Title Evaluation of Factors Affecting the Decision-Making Process of Sneaker Purchase among Chinese Post 90s Consumers. Background Sneakers have become an essential part of the younger generation's wardrobe in today's society, reflecting the millennial drive for comfort and leisure. It ultimately portrays a playful and stylish image among post-90s consumers. In the colossal sneaker market, various factors influence consumers' purchasing decisions. Purpose The study's objective is to analyse the factors affecting the decision making process of Chinese post-90s consumers in purchasing sneakers. It explores factors behind consumers' purchasing behaviors that are special and different from those of consumers in other parts of the world in the vast market of China. The study focuses on strengthening the knowledge on the topic. Additionally, the study will provide information on what drives China's post-90s consumers' buying decisions on sneakers. Marketers will be able to analyse the factors and come up with services or sneaker products that satisfy consumers. The paper will summarize the factors that influence consumers' purchasing decisions of sneakers by combining literature surveys and interviews. Method Semi-structured interviews with 12 respondents were conducted. Through the analysis and coding of the interview, the key influencing factors in consumer decision-making are identified. The literature review analysed the five steps of consumer decision-making progress. Conclusion: Consumers make purchase decisions primarily based on their liking for products. Marketers should reasonably position the product range that consumers like and recommend them. Friends' recommendations and discussions influence consumers' purchasing behavior. Establishing good product experience and after-sales service in the marketing process affects brand reputation.

Developing a Components List for a Shoe Repair Kit for Leather Sneakers, Designed for Consumer UseGustafsson, Izabell, Nordholm, Ellen January 2023 (has links)
This thesis is being conducted by two final year Bachelor degree students, collaborating with a Swedish fashion brand producing leather sneakers with the aim to investigate the most common wear and tear of shoes in metropolitan and suburban environments. Shoes are readily known for having a relatively short product lifecycle and with few alternatives to prolong the materials usefulness at the end. Furthermore consumers find that the main problems that make them not want to repair, are mainly financial reasons and a lack of knowledge in repair methods. This study has conducted a survey to gain information of the most common wear and tears regarding shoes in order to meet what the consumers want for products in a repair kit. The study involved a qualitative interview about material expertise about the shoes used in this study with selected and qualified respondents from the fashion brand company. The data collected was sufficient to create a product list for a repair-kit and shows a PU-solution to repair damaged leather, heel patches to repair ripped lining, a cyanoacrylate glue to mend detached/broken outsoles and an informational manual should be the main components for the repair kit. This study is designed to work as a future recommendation specification of requirements to the company this study is collaborating with to prolong the time of usage for the shoes.

Identiteitsbeelding in poësie vir die adolessent : 'n vergelykende studie tussen 'n Afrikaanse en 'n Nederlandstalige bloemlesing / H.C. van der WaltVan der Walt, Hester Carina January 2004 (has links)
Anthologies composed for adolescent readers are rare in both Afrikaans and Dutch. These
anthologies are published at quite lengthy intervals, because they are post-publications in
which already published volumes are absorbed. These anthologies are, however, to an
increasing extent the medium by which readers become aware of poetry and are also
introduced to different poets. For that reason it can be concluded that anthologies inform
poetic taste.
The empathy and love towards poetry experienced by young children in both languages are
gradually replaced by an apathetic attitude towards poems and even an antipathetic attitude in
general during adolescence. The first reaction to poetry is usually emotional and this indicates
the way for further intellectual development. When selecting poems for the adolescent reader,
the different developmental aspects affecting the adolescent and his identity development
must be taken into consideration. The needs of the adolescent reader must be kept in mind.
Needs in reading develop as a result of general needs that should be satisfied in the first place.
Should this be the case, the need for reading would develop.
In this study different theoretical points of view, namely reader-response criticism,
developmental psychology, general needs and reading-related needs are used to determine the
representation of identity in poems. Specific theories of poetry are used as instruments in text
studies and analyses with regard to representation of identity in anthologies for adolescents.
Poems in Versreise (Vermaak et al.) and Met gekleurde billen zou her gelukkiger leven zijn
(Van Coillie) are analysed focusing on the representation of time and space, speaker and
perspective, atmosphere and metaphorical language. For the purposes of this study analyses
were conducted to evaluate and interpret the representation of identity in the texts of both
anthologies. The differences and similarities between the Afrikaans and Dutch poetry texts for
the adolescent had to be identified. The differences were used to determine which type of text
would support the Afrikaans identity, the Dutch identity or the Flemish identity. The
similarities, on the other hand, were used to determine the type of text that would not appeal
to the Afrikaans, Dutch or Flemish adolescents only, but to adolescents in general.
In this study method-pluralism is scientifically unavoidable. Different methods were
systematically combined to support the specific methods of approach. The research was done
in accordance with four methods: a synopsis of existing and appropriate theory of literature
and forming of theory with regard to relevant concepts and terms; the analyses of texts in two
anthologies; a summary of critical opinions stated in different reviews as well as surveys and
interviews based on consultations via e-mail with the different role players, i.e. the anthology
composers, illustrators and publishers. / Thesis (MA (Afrikaans en Nederlands))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.
