Summary: With the rapid growth of the internet and e-commerce, many e-commerce retail malls have emerged. These retailers differentiate themselves through online information quality and website design in addition to promotional schemes and prices. This study investigates the impacts of e-commerce information quality and website design on customer satisfaction in South Korea, and how customer satisfaction subsequently affects shopping loyalty. Data from 600 users of e-commerce shopping malls in Korea were collected through an online survey. Structural equation modeling results showed that information trust, information accuracy, and website design positively influenced customer satisfaction, which in turn led to user shopping loyalty. This paper has important implications for e-commerce retail malls, suggesting the need to provide trustworthy information, accurate information, and a comfortable website design to attract and retain customers.

Summary: Social media message strategy plays a critical role in customer engagement with B2B firms on social media platforms. This study examined the impact of message source (firm-generated vs. employee-generated) and message content (emojis and objective information) on social media engagement. Four experiments were conducted to test the proposed relationships. The findings revealed that employee-generated content leads to higher social media engagement than firm-generated content. Content-based trust and engagement-based trust were identified as underlying mechanisms for the impact of message source on social media engagement. Additionally, including emojis in employee-generated messages had a greater impact on customer engagement compared to firm-generated messages, while the effectiveness of incorporating objective information was not supported. These findings have significant implications for B2B marketers in developing effective social media message strategies.

Summary: We have constructed a composite index to measure the real activity of the Swiss economy on a weekly basis, using a novel high-frequency data set. Our six-step procedure for extracting precise business cycle signals from the raw data highlights the importance of our proposed adjustment procedure, as our weekly index outperforms comparable indices and established monthly indicators in forecasting GDP growth. These findings can contribute to the improvement of other high-frequency indicators.

Summary: Geographical indications convey information about the place of production as a proxy for the attributes of agricultural products. The informational content of wine-related GIs for the Cote d'Or region of Burgundy, France, has been estimated econometrically, showing high precision in signaling vineyard attributes but some bias from lobbying effects. Alternative classifications from history and simulations reveal a significant increase in the informational content of GIs over the last hundred years, providing guidelines for better designated GIs in the future.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of Rapid Prototyping (RP) in the product development phase on the sustainability of a conventional supply chain. RP utilization was found to reduce assembly parts and material consumption, indirectly affecting waste generation, logistics, CO2 emissions, processes, and total costs. Increase in operational skills and knowledge in the social dimension was shown to reduce failure rates and improve product quality, highlighting the importance of training programs in enhancing social sustainability. The proposed generic model can help decision-makers accelerate RP adoption in supply chains and provide insights for operational decisions in product design stage.
