Since Apple introduced its firstgeneration of iPhone in 2007, smartphone has penetrated about 70% of US population. Consequently, mobilecommerce has emerged from a supplementary to electronic commerce and has become a powerhouse in retailbusinesses. The American adults spend more time on their smartphones, and do even more commerce on theirsmartphone than on their personal computers. In next few years, US mobile commerce will be a half of the totalecommerce. Marketers have spent more advertising dollars on smartphones, as they can better target smartphoneusers through programmatic advertising, particularly when they find the phone users are interested in particularproducts they browse. This study compares the advertising effectiveness on smartphone users through an empiricalsurvey. The results suggest that smartphone advertising is an effective way to reach and influence the users. Mobileadvertising will continue to work hand-in-hand with traditional media advertising. A strategic shift with more focuson mobile advertising will be more effective.","PeriodicalId":113750,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organizational Studies","volume":"52 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124307952","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}

This is possible when interviewees are used as externals to verify, refute, or to improveconstructed analyses of their own stories before conclusions are drawn. As assumptions differ about what reality is andwhether or not it is measurable, researchers are beginning to focus more on approaches and techniques that canimprove validation of their findings. This paper proposes an approach to help achieve this. The paper draws on theauthor’s experience as a researcher in a study that focussed on how Developmental Agencies (DAs) – specificallyAmnesty International, Water Aid, Christian Aid, Action Aid, and Oxfam GB could improve their use of Donor Funds(DFs). Using this method, interviewees are given the opportunity to review constructed analyses in order to verify oramend how their perspectives are presented. They clarify, make corrections and provide further insights to their initialstories. The aggregated reconstructions are then relied on to arrive at agreed representations. The proposed approachdemonstrates how to engage storytellers in the validation of analyses and findings regarding contested issues. Fiveelements are discussed in relation to the subject, these are, Story-tellers, Constructed Analyses, Contested Issues,Aggregated Reconstructions and Validating Findings.","PeriodicalId":113750,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organizational Studies","volume":"2535 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128700151","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}
