“…In this study, the technical specification of the water tap that corresponds with the user's preferences encourages water conservation, and adapts to the Frontiers in Environmental Science frontiersin.org unique cultural context of ablution activities that have been performed after the significant hypotheses and the outer weight are identified from the structural modelling result. Based on this generated information, the technical specification can be focused (Ghazali et al, 2023). However, another specification also needs to be considered after the primary priority preferences.…”

Water is a vital resource that should be utilized effectively. However, it is overused and squandered on a daily need, including the unrestrained use of water for ablution purposes. This condition can be due to a lack of awareness and the influences of peer cultural values. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a water-tap design that takes into consideration the influences of cultural value. Accordingly, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) approach the significant correlation between cultural influences and user preferences on water-tap design by referring at the critical threshold output of each attribute. The result showed that collectivism and uncertainty avoidance dimensions were identified as the influencing cultural dimensions and the automatic water level-control float valve, mechanical water-taps with auto-stop function, and transparent water tanks are the most important considerations for water tap technical specification. Through the assessment of its applicability, the use of the prototype can reduce water usage by 54.6% compared to regular water-taps. Correspondingly, the approach of cultural value in the designing process is expected to give more insights to practices such as product designers when determining design specification while for knowledge, it extends the applicability of Hofstede cultural theory for product design and development.

“…The global consumer audience highly appreciates the cultural meaning of a product, and incorporating the local culture into the product design can increase its value (Gumulya, 2022). Cultural values and green attributes influence customer preferences in green product design, highlighting the importance of considering cultural values in the design process (Ghazali et al, 2023). In designing artistic and creative products, it is crucial to consider both culture and users' individualized and diversified needs, aiming to provide new ideas and designs that reflect cultural connotations (Zhou et al, 2022).…”

This study explores how to transform artists' works into art derivatives. The role of culture in product design is crucial, adding value to the product and helping to bring the region's unique culture to the international market. As the carrier of culture and art, art derivative is closer to people's lives than traditional artworks. The relationship between artistic derivatives and cultural creative products is crucial to contemporary art ecology. Through an in-depth discussion of the relationship between artworks and their results, this study proposes the transformation process of art derivatives. At the cultural level, material form is the most direct and concrete part of art. At the design level, form, function, and meaning are indispensable elements to ensure that derivatives are beautiful and functional. At the experiential level, sensory, action, and emotional experiences provide people with a comprehensive and deep understanding when interacting with derivatives. This study has important implications for the art derivatives market, especially for artists and market planners. Future research could explore other factors that influence the evaluation of art derivatives to provide a more comprehensive guide to the market.

“…An increasing number of companies have realized that it is difficult to meet consumers' green needs by only producing brown products [1]. In order to respond to and capitalize on consumers' growing demand for green products [2][3][4], companies are expanding their market share by introducing green versions of their brown products [5][6][7][8]. For example, BMW and Toyota are developing new energy vehicles while producing gasoline vehicles [9].…”

How to Distribute Green Products in Competition with Brown Products? Direct Selling versus Agent Selling?

In order to respond to and take advantage of consumers’ growing interest in green products, an increasing number of firms are expanding their market share by introducing green versions of their brown products. However, firms are faced with the challenge of how to distribute green products to avoid mutual encroachment with brown products. To solve this problem, this paper constructs a Stackelberg game model consisting of a manufacturer (leader) and a retailer (follower), in which the manufacturer provides brown and green products, and then develops two channel structures for green products to be sold through the manufacturer (direct selling) and the retailer (agent selling). The results show that the manufacturer’s choice of green product distribution channels is affected by the direct selling costs and the market share of green consumers and their product preferences. When the direct selling cost is zero or consumers are green, the manufacturer always chooses direct selling. However, with an increase in the direct selling costs, if green consumers have a large difference in their preference for green and brown products, the manufacturer chooses agent selling, and vice versa. In particular, the impact of the market share of green consumers on the profits of the manufacturer is different in the two channel structures. The higher the market share of green consumers under agent selling, the more beneficial it is for the manufacturer. However, under direct selling, the profits of the manufacturer show an “inverted U” trend with the increase in the market share of green consumers. In addition, under certain conditions, the direct selling channels opened by the manufacturer are not necessarily to sell green products, but to maximize the market share of brown products. The strategy is to set high prices for green products in direct selling channels to stimulate consumers to buy brown products. These findings can provide insights for manufacturers to design appropriate green product distribution strategies.
