The aim of this study is to identify the consumer perception of buying the organic foods online in Malaysia. Consumer perception is typically affected by the variables such as purchase intention, price, health consciousness, organic certification and labeling, consumer knowledge, availability, and environmental concern. This study attempts to identify the relationship and linearity between the dependent and independent variables. Survey questionnaire was targeted to 200 online consumers aged between 18 to 65 years old who buy organic foods. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between price, health consciousness, organic certification and labeling, consumer knowledge, availability, and environmental concern and the purchase of organic food. It shows that purchase intention is linearly related to price, health consciousness, availability, and environmental concern.

This chapter was written to demonstrate the effect of consumer emotion on online purchasing behavior. According to the results obtained from 418 data, it was observed that both positive and negative emotions impacted online buying behavior. In this context, as the positive emotions of the online consumer increases, the frequency of purchases increases, but as the negative emotions of the online consumer increases, the frequency of purchases decreases. In addition, user interface quality, product information quality, service information quality, site awareness, security perception, information satisfaction, and relational benefit factors are factors that negatively affect consumers emotionally in purchasing online. On the other hand, only product information quality, user interface quality, and security perception factors positively affect emotions of online consumers.

Abstract:
Today, the Internet has become a frequently-used tool in trading information, products, and services. Together with the transformations in the Internet, new media, and mobile technologies, the retail sector is also developing its service area. With the development of mobile technologies, retail giants determine the expectations and needs of their consumers in a good and fast way with artificial intelligence applications. This situation transforms it into purchasing behavior with the reflection of customer preferences on products and increasing personalization. One of the key issues in the mobile retail sector is to make the purchasing behavior permanent by ensuring the satisfaction of consumers. In the study, Getir application, a mobile marketing application was analyzed with focus group research technique performed on university students selected in accordance with certain criteria. As a result of the research, the availability, awareness, and satisfaction status of the participants on Getir application were revealed.

Abstract:
This chapter investigates the extent of digital marketing usage in South Africa, its perceived impact, and factors that influence its adoption in the South African context. The methodology adopted is the systematic review using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework. The results show that digital platforms currently used include mobile marketing (SMS) and social media platforms. The findings suggest that SMS-based marketing may be appealing to other market segments but not to young adults. The findings further suggest that social media marketing has had a significant influence on the purchase intentions among South African millennials (Generation Y). Moreover, the findings suggest that marketers, in their quest to influence customer purchasing decisions, should consider the knowledge that social media followers have regarding a subject matter (such as a product), and make an effort to educate those followers on the subject (or product) before suggesting a purchase.

This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the validity of PPP for a cluster of 15 Mediterranean countries. The research has four original contributions. First, it uses two price indicators: a consumer price index for all items and a consumer price index for hotels and restaurants including catering and accommodation services. Second, it tests the exchange rate theory regarding two numeraire currencies. Third, due to the cyclicality of the tourism sector the study examines the significance of PPP by considering the impact of the Great Recession. Fourth, in order to test the mean reversion hypothesis, it uses a comprehensive set of panel unit root tests. The authors provide ample estimates in favour of PPP proposition. The evidence of mean reversion of real exchange rates is stronger (1) with price indices for hotels and restaurants, (2) in cases when the calculations are performed for EUR rates, and (3) for the post-Great Recession period.

Abstract:
The aesthetics of a product influences the decisions made by consumers when purchasing products. Research has shown that designers are not always successful in creating a product with the desired perception amongst its users. Hence methods and tools which can support the designer in predicting how the aesthetics of their products are likely to be perceived are of value. In this paper the authors propose an approach to formalize the relationship between geometric information of a 3D object and the intended emotion using fuzzy logic. 3D objects (shapes) created by design engineering students to

Abstract:
Over the last three decades, significant research has been carried out in the field of wind power forecasting with operational tools, however, making their presence noticeable in the last 15 years. So far, most of the work done has focused on short term forecasting of wind conditions. This is mainly due to the operational need for trading electricity a few days or a few hours ahead of gate closure due to the daily fluctuating nature of the demand and the finite response time of generation plant. However, System Operators (SOs), generators and suppliers have a need for longer term predictions o
