TL;DR: This paper justifies a parsimonious interdisciplinary typology and relates trust constructs to e-commerce consumer actions, defining both conceptual-level and operational-level trust constructs.
Abstract: Trust is a vital relationship concept that needs clarification because researchers across disciplines have defined it in so many different ways. A typology of trust types would make it easier to compare and communicate results, and would be especially valuable if the types of trust related to one other. The typology should be interdisciplinary because many disciplines research e-commerce. This paper justifies a parsimonious interdisciplinary typology and relates trust constructs to e-commerce consumer actions, defining both conceptual-level and operational-level trust constructs. Conceptual-level constructs consist of disposition to trust (primarily from psychology), institution-based trust (from sociology), and trusting beliefs and trusting intentions (primarily from social psychology). Each construct is decomposed into measurable subconstructs, and the typology shows how trust constructs relate to already existing Internet relationship constructs. The effects of Web vendor interventions on consumer behaviors are posited to be partially mediated by consumer trusting beliefs and trusting intentions in the e-vendor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define key concepts in the public participation domain: public communication, public consultation, and public participation, differentiated according to the nature and flow of information between exercise sponsors and participants.
Abstract: Imprecise definition of key terms in the “public participation” domain have hindered the conduct of good research and militated against the development and implementation of effective participation practices. In this article, we define key concepts in the domain: public communication, public consultation, and public participation. These concepts are differentiated according to the nature and flow of information between exercise sponsors and participants. According to such an information flow perspective, an exercise’s effectiveness may be ascertained by the efficiency with which full, relevant information is elicited from all appropriate sources, transferred to (and processed by) all appropriate recipients, and combined(when required) to give an aggregate/consensual response. Key variables that may theoretically affect effectiveness—and on which engagement mechanisms differ—are identified and used to develop a typology of mechanisms. The resultant typology reveals four communication, six consultation, and...

TL;DR: This article examined what people do when they consume through a case study of baseball spectators in Chicago's Wrigley Field bleachers, and developed a typology of consuming as play, an alternative conception of materialism as a style of consuming.
Abstract: This article examines what people do when they consume In recent interpretive consumer research, three research streams have emerged, each portraying how people consume through a distinctive metaphor: consuming as experience, consuming as integration, and consuming as classification The research reported here—a two-year observational case study of baseball spectators in Chicago's Wrigley Field bleachers—builds on this literature to systematically detail the universe of actions that constitute consuming The resulting typology refines, extends, and synthesizes the three existing approaches to consuming and adds a fourth dimension—consuming as play—to yield a comprehensive vocabulary for describing how consumers consume The usefulness of the typology is demonstrated by applying it to develop an alternative conception of materialism as a style of consuming

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the relationship between indicators of corporate social and financial performance within a comprehensive theoretical framework and found no significant negative social-financial performance relationships and strong positive correlations in both contemporaneous and lead-lag formulations.
Abstract: This research note analyzes the relationship between indicators of corporate social and financial performance within a comprehensive theoretical framework. The results, based on data for 67 large U.S. corporations for 1982-1992, reveal no significant negative social-financial performance relationships and strong positive correlations in both contemporaneous and lead-lag formulations.

TL;DR: An improved typology of C&P problems is presented, which is partially based on Dyckhoff’s original ideas, but introduces new categorisation criteria, which define problem categories different from those of Dykhoff.
