We have explored four market factors where cultural changes, land problem, urbanization and population pressures and finally raising prices level of building materials that have acted as antecedents of customers’ buying attitude and created opportunities for the industry. After that, CFA has been carried out to confirm the factors. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been used to test both the proposed model and hypothesized relationships among the constructs. It has found that land problem, urbanization and population pressures have created opportunities for Real Estate industry and that have significant impact on customers’ buying attitude except the cultural changes and raising price level. It has also found that buying intention is strongly influenced by buying attitude of the customers. The proposed model also has an acceptable fit to the data.

Using a data set of almost 8 million user ratings for 300 movies, we use a 2SLS framework to find that time, movie characteristics, and measures of commercial success are statistically significant explanatory variables of viewer ratings. Popular opinion carries a sizeable amount of sway as well, and the results indicate that movies on Netflix do in fact age like a fine bottle of wine.","PeriodicalId":326023,"journal":{"name":"MKTG: Sociological Analyses of Consumer Behavior (interpretive or quantitative) (Topic)","volume":"437 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132620513","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}

We can add to this, by saying that the basic thesis of the paper is that the marketing concept can be applied in an environment as complicated as education, and thus harvest the fruits of this post modern way of dealing with it. In order to understand what led us to the post modernistic way of shaping up the given status of education, we will go a bit further and analyze the relationship between globalization and postmodernism, education and globalization, the state model and the social movements, and capitalism. From a postmodern perspective, postmodernism is defined as the cultural logic of the late capitalism. What we now call late capitalism is actually the product of the free market, of the capital going from hand to hand all around the world, desperately asking for entrepreneurs educated according to the demands of the market, for more democratic states, for open, well educated minds, for more freedom, more respect on human individual rights, more private, individual initiatives. \"The phenomenon of globalization is based on the transformation of capitalism…\", what we already have mentioned as late capitalism (Morrow & Torres, :98).","PeriodicalId":326023,"journal":{"name":"MKTG: Sociological Analyses of Consumer Behavior (interpretive or quantitative) (Topic)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131693621","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}
