This paper is a part of an ongoing research effort to investigate the current issues and development of online college textbook market, as the Internet has provided more options for college students across the nation in terms of buying and selling their textbooks in recent years. The primary data for this study are collected through a comprehensive website evaluation and testing, and a question...

Virtual QR Code Stores are currently expanding globally and it is commonplace in the market to put emphasis on purely hedonic product assortments. This practice reflects the widespread assumption that hedonic products should be more effective to stimulate purchases because they facilitate impulse buying behavior. Contrary to this argumentation, the results of our study demonstrate that purchasi...

This research explored the role of anticipated negative feelings in the observed disparity between buying and selling prices for the same endowed object. We assumed that anticipated negative reactions to losses deter people from trading an endowed object and therefore psychological variables that attenuate the emotional response to negative events should further reduce the price disparity betwe...

The endowment effect is the finding that minimum selling prices for a particular good exceed maximum buying prices. We build on and extend previous research showing that emotions influence the endowment effect, and reveal that the two negatively valenced decision-related emotions, regret and disappointment, have distinct effects on the valuation of an object. We found that an induction of regre...

From choosing the daily lunch menu to buying or selling stock options, decisions have to be made every day. In general, due to incomplete information, making a decision carries a risk. Typically, such risks are mitigated through risk management. However, risk is not the only element involved in the decision process. When the decision to be made concerns an interaction between two entities, trus...

Small-scale wireless communication technologies allow for situated consumer-product communication during buying decision making. We present the status of a generic model and implementation of semantically annotated physical products and an associated mobile and web-based infrastructure. Cornerstones are a RDF-based container model for semantic product descriptions (SPDO), an appropriate web-bas...

Participants were asked to take the role of a manager who is to make purchasing decisions based on positive versus negative feedback about 3 providers in 2 different product domains. When information sampling (from a computerize...
