Conclusion
From the Paper
"The laws of supply and demand are the most important determinant of market structures (Economics basics: demand and supply). The law of demand states that, if all other factors remain equal, the higher the price of a good, the less people will demand that good and vice versa. The law of supply states that when the price of a good rises, holding other factors constant, producers will be willing to supply more of the product. Price, therefore, is determined by supply and demand. Economic equilibrium refers to a point where a market for a product has attained the price where the amount supplied of a certain product equals the quantity demanded."

From the Paper
"Internet shoppers cited the wider variety of choices available, especially in terms of the above-mentioned favorite purchases. For the high street shopper, the "what you see is what you get factor" proved to be the most positive aspect of the shopping experience. The subjects were fairly evenly divided as far as the other criteria were concerned. However, subjects did feel that one could get a better price online, as opposed to in the high street. There was, nevertheless, a striking difference in spending amounts between the two styles of shopping. Very clearly, the subjects spent considerably more money in the high street than on the Internet."

Abstract
This paper examines how on-line shopping was one of the new activities that was created through the use of the Internet and how its emergence cannot be considered a linear process. It looks at how, based on social constructivism, its development is attributed to different social interests from many social groups and how these social interests result in the pros and cons of the use of Internet for on-line shopping. It attempts to utilize different theories to analyze the use of Internet for online shopping.
From the Paper
"The use of Internet for online shopping also impacts human society in other ways. It constructs a new social relation. Conventional shopping way requires the meet up between consumers and retailers, but the Internet closes the gap between consumers and producers. Consumers can more directly reflect their need to producers through the virtual world, but interestingly, they do not have to meet up. The position of retailer seems disappearing. Some people consider it as alienation between people due to the adoption of this technology , but some think it as more frequent interactions between consumers and producers."

Abstract
This paper examines the demographics of postponing holiday shopping. This is accomplished in part due to a literature analysis and in part due to a fictitious survey that was conducted during the holiday shopping season of 2000 - 2001 at three urban malls. This paper determines that male shoppers are far more likely than female shoppers to postpone their holiday shopping until immediately before the holidays. In order to take advantage of this, merchants should concentrate on promotional packages that will attract male shoppers, such as gift boxes that are easily displayed and accessible to the shoppers.

Basic Business Smarts that Make Gifford's Sweat Shop Wrong
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For a long time the clothing line at Walmart that was owned by Kathy Lee Gifford was well received. It offered style, class and comfort all for an affordable price. Gifford was on her talk show and plugging her clothing line while at the same time professing her belief in human rights and the importance of the proper treatment of people. The nation was outraged when it was discovered that the clothes for Gifford?s clothing line was being manufactured through the use of underpaid employees in what is commonly referred to as a sweat shop. Gifford has insisted from the beginning of the discovery that she had no idea there were such conditions being used for the development and manufacturing of her clothing line."

Abstract
This paper examines how much research has been done into the effect of retail store ambiance on customer shopping and consuming habits and how scientists have variably looked at the effect that music, scent, and colors have on the retail habits of their consumers. In particular, it looks at how greater detail has been devoted to the consideration of particular types of music, whether it?s background or foreground music, and its influences, and how effects are studied in terms of customer mood, shopping duration, and dollars spent in the establishment. It proposes a study to examine the moderating variable of shopper age by measuring whether background music affects younger shoppers (18 to 29 years old) differently than it affects older shoppers (30 years old and over).

From the Paper
"The sampling design chosen for this study is a nonprobability design. Although this means that there isn?t an equal chance for the subject selection in the population, the nonprobability design offers advantages in terms of time and cost that make it appropriate for this study. Since we are interested in doing a small, initial examination of background music on shopping behavior, a small, affordable study is appropriate for this research. The nonprobability design means that the proposed study can be carried out in a cost-effective manner by selecting based on convenience rather than random sampling."
