery store receipts were collected and analyzed to track the progress of both groups. The goal of the study was to identify a method of informing consumers that will produce a significant change in behavior. Increasing F/V consumption, even in relatively small amounts, would be an important step forward in improving the diet and overall health of Americans. This study was the first of its kind to measure purchasing patterns objectively (through analysis of purchase receipts, rather than personal opinion/evaluation surveys) and in a wide-scope retail environment that includes all grocery store purchases by participants. Significant increases or decreases in the amount of money spent on F/V, or the amount (pounds) of F/V purchased were not seen, however a small correlation (r = 0.133) exists when comparing the weight of F/V purchased pre/post intervention. Data from Food Frequency Questionnaires shows participants consuming significantly higher amounts of F/V post intervention (p=0.043). The tour group and education group experienced an average increase of 0.7 servings per day. Future interventions might benefit by extending their scope to include cooking demonstrations, in-home interventions, and education on healthy eating outside of the home.

Purpose ehavioral economics has becoming a new stream of economics that aims to explain human behavior with reference to their actual incentives instead of those proposed by classical economics. Our thesis is to study the relationship between demographic factors and Irrational Behavior on Purchasing Dietary Supplements. Method We conducted a survey from December 2018 – January 2019. The target population consist of athletes and employees from the financial sector . A total of 530 complete questionnaires were returned (response rate = 96%). We then performed Pearson’s Chi-squared correlation test, Fisher’s exact test, independent sample test, bivariate analysis, and logistic regression to determine factors associated with irrational consumer behaviors. Result The results showed that women were more prone to irrationality then men. Athletes were more impulsive than non-athletes. Employees from the financial sector were more irrational than employees from other sectors. Irrational behaviors were more prevalent for those with lower income. People in neuroticism nature showed higher irrationality in purchasing behavior than other groups. We also found those who self-rated as the “Impulsive type” are more prone to irrational behaviors. Those who termed themselves as the “imaginative type” showed strongest endowment effect and loss aversion behaviors. Conclusion Our survey results demonstrate that demographic factors are associated with consumer irrational purchasing behaviors, which is in line with the recent development of behavioral economics. Low pricing strategies may not be the most V efficient way to increase demand. Instead, company should emphasize on the value of their product from consumer’s perspective by determining the actual incentives associated with purchasing intensions.

When Taiwan government canceled the limitation of diesel cars and allowed it to import and sell in 2004, the annual sale volumes of the diesel cars in Taiwan grew times than before. The researches for purchasing of diesel cars are very rare. This paper attempts to study the factors which influence the behavior intention of purchasing diesel cars. In this study, we design the questionnaire based on the Theory of Planning Behavior. After referencing to the literature, we added two dimensions, “Product Quality” and “Perceived Risk”, to the research structure. Rasch model can present important factors from different clusters of samples. By using regression and ANOVA, this study explored the influence extent of the consumers’ intention to purchasing diesel cars in different aspects. The study survey was conducted in the BBS (PTT) and the visitors to 20th Taipei INT’L Auto Show 2010 during December, 2009. The effective sample size is 1009. This study is the first study that analyzes the consumers’ behavior of purchasing diesel cars by Rasch model. The results of regression analysis support all the assumptions, and the R2 is as high as 51.2%. The results from the Rasch model analysis indicate that “Behavioral Intention” is that the consumers generally have the willingness to buy diesel cars. “Product Quality” said that, safety and fuel-efficient are more important than the brand. “Attitude” said that consumers agree that the diesel cars are energy saving and environment protecting. “Subjective Norms” was informed that relatives generally agree diesel cars. The purchasing budget of consumers are 600 thousand to one million NT dollars, so the companies could launch cheaper diesel cars. The government could popularize more environmental protection concepts to increase the consumers’ purchasing intentions. The most important factor that affects consumers' behaviors of purchasing diesel cars in Taiwan is environmental factor, and it is different from the result mentioned in Lee (2009) that consumers in South Korea take the operating costs as the key factor. This study may provide reference on marketing for the government and automobile-related industry as a future policy or strategy.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that affect consumers’ precautionary saving behavior. The sample for this study is drawn from the 1995 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). Due to the heteroscedasticity among the variances of disturbances, the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) method is used to investigate the factors that affect consumers’ precau-tionary savings. The sample selection model (Heckman;1979) is applied to analyze the factors that determine the precautionary savings of consumers with the most precautionary saving motives, and avoid inconsistent estimates of population parameters due to the correlation between disturbances of the sample selection equation and the precautionary savings equation. The GLS results indicate that age, gender, number of children, workyears, education, occupation, race, permanent income, current income, net worth, liquidity constraints and social insurance benefits are significant factors that affect consumers’ precautionary savings. The first stage of sample selection model shows that age, gender, number of children, race and permanent income are the significant factors which affect the probability of the most precautionary saving mo-tives. And, the second stage of selection model reveals that precautionary savings for consumers with the most precautionary motives are only determined by current income and net worth.

