Consumers' Attitudes Towards Traceability Of Food And Meat Products, Kulmani Rana

Honors Theses

The purpose of this research is to survey consumers on their support for Radio Frequency Identification tags on fruit and vegetable containers and their willingness to pay for traceability of meat products.

There is real concern among consumers about implementation of traceability systems in food as well as meat products. …

The Essential Structure Of Compulsive Buying: A Phenomenological Inquiry, Letty Workman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The outcomes of this disease for individuals, families, and business are all negative.

Regulatory Focus, Regulatory Fit, And The Search And Consideration Of Choice Alternatives, Michel Tuan Pham, Hannah H. Chang

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This research investigates the effects of regulatory focus on alternative search and consideration set formation in consumer decision making.

Second, promotionfocused consumers tend to have larger consideration sets than do preventionfocused consumers. Building on these two primary findings, it is additionally shown that whereas promotion-focused consumers attach relatively greater value to options chosen from hierarchically structured sets, prevention-focused consumers attach relatively greater value to options chosen …

MBA Faculty Conference Papers & Journal Articles

Culture is integral to the learning process. It is the organization and way of life within the community of students and teachers and directs the way they communicate, interact, and approach teaching and learning. Although founded in particular values and principles, the academy, like most organizations, is impacted day-to-day by its culture. Yet, the traditional higher education institution has not been designed to operate within a racially or ethnically diverse student population. The social, political, economic, and cultural forces that support the institution influence the teaching and learning environments. To better address cultural diversity in the classroom, faculty must first …
