  • Trial-Attitude Formation for a Green Product
    The Sustainable Global Marketplace, 2014
    Co-Authors: Christy Ashley, Jason D Oliver, James E. Zemanek
    Abstract:

    The current studies evaluate the trial-attitude formation process for an Environmentally Friendly Product. Environmentally Friendly Products, also known as green Products, are defined as Products that minimize the environmental impact of their consumption (Janssen and Jager 2002). In spite of increased attention on environmental issues, consumers have not widely adopted green Products. One explanation is that aside from a small group of “green” consumers, many consumers avoid green Products because they believe they offer inferior quality at a higher price (Peattie 2001). Increased quality and availability of green Products has not helped change these attitudes (Melillo and Miller 2006).

  • hybrid car purchase intentions a cross cultural analysis
    Journal of Consumer Marketing, 2010
    Co-Authors: Jason D Oliver
    Abstract:

    Purpose – This paper aims to compare US and Korean consumers' intentions to purchase a high involvement, Environmentally Friendly Product: the hybrid car.Design/methodology/approach – The paper examines how social factors and culture shape intentions to purchase a hybrid car using survey data from 1,083 US drivers and 783 Korean drivers.Findings – The paper shows that self‐image congruence and propensity to seek information about green Products have strong positive relationships with intentions to purchase a hybrid car among consumers from both countries. Perceived social value associated with the consumption of hybrid cars also has a strong positive relationship with intentions to purchase a hybrid car among Korean and, contrary to expectations, US consumers. In contrast, social value associated with green Products, in general, has a negative relationship with US consumer hybrid purchase intentions.Research limitations/implications – The use of a web‐based survey of drivers regarding hybrid cars may limi...

  • decomposition of toxic chemical substance management in three u s manufacturing sectors from 1991 to 2008
    MPRA Paper, 2012
    Co-Authors: Hidemichi Fujii, Shunsuke Managi
    Abstract:

    This study analyzes toxic chemical substance management in three U.S. manufacturing sectors from 1991 to 2008. Decomposition analysis applying the logarithmic mean Divisia index is used to analyze changes in toxic chemical substance emissions by the following five factors: cleaner Production, end-of-pipe treatment, transfer for further management, mixing of intermediate materials, and Production scale. Based on our results, the chemical manufacturing sector reduced toxic chemical substance emissions mainly via end-of-pipe treatment. In the meantime, transfer for further management contributed to the reduction of toxic chemical substance emissions in the fabricated metal industry. This occurred because the environmental business market expanded in the 1990s, and the infrastructure for the recycling of metal and other wastes became more efficient. Cleaner Production is the main contributor to toxic chemical reduction in the electrical Product industry. This implies that the electrical Product industry is successful in developing a more Environmentally Friendly Product design and Production process.

  • Measuring psychographics to assess purchase intention and willingness to pay
    Journal of Consumer Marketing, 2012
    Co-Authors: Nelson Barber, Pei‐jou Kuo, Melissa Bishop, Raymond Goodman
    Abstract:

    Purpose: Marketing managers routinely use purchase intentions data to make strategic decisions concerning both new and existing Products and the marketing programs that support them. Yet, the indication from empirical investigations regarding the link between respondents' stated intentions and their actual behavior is not as clear. Predicting which consumer will purchase an Environmentally Friendly Product, the research remains split, particularly when it comes to perceived "trade-offs" between the environmental benefits, quality, and cost. In this regard, previous research has fallen short in examining consumers' actual purchase behavior versus self-reported purchase intentions. This paper seeks to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach: This study measured consumer psychographics and expressed purchase intention to predict actual purchase behavior using an online survey and the Vickrey auction method. Findings: The results show that respondents expressing a high intention to purchase Environmentally Friendly wines also reported strong attitudes and values toward the environment. However, the gap between stated willingness to pay and the actual price paid was wide. Research limitations/implications: The study was restricted to the investigation of one type of Product. The model should be tested with a number of Products that are purchased on a regular basis. Practical implications: Given the wide disparity between stated willingness to pay and actual price paid for those expressing high purchase intentions, marketing should use caution when assessing this targeted group for new Product launches and potential price changes. Originality/value: This study assessed the same cohort using a survey and auction experiment to relate consumer values and purchase intentions with actual behavior. Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

  • ACLODS – A Holistic Framework for Environmentally Friendly Product Lifecycle Design
    Global Product Development, 2011
    Co-Authors: Srinivas Kota, Amaresh Chakrabarti
    Abstract:

    Design for Environment (DfE) is an approach to design where all the environmental impacts of a Product are considered over the entire life cycle of a Product. Most DfE tools are conceptual in nature, and there is little adoption of these in industry. This chapter discusses the development of a holistic framework that should help in both generation and evaluation of Environmentally Friendly Product life cycle proposals. The overall approach is to investigate literature to analyse the existing guidelines, methods, tools and methodologies for Environmentally Friendly Product design, in order to identify the requirements for a holistic framework for design to reduce the environmental impact of a Product lifecycle proposal. An ideal framework to satisfy these requirements is proposed.
