...This paper presents the concept and prototype of a gamified smartphone application for enhancing the checkout process at supermarket cash desks. The application realizes a self-service system applied within a laboratory experiment conducted with 65 participants. A comparison to the traditional process shows a significant increase in customer motivation and user experience. As its primary aspect, the study investigates the impact of personality traits on the users’ evaluation of the gamified service. The surveyed personality traits include computer-related causal attributions, trust, and technology readiness. Attributions can be understood as individuals’ causal explanations for events influencing their emotions, motivation, and behavior. Results...

...Amazon E-Commerce Amazon.com has always sold goods out of its own warehouses. It started as a bookseller, pure and simple, and over the last decade has branched out into additional product areas and the third-party sales that now represent a good chunk of its revenue (some estimates put it at 25 percent). Both retailers and individual sellers utilize the Amazon.com platform to sell goods. Large retailers like Nordstrom, Land's End and Target use Amazon.com to sell their products in addition to selling them through their own Web sites. The sales go through Amazon.com and end up at Nordstrom.com, Land's End.com or Target.com for processing and order fulfilment. Amazon essentially leases space to these retailers, who use Amazon.com as a supplemental outlet for their online sales. Small sellers of used and new goods go to Amazon Marketplace, Amazon zShops or Amazon Auctions. At Marketplace, sellers offer goods at a fixed price, and at Auctions they sell their stuff to the highest bidder. Amazon zShops features only used goods at fixed prices. If an item listed on zShops, Marketplace or Auctions is also sold on the main Amazon.com, it appears in a box beside the Amazon.com item so buyers can see if someone else is selling the product for less in one of the other sales channels. Another sales channel called Amazon Advantage is a place where people can sell new books, music and movies directly from the Amazon warehouse instead of from their home or store. Sellers ship a number of...

...Development/WEB 407 Introduction Kudler Fine Foods is a specialty food store offering imported and domestic fare including baked goods, meats & seafood, produce, cheese & dairy, and wine. With three locations in the San Diego metropolitan area (La Jolla, Del Mar and Encinitas), Kudler’s mission is to provide their customers with, “…the finest in selected foodstuffs, wines, and related needs in an unparalleled consumer environment” (Apollo Group Inc. 2009). In an effort to increase customer convenience and business revenue, Kudler Fine Foods wants to sell their products on the internet. By adding both item inventory and online ordering pages to their current site, Kudler Fine Foods can accomplish this goal. There are, however, additional systems necessary on the back-end to make this system possible. According to TheConsumerCollective website (2010), “E-commerce spending continues to outpace analyst’s predictions… spending will reach $259 billion in 2014, and $278.8 billion by 2015” (Suetos, 2010). Over the past few years, customer confidence with online shopping has increased significantly. Customers feel more at ease with purchasing their products from online retailers than they did just years ago. This proposal will demonstrate the major components necessary for Kudler Fine Foods to begin offering their products online. It will discuss the database design, how the scripting language PHP will be set up to provide a “shopping cart” for ease of use, and illustrate...

...partnered with a loyalty points program to offer incentives for customer loyalty in the form of high-end rewards for shopping at Kudler Fine Foods. Customers will earn points with every purchase, redeemable for high-value gift items such as first-class airline upgrades, and other specialty items (Apollo Group, Inc., 2007). Facilitating this effort will require systems planning and selection as well as current and proposed systems analysis and design, in conjunction with systems implementation and integration, training, operations, and maintenance.
