“…The highest shares were registered in Denmark (84%), United Kingdom (83%), Netherlands (80%), Norway (79%), Sweden (78%), Germany (77%) and Iceland (75%), yet only 59% of individuals purchase online in the Czechia (Eurostat, 2019a). Even though it could seem like there is a link between the level of economic development and e-commerce intensity, Kunešová and Eger (2017) proved the differences in development do not sufficiently explain the differences in the intensity of B2C e-commerce.…”

Considering a relatively slow adoption of online grocery shopping in the vast majority of the world markets, the main objective of this study was to uncover any new reasons why customers hesitate to shop groceries online. Moreover, we were not looking for undiscovered discouraging reasons only but also intended to validate previously researched reasons in published studies. Thus, we have first used a systematic literature review to cover all relevant previous studies on online grocery non-buyers. Even though this process is time-consuming, it provides a coherent overview of the published material on the topic. Further, we designed a web-based survey of 670 respondents from the general internet population. The data in open-ended questions related to online grocery attitudes and opinions were analysed by the content analysis. 14 thematic units emerged from the process from which the majority confirmed previously researched negative attitudes toward online grocery shopping. Non-buyers prefer to see grocery in person before buying it, there is a distrust in e-tailers to choose the best and freshest grocery, non-buyers prefer personal contact with the seller and behave habitually. Moreover, they tend to shop offline also because of hedonic reasons and pleasure from the shopping experience. Novel reasons why people hesitate to shop online in this category were the time consumption where consumers perceived online shopping slow regarding order-delivery time gap and were reluctant to pay for the delivery service, to mention just a few. We conclude with a summary of our results and a handful of recommendation for e-tail companies.

“…However global sourcing through import networks and diversification contributes to higher firm competitiveness through obtained knowledge and information. In addition, EU countries possess a large unused potential of B2C e-commerce, such a feature is applied for both countries with weaker economies and also in highly developed countries (Kunešová & Eger, 2017).…”

Purpose – digital platforms play a growing role in business development and create opportunities beyond earlier existed boundaries as countries, regions and industrial sectors. Industrial Internet concepts as a holistic application emerge, disruptive challenges trigger changes and evolution of existing business models. This paper unravels and analyses models and features of networks, market places, media platforms across various sectors along with arising opportunities. Research methodology – research is based on benchmarking across selected digital platforms and impact analysis according to defined criteria and selected business models. Findings – results justify scientific approach and contribute with a benchmarked view across different sectoral platforms, assess opportunities of the emerging digital era. The evolution of business patterns and the impact on changing models are key findings of the paper. Research limitations – a certain number of platform models and their features are analyzed as well as impact, represented sectors are largely grouped. Practical implications – results will have substantial practical application to business strategies adjustment, updated view on existing transformations across several business sectors and emerging business models. Originality/Value – a united view is possessed on different platforms across regions and sectors, it combines several integrated angles towards digital development and provides with clear and applicable solutions

“…The development of e-business is directly related to innovative activity in the commercial sector, financing, development of legislation protecting property rights, consumer rights, etc. (Kunešová & Eger, 2017). The term "knowledge-based economy" is used to comprehensively define the above processes.…”

Purpose – the purpose of the article is to study the effect of digitalisation development indicators on per-capita GDP growth. Research methodology – the basic research method is the fixed-effects panel regression that describes the effect of the digitalisation development indicators on per-capita GDP between 1999 and 2017. Findings – research showed the most critical factors for per-capita GDP growth are the ones that linked with fixed and mobile subscriptions. Research limitations – The limitations of the research stem from the limitations of analysis as the method that has been employed makes it possible to measure the effect of the selected variables on per-capita GDP, but further research requires a detailed analysis of the factors being studied in application to each country. Practical implications – The findings can be used as a basis for choosing areas of more detailed factor analysis of the digitalisation process effectiveness and can support investment decision-making. Originality/Value – The study enables one to identify the most and the least important factors that are reflected by digitalisation indicators that have an impact on the per-capita GDP.
