Group buying is one dynamic pricing application and it is a mechanism permitting consumers to gather bargaining power in order to get a volume discount or other premiums. In group-buying, the price depends on the number of collected orders. Given a price curve shows the existing orders and current price, the consumer will have some expectation of value and uncertainty for future price. Previous literatures found both the positive participation externality effect and price-drop effect from the field data (Kauffman and Wang, 2001; 2002). Because there are no variable controls from the field study, we can not really know what reasons cause these phenomena in group-buying. Thus, this study will use experimental methodology to the existence of these two effects and understand why they happen. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether positive participation externality effect and price-drop effect exists in group-buying and to explore whether the two effects are related to consumers¡¦ perceived risk and perceived value, whether the intention to join group-buying is influenced by perceived risk and perceived value. The study shows that the two effects really happen in group-buying. Participation externality effect is caused by financial risk, time risk and perceived value. However, price-drop effect is generated from financial risk. Additionally, consumers have higher intentions to join group-buying when they perceive lower financial risk and more perceived value.

Vi har gjort en kvalitativ undersökning av hur en bank på den svenska marknaden upprätthåller kundrelationer via en Internetbaserad distributionskanal. Vi har utfört en intervju med Danske Banks Head of Channels Daniel Wahlström för att insamla primärdata för att undersöka och analysera vilka faktorer som är essentiella för att upprätthålla kundrelationer vid en fysisk distansering från kund. Analys av primärdata har skett utifrån utvalda relevanta teorier och perspektiv som behandlar kundrelationer, tjänstekvalitet, kundlojalitet, kundupplevt värde, e-lojalitet samt Customer Relationship Management. Resultatet av studien visar att banken har ett väl fungerande arbete med kundrelationer och sitt CRM-system utifrån de teorier som studien har baserat sig på. Alltjämt försöker banken anpassa sig efter distanseringen från det fysiska bankkontoret till en Internetbaserad kanal där tjänsten också har utvecklats jämsmed kund. Dock kvarstår en del emotionella utmaningar i arbetet med en personlig relation med kund i denna kanal. / We have made a qualitative study of how a bank in the Swedish banking market, maintain customer relationships through an Internet-based distribution channel. We conducted an interview with Danske Bank's Head of Channels Daniel Wahlström to collect primary data to examine and analyze the factors that are essential to maintain customer relationships in aphysical distancing from the customer. Analysis of primary data have been selected on the basis of relevant theories and perspectives that addresses customer relations, service quality, customer loyalty, customer perceived value,e-loyalty and customer relationship management. The results of this study show that the bank works successfully with customer relationships and its CRM system based on the theories in which the study is based on. Although the bankis still trying to adapt to the distancing from the physical branch office to an Internet-based channel in which the service has also developed along the customer. However, there remain some emotional challenges in a personal relationship with the customer in this channel.

Malgré de nombreuses recherches portant sur l’innovativité interculturelle du consommateur, l’impact de la culture sur la valeur perçue d’un attribut innovant ne fait pas l’objet de publication. Cette thèse cherche à répondre à ce besoin en étudiant l’impact de la culture nationale sur la valeur perçue de l’attribut innovant des produits technologiques dans deux pays européens majeurs (France et Allemagne), membres de la zone euro. Cette thèse s’appuie sur le modèle interculturel GLOBE pour étudier les différences culturelles entre ces deux pays. Les résultats sont fondés sur une étude de consommateurs quantitative (N=793) utilisant la méthode de l’analyse conjointe basée sur le choix et l’échelle d’attitude « sensibilité au prix ». Les résultats confirment l’impact de la culture nationale sur trois concepts liés à l’attitude du consommateur face au prix de lancement d’une innovation technologique : la valeur perçue par un consommateur de l’attribut innovant d’un produit, l’importance qu’un consommateur accorde à la présence d’un attribut innovant lors du choix d’un produit et la sensibilité du consommateur au prix d’une innovation. Le rôle modérateur du revenu sur ces relations constitue également un résultat majeur. / Despite extensive research on intercultural consumer innovativeness, existing literature does not cover the topic of impacts of national culture on the perceived value of innovative product attributes. This study attempts to fill this gap, by studying the perceived value of innovative attributes, with regards to high-tech products across two major European countries (Euro zone members: France and Germany) using the GLOBE intercultural model as a framework. The results are based on quantitative consumer research (N=793) using Choice Based Conjoint Analysis and the Price Sensitivity Scale.The author’s findings highlight that national culture significantly impacts three aspects of consumer attitude with regards to the launching price of high tech innovations. These three variables are: the perceived value of innovative product attributes, the importance of innovative product attributes for consumers and the price sensitivity towards innovative products. In addition, the research identifies the moderator effects of consumer income on these relations.

