The objective of this research paper is to explore the moderation effect of gender on the influence of pathos & logos in online shopping. Pathos can be explained as the emotional quotient in the purchasing behavior whereas Logos can be understood as the logic behind purchasing a particular product. Structural Equation Modeling is used for the final analysis and interpretation of the formulated hypothesis. The three approaches used are Chi-square Difference, Pairwise Parameter Comparisons & Nested Model Comparisons to know the moderating role of gender on the relationship between pathos & logos in online shopping. The findings of this research conclude that females are more governed by emotions, which is a complex buying behavior. The practical implication of this research paper is beneficial not only for the customers who frequently purchase the goods online but also for the e-commerce companies who are in the online trading business.","PeriodicalId":103226,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Management Theory and Research","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114773007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study examines whether using surprise which are highly congruent with the consumer’s leads to a stronger conditioning effect. It further scrutinizes how a reaction towards surprise varies with age. The results demonstrate that individuals exposed to the systematic pairing of a surprise with a market offering did develop a more favorable attitude and higher satisfaction towards the offering than individuals in the control condition. Moreover, the pairing of a surprise with a market offering was more effective in forming a positive attitude when the congruence was high. Further, the younger the age group more positive was the response towards the surprise. It has been argued that marketers must move beyond mere satisfaction, to customer delight. Interestingly the finding of this research proves that positive surprise in the form of toys can be a privileged way to trigger customer satisfaction and loyalty.","PeriodicalId":103226,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Management Theory and Research","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129559161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The critical issue raised during the Covid-19 pandemic suggests that SMEs have confronted great challenges, which are not just concerned about SME survival, but also the paucity of strategic approach for firm revival and resilience. In dealing with the challenges, and based on a set of investigations, firstly, we provide a critically insightful review of the UK government Covid-19 responses based on four themes of UK government interventions. Secondly, we offer contextual evidence based on our analysis of SME performance, in relation to the government responding schemes and how that affects SME operations in the UK. Thirdly, we propose a framework with tentative strategic solutions based on both our theoretical reviews and the empirical analysis for how SMEs revive and become resilient.","PeriodicalId":103226,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Management Theory and Research","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122383160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
