Eleni Kevork Supervisors: Prof. Georgios I. Doukidis, Dr. Adam Vrechopoulos Starting date: November 2003 Short Description The evolving diffusion of multi-channel retailing has created a strong need for research in the corresponding conventional retailing research topics, adopting, however, a multidisciplinary research approach. To that end, Web Atmospherics constitute one of the most important online consumer behaviour influencing factors and must be included in the aforementioned research agenda. Research, however, on that particular topic is still on its infancy compared to the established literature in the area of conventional retailing. The present study presents the available research insights and depicts both the emerging Web Atmospheric variables and the corresponding consumer behaviour influenced dimensions. Specific avenues for further research and guidelines for designing causal research approaches will be also discussed. Eleni's personal info |