Introduktion: Revisionen har sedan länge haft en viktig roll i att säkerställa tillförlitligheten hos företags finansiella information men kan utöver detta ses som betydligt mer flerdimensionell i och med sin rådgivande funktion. Att utforska vilka värden de som företräder de redovisningsskyldiga bolagen upplever av revisionen kan vara värdefullt då de både påverkar och påverkas av denna. De kommunala bostadsaktiebolagen skiljer sig åt i både ägarstruktur och revision från privata bolag vilket kan påverka bolagsföreträdarnas upplevda värde av revisionen och är därav relevant att undersöka.  Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utforska företagsledares uppfattning om revisionens värde i kommunala bostadsaktiebolag.  Metod: Studien är av kvalitativ karaktär och har utgått ifrån en deduktiv ansats.             Empirin har samlats in genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att företagsledarnas upplevda värde av revisionen i huvudsak uppkommer i och med dess kontrollerande och granskade funktion, vilket tyder på att dess traditionella funktion fortfarande är högst aktuell. En möjlig förklaring till detta kan vara bolagens kommunala ägande. Samtidigt visar studien att revisionen i olika utsträckning skapar värde i och med sin rådgivande funktion. Uppfattningen om lekmannarevisionen styrker dock inte en liknande slutsats, och bidrar enligt insamlad empiri inte  i någon större utsträckning till värde för bolagen. / Introduction The audit has long had an important role in ensuring the reliability of corporate financial information but can be seen as considerably more multi dimensional with its advisory function. Investigating what values company representatives are experiencing from the audit can be valuable as they both affect and are influenced by its function. The public housing companies differ in both ownership structure and auditing, which may affect the company representatives perceived value from the audit and is therefore relevant to investigate. Purpose The purpose of the study is to explore business executives views on the audit value creation in public housing equity companies. Method The study is of a qualitative nature and is based on a deductive approach. The empirical data has been collected through semi-structured interviews. Conclusion The results of the study show that the business executives perceived value of the audit is mainly due to its controlling and auditory function, which indicates that its traditional function is still highly relevant. A possible explanation for this may be the municipal ownership of the companies. At the same time, the study shows that the audit to varying degrees is creating value with its advisory function. The perception of the layman auditing does not however reinforce a similar conclusion, and does not contribute to the value to any significant extent according to the study.

Given that the perceived value is a strategic imperative in the 1990s to the producers and retailers and is still of importance today. Since it first entered the concept of strategic management, then expanded to the guidelines geared to the client (focuses on the needs and desires of customers) and for the market (considering the market potential and competition), the perceived value has It is the foundation for all marketing activities and that is not to make their segments, such as political marketing? So with the increasing convergence of political marketing with commercial and marketing studies that seek, through the understanding of the attitudes of voters, define the variables that influence their decision making and predict the factors favorable to the achievement of a successful election campaign, this study aims to consider the applicability of the use of "customer perceived value" in the political context and investigate, through the behavioral characteristics of voters, as characterized using the perceived value in the elections. The research is worth qualitative method, with application of Laddering to collect data through indepth interviews, and subsequently using the content analysis to characterize the perceived value in the elections, through the half-chain model end (Means-end Chain Model). 27 items were coded, 9 attributes, 10 consequences and 8 values. The chain is formed by the dominant attribute found "Honesty / Justice," the consequence "correct application of public funds" and values "Better quality of life" and "social welfare". Through its research and other results, we find a more volatile then the actual voters, which seeks to assess the political or even more considering both very personal characteristics of the applicant, related to their image and behavior, as his proposals for party-political campaign. Not noticed in any of the voters any party identification, although the party loyalty of politicians have been raised as a factor of credibility. Indeed, voters have to contemplate the elections not only as a means to promote democracy and improve the life in society, but also to