“…Other variables, such as demographics and socioeconomics, cultural context/variation, family life cycle, product knowledge, the presence of children, etc., all have a certain influence on the decision-making process (Cosenza and Davis, 1981;Fodness, 1992;Harcar et al, 2005;O'Guinn et al, 1987;Wang et al, 2004;Webster, 2000;Xia et al, 2006;Zalatan, 1998).…”

“…As family consumption preferences cannot be predicted by individual family members' buying preferences alone, spousal influence on particular consumption is crucial (see Ashraf, 2009;Grønhøj & Thøgersen, 2011;Menasco & Curry, 1989;Webster, 2000;Wut & Chou, 2013). Nevertheless, the literature body does not provide comprehensive information on the influence of family members, especially spouses on CSA membership.…”

Fresh vegetables originating from alternative food networks (AFNs) are an increasingly popular choice all over the world. Being part of an AFN frequently redefines consumption and participation of family members in food‐related activities. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a type of AFN, providing increased access to produce in a form of risk‐sharing model between farmers and consumers, which at the same time influences organization of household resources. Thus, not only the given member of a CSA, but also his/her spousal activities in household processes should be taken in account. It is clear that entering into CSA significantly affects lifestyles and frequently requires a great deal of adaptation, possibly leading to a crisis of whether to stay within the CSA or cease membership. The objective of this study was to reveal how spouses influence CSA membership. Using an explorative design, this study has identified three emerging patterns of spousal influence: coherent, integrative and neutral/antagonistic. The spousal influence on CSA membership may represent partner activities regarding food issues but also has an effect on food preparation and culinary choices at home. Our findings suggest that membership in CSA presents challenges and thus spousal support is crucial in the long term. As a consequence, spousal influence should be examined in relation to CSA participation. Inconveniences associated with CSA membership could be avoided by providing more information about the importance of spousal support.

“…Another factor that affects Thai consumers' decision making is their culture (Silayoi and Speece, 2007;Webster, 2000). In general, Thai culture is classified as being collectivist, which means that Thai people are influenced by friends, family and social groups to which they belong (Sukato and Elsey, 2009).…”

“…In terms of family influence, Silayoi and Speece (2007) point out that the father is most likely to pay the household bills, whereas mothers tend to make the final decision at the point of purchase. Also, wives in Thailand tend to have strong influence over their husbands' decision-making (Webster, 2000). It is also common for Thai children to have a say in purchasing decisions when the household service relates to them (Webster, 2000).…”

This research aims to explore the characteristics and perceptions of Internet Service Provider' customers in order to provide a general picture of ISP subscribers and enable more customer-focused market strategies. Data was obtained from 2,059 Internet users in all the regions of Thailand via an online survey.The result shows that no noticeable differences were found among age groups in terms of the reasons for their switching. In contrast, customers with higher income were more likely to choose poor Internet service performance as the main reason to switch. Therefore, it is likely that age did not contribute to the respondents' motivation for switching while income was an important factor in switching behaviour. Additionally, high price and fewer promotional packages are popular reasons for switching among groups with the lowest levels of household income.Practical implications that can be drawn from this research will form a foundation for service providers in the home ISP to develop new retention strategies. As a result, ISPs will be able to reduce the current issues relating to customer switching in the home ISP.
