Relying on the mobile phone industry, a consumer cognitive niche system has been constructed and the importance of various factors affecting the industry niche has been identified. Specifically, the mobile phone brand niche system is composed of 12 factors at the product level, brand level, and industry level. Among them, the key factors mainly include \"quality perception, performance perception, functional innovation, brand reputation, and technological change.\" The high factor weight is a key factor that affects consumer brand perception and a key indicator that determines the transition of the ecological niche. Taking the Apple mobile phone as a specific case, the niche at each time point was measured and the niche transition was proved to be a historical process, and the comprehensive evaluation scores of the niche of 6 mobile phones were calculated and ranked. The results of the study show that the overall trend is rising first and then stabilizing.","PeriodicalId":448069,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Smart Business and Technology","volume":"13 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133077141","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}

Consider that a manufacturer sells products offline through an independent retailer, while the manufacturer expands offline products to direct online channels, and establishes trust transmission between offline and online channels to achieve channel synergy. In channel pricing, the full price theory of the channel is used to establish a model to study the issue of trust transmission between channels. Based on the different perceived risks of online and offline consumers, the issue of trust transmission and pricing between channels is studied. Taking the online consumer trust of channel expansion as the object, constructing the consumer utility function under the influence of perceived risk and the degree of online trust, and establishing the Stackelberg game model. The relationship between channel pricing and online trust level and the main determinants of trust transmission between channels are discussed. The research results show that the increase in online trust leads to a decrease in offline pricing, a decrease in offline demand, and an increase in online demand, and the profits of manufacturers increase while the profits of retailers decrease. Also, manufacturers' efforts to transmit trust in online channels decrease with the increase in offline product performance fluctuations, decrease with the increase in trust transmission cost coefficient, and increase with the increase in offline and online cost gaps.","PeriodicalId":448069,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Smart Business and Technology","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121772336","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}

Over the years, many models and IT management frameworks have been proposed to address this issue. The purpose of this study was to develop comprehensive understanding of business IT alignment phenomena based on live experiences of IT leaders working in FMCG companies based in the UK. To achieve the goal of the study, a descriptive phenomenological method was employed. Live experiences of eleven participants from FMCG companies were used as the primary source of data. Phenomenological analysis of the data obtained from interviews revealed twenty-two sub-themes grouped into four main themes. Four main themes identified during the study are: leading topics, IT trends, IT management frameworks influencing business IT alignment and future improvement. The leading topics theme gathers current most important areas being discussed between senior IT and business leaders. The IT trend’s theme points to all technological trends that draw the attention of companies. In particular, three categories were discovered: technologies to automate and optimize, digital technologies, and disruptive technologies. The IT management framework theme tackles all frameworks contributing to business IT alignment. The logical chain of sequence could be observed due to speed of changes and customers moving to online channels (leading topics), and because digital technologies are spreading (IT trends) supported by organizational changes (IT management frameworks). The last theme aggregates recommendations for improvement in business IT alignment based on participants’ suggestions.","PeriodicalId":448069,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Smart Business and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129143864","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}
