Nonostante la costante attenzione dedicata al tema della fedeltà del consumatore, la letteratura di marketing non è stata in grado di fornire una definizione condivisa e chiara del costrutto. Questo si è tradotto in una scarsa integrazione del tema della customer loyalty negli studi di consumer behaviour. L’analisi della fedeltà del cliente diviene più complessa nei contesti distributivi e in particolare per quanto concerne la grande distribuzione moderna. Questa tesi di dottorato presenta e testa un framework concettuale che descrive il processo psicologico alla base dello sviluppo di fedeltà nei confronti della grande distribuzione moderna. Il modello si fonda sul reference-based paradigm e si snoda in due fasi. Nella fase cognitiva vengono valutati gli effetti degli stimoli provenienti dallo store environment sulla formazione delle valutazioni dei consumatori in merito a functional congruity, self-congruity e attrattività delle alternative presenti sul mercato. Nella seconda fase vengono analizzati gli effetti di queste tre variabili sulla fedeltà del consumatore. Viene inoltre evidenziato come l’identificazione tra retailer e consumatore risulti essere di primaria importanza per la customer loyalty. Inoltre il modello include e testa l’impatto di fattori quali struttura del mercato, livello di conoscenza del consumatore e time pressure sul processo di sviluppo di customer loyalty. / Although researchers have wondered about the meaning of true customer loyalty for decades, literature still lacks a clear and shared conceptualization. This has also resulted in a poor integration of the concept of customer loyalty in consumer behaviour theory. The general debate on customer loyalty is even more complex when referring to the particular case of retail establishments, in which absolute consumer loyalty is not realistic and most shoppers purchase on a portfolio basis. In order to contribute to the understanding of customer loyalty, this thesis proposes and empirically tests a comprehensive conceptual framework aimed at analysing the psychological process underlying the development of customer loyalty in retail settings. Based on the reference-based paradigm and structured in two stages, the model considers three reference effects, i.e. functional congruity, alternative attractiveness and self-congruity and their role in the relationship between store environment and customer loyalty in grocery retail. The thesis acknowledges the pivotal role of self-congruity in the relationship between store environment and customer loyalty due to its interplay with the other reference effects. It also proves that market structure, shopping expertise and time pressure are of prime importance when analysing customer loyalty.

行動上網時代來臨，隨著連網技術成熟與裝置快速普及，微型應用程式（application，簡稱app）的應用應運而生，線上軟體平台產業快速成形，集廣大外部開發者之力共同創造價值與利潤。 激烈的平台競爭與初步的產業發展成果突顯出，面向多方參與者的平台對外部開發者守門的重要性，平台經營者如何在敞開大門的同時又能取得好的創意，背後應該有可供解釋的理由與作為。因此，本研究結合過去研究未有交集的多邊平台與守門理論兩觀點，期盼藉由研究成果回答三點研究問題：（1）線上軟體平台如何對外部開發者進行守門？（2）線上軟體平台之守門機制隨平台發展歷程有何變化？（3）線上軟體平台之守門機制對平台之經營績效有何影響？ 本研究所得到的初步結論：（1）線上軟體平台在開放與透過一系列「規範中有服務」的措施組成對外部開發者的守門機制，分為「價值獲取型」守門機制與「價值創造型」守門機制兩類。（2）線上軟體平台守門機制在「導入期」與「成長期」是處於「開放中有封閉，封閉中有開放」的狀態，價值獲取型守門機制從導入期至成長期是封閉趨向開放，價值創造型守門機制從導入期至成長期是開放趨向封閉。（3）線上軟體平台非獲利中心，而是生態系統的一控制點。 / Internet infrastructure and technology have advanced, we have now entered the Mobile Internet Device era. Online marketplaces form and applications sprout, stimulating an ecosystem worthy enough for external developers to dive in, grabbing the value in this co-creating process. However, managing the online marketplace is difficult. Developing a place to encourage participation for external developers as well as to gate keeping the platform quality is not an easy task. Up to this day, we can observe different online marketplaces develop different approaches. This research combines the prospective from multi-sided platforms theory and gatekeeping theory in view to answer three questions: (1) What is the gatekeeping strategy for online marketplaces? (2) As online marketplaces develop, how does the gatekeeping process change? (3) What influence does gatekeeping strategy has on online marketplaces performance? This study has found: (1) Two different strategies multi-sided platforms use for gatekeeping forming regulation and services for external developers are “Value Proposition” and “Value Creation”. (2) From the “early stage” to the “developing stage” of multi-sided platforms, this research discovers two different movements on gatekeeping: “From Opened to Restricting” and “From Restricting to Opened”. “Value Proposition” strategy leans toward “From Restricting to Opened” state, while “Value Creation” strategy leans toward “From Opened to Restricting” state.(3) Multi-sided platform is not a place to generate interests, but a place to manage the ecosystem.