gain personal benefits through means-end chains in this research, the study of the perceptions of voters about the electoral process and their choices. / A realidade das democracias ocidentais contemporâneas, caracterizadas pelo enfraquecimento da identidade partidária e o aumento de aspectos mais singulares como as qualidades pessoais do candidato na orientação da escolha eleitoral, provocou novos comportamentos eleitorais e, conseqüentemente, novos estudos que buscam explicar essas mudanças políticas e também o comportamento mais volátil do eleitor. Sabendo-se que o valor percebido foi um imperativo estratégico na década de 1990 para os produtores e varejistas e continua sendo de suma importância nos dias de hoje. Sendo ele inserido primeiramente no conceito de gerenciamento estratégico, em seguida, expandido para as orientações voltadas ao cliente (preocupando-se em satisfazer necessidades e desejos dos clientes) e para o mercado (analisando o potencial do mercado e a concorrência), o valor percebido tornou-se base fundamental para todas as atividades de marketing e por que também não se tornaria para seus segmentos, como o marketing político? Assim, com a crescente convergência do marketing político com o marketing comercial e os estudos que buscam, através da compreensão das atitudes do eleitor, definir as variáveis que influenciam seu processo decisório e predizem os fatores favoráveis para a realização de uma campanha eleitoral bem sucedida, o presente estudo pretende considerar a aplicabilidade do uso do valor percebido do cliente no contexto político e investigar, através das características comportamentais dos eleitores, como se caracteriza o uso do valor percebido na escolha eleitoral. A pesquisa valeu-se de método qualitativo, com aplicação da técnica Laddering para coleta dos dados, através de entrevistas em profundidade e, posteriormente, o uso da análise de conteúdo para caracterizar o valor percebido na escolha eleitoral, através do Modelo de cadeias meios-fim (Means-end Chain Model). Foram codificados 27 elementos, sendo 9 atributos, 10 conseqüências e 8 valores. A cadeia dominante encontrada é formada pelo atributo Honestidade/Justiça , a conseqüência Aplicação correta das verbas públicas e os valores Melhor qualidade de vida e Bem estar social . Mediante a pesquisa e seus demais resultados, percebe-se então um comportamento mais volátil do eleitor atual, que busca avaliar o político considerando tanto ou até mais características bastante pessoais do candidato, ligadas a sua imagem e comportamento, quanto suas propostas político-partidárias de campanha. Não se percebeu em nenhum dos eleitores qualquer identificação partidária, embora a fidelidade partidária dos políticos tenha sido levantada como um fator de credibilidade. Na verdade, os eleitores demonstraram contemplar a escolha eleitoral não só como um meio de fomentar a democracia e melhorar a vida em sociedade, mas também de obter vantagens pessoais através das cadeias meios-fim apresentadas nesta pesquisa, pelo estudo da percepção dos eleitores sobre o processo eleitoral e suas escolhas.

Este trabalho de pesquisa apresentará uma aplicação metodológica para a medida do valor percebido na prestação de serviços de hospedagem. Conhecido o valor percebido, será possível compará-lo com os custos do serviço, bem como com os preços ofertados e, a partir daí, fornecer ao administrador uma base para o planejamento das ações de melhoria e para a priorização das atividades que oferecem maior valor, segundo a visão de cliente. O modelo pretende estimar o valor percebido que os consumidores formam no ambiente de serviços; focado no desempenho dos serviços e considerando valor um constructo relacionado com os atributos característicos do serviço que influenciam a preferência, e, como conseqüência, a escolha do consumidor. A modelagem proposta será ilustrada por meio de um estudo de caso contemplando um hotel de categoria econômica no interior de São Paulo, devendo ser tratado segundo o método de análise conjunta, técnica de estatística multivariada de análise de dados. Esta técnica busca atribuir a importância relativa que os consumidores (hóspedes) associam a um conjunto de características particulares na prestação de serviços, e o grau de utilidade percebida de diferentes níveis destes atributos / This study presents a methodology application for perceived value in hospitality industry. The knowledge of perceived value will help managers to compare these consumer preferences with operational costs, and also with price strategies, and then will give the managers a tool to their improvement actions planning, and also to choice the most important attributes to improve value for customers. This model intends to get the perceived values from a qualitative and quantitative research in service industry, focused on the services performance, considering value as a construct of attributes that explain service and influence the customer stated preference, and customer’s choice as a consequence. The empirical research will take place in a budget-hotel, located in the countryside of São Paulo State, and based on a multivariate conjoint analysis. This technique aims to give the relative importance which consumers (guests) associate to a group of particular characteristics in hospitality industry, and the degree of perceived utility of different levels of those attributes

