Research Jungle on Online Consumer Behaviour in the Context of Web 2.0: Traceability, Frontiers and Perspectives in the Post-Pandemic Era

Abstract

In recent years, the study of online consumption behavior has gradually formed its research system and analysis model based on the inheritance of traditional research paradigms, focusing on the inner mechanism of consumption models explained by consumption activities. Online consumption is based on the research scenario of social e-commerce and forms a broad research network through the extension of consumer objects, consumer psychology, and consumer concepts. Although the theoretical constructs of online consumer behavior continue to improve, the relevant studies still do not fully grasp the research frontiers due to the lagging research nature. In the context of Web 2.0, it is impossible to run through the latest developments in online consumption research. Moreover, the study of online consumer behavior has shown a trend of diversification and multiple schools of thought, and a research jungle has emerged, which in essence is the perfection and new height of the study of consumerism. This paper analyses the origins, frontiers, and prospects of online consumer behavior research to clarify the formation principles, development paths, and future directions of the online consumer behavior research jungle. Ultimately based on the economic changes in the post-pandemic context, this paper integrates and proposes an evolving mechanism for studying online consumption behavior, intending to achieve a peek into and reveal the jungle of online consumption research.

Digital technology adoption, digital dynamic capability, and digital transformation performance of textile industry: Moderating role of digital innovation orientation

“…This section mainly refers to the scales of Zhang et al (2021), and Usai et al (2021), where Meral's scale is based on a component assessment of digital technology tools, resulting in seven central IoT, cyber‐physical systems, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, and reality augmentation technology subscales. This study builds on this by further integrating seven scales, grouping them into two categories, technology access and technology adoption, and incorporating Blichfeldt's scale reflections on the two dimensions.…”

“…(3) whether digital innovation orientations will have an effect on the process of digital transformation, and what are the differences between them. Zhang et al (2021) uses the concept of DTA in the literature examining the relationship between digital technology and product service innovation performance in process industries and suggests that DTA is an important direction to guide manufacturing industries to adapt to competitive pressures and to realize the potential for competitive advantage based on digital technology. The connotation of DTA is heterogeneously resolved depending on the research perspective, and its mainstream research can be divided into three categories: (1) The first is based on the legal perspective of process innovation, defining DTA as the use of digital technology as a means of product and service innovation in manufacturing (Mackert et al, 2016).…”

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Online Consumer Purchasing Behavior

“…-Marketing factors (e.g., product design, price, promotion, packaging, positioning, and distribution) [38]; -Personality characteristics (such as age, gender, education, and income) [39]; -Psychological drivers (purchase motives, product perception, and attitude to the product) [40]; -Situational framework (the physical environment at the time of purchase, the environment, and the time factor) [41]; -Social determinants (social status, reference groups, and family) [42]; -Cultural factors (religion, social class) [43]; -Intergenerational behavior [44].…”

Research Hotspots and Frontiers of Product R&D Management under the Background of the Digital Intelligence Era—Bibliometrics Based on Citespace and Histcite

“…Lu [61] emphasized that R&D management performance should pay special attention to the cost of technical input to avoid the occurrence of undesirable problems, such as an insufficient product R&D driving force and an excessive enterprise R&D burden. Alongside controlling the scale of R&D costs, companies also need to form a strong R&D team [62]. On the one hand, the R&D team cannot break through the cost constraints, resulting in a decrease in the enterprise's R&D efficiency.…”