Bakgrund E-handeln utgör idag en allt större del av den totala detaljhandeln och kunder ställer högre krav på en sömlös shoppingupplevelse. Detta kräver en viss integration mellan försäljningskanaler vilket kan mätas i begreppen multi-, cross- och omni-kanal. Syfte Syftet med studien är att undersöka integrationen mellan försäljningskanaler inom svenska klädföretag samt lokalisera de mest problematiska områdena inom integrationsarbete. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur kommunikation, ledarskap och målsättning påverkar integrationsarbete. Metod Detta är en kvalitativ studie där det deduktiva angreppssättet använts, med inslag av det induktiva angreppssättet, där tidigare forskning legat till grund för utformandet av studien. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem fallföretag och där studiens KAI-modell legat till grund för intervjuguiden. Slutsats Tack vare studien kan vi konstatera att uppfattningen av begreppet integration på den svenska klädmarknaden är splittrad. Många företag har ett starkt kundfokus vilket leder till att interna lösningar åsidosätts vid ett integrationsarbete, vilket leder till meningsskiljaktigheter mellan försäljningskanalerna. Vidare kan vi se att kommunikation har en stark påverkan på integrationsarbete vilket även ledarskap och målsättning har, dock inte i samma utsträckning. / Introduction E-commerce is expanding within the retail industry and the customer’s demand for a seamless shopping experience is constantly increasing. This requires an integration of channels which can be measured by the terms multichannel, crosschannel and omnichannel. Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the integration between channels within Swedish clothing companies and to identify problematic areas within integration. Furthermore, the purpose is to investigate in how integration is dependent on communication, leadership and goalsetting. Method This qualitative study has a deductive approach but with elements of an inductive approach and was founded upon previous research. The study includes five business cases which has participated in a total of eight semi structured interviews and the study’s KAI-model has been used as a framework for the interviews. Conclusion The result of the study shows that there is a defuse definition of the term integration among Swedish clothing companies. The majority of companies within the study has a strong customer focus which has led to a lack of focus on internal processes which creates indifferences among the channels. The study also shows that communication has a strong impact on integration. Leadership and goalsetting also effects the work of integration but not in the same extent as communication.

The master thesis is focusing on development in consumer and buying behaviour in on-line grocery shopping. The first part characterizes the key concepts of this topic i.e. consumer, consumer behaviour, consumer behaviour´ models, buying behaviour, purchase decision process, e-business, e-commerce. The practical part of the thesis covers the analysis of quantitative marketing research results. The end is dedicated to suggestions and recommendations for services´ improvement of on-line grocery stores in the Czech Republic.

The main objective of my diploma thesis was to conduct an analysis of the shopping atmosphere at a selected retail unit from the perspective of Czech consumers, and the development of recommendations for its possible improvement. The main method selected for the analysis and for the actual investigation consisted of a questionnaire survey among customers. The retail unit selected for the research was Electro World České Budějovice. An analysis of the shopping atmosphere of ElectroWorld České Budějovice shows that most customers perceive it positively. This can be confirmed and identified by the fact that customers return to this store and make repeated purchases.

