Purpose: This article aims to analyze whether the relationship between the origin of the product and the perception of risk of counterfeiting affects the purchase intention in B2B relationships. Design/methodology/approach: Through an experiment, eight scenarios were developed that describe a purchase situation with risk of acquiring a counterfeit product. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and logistic regression were subsequently applied for statistical tests. Results: The results suggest that purchase intention is affected by the origin of the product. Likewise, managers perceive the risk of counterfeiting in B2B relationships. Practical implications: There is a tendency for managers to analyze a purchasing process by looking at different variables in the process. When relating the origin of the product with the perception of counterfeiting risk, purchasing managers have a strong tendency not to carry out the transaction. Originality/value: Counterfeit products have definitely entered the list of risks and must be fought, as they threaten the integrity of supply chains. This study highlights the importance of discussing counterfeit products and the possibility of them entering supply chains through the firms’ purchasing process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Actualmente, existen muchas aplicaciones para buscar viviendas en venta o alquileres (aplicaciones web y móviles), así como los sistemas utilizados por bienes raíces (aplicaciones independientes), aplicativos que solo puede ser utilizado por la empresa los usuarios o propietarios están obligados a visitar dichas imbiarías para poder hacer todas sus gestiones correspondientes. Si nos vamos a métodos más prácticos hay aplicativos móviles donde los usuarios pueden acceder, pero estos sol les permite hacer consulta de los inmuebles a rentar o comprar, de aquí es de donde viene la idea de un proyecto que tiene como objetivo mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas, facilitándole el agilizar de una forma más sencilla los procesos de arrendamiento y compra de un inmueble, beneficiándose el arrendador y arrendatario. Pero también queremos una herramienta importante para los propietarios, que le permita administrar sus propiedades desde el mismo aplicativo, como el poder ofertar sus inmuebles, proceso de arrendación, y proceso de compra, sin tener que pagar un gran pago inicial en bienes inmuebles físicos, lo que se traduce en ahorros para el usuario. Con esta aplicación móvil, el tiempo de respuesta se reduce durante todo el proceso.

Objective: urbanization and migration to large centers has caused changes in the behavior of meat consumers, not only with regards to product choice based on product quality and safety, but also the purchasing process. In this sense, factors such as proximity, product availability, and price are also factors affecting the purchase choices. This work aims to analyze the main factors associated with the consumption of these meats in the Federal District, Brazil, in an attempt to broaden our understanding of what consumers consider important, and to provide guidance. Method: this research was carried out in three different hypermarket networks. A socioeconomic evaluation of the interviewees was carried out, followed by the application of a survey, through structured affirmative sentences that were categorized in sociocultural, economic, health/food and environmental dimensions. The sentences were evaluated using the seven-point Likert scale. Socioeconomic data pertaining the interviewees were analyzed by Chi-square tests and the responses obtained through the Likert scale were transformed into Mean Item Score (MIS). Results and Conclusions: the results indicate that the quality control of the meat exposed in supermarkets and the possibility of finding the same type of meat in several different places are the main factors influencing the purchasing decisions of consumers of these meats.

Introducción: A nivel mundial, crece la preocupación de los consumidores por el bienestar de los animales, incluidas las gallinas en el caso de los huevos. Objetivos: Evaluar el efecto de las condiciones de alojamiento de las gallinas sobre algunas características del huevo. Métodos: El estudio se realizó en Costa Rica. Hicimos un análisis estándar de perfil de ácidos grasos de 30 huevos, seleccionados al azar para cada uno de los sistemas de alojamiento. También encuestamos a 777 consumidores habituales de huevos sobre sus hábitos de compra y consumo y aplicamos una prueba sensorial a 108 panelistas. Resultados: Las proporciones de ácidos grasos poliinsaturados / ácidos grasos saturados fueron de 0,58, 0,55 y 0,51 para pastoreo, piso y jaula, respectivamente. En el panel sensorial, el 40% de los panelistas se agruparon por su mayor agrado general hacia la muestra, con preferencia por los huevos de gallinas de pastoreo. Poco más de la mitad (55%) de la población muestreada desconocía los sistemas de producción de huevos. Conclusión: La proporción de ácidos de estos huevos costarricenses los califica como “alimento saludable” y casi la mitad de la población encuestada desconoce los sistemas de producción de huevos.

El presente artículo tiene como finalidad analizar los atributos que pueden ser asignados o contenidos en un producto que se ofrece en el mercado, desde sus distintos niveles y características, esto con el fin de reflejar su uso en la etapa de seducción de un cliente durante el proceso de compra, para lo cual, se analizarán los grados de incidencia y aceptación de un atributo por el mercado en la decisión de compra, sin contar con la posibilidad de obtenerlo de forma tangible. Para este proceso se utilizará la metodología descriptiva y documental, con base en más de 60 referencias bibliográficas de autores destacados en el tema y artículos de interés del campo. Los resultados pudieron demostrar como los atributos presentes en los productos siendo tangibles o intangibles se pueden captar y percibir de excelente forma por parte del cliente sin probarlo de forma física en el momento de la toma de decisión, de igual forma se ofrece una guía, de recopilación teórica para los procesos de construcción mercantil, de los atributos que presentan los productos y su distribución.

