主 题：Merging Advantages of Online Shopping with Offline Retail: Can In-store Mobile Technologies Increase Offline Consumer Expenditures?
讲座摘要：
With the remarkable reshaping of consumer shopping behavior by online channel, offline retailers have thus begun to employ in-store mobile technologies that merge online features to stay competitive. However, merging the features of online and offline channels (known as online-merge-offline, or OMO) may have unpredictable effects on consumer expenditures due to the potential information attention reallocation effect and shopping journey expediting effect. In this study, we propose a two-stage analysis framework to empirically investigate the effect of implementing OMO technologies on consumer spending with a unique quasi-experimental dataset. We reveal that OMO technologies do not cause increases in consumer spending but instead reshape consumer shopping behavior. Further granular analyses suggest that OMO technology results in consumer purchasing items from 2.5% more product categories and placing 8.8% more orders with expensive items. However, using OMO technologies also decreases impulsive purchases by 8.6% and reduces shopping time by 18%. As one of the first thorough empirical studies focusing on novel OMO technologies, our findings provide insightful theoretical and practical implications for researchers and practitioners.