The study focused on the Chinese tourists in Taiwan and attempted to discuss the relationships among characteristics, purchase motivation, and customer satisfaction rate of Chinese tourists in Taiwan. There were 303 Chinese tourists in Taiwan who had actual purchase behaviors purposively surveyed from April to May, 2012. The main findings of this study were as follows: 1. Most of the study subjects were from age 40 to 49, married, had children, and involved in business and service industries. Most of them came for the purpose of sightseeing and indicated it was their first trip in Taiwan. Their travel companians were majorly co-workers, and information for Taiwanese commodities and itinerary were both collected from travel agencies. 2. The major purchase motivation of Chinese tourists in Taiwan was to purchase products that were unavailable in China and the price was not a determinant for their purchases. 3. The main factor of shopping satisfaction of Chinese tourists in Taiwan was the efficacy of salespersons while the influences of shopping time in the store was not determinant. 4. The purchase motivation would significantly predict the price dimension in the shopping satisfaction; the stringer purchase motivation, the higher shopping satisfaction in term of price. Around 1.18 million Chinese tourists visited Taiwan in 2010 and the number had increased by 100,000 in 2011, which suggested their consuming ability should not be overlooked. To understand the purchase behavior of Chinese tourists in Taiwan could assist the government in developing relevant policies to advance their purchase behaviors other than promoting the tourism in Taiwan. The shopping time and diversity of products should also be improved by commercial practitioners.

Abstract From the perspective of technological process, people gradually rely on technology products. This may lead to the growth of new technology products such as tablet computer. Unlike traditional personal computer, tablet computer is a revolution in computer area. People just use fingers to touch the screen of tablet computer for operating the tablet computer. Tablet computer has become popular one of the electronic equipments for people. This study used the model of goal-directed behavior (MGB) to examine behavioral intentions on buying tablet computer. Our MGB model is assessed by using data from a sample of 170 individuals in Taiwan and analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS) method. The results of this study indicate that: (1) perceived behavioral control, anticipated positive emotions, anticipated regret, and past behavior have positive significant effects on desire; (2) anticipated negative emotions have positive significant effects on anticipated regret; (3) desire positively significantly influences behavioral intentions; (4) desire mediates the relationships between perceived behavioral control and behavioral intentions, between anticipated positive emotions and behavioral intentions, and between anticipated regret and behavioral intentions. This study also provides policy implications and managerial suggestions. Keyword: Tablet computer, the model of goal-directed behavior, partial least squares

Online shopping has been booming in recent ten years. It is now a critical issue for online retailers how to make good use of the rich data generated in the process of online shopping. Online retailers cannot observe physical characteristics of the customers, such as gender and age. But they can use browsing data to analyze customers’ preferences and predict purchasing behavior. This study explores the relationships between browsing behavior, customer characteristics, and purchase results using clickstream data from the website of an online wine retailer. I use a K-Means model to cluster customers based on the filters they chose when browsing the website. I find the clustering results are significantly correlated with customers’ location and gender. Also, the more filters a customer choose before a purchase, the more wines they buy and the higher their order total. The results of logistic regressions show that customers who choose a low price range to filter products are most likely to buy.

The 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) servie provider market is highly competitive now. It thus becomes critical for every 3PL to establish its competitive advantages. One of the ways is to identify customers’ requirements and characteristics of each market segment through market segmentation. Past research about logistics market segmentation is primarily based on customers’ perception of logitics services and logistics service qualities. The research tries to validate the possibility of segmenting logistics market by actual data about customers’ purchasing behavior. Targeting on organizational customers of the market, data are collected through questionnaire survey. It is shown that logistics market can be clustered into three groups - heavy-use quality-oriented, heavy-use high-level-decision-making oriented, and low-use price-oriented - through clustering analysis based on purchasing behaviors. However, the differences among these groups are limited with respect to customers’ requirements in logistics services and logistics service qualities. The features are more salient in sales volume and contracting relationship. Based on the classification of 3PLs by Lai (2004), it is suggested that traditional freight forwarders (TFF) may take low-use price-oriented customers as target while full service providers (FSP) may target on both heavy-use customer segments.

After Taiwan regains its independence from Japan colonization, economy has developed very fast. And Taiwan economy has been evolving along with the civilization of Taiwan. Will the changes of civilization construction affect saving behaviors in Taiwan? In order to observe the variance between population and savings, we have divided the time span of 1994-2006 into 15 generations by taking 4-year as a generation and study how populations in different generations affect the saving amount of Taiwan. The conclusion of the report can be summarize as follows, 1.As people age, they tend to save more money and savings peak at their middle-age. After their savings reach the peak, savings decrease as people get older. 2.White-collar salary correlates negatively with savings level. It’s interpreted that white-collar individuals spend more even with higher salary. Therefore, saving rate correlates negatively with works. 3.As predicted, families with dependents under age 18 have lower saving rates for more education spendings. 4.Disposable income correlates positively with savings. According to Engel’s theory, less and invariant spending opportunities may increase saving level. 5.If works in north of Taiwan, normally can have more disposable income. However, the price level in the north is higher than other areas, spending might higher as well. 6.There is no significant correlation of the gender of family head and working area with saving rates.
