Also, with the development of e-businesses, creating this loyalty as e-loyalty is highly important. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of each of the Porter's strategy dimensions, including cost leadership, differentiation and focus, on loyalty in the context of e-business. In this regard, a questionnaire was prepared; subsequent to approving the validity of the questionnaire, it was randomly distributed among a random sample of 100 people who were potential and actual users of particular sites in the City of Isfahan. The findings indicate that, although focus strategy is more effective on creating e-loyalty, no significant difference was observed between the two other strategies in having more influence on e-loyalty.","PeriodicalId":253363,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on e-Commerce in Developing Countries: with focus on e-Tourism (ECDC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131714063","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}

Such stores provide numerous advantages for merchants and offer better service compared to their physical counterparts. However, quality of service is not the only reason some individuals tend to choose one over the other; this decision may be influenced by a number of other factors. This paper examines the impact of personality, more specifically introversion/extraversion, on online shopping tendencies. The population of the study includes graduate students at the University of Isfahan. A random sample of 92 individuals was drawn. The results indicate that perceived value of online stores has an eighty percent impact on the intention of introverted and extroverted individuals to engage in online shopping.

Crowd sourcing is one of these platforms that has remarkably been considered in recent years. During the ten recent years since the appearance of crowd sourcing, this technology has been used to perform various activities. On the other side, along with the growth of crowd sourcing, the issue of information security is proposed as one of the existing challenges. Crowd sourcing can be formed to perform basic and purposeful activities to the same degree that is formed by violating moral principles in social environments and with the aim of doing destructive activities. This platform has several security problems due to lack of suitable information about users' background at the time of membership and how they perform. If crowd sourcing systems are faced with security problems and data privacy, there will be a negative effect on accepting and using this technology. The purpose of this study is to explore security problems of crowd sourcing. First, crowd sourcing and its application as well as its security problems are reviewed and then security suggestions and a model to improve crowdsourcing are presented.","PeriodicalId":253363,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on e-Commerce in Developing Countries: with focus on e-Tourism (ECDC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128409857","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}