I investigated and found that this is true only when consumers are in a positive mood. When they are in a negative mood, consumers infer higher quality from a discount-looking shop. A between-design experimental survey has been conducted to analyze the impact of shopping environment, mood and shopping motivation on customers’ perception of quality and willingness to pay. Two mood conditions (positive/negative) have been created and induced to respondents at the beginning of the survey, along with two shopping environment conditions (upscale-looking/discount-looking) based on design, scent and sales personnel factors. Results show that shopping environment does not impact significantly the dependent variables but it interacts significantly with mood to determine quality perception; shopping motivation impacts significantly both quality perception and willingness to pay. / A literatura existente mostra que o ambiente do local onde se realizam compras impactua o comportamento do consumidor e que certos elementos favoráveis presentes neste local, estão associados a uma maior perceção de qualidade e uma maior disposição para comprar por parte dos consumidores. A autora investigou e descobriu que esta afirmação apenas se confirma quando os consumidores estão com bom-humor. Se em contrapartida, os consumidores estiverem com mau-humor, são os próprios que inferem uma maior qualidade aos produtos que sejam comprados numa loja de descontos. Realizou-se um questionário experimental para analisar o impacto do ambiente do local de compras, humor e motivação na perceção de qualidade e na disposição para comprar dos consumidores. Duas condições de humor (positivas / negativas) foram criadas e induzidas aos inquiridos no início do questionário, juntamente com duas condições de ambiente de compras (de alto nível / com desconto) baseadas em fatores como o design do espaço, o aroma e os empregados do local. Os resultados mostram que o ambiente do local de compras não afeta significativamente as variáveis dependentes, mas interage significativamente com o humor para determinar a perceção de qualidade dos produtos por parte dos consumidores. Por outro lado, a motivação para comprar afeta claramente tanto a perceção quanto a disposição para comprar.

Estimulados por diferentes aspectos de seu ambiente de negócios, os varejistas estão sempre inovando em seus formatos para atrair mais consumidores, atender melhor seu público, para superar a concorrência ou ainda aproveitar vantagens decorrentes do avanço da tecnologia. A estratégia traçada pelo varejista está diretamente relacionada com o formato da loja. Este formato, por sua vez, é resultado da oferta do composto mercadológico – características básicas deste varejista utilizadas para satisfazer as necessidades dos consumidores. A diversidade de formatos e de estratégias dos varejistas de confecção é grande. Apesar desta variedade, não foi encontrada na literatura uma classificação única, consensual e amplamente aceita, nem uma descrição destes formatos. Devido ao grande potencial do mercado de baixa renda aliado à importância econômica do varejo de vestuário, este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar como as empresas varejistas de confecção estão organizadas em relação ao seu formato, isto é, em relação às variáveis do seu composto mercadológico (produto, preço, apresentação, pessoal, promoção e localização). Assim, este trabalho pretende derivar empiricamente uma taxonomia dos formatos varejistas com base no composto mercadológico das lojas por meio de uma análise de agrupamentos. Os resultados apontam para a existência de quatro grupos atuando no segmento de confecção para baixa renda: Amadoras, Barateiras, Especializadas e Consolidadas. As principais características dos grupos são detalhadas neste trabalho. São apresentadas também as diferenças e semelhanças entre eles. Os grupos aparentam estágios distintos no seu desenvolvimento estratégico. De maneira especulativa é possível identificar um caminho evolutivo entre estes grupos de lojas. / New retail formats emerge constantly. Driven by different factors of their business environment, retailers are always evolving their formats to keep and attract costumers, to overcome the competitors or to benefit from the technology development. The strategy outlined by the retailer is directly related to the store format. This format, in turn, is the result of the retail mix offering – the retailer basic characteristics that are established to satisfy the consumers' needs. There are many different formats in the apparel retail segment. Despite that, it was not found in the literature one single, accepted and consensual classification for these formats. Given the great potential of the low income segment and the economic importance of the apparel retail business, the objective of this research is to investigate how apparel retailers develop their formats and organize their retail marketing mix (product, price, presentation, people, promotion and placement). This investigation is focused on a taxonomic analysis of retail formats based on the stores' retail mix, using a cluster analysis. The results indicate four store groups in the low income apparel retail segment: Non Professional, Cheap, Specialty and Professional. The main characteristics of the groups are detailed in this study. It is also presented the differences and similarities among the groups. These groups are apparently in different stages of strategic development. Speculations are raised about the way these groups of retail formats evolve.

