Perceived value of microfinance and SME performance: The role of exploratory innovation

This study examines how perceived value of microfinance and exploratory innovation affect small and medium-sized enterprises(SME)performance in the context of a developing nation.Drawing on the strategic innovation and microfinance literature,we hypothesize that(1)perceived value of microfinance affects exploratory innovation and SME performance,and(2)exploratory innovation serves as an effective mechanism through which microfinance enhances SME per-formance.We employ partial least squares structural equation modeling(PLS-SEM)to test our hypotheses.Using a sample of 581 Ghanaian SMEs with microfinance,the results of the PLS SEM support our hypotheses.We further conducted a qualitative analysis of comments provided by the SMEs(n=144)to gain a deeper understanding of exploratory innovation in developing econo-mies.Our findings show that SMEs purposefully attempt to strengthen their exploratory inno-vation in microfinance.We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings as well as future research avenues.

As an emerging mountain vacation tourism product,ski tourism is becoming increasingly important in the domestic tourism market.As an important theory for studying the quality of consumer experience,perceived value has been widely employed in tourism research in recent years,and improving the ski tourism experience value has become the focus of competition among ski tourism destinations.Taking the ski tourists in Chongli District of Zhangjiakou as an example,305 valid questionnaires were collected by using online and offline methods.Based on the theory of perceived value,this paper adopted principal component analysis and cluster analysis to conduct a preliminary study of ski tourism experience and market segmentation.In addition,this paper examined the differences in demographic and behavioral characteristics of different types of ski tourists.This study finds that:(1)The perceived value of ski tourism experience includes four dimensions:facility value,perceived price,safety value and service value.(2)Using the perceived value to segment ski tourists,three different customer segments are identified:comfort-pursuant,price-sensitive and safety-oriented.(3)There are significant differences in key metrics,such as number of visits and stay time,among different types of ski tourists according to their demographic characteristics such as gender,age,monthly income,and behavioral characteristics.These results reveal the different dimensions of the perceived value of ski tourism experience and determine the market segments and characteristics of ski tourists.Developing a corresponding marketing strategy based on the different market segments can better promote the perceived value of ski tourists,and ultimately strengthen the competitiveness of the enterprises.

Apparel Brand Overlap Based on Customer Perceived Value and Eye-Tracking Technology

Competition in the apparel market has developed from preliminary price competition, quality competition, and scale competition to the current state of brand competition. The phenomenon of brand overlap cannot be avoided by apparel enterprises during the process of building and manufacturing their brands. This paper has selected nine identification elements of three dimensions, which we used to construct an apparel brand overlap identification model. This model is based on the theories of customer perceived value and brand identity and was constructed by taking consumer perspectives as the starting point. Two apparel brands from the representative international E Company have been selected as our empirical research objects. An apparel brand overlap identification model has been constructed based on questionnaire analysis and a cognitive experiment involving eye-tracking technology. In addition, the overlap elements among apparel brands, as well as the cognitive situation of consumers with regard to brand overlap, have been analyzed.

How does trip frequency distort time value to impact congestion charging schemes?

A notable feature of a city or region with close economic and social connections with its neighbours is its highly mixed local and external traffic,and in some cases the external traffic volume is almost as high as that of local traffic.Whilst local traffic volume may be largely made up of the same regular local commuters making frequent trips,external traffic from outside of the city(region)may not be the same people making regular trips to/from the city.However,from a large pool of people making infrequent trips to/from the city,the existence of external traffic is proven by data from the licence plate recognition system of road vehicles in Changde,China.The function of value of time correlated with the income/wage rate and trip frequency is exploited and verified statistically.The time value distorted by trip frequency is defined as perceived time value(PTV),which also influences the way travellers perceive any travel impedance such as congestion delay and toll charges.This paper analyses the price of anarchy(POA)when explicitly considering the travel frequency of the trip-makers and their PTV,and compares with previous analysis without considering travel frequency.We show that when travel frequency is considered,the optimal toll of congested road pricing schemes which converts road traffic flow from user equilibrium into system optimization is much lower than that without considering travel frequency.The cost of licence plate auction cannot be treated as a congestion toll,which is only a threshold of vehicle ownership.That travellers choose routes by PTV rather than TV(time value)is proven by an example of Heishipu Bridge in Changsha,Hunan Province,China.

Empirical Study of Brand-Customer Relationship Based on Customer Lock-In in Chinese Banking

The central construct of customer lock-in （CL） is measured and its role along with that of consumer loyalty in influencing the brand-customer relationship is tested. Using data collected from focus groups, a measurement model for CL is developed, and a structural equation model consisted based on literature review and our own theory is established. Moreover, the moderating effects of CL on the relationship between perceived value （PV） and brand relationship quality （BRQ） , as well as that between BRQ and brand loyalty （BL） based on data collected through a survey have been tested. Results indicate that consumer satisfaction is a critical factor in establishing brand-customer relationship, and the attitudinal brand loyalty is the key to obtain brand behavioral loyalty. Furthermore, CL tactics, such as decreasing consumers＇ learning cost and transactional cost facilitate the relationship building between customer and brand, while involuntary lock-in may have an adverse effect in the relationship building process. In addition, involuntary lock-in and loyalty program help in obtaining consumers＇ behavioral brand loyalty but not their attitudinal loyalty.

Retailers,You Can Get Omni-Shopper’s Satisfaction!

This paper evaluates the influence that information processing routes have on omni-shopping behavior,as well as analyzing the consequences of this behavior for retailers through a cognitive-affective approach.A sample of 705 mobile phone users was used for this purpose.The results obtained using the binomial logit model in a first phase and later with an application of structural equations,reflect that omni-shoppers have a more planned purchasing behavior than those who develop a one-stop shopping behavior.They search for information in a rational and deep way,spending time and effort.As for the consequences that the omni-channel behavior has for retailers,it has been found that those omni-shoppers who experience negative emotions with the retailer,have a low perceived value of the company and their satisfaction will also be negative.
