Investigating the Determinants and Barriers of Purchase Intention of Innovative New Products
Sustainability, 2021
The purpose of this study was to examine the purchase intention of innovative new product (e.g., Galaxy Fold) by integrating behavioral reasoning theory (BRT) to the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to test the relative influence of reasons for and reasons against adoption on purchase attitude and purchase intention of Korean consumers. A quantitative research method via an online survey was conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. The sample of the study was 242 Korean consumers who participated in the online survey. Structural equation modeling was conducted by using AMOS 21.0 to test the proposed relationships. The findings showed that value for changes positively related to the reasons for adoption and negatively related to reasons against adoption. Reasons for adoption (e.g., relative advantage, compatibility, simplicity) have a significant positive effect on the purchase attitude, and reasons against adoption (e.g., price barrier, performa...

Consumer behaviour in innovative products purchasing process
Marketing and Management of Innovations
Nowadays, innovation has become one of the most important preconditions for a successful business and, consequently, also for successful development of national economy and economics. The aim of the article is to assess the factors influencing the behaviour of Latvian consumers, purchasing innovative packaged food and non-alcoholic beverages, based on theoretical aspects of consumer behaviour in innovative products purchasing process. As the result of the research, proposals were made for Latvian companies for improving innovative products marketing activities, commercialization and promotion of innovative products. A structured data collection was carried out using questionnaires, which resulted in a survey of 458 respondents from all over Latvia. The surveyed respondents by gender were 59.65% females and 40.35% males. The respondents were divided into 6 age groups, starting from 18 years old. The authors chose not to interrogate young people under the age of 18, assuming that they had no personal and independent income to purchase packaged food and non-alcoholic beverages. According to the findings, the authors allocated the main characteristics of respondents by their adaptation to innovative products: "innovators", "followers" and "slowly adapting". Under this research, the authors used the correlation analysis to estimate the relations between the level of income, age and gender of respondents and the type of consumer in relation to innovations was revealed. The higher income level is, the higher is the proportion of people who perceive themselves as innovators or quickly adapting in the field of packaged food and non-alcoholic beverages, and the lower income level is, the greater is the proportion of slowly adapting people. In general, the specificity of packaged food and nonalcoholic beverages is explained with the fact that consumers adapt to innovative products of this category much faster because it does not require large investments.

According to the literature, the two key factors that govern consumers' adoption of innovative products are perceived product attributes and consumer traits. An IT product, iPad, is considered in a case study of how consumer innovativeness and new product attributes affect consumers' intentions to adopt. The investigation also discusses the effect of consumer innovativeness on the relationship between new product attributes and adoption intentions. Consumer innovativeness and perceived new product attributes are found to influence the adoption of new products, and consumer innovativeness is found moderately to affect the relationships between perceived new production attributes and consumers' adoption intentions.
Consumer Innovativeness and Really New Product Adoption--Model
PsycTESTS Dataset
Purpose-The purpose of this study is to explore consumer innovativeness as a personality trait and addresses the hedonic, social, cognitive and functional motivational elements that lie behind consumer innovativeness. It explores the weak relationship between consumer innovativeness and really new product (novel innovation) adoption and challenges the classic relationship between consumer learning, attitude and intention. Design/methodology/approach-This study adopts a quantitative approach, gathering survey data via an institutional online platform. A total of 300 participants were recruited. Participants were directed to a website presenting the information of the product with the inclusion of 2D and 3D images and an avatar. For data analysis, CFA and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used. Findings-Results indicate a positive impact of attitude on comprehension and intention. In addition, hedonic innovativeness positively impacts customer's attitude, whereas there is a negative relationship between social innovativeness and attitude. Motivational elements of innovation, with the exception of hedonic motivation, positively influence purchase intention. Research limitations/implications-The main limitation of the study lies in the measurement of purchase intention, as actual purchases cannot be assessed as the products are not yet available. The findings encourage marketers to target innovators first, ideally innovators motivated by hedonic needs. Practical implications-The findings encourage marketers to target innovators first, perhaps for a longterm, innovators motivated by hedonic needs, as they are the ones who change their attitude positively towards novel innovation when presented in an aesthetically pleasant manner. Originality/value-This study challenges the classic theories identifying the link between comprehension, attitude and purchase intention within the field of innovation. The findings indicate that while interacting with really new products, comprehension does not necessarily lead to attitude and intention but attitude does positively influence both intention and comprehension.

Consumer behaviour towards new products
The main purpose of this paper is to find a structure of consumer behaviour, especially regarding the preference for the newly-released products from the market. We intend to study the impact of the new, innovative products compared to the traditional ones. Empirical research is based on the selling mix of a company in Romania and Austria. The analysis of this case will be done with the support of an econometric model of simple regression. This research confirms the validation of the structure and the attitude of the consumers towards the new products, launched by that company. By applying this linear model, it is possible to identify the percentage of the increase or decrease in consumption of new products. The need of carrying out this study regarding the impact of the consumption of new products is to create a profile and to find the causes that influence their acquisition. The originality of this paper lays in studying some aspects of influence over the consumption of new products from McDonald's in Romania and Austria. Where does McDonald's stand regarding the digitalization? It is not enough to sell new products; it is also necessary to bring innovation in the organization. Nowadays consumers are more present in the online environment and retailers are adapting at a fast pace to their needs of direct communication and transparency. How does a company that faces Slow Food and Bio era, deal with consumers who are more preoccupied with the nutritive values of the nourishment act? Platforms for real-time communication with clients such as "Our food. Your question" redefined the term of transparency and helped McDonald's stop bad rumors. The results of the research will show us if there really is transformation in behaviour towards traditional products and in what degree consumers are influenced by innovation.
Consumer innovativeness influence on really new product adoption
The results of academic research into consumer innovativeness and its influence on product adoption lack consensus. To help close this gap, the study examines the relationship between consumer innate innovativeness, domain specific innovativeness, vicarious innovativeness, and the adoption of really new consumer electronic products. This study employs a quantitative survey-based approach to test several hypotheses related to consumer innovativeness and really new product adoption. In total, 256 Aus-tralians above the age of 18 completed an online survey and subsequently form the basis of the analysis. Employing structural equation modeling we find that domain specific innovativeness rather than consumer innate innovativeness is the primary influencer of the adoption of such products. We find however that the relationship between domain specific innovativeness and really new product adoption, although positive, is still quite weak. The result highlight the need for further research to more fully understand what drives or explains the adoption of ''really new'' products both in Australia and internationally and to further clarify relationships between innovativeness measures.
A Study of Consumer Innovativeness and Motivations behind Adoption of Innovation
International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences, 2014
The purpose of this article is to study consumer innovativeness and to explore various consumer motivations behind adoption of innovation. Consumers may have different motivations behind adoption of an innovation. Most of the researchers researched different categories of consumer needs which are categorized into three or four main groups: (1) functional needs, the motivations to get functional benefits from the new product and to create more utility, (2) hedonic needs, the motivations to have fun, pleasure, variation etc. (3) social needs, the need for status, prestige and symbolism, uniqueness etc. and (4) cognitive needs, the need for curiosity and a desire for knowledge. This study explores in detail the various motivational drivers for participating in adoption of innovation process. The aim of this paper therefore is to explore user characteristics and motivations that contribute to adoption of innovation process. In-depth interviews were conducted from 20 consumers, selected through convenience sampling, who recently adopted at least one innovation. The main findings of our study indicate that four types of motivations underlie consumer innovativeness and adoption of innovation. These motivations are functional, hedonic, cognitive and social. Functional motivated innovativeness is at the top for adoption of innovations. Second most important reason behind adoption of innovation is hedonic.
