Price Sensitivity For Electronic Entertainment

This study presents a comprehensive behavioral model for the determinants and consequences of price sensitivity in the domain of electronic entertainment. Survey data was collected in the fields of internet entertainment, video games, and mobile entertainment. The data is analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach for the whole sample and for each domain, respectively. The estimates yield a close overall model fit. However, considerable differences between the domains exist. The model is embedded in a learning theory paradigm that explains why price sensitivity has become an increasingly popular phenomenon. The model and the methodology used in this study can help researchers and practitioners to better understand and cope with price sensitive consumers.

This book is a comprehensive review of the present state and future prospects of the displays used in entertainment television sets and in data terminals and personal computers. Such a treatment was deemed necessary because of the importance of displays in possible future communications services incorporating computer graphics and video. A few main conclusions are drawn. One is that modest-sized flat-panel displays will become commonplace where space is at a premium, such as on desktops and in kitchens or bedrooms. It is another matter to stretch these displays to several feet on a side, however. For the next five to ten years, these larger displays will mostly rely on optical projection. Thereafter, plasma techniques could well make large-area, flat-panel TV displays affordable.

"European Union: Institutions, Law, Trade, Future" aims at familiarising management students, managers and executives with the institutional structure of the European Union, its legal system, and the decision-making process after the adoption by the Member States of the Treaty of Lisbon.Its 2nd edition expands on EU Competition Policy and also covers international and transatlantic trade, enlargement and scenarios for the future of the Union. The book is likely to also prove useful to students of political sciences and economics, and to law students who have not had specialised instruction on the subject. Managers and executives, from EU Member States and from third countries, will find answers to practical questions concerning the role of the Union's principal institutions, and their impact on business issues. The recent Greek, migration and Brexit crises have revived the interest among citizens as to the purpose and governance of EU institutions, which have acquired unprecedented power that impacts our daily activities and finances. In addition to covering the main subjects of constitutional, law-giving, competition policy of the EU, its international trade, and the Commission's ambitious enlargement programme, the author discusses the need for the Union to further reform its operating frame in order to set the foundation for 'Europe of the 21st century', and outlines possible scenarios for doing so. Students and managers from countries which are candidates for, or aspire to membership, are likely to find this text helpful in understanding Europe in clear terms.