A abertura do comércio internacional alavanca a economia em geral, promovendo acordos e integrações de mercado, segundo Hidalgo e Feistel (2013). Sabe-se também que os produtos importados estão inseridos no comércio eletrônico e que os consumidores são atraídos por eles, mesmo sabendo os desafios logísticos de atravessar as fronteiras até a entrega final do produto. Analisando este contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a percepção entre consumidores de comércio eletrônico e a compra de produtos importados. A pesquisa foi realizada através de questionários distribuídos por redes sociais como facebook, linkedin, whatsappe e-mails. Os procedimentos metodológicos basearam-se em uma pesquisa com abordagem descritiva quantitativa. Os resultados foram obtidos pela amostra de 87 questionários respondidos e indicam que os consumidores de comércio eletrônico desta pesquisa têm maior percepção de segurança na compra de produtos, incluindo produtos importados. Embora ainda exista uma porcentagem considerável desse grupo que prefere comprar produtos importados em lojas físicas.

To identify and classify the distribution places where people in Ciudad Guzman buy food and why they do it, to describe how food buying practices are, it was developed, validated a questionnaire applied to 366 people between 25 and 64 years of age in the southern and Lagoon regions of Jalisco, analyzed through probabilistic statistics with a bayesian network model. The results indicate that it is purchased more frequently (38.26%) in grocery stores and in the supermarket more food groups are purchased (22.62%). The reasons for choosing an establishment and buying food were significantly (p <0.05) related to gender, the administration of the domestic economy, social aspects. Food purchases are diversified, going to traditional distribution spaces (91.09%) and modern distribution (8.91%) due to the need to eat, which goes against the trends registered in large cities.

El Museo Cerralbo, exponente del modelo de vida de la aristocracia decimonónica, se presenta como una Casa-Museo renovada que ha recuperado su estética y disposición original para comprender el coleccionismo en España a finales del siglo xix. Sus interiores nos transportan a las galerías de arte italianas y gabinetes científicos, y su principal coleccionista de arqueología, Enrique de Aguilera y Gamboa, XVII marqués de Cerralbo, es reconocido en la época como un «erudito viajero», interesado no sólo en las antigüedades clásicas sino también en la prehistoria reciente y los hallazgos arqueológicos que tuvieron lugar en Europa a lo largo del siglo, demostrando un interés especial por la arqueología más desconocida.

A embalagem é um objeto completo e complexo que reúne em si mesma duas grandes funções: a de conter o produto e a de o anunciar. Embora antagónicas estas duas funções coexistem na embalagem que, por um lado esconde o produto e, por outro o faz aparecer. O produto é o conteúdo da embalagem, é aquilo que consumimos e, a embalagem é apenas o seu contentor, contudo, a embalagem confunde-se com o produto tornando-os praticamente indissociáveis. A embalagem envolve, protege e dá forma ao conteúdo porém, essa função estrutural essencial tem como desvantagem a ocultação do próprio produto. Assim, se o conteúdo embalado fica oculto aos olhos do consumidor cabe à embalagem a tarefa de comunicar o que contém no seu interior. As imagens assumem assim o papel de anunciar o produto contido na embalagem de forma a torna-lo visível, mas também de o tornar apelativo ao ponto de influenciar a decisão de compra. As imagens são, portanto, o melhor património que o produto pode ter.

Continuamente la industria vitivinícola se preocupa de la alta competitividad del sector, creando productos más sofisticados y de mayor calidad. Sin embargo, dejan de lado un punto relevante que es la división o segmentación del mercado, generando estrategias comerciales generalizadas y no desarrollando productos y estrategias de marketing específicas diferenciadoras para mercados con características distintas. La industria de los vinos debe estudiar más en profundidad cuáles son las necesidades y deseos de cada uno de los segmentos de consumidores, para otorgar una mezcla comercial especializada y direccionada a cada segmento. Éste es un estudio exploratorio que muestra las diferencias en las preferencias de consumo y en el comportamiento de compra que presentaron los grupos etarios de una muestra de 488 consumidores de vino de la ciudad de Chillán, Chile. Los resultados indicaron que existen diferencias en las preferencias y en el comportamiento de compra de bebidas alcohólicas, según la edad del consumidor. También existe una correlación positiva entre la razón de consumo “me gusta el vino por su sabor y olor” y las ocasiones preferentes de consumo de vino cotidiana (almuerzo o cena), formal (almuerzo o cena), barbacoas, reuniones familiares y en restaurantes. Esto muestra la importancia de que el sector vitivinícola desarrolle estrategias de comercialización para cada uno de estos segmentos y también priorice que el sabor y olor del producto es fundamental en este mercado.

El presente estudio buscó identificar la presencia de relación entre la satisfacción con la vida,actitudes hacia la compra y el consumo y actitudes hacia el endeudamiento. La muestra se conformó por 744 personas pertenecientes a la ciudad de Temuco y la comuna de Padre Las Casas, a quienes se les administró la escala de satisfacción con la vida, la escala de actitudes hacia el endeudamiento y la escala de actitudes hacia la compra y el consumo. Los resultados muestran que un mayor nivel de satisfacción con la vida se relaciona de modo directo con actitudes hacia el endeudamiento austeras y actitudes hacia la compra racionales. Se reporta además que un nivel bajo de satisfacción con la vida correlaciona de modo inverso con actitudes hacia las compras compulsivas, impulsivas y hedonistas.

