AbstractPurpose -As the information society further develops, electronic services are created and physical distribution networks become sparse, it is important to analyse the determinants that inhibit or facilitate the ability to use these services. By focusing on the perceived behavioural control of computers, the purpose of this paper is to analyse how perceived physical restrictions, computer anxiety and ease of use influence the perceptions of control. Design/methodology/approach -The authors examined older consumers (aged 60-79) in two cross-sectional studies conducted through mail surveys in 2004 and 2012. Randomized samples (n ¼ 1,000 in 2004 and n ¼ 3,000 in 2012) were drawn from the Finnish Population Register. The empirical research utilized structural equation modelling through multi-group analysis to explore the differences in the interrelationships between physical restrictions, computer anxiety, perceived ease of use and perceived behavioural control. Findings -The results indicate that perceived behavioural control is directly influenced by ease of use and indirectly influenced by physical restrictions and computer anxiety. The eight-year time gap moderated only the relationship between physical restrictions and ease of use. Development seems to have been favourable, and device-related restrictions do not decrease ease of use as much as previously reported. Originality/value -The present study starts a new discussion on how time moderates the relationship of technology perceptions in behavioural models that have been used to predict behavioural intent.

Managing online product assortment and order fulfillment for superior e-tailing service experience

“…E-tailers face challenges on account of effective web atmospherics (Floh and Madlberger, 2013), fulfilling orders (Randall et al , 2006), timely delivery (Maltz et al , 2004) and inventory management (Agatz et al , 2008; Fernie and McKinnon, 2009). Other challenges are bargaining power of well-informed, and internet savvy, extremely demanding and choice-prone e-customers (Hagberg et al , 2016; Immonen and Sintonen, 2015).…”

Along with better experience, Consumer beliefs, opinions, perceptions, attitudes, trust, approach in embracing technology, value for convenience and one's risk taking ability all of these have made the situation more complex [5].…”

Understanding the elderly and their next of kin’s usage of mobile personal safety service

“…This is an area worth further investigation (Dodd et al , 2017). Finally, the research is conducted in Finland, a developed country, where elderly people’s technology usage has been encouraged (Heikkilä et al , 1999; Immonen and Sintonen, 2015; Jokela et al , 2009), and income is high. Future studies may investigate the situation in other countries to provide more comprehensive understanding about the elderly’s technology usage.…”

“…Education is found to have similar effects as need for cognition. Immonen and Sintonen (2015) conducted two cross-sectional surveys in 2004 and 2012, and they found perceived behavioral control is influenced by ease of use and, interestingly, they noted ease of use and behavioral control of computers have improved for the later sample.…”
