The research focuses on the inheritance of flower arrangement art in the digitised popularisation and develops an AR application (APP). This research aims to achieve scientific popularisation, enjoyment and immersion of flower arrangement art. Meanwhile, users can produce new vertical flower arrangements through 'interesting transformation' to form an effective approach to scientific popularisation from passive reception to initiative practice. The results have expanded the dimension of displaying traditional Chinese flower arrangement artworks, extended the vitality of the artworks and greatly enhanced users' experience of reality, art and practice through use of scientific popularisation products.","PeriodicalId":35046,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Operations and Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":"242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43613353","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}

What is missing in the literature is the effect of swift Guanxi. This study examines the UGC behaviour from swift Guanxi perspective. Drawing from stimulus-response theory, this study establishes the role of swift Guanxi in influencing UGC based on the data collected from 338 Chinese social shopping community users. The results show that interest, perceived interactivity and perceived similarity between customers and sellers has a positive impact on swift Guanxi and trust; trust is positively related with swift Guanxi; swift Guanxi has a positive influence on user generated content (UGC) and purchase intention. The mediation effects of swift Guanxi in the Model have also been examined.","PeriodicalId":35046,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Operations and Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":"207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46769444","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}

In study 1, participants completed a questionnaire including the items of self-construal and word-of-mouth willingness. The results indicate that females prefer to generate more word-of-mouth in social networks than males. In addition, the level of self-construal fully mediates the relationship between gender and word-of-mouth willingness. The results of study 2 show that the role of scarcity as a moderator can affect the relationship between gender and word-of-mouth willingness. It moderates the relationship in such a way that when the offering is in a high level of scarcity (comparing to a low level), the gender differences of word-of-mouth would increase. Results also show that self-construal is a moderated mediator that as the offering's scarcity increased, the mediating effect of self-construal between gender and word-of-mouth willingness would be decreased.","PeriodicalId":35046,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Operations and Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":"252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45567209","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 effect of capacity expansion decisions on cost response with respect to changes in capacity factors is still unclear. Capacity factors affecting asymmetric cost behaviour has been investigated by providing alternative view(s) which takes precedence of cost behaviour, resources adjustment cost and capacity problems into consideration. Cost stickiness is affected by capacity factors and this eventually leads to complex capacity problems and estimates of adjustment costs. Motivated by the limitations of existing asymmetric cost behaviour and capacity factors, this paper seeks to integrate sticky costs with operations/production literature that provides a comprehensive review of which capacity expansion factors drives asymmetric cost behaviour for internal and external users of accounting information. This paper adopts the capacity expansion decision as new approach including strengths, weaknesses and opportunities that identifies proxies in connection with asymmetric cost behaviour.","PeriodicalId":35046,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Operations and Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":"139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49441813","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}

In this paper, we develop an evolutionary game model between the government and the manufacturers. We analyse the two groups' stability conditions and their behaviours. Moreover, we study the effect of some parameters on their stability. Results show that whether manufacturers recycle e-wastes or not is closely related to recycling cost, profit of recycling, and governmental subsidies or penalties. Therefore, the government should provide subsidies to encourage manufacturers to recycle more e-wastes, and increase the punishment for those who have not recycled e-wastes. To promote local governments to perform their functions in terms of waste reduction, the penalties from superior departments should be increased, and it is feasible to introduce the third-party supervision mechanism to decrease the cost of government supervision.","PeriodicalId":35046,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Operations and Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":"176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66744004","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 expected cost function was constructed to determine the optimal threshold value and optimal service rates with the objective of minimising the expected cost per unit time. To this end, we developed an algorithm based on the quasi-Newton method to solve the problem of cost minimisation.