This essay focus on the development and implementation of a model to evaluate consumer perceived value. Initially, itâs discussed the perceived value concept, its importance under strategy and marketing perspectives and its relation to price and quality. The model is presented, considering each step to be followed: perceived quality study of brands in the market; consumerâs perceptions of competitorâs prices; and the value map development, defined considering the relation quality/price for each brand in the market. The model applicability was tested in a soft drink category study in Fortaleza market, based in a survey with 400 consumers. The application shows that the model, built under consumerâs point of view, can provide a descriptive panel of competitorâs positions and relevant information to be used in market diagnoses. The information and the descriptive panel mentioned can be useful, not only in strategic analyses, but also in price formulations. / Esta dissertaÃÃo està centrada no desenvolvimento e utilizaÃÃo de um modelo para a avaliaÃÃo do valor percebido pelos consumidores. Inicialmente, à discutido o conceito de valor percebido, sua importÃncia sob as perspectivas estratÃgicas e mercadolÃgicas e sua relaÃÃo com o preÃo e a qualidade. O modelo à apresentado a partir da descriÃÃo dos passos necessÃrios para sua aplicaÃÃo: o estudo da qualidade percebida de cada marca; o levantamento das percepÃÃes dos consumidores com relaÃÃo aos preÃos dos concorrentes; e o desenho do mapa de valor, que à traÃado a partir das relaÃÃes qualidade/preÃo definidas para cada marca do mercado. A aplicabilidade do modelo foi testada atravÃs de um estudo da categoria de refrigerantes no mercado de Fortaleza, que envolveu uma pesquisa do tipo survey junto a 400 consumidores. Verificou-se que o modelo fornece um quadro descritivo dos posicionamentos mercadolÃgicos dos concorrentes e outras informaÃÃes relevantes para o diagnÃstico de mercado, considerado sob a Ãptica dos consumidores. As informaÃÃes e o quadro descritivo citados podem ser utilizados para anÃlises e formulaÃÃes estratÃgicas e para a formaÃÃo de preÃos.

Abstract This study is concentrated on value creation in the context of the software business, especially the enterprise system solution business. The purpose of this study is to increase both theoretical and empirical understanding of value creation in this specific context through the integration of economic value creation theories and software development. The theoretical framework includes the perspectives of both the customers and the suppliers, and their interactions during the value creation process. For this study, the main perspective is that of the supplier. The customer, therefore, is like a mirror from which the requirement for action (on the part of suppliers) originates. The main focus is the understanding that the use period is important, which concretises the made-value offering and determines the future of the collaboration. The empirical material is collected through interviews of four software organisations. The research strategy is the qualitative case study, which is fulfilled with the narrative method. The interviews performed were quite expansive, and allowed interviewees to share examples and real-life stories. As a result of the empirical analysis, the use period is at the heart of the value-creation process, because the software’s success depends on the use experience. Understanding both the reason and the use purpose is the key to support customer’s use process. Learning from the customer’s use process is extremely important and increases everyday interaction. It is true, that the focus broadens from evaluating basic attributes of the relationship as a whole to include an evaluation of cumulative experiences. Satisfaction is strongly linked to behavioural outcomes. While use experiences have been researched widely, but their connection to economic theories (and value in particular) is not very well known. Theoretically, the challenge is to connect abstract value concepts to the more practical area of software business theories. This study finds connection by explicitly tying user experiences with the types of efforts that suppliers make (and the theories that inform these efforts) to create value. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimus keskittyy arvontuotantoon ohjelmistoliiketoiminta kontekstissa, erityisesti ratkaisuliiketoimintaan. Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on lisätä sekä teoreettista että empiirista ymmärrystä arvontuotannosta integroimalla taloustieteen arvontuotantoteorioita sekä ohjelmistoratkaisujen kehitystä ja käyttöä. Ohjelmistojen käytöstä syntyvää taloudellista arvoa on tutkittu todella vähän, vaikka käyttäjäkokemukset ovat keskeinen osa ohjelmistojen suunnittelua. Taloustieteen, erityisesti markkinoinnin, näkökulmasta arvoa on tutkittu laajasti, mutta tutkimukset keskittyvät asiakkaan ostopäätöksiin ja myyntiprosesseihin eivätkä tuotteen/ palvelun käytöstä saatavaan hyötyyn. Teoreettinen viitekehys sisältää sekä asiakkaiden että toimittajien näkökulman vuorovaikutuksen aikana arvontuotantoprosessissa. Päänäkökulma on toimittajan, joten asiakas on kuin peili josta vaatimukset saavat alkunsa ja jonka kautta tehdyt ratkaisut tulevat näkyviksi. Empiirinen materiaali on kerätty tekemällä haastatteluja neljässä ohjelmistoalan yrityksessä. Tutkimusstrategia on laadullinen tapaustutkimus, jota on täydennetty narratiivisella menetelmällä. Käyttöjakso on arvontuotantoprosessin sydän, koska ohjelmistoratkaisun menestys riippuu käyttökokemuksesta. Käyttötarkoituksen ymmärtäminen on avain asiakkaan käyttökokemuksen tukemiseen. Asiakkaan käyttökokemuksesta oppiminen on erittäin tärkeää ja osa vuorovaikutusta. Käyttökokemuksen arvioinnissa sekä hyvät että huonot kokemukset kasaantuvat ja saattavat aiheuttaa yllättäviä reaktioita. Tutkimus yhdistää käyttäjien käyttökokemukset ja toimittajan pyrkimykset vaikuttaa näihin kokemuksiin arvonluomiseksi. Käyttäjien kokemalla arvolla on merkitystä sekä ohjelmistoliiketoiminnan kannattavuuden ja kasvun että käyttäjäkeskeisen suunnittelun kannalta.

La Responsabilité Sociale des Entreprises (RSE) a été étudiée par de nombreux chercheurs et professionnels du monde de l'entreprise ; ces travaux montrent que les consommateurs adoptent une attitude plus positive envers les entreprises qui agissent de manière responsable. Cependant, ils suggèrent également que les consommateurs restent encore sceptiques aux argumentaires développés par les entreprises sur leur responsabilité sociale et donc qu'une méfiance s'est instaurée envers les marques. Cela implique, que les entreprises doivent veiller à ce que leur communication n'éveille pas de sentiments négatifs. Par ailleurs et conséquemment aux effets de la crise économique mondiale, les consommateurs se préoccupent de plus en plus de leur pouvoir d'achat. Dès lors, ils peuvent estimer ne pas avoir les moyens de payer leurs produits provenant des entreprises engagées. Ces résultats sont issus principalement de travaux portant sur la communication des grandes entreprises. Néanmoins, aucun n'étudie spécifiquement les effets sur les consommateurs de la communication sociétale des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (PME), en terme de valeur perçue de la marque et de confiance. Or, les PME présentent un grand intérêt de recherche, tant au niveau national qu'international. Aussi, l'absence de résultats empiriques sur la valeur perçue est surprenante compte tenu du fait qu'elle est considérée comme un antécédent naturel à la fidélité (Holbrook, 1994, 1999 ; Sirieix and Dubois, 1999 ; Frisou, 2000 ; Chaudhuri and Holbrook, 2001; Aurier, et al., 2001). De ce fait, ce travail se propose de combler ce manque théorique et empirique en proposant de mieux comprendre les effets des discours socialement responsables des entreprises sur deux dimensions de la valeur perçue : la valeur sociale et la valeur éthique. De plus, l'étude s'intéressera à la confiance des consommateurs. L'objectif est de mieux comprendre : « Quelle est l'influence de la communication RSE sur la valeur perçue et la confiance des consommateurs envers les marques ? » Pour ce faire, le choix d'un visuel de magazine d'une marque fictive agroalimentaire a été fait. En effet, il a été considéré comme stimuli et canal de communication pour l'expérimentation. L'objectif était d'évaluer l'impact de la communication d'une PME impliquée dans une démarche responsable sur la valeur perçue et la confiance du consommateur. Un questionnaire en ligne auprès de 645 consommateurs a été mis en place pour tester quatre messages responsables (les messages portait sur la dimension environnementale, ou sociale, ou encore sociale et environnementale à la fois et un message de contrôle). Les résultats montrent l'intérêt pour les PME de communiquer prioritairement aux consommateurs des messages portant sur la dimension environnementale. Les résultats suggèrent que le message environnemental non seulement est plus efficace sur les valeurs éthique et sociale mais engendre également une confiance accrue des consommateurs envers la marque. De plus, cet impact positif suggère qu'il est pur, car il n'est pas modéré ni par le scepticisme du consommateur ni par sa préoccupation concernant son pouvoir d'achat. L'originalité de la recherche réside dans la prise en compte de la théorie de la valeur perçue dans une perspective de communication responsable. Enfin, la conceptualisation et l'étude de l'impact de ce genre d'argumentaire permettent de développer une façon plus efficace pour les PME de communiquer leurs engagements responsables aux