Since the decade of 1970 onward in Chile, there has been a substantial change in terms of economic behaviour, which stems mainly from the installation of a neoliberal socioeconomic model. The profound consequences of this change for the Chilean society can be seen to this day, 40 years later, and these consequences include: broader access to goods and services for segments of the population that were previously excluded and/or that were a privilege of the economic elites; the assignation of new meanings to the concepts of purchase; and saving and indebtedness. These are all key concepts for the development and comprehension the neoliberal model. Complementary, the study of university graduates' behaviour is especially relevant in this area, considering that higher education is often thought to play a substantial role in social mobility. In the Chilean context, the transformations of the educational system have favoured the expansion of the admission numbers up to the point that seven of ten Chileans that pursue a graduate degree are the first members of their family to reach this educational level. Considering the above, the present study aims to compare attitudes towards purchase, saving and indebtedness in graduates from a university in southern Chile, by gender, socioeconomic level and faculty. The study follows a quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental, ex-post-facto design, with a descriptive-correlational scope. A questionnaire was completed by 120 participants contacted via snowball method. The questionnaire included: the Attitudes toward Indebtedness Scale; Attitudes toward Saving Scale; and Attitudes toward Purchase Scale, a scale that evaluates the participants' socioeconomic level and other sociodemographic information to help describe the sample. Descriptive analyses were carried out, along with mean and median comparisons for gender, socioeconomic level and faculty (t tests for independent samples and Mann-Whitney U tests). Finally, correlation tests with Pearson's r test were carried out to test associations between the scales and subscales. Results showed a profile that is desirable in university graduates in terms of attitudes towards saving, indebtedness and purchase, that is: favourable attitudes toward saving, austerity (a subscale of attitudes toward indebtedness) and rationality (a subscale of attitudes toward purchase), as well as negative attitudes toward hedonism (a subscale of attitudes toward indebtedness), and compulsivity and impulsivity (subscales of attitudes toward purchase). In terms of comparison, differences were found when comparing participants by gender in terms of attitudes toward compulsivity, and by their socioeconomic level by attitudes toward austerity in the indebtedness. Both these differences, although significant, were low when considering their effect size. No differences were found when comparing the faculty to which participants belonged in terms of attitudes toward saving, indebtedness and purchase. Finally, results showed associations between attitudes toward saving and austerity and with rationality, and between compulsivity and austerity (inversely) and with impulsivity. These results highlight the need to strengthen the attitudinal aspect in higher education environments where economic literacy is carried out, aiming to prepare students for their insertion into the workforce and their role as active citizens. Limitations of this study include the subjective self-report measurements used, which are susceptible to the effect of social desirability. This limitation hinders the extrapolation of the results in terms of attitudes into actual behaviour in the real world. Another limitation comes from the sampling method used (snowball) and sample size, which does not allow to generalize the results to the population. Drawing from both findings and limitations, suggestions for future research in the subject of economic literacy and related issues are outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Spanish consumer has evolved according to the economic level and changes in life styles. The economic crisis between 2007 and 2015 resulted in the search for savings to face job uncertainties and consumer shifts towards more economic and basic products. Now we find a consumer who still has some behaviors from the recent crisis, along with other very relevant attitudes, such as the search for comfortable and convenient foods; indulgent foods (Premium, the boom of gastronomy), increased consumer awareness and the search for healthy alternatives in food. There are also other considerations that influence this behavior such as the fact that the consumer is increasingly connected (social networks, internet) and therefore more exposed to information (or misinformation in some cases). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: to gain a better understanding about consumers in order to be able to inform them, improve their protection and promote their responsibility, emphasizing the role of consumer organizations in improving the food literacy of the Spanish population.Methods: more than 2,000 families from all the Autonomous Regions of Spain participated in the "Survey on consumer habits 2016", which aimed to better understand the profile of the new Spanish consumer and encourage responsible consumption. We analysed consumer habits, factors that influence purchase and level of information of consumers.Results: some 65% of consumers choose supermarkets as their usual place of purchase; the purchase of fresh products is imposed on the rest. The data reflect dietary habits of citizens are less healthy than recommended and little knowledge about food allergen-free, ecological or transgenic foods. About 75% acknowledge that the economic situation forced them to change partially consumption and food habits. When selecting a product, people value the most quality and price, factors that together with the proximity of the point-of-purchase influence the choice of place of purchase. 71% of consumers say they look for information about products before buying them and find it on labels. They value information on expiration date, ingredients, price, place of origin and nutritional information. Only 71% difference between expiration date and preferential consumption.Conclusions: for a consumer association, nutrition education should not only contemplate the dissemination of information about food and nutrients, but also provide tools to know what to do and how to act to improve nutrition, creating environments that provide good food options and capabilities that allow to individuals, institutions and companies to commit to adopting healthier practices.
