Purpose Time pressure may change how people behave. The multiplicity of options and the nature of the products, hedonic or utilitarian, might increase the complexity of the choice and alter the effects of time pressure. Combining both factors, the purpose of this paper is to verify the moderating role played by the nature of the products observing the relationship between interaction (time pressure × multiplicity of options) and choice delay. Design/methodology/approach A two-level factorial experimental design was applied (time pressure: with; without) × 2 (number of alternatives: two; six) × 2 (type of purchase: hedonic; utilitarian), with mixed design, considering the purchase delay a dependent variable. Findings The results signal that the nature of the products moderates the effects of the interaction between time pressure and choice overload in purchase delay. Utilitarian purchases are more susceptible to the effects of time pressure and options overload than hedonic purchases. Originality/value The interaction between time pressure and choice overload, researched in previous works, influences in different ways the purchase of utilitarian or hedonic products. This differentiation, taking into consideration the type of product, brings new perspectives on the purchase decision process and provides theoretical and practical information on the effects of information overload and time pressure over the consumer decision-making process.

The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent earning per share, net income, dividends and sharia compliance affects the stock market volatility in Malaysia. A sample of 53 firms has been selected from FBM KLCI for the period of 2014 when the oil price decline over 55% and leads to lower share prices. Multiple regression methods have been applied to the data. The result found that earning per share and dividend have a strong signiicant relationship, while net income and Shari'ahcompliance are not signiicance towards stock price volatility. It is hoped that the outcomes of this study will serve as the reference for the investor and manager to create better and effective strategy, as well as, to improve the inancial market industry

Este artigo analisa a percepção dos enólogos acerca das fontes de risco no negócio do vinho e as medidas de gestão eleitas no intuito de controlá-las. O estudo caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa exploratória, que, apesar de se utilizar de algumas ferramentas estatísticas de análise, adota uma amostragem não probabilística e intencional. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi aplicado a dezesseis enólogos de vinícolas distintas, localizadas majoritariamente na Serra Gaúcha, no Rio Grande do Sul (RS). As principais considerações dizem respeito à grande relevância que os entrevistados atribuem ao risco mercadológico, elegendo-o como a principal fonte de risco para o negócio do vinho. O estudo também aponta para a vantagem de se empregar a técnica de escalonamentos multidimensionais para compreender as relações existentes entre as diversas fontes de risco, a partir da percepção dos enólogos. Palavras-chave: Vitivinicultura. Risco. Escalonamentos multidimensionais.