consommateurs. / Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been studied by academics and business leaders and they have proven that consumers develop a positive attitude towards companies that behave in socially responsible ways. However, they also suggest that CSR communication is subject to consumer scepticism. This implies that organizations and brands while communicating about their CSR activities may have the risk to be encountered with consumers' disbelieve. Furthermore, the previous global economic crisis limits CSR effectiveness due to consumer's concerns regarding their purchasing power. As a result, customers may feel guilty or unable to pay for products coming from engaged enterprises, which are considered sometimes by consumers as premium products. Moreover, a large body of research on CSR communication discusses the effectiveness of the message content and the efficiency on communication channels, within the case of multinational enterprises. However, there is little research linking CSR communication in the case of SME and perceived value and trust, whereas the topic of SME is an important research issue for national or international governmental entities. Also, the lack of empirical research on this issue is surprising, as perceived value and trust are considered by researchers as natural antecedents of customers brand loyalty ((Holbrook, 1994, 1999; Sirieix and Dubois, 1999; Frisou, 2000; Chaudhuri and Holbrook, 2001; Aurier, et al.,2001). As a result, this work aims to fill this gap in order to better understand the effects of socially responsible communication on two dimensions of perceived value: social value and ethical value and consumers' trust. In order to enhance understanding with regards to our research question: “What is the influence of CSR communication on perceived value and trust”, a qualitative research was conducted with consumers and practitioners. Additionally, an experiment has been conducted in which the level of CSR involvement from an SME in the food industry has been manipulated. A set of four different printed ad magazines has been considered as stimuli and communication channel for the experiment: one with an environmental message, with a social message, message or with a mix of these two messages together (social and environmental) or a control message. An online survey is conducted to a heterogeneous sample of consumers (n=645) Results reveal an interest for the SME to communicate prioritary through their environmental engagements. Results suggest that the environmental message is not only more effective on the ethical and social value perception but on consumers trust as well. Also, neither scepticism nor consumer's purchasing power concern show to moderate the positive effect between the CSR communications on perceived value and trust. The originality of the research lies in the consideration of the perceived value theory on the CSR communication research. More generally, the conceptualization and the study of perceived value on CSR communication highlight a more efficient CSR communication strategy between consumers and the SME.

[pt] O presente estudo busca identificar os fatores que influenciam o engajamento dos consumidores em relacionamentos com varejistas virtuais de modo a aprimorar o e-CRM. Para tanto, utiliza-se um modelo teórico (KIM et al., 2008) para analisar como as experiências dos consumidores, através do valor percebido (crença cognitiva), da satisfação (experiência afetiva) e da confiança (intenção conativa de relacionamento), influenciam seu comprometimento com livrarias virtuais. Procura mensurar ainda três variáveis exógenas que afetam a experiência de compra na internet, referentes à qualidade percebida de produto, de serviço e à equidade de preço percebida. O estudo analisa uma amostra de 303 consumidores de livrarias virtuais de domínio nacional para, através de equações estruturais, identificar as relações entre os construtos do modelo adotado. Ao final da análise, os resultados obtidos demonstram a dificuldade de construção de relacionamentos com o consumidor no segmento analisado. / [en] This study aims to identify the factors influencing the engagement of consumers in virtual relationships with retailers in order to enhance the e-CRM. For this, a theoretical model (KIM et al., 2008) is used to analyze the consumer experiences through perceived value (cognitive beliefs), satisfaction (affective experience) and confidence (conative intention of relationship), influence their commitment to online booksellers. It also seeks to measure three exogenous variables that affect the shopping experience on the internet, the perceived product and service quality and the perceived fairness of price. The study analyzes a sample of 303 consumers of online booksellers national domain, by means of structural equations, identify the relationships between the constructs of the model adopted. After the analysis, the results demonstrate the difficulty of building relationships with the consumer segment analyzed.
