The consumer decision process is a widely accepted model covering consumer activities, and accordingly contains five interrelated stages: problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase, and post-purchase evaluation. In order to help consumers deal with challenges associated with all these stages, mobile information systems bring significant capabilities, as in other application domains. However, related prior research is mostly restricted to the individual stages of the process. Since the stages are interrelated, and the data collected in one are also valuable for another, we propose a mobile framework designed to provide assistance in all stages of the Consumer Decision Process, named MobileCDP. A prototype is also implemented and evaluated to show the applicability of the framework. Experiments show that the functions provided by the prototype are useful, well integrated, and easy to use. Moreover, statistical analysis of the results proves that the prototype reduces time, costs, and cognitive effort of the user.

MobileCDP: a mobile framework for the consumer decision process Özarslan, Süleyman; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2015) Cognitive limitations of consumers decrease decision quality, and increase time spent as well as costs related to shopping. A widely accepted model covering consumer activities is the consumer decision process, which highlights five interrelated stages: problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase, and post-purchase evaluation. Mobile information systems bring in significant capabilities for helping consumers deal with the challenges associated with all these stages. However...
A Mobile Participatory Framework for the Consumer Decision Process ÖZARSLAN, SÜLEYMAN; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2013-09-27) With the recent advances in mobile technologies, the role of mobile information systems has been increasing within the consumer behavior domain. Accordingly, we propose a holistic framework which supports consumers on all stages of the consumer decision process by using the participatory sensing approach. The consumer decision process is the major part of the consumer behavior, and represents the set of stages a consumer follows when purchasing a product. On the other hand, participatory sensing is a recent...
Mass customization through online shopping: a study on consumers’ preferences on online product customization Akıner, Dilem; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2015) This study examines the consumers’ preferences concerning the representation of online mass customizable products and their attributes. A literature review is conducted in order to specify mass customization and its levels from different perspectives and identify the factors that affect consumers’ online shopping motivations. To obtain further information about online mass customization experience from consumers’ perspective, a study is conducted with 40 participants who actively shop online in order to exa...
Retail Channel Management with Product Differentiation Uğur, Gülçin; Karaer, Özgen (null; 2016-05-06) We analyze a monopolist retailer's channel management decisions in a product differentiation context. Historically, retailers developed a physical outlet presence after developing their primary brand chain. Here, we evaluate the online channel decisions of a retailer and its interaction with the physical channels available; possibly both primary and outlet chains
Determination of factors that cause shopping hesitation Külter Demirgüneş, Banu (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2018-4) This study aims to provide general understanding of different set of factors that cause hesitation in buying electronic products. The study proposes seven cosntructs that predict shopping hesitation. The research model offers that consumer traits of innovativeness, risk averseness, brand consciousness, price/value consciousness, confused by over choice and contextual factors as time pressure and negative past experience cause shopping hesitation. The study tries to answer if these seven factors pertain...