In order to achieve their goals, manufacturers and retailers are executing different initiatives to attract new customers such as in-store promotions. However, both in the US and here in Brazil, the results of these actions are questioned. Retailers are also investing in their Private Labels (PLs), which can alter the competitive dynamics within the categories. In the United States and Europe, studies were conducted to assess in-store promotions, impulses and responses in short-term and long-term sales for National Brands (NBs) and also Private Labels (PLs). The research question of this study was to evaluate if in Brazil, an emerging market, the attractiveness of Weighted Distribution, Price and Promotions of National Brands and Private Labels provide similar responses to the impulses. In order to evaluate if the impulses provide long-term residual effects for National Brands (NBs) and Private Labels (PLs), Vectors of Auto Regression (VAR) model was used in a continuous panel of self-service food stores in Greater São Paulo, which is the main metropolitan region of Brazil. The databases by categories (powdered coffee, biscuit, and ready-to-serve fruit juice) contained information of 25 months (November 2013 to November 2015) for each variable (Weighted Distribution, Price and Promotions), by NBs and PLs. The result of this study points out that there is a difference in responses to the impulses (distribution, price, and promotions) between NBs and PLs. National Brands (NBs) showed a greater number of situations with positive residual effects on long-term sales. However, the long-term response on sales occurred only for less than the half of the total potential situations. In other words, more than half of the total potential situations give an absence of statistical significance. The study indicates that there are retailers developing differentiated actions with Private Labels and obtaining, in their sales, positive long-term residual effects. Although modestly, this study contributes to the retail literature by using an econometric model (VAR) to analyze the impulse in some in-store attractiveness variables their long-term sales response to NBs and PLs in an emerging market. In short, the main contribution from the observations of the analyzed categories is that it is possible to Private Label compete without price sensibility and also positioning PL above the average price of the category/segment. The results also suggest that there is an opportunity to review the modus operandi of in-store promotion to get better results. / Mercados emergentes são importantes para as receitas totais de fabricantes e varejistas internacionais. Estudos de companhias globais de pesquisa, que atuam no Brasil, apontam que os investimentos em ações promocionais no ponto-de-venda, pelas Marcas de Fabricantes, aumentaram, mas há questionamentos quanto ao retorno destas iniciativas. Os varejistas também têm investido em Marcas Próprias. Nos Estados Unidos e Europa há vários estudos sobre o estímulos dentro do ponto-de-venda para as Marcas dos Fabricantes e Marcas Próprias e o impacto nas vendas no curto e longo prazo. O objetivo central deste estudo é avaliar se, em um mercado emergente, o nivel de atratividade das ações realizadas pelas Marcas de Fabricantes e Marcas Próprias dentro das lojas proporcionam respostas similares de curto e longo prazo aos impulsos realizados. Para analisar os efeitos destes impulsos foi utilizado o modelo de Vetores de Auto Regressão (VAR) em um painel continuo de lojas de autosserviço alimentar, na principal região metropolitana do Brasil, a Grande São Paulo. As bases de dados por categoria (Café em Pó, Biscoito e Suco Pronto para Consumo), continham informações de 25 meses (novembro de 2013 à novembro de 2015), com dados de distribuição ponderada, preço e promoções, O resultado deste estudo aponta que há diferenças entre Marcas de Fabricantes e Marcas Próprias nas respostas de longo prazo aos estímulos promocionais. Embora as Marcas de Fabricantes tenham apresentado um maior número de situações com efeitos residuais positivos nas vendas de longo prazo do que as Marcas Próprias, apenas menos da metade das situações apresentaram resultados de longo prazo. O estudo também sinaliza que há varejistas desenvolvendo ações diferenciadas com Marcas Próprias e obtendo, em suas vendas, efeitos residuais positivos de longo prazo, na mesma intensidade das Marcas de Fabricantes. Embora de forma modesta, esta pesquisa contribui para a literatura ao utilizar um modelo econométrico (VAR) para analisar os impulsos aplicados em distribuição, preço e promoção das Marcas dos Fabricantes e das Marcas Próprias em um mercado emergente. A principal contribuição deste estudo, a partir das categorias analisadas, é que a Marca Própria, não necessariamente, precisa atuar apenas com um posicionamento de preço baixo e/ou reduzir preços para competir dentro da categoria ou segmento no qual está inserida. Além disto, o estudo também sugere que as há espaço para rever as práticas promocionais ou até operacionais, considerando o baixo retorno proporcionado para Marcas de Fabricantes e Marcas Próprias.

Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a principal mechanism for extracellular calcium entry in non-excitable cell types, and is primarily facilitated by the calcium- release activated calcium (CRAC) channel; itself comprised of the pore-forming Orai-1 and calcium-sensing Stromal interaction molecule (STIM)-1 proteins. Depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium stores initiates STIM-1 translocation to defined ER-plasma membrane puncta, and subsequent Orai-STIM interaction and opening of Orai. The importance of this mechanism in calcium signalling in diverse tissue types is becoming increasingly clear. The vascular endothelium is a dynamic tissue, involved in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis and haemostasis. Many endothelium-derived bioactive agents, such as endothelin-1, prostaglandins, and the potent vasodilator nitric oxide (NO), are known to be produced via calcium- dependent mechanisms. However, the role of the CRAC channel in the vascular endothelium is poorly defined with little known about downstream targets of calcium influx through CRAC channels. The dysregulation of NO production by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is a major contributory factor in many vascular disease states, yet the calcium channel responsible for eNOS activation has yet to be identified. Within this thesis, I establish the endothelial cell line sEnd.1 as a new model system for studying CRAC channel signalling in the vascular endothelium, defining sEnd.1 SOCE as being CRAC channel-dependent. Inhibition of CRAC channels with an array of inhibitors, and knock-down of STIM-1, both reduced ATP- and TG-induced SOCE. The sEnd.1 model system was subsequently used to identify calcium entry through the CRAC channel as the elusive activation mechanism for eNOS. Through real-time imaging with the fluorescent NO dye DAF-2-DA, we established that NO production is non-linear, with a slow initial increase preceding a faster NO production phase. These kinetics, with a characteristic delay before fast production have, to our knowledge, not previously been reported. The time taken to reach the fast phase of NO production could be manipulated through changes in both local and bulk calcium rises, which indicated roles for both elements of calcium signalling in eNOS activation. eNOS regulation by calcium is complex, occurring not only through direct binding of calcium-calmodulin, but additionally through changing post-translational modifications, which in turn regulate the calcium-dependency of eNOS, such as phosphorylation of Ser1177. We propose that the delay in fast production of NO is due to the time taken to alter eNOS post-translational modifications, which thus remove inhibition on eNOS. Activation of CRAC channels increased phosphorylation of residue Ser1177 via calcium-calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII), with a similar time course to that required to reach the fast phase of NO production. Inhibition of CaMKII increased the time taken to reach fast activation. In conclusion this thesis presents a new model system for investigation of CRAC channel signalling in the endothelium. Furthermore, we clearly identify a critical endothelial pathway as being regulated by CRAC channels, by demonstrating the production of NO in response to both ATP and TG, which stimulate calcium entry through CRAC channels.

It aims to understand the use of the different senses, which are: touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing in the point of sale itself. The object of study is Livraria Cultura, at Conjunto Nacional, since it s the biggest book store in Brazil, considering its dimensions. Since it s a contemporary phenomenon inside real life, the methodology is the Single Study Case and the methodology procedures are: direct observation of the customer at the point of sale, bibliography research and interviews with frequent customers and professionals in this area. We can conclude that the hedonistic characteristics of the contemporary customer, who searches for pleasant experiences associated to the synergy in integrated marketing communication, favors the positive results presented by the book store.(AU) / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar e discutir a ambientação como elemento de comunicação aplicado ao ponto-de-venda livraria e observar e analisar como as atuais lojas se adaptaram a uma realidade de mercado, que visa envolver o cliente em uma experiência prazerosa, tendo em vista a concorrência do comércio virtual e a crescente venda de livros em supermercados. Pretende-se, neste trabalho, compreender a utilização dos diversos elementos sensoriais que envolvem: tato, olfato, paladar, visão e audição no ponto-de-venda físico. O objeto de estudo é a Livraria Cultura do Conjunto Nacional, sua relevância ocorre pelo fato da livraria ser a maior loja em metros quadrados do país. Por tratar-se de um fenômeno contemporâneo inserido no contexto da vida real, a metodologia utilizada é o Estudo de Caso Único e os procedimentos metodológicos são observação direta do consumidor no ponto-de-venda, pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevistas com freqüentadores da loja e com profissionais do setor. Pode-se concluir que as características hedônicas do consumidor contemporâneo que busca experiências prazerosas associada a sinergia da comunicação integrada de marketing favorecem para os resultados positivos apresentados pela livraria.(AU)
