Abstract

I want first to relate the Rules and their preparation to as wide a professional canvas as possible. Secondly, I intend to connect that relationship with the principles upon which the Rules have been based and upon which their structure has been built. And finally I would like to describe briefly how their value has so far been established and related to current library services.

Abstract

The requirements for producing a current database, Chemical Business NewsBase (CBNB), updated weekly, including the data content, are briefly outlined. The use of BASIS for data capture, validation, manipulation, and output of the data is discussed with particular reference to the features which support the human element in production and which are used for quality control. Routine production and distribution of CBNB are further examined.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to empirically identify categories of online shopping experiences and web site functions facilitating these experiences, and to test the effect of those experiences on browser satisfaction, conversion, and online store performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Two analytical methods (survey‐based exploratory factor analysis and secondary data‐based regressions) were employed to test the mediating role of browser satisfaction between online shopping experiences and e‐tail performance for 115 top online retailers during 2006‐2008.

Findings

In addition to supporting the existence of such parallel in‐store and online experiences as sensory, cognitive, pragmatic, and relational, a new type of online shopping experience (interactive/engagement) was identified. It comprises customer involvement with the online store and with friends and other shoppers via the online store interface. The mediating role of browser satisfaction in increasing sales and traffic to online stores was confirmed.

Research limitations/implications

Future research should account for potential multi‐channel effects of online shopping experiences.

Practical implications

Investing in web site features that facilitate such social experiences as product reviews and ratings sharing, and interacting with the site itself (site personalisation and mobile interface), and through the site with others (social networking, wish list, e‐mail‐a‐friend, etc.), can positively influence site visitor satisfaction and lead to increased traffic and sales.

Originality/value

This paper is among the first to explore the nature and drivers of online shopping experiences. It uses multi‐method approach to identify which online shopping experiences significantly affect browser satisfaction and, consequently, store performance.

Abstract

Purpose

Mobile applications, or apps, are an increasingly important part of omnichannel retailing. While the adoption and usage of apps for marketing purposes has grown exponentially over the past few years, there is little academic research in this area. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the mobile phone platform (Android vs Apple iOS), interest in the app and recency of store visit affect consumers’ likelihood to use the apps for purchasing and information-sharing activities.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper tests a model by analysing survey data collected from customers of a major US retailer using partial least squares regression.

Findings

The analysis finds that the level of interest in a retail app is positively related to the consumer's intention to engage in both purchasing and information-sharing activities. In addition, the recency of the consumer's last visit to the retail store has a moderating effect on both types of activities; the more recent the last visit, the larger the effect-size of interest in the app on intention to share information and make a purchase.

Practical implications

While marketing and advertising managers may have suspected that Apple iOS users are more receptive to retail mobile apps, this study provides empirical support for the proposition. In addition, the moderating effect of recency of visit suggests that in-store promotions may be effective in increasing usage of the retailer's mobile apps.

Originality/value

This study is among the first in the academic literature to examine predictors of mobile app usage for purchasing and information sharing. It fills a gap in the literature, while at the same time providing actionable information for practitioners.

Abstract

The Handbook of Supersonic Aerodynamics, when complete, will contain twenty‐one Sections comprising six volumes. The U.S.A. Naval Bureau of Ordnance is responsible for its publication and distribution; the general editorship is is in the hands of the Johns Hopkins University; specialist individuals or organizations prepare the Sections. The latter are published, not in any particular order, but as they become available; so far, from 1950 onwards, Sections 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 12, and 15 have appeared. With the exception of Section 15, which is mainly a set of tables, they have been reviewed in aircraft engineering, in May 1952, November 1952, November 1958, and February 1960. Taken as a whole, the Handbook promises to be a most important document. It gives basic ideas, quotes appropriate formulae and gives references to the literature, and contains extensive charts calculated from the formulae quoted. It is, therefore, much to be regretted that many Sections are so long in appearing: we still await about half the Handbook, and already the reviewer is informed that several of the earlier Sections are now out of print.

Abstract

Robert Franklin Hoxie was of the first generation of University of Chicago economists, a figure of significance in his own time. He is often heralded as the first of the Institutional economists and the impetus behind the field of labor economics. Yet today, his contributions appear as mere footnotes in the history of economic thought, when mentioned at all, despite the fact that in his professional and popular writings he tackled some of the most pressing problems of the day. The topics upon which he focused included bimetallism, price theory, methodology, the economics profession, socialism, syndicalism, scientific management, and trade unionism, the last being the field with which he is most closely associated. His work attracted the notice of some of the most famous economists of his time, including Frank Fetter, J. Laurence Laughlin, Thorstein Veblen, and John R. Commons. For all the promise, his suicide at the age of 48 ended what could have been a storied career. This paper is an attempt to resurrect Hoxie through a review of his life and work, placing him within the social and intellectual milieux of his time.
