“…Primarily developed by Saaty (1980), AHP has become a useful and significant method for solving complex decision problems that involve uncertainty and complexity (Liberatore, Nydick, & Sanchez, 1992; Madu, Kuei, & Madu, 1991; Saaty, 1980; Udo, 2000; Wu et al, 2008; Yang & Huang, 2000; Zahedi, 1986). It helps in decomposing the complex problem into simple hierarchy and prioritizes the various variables that influence a particular behaviour.…”

The aim of this study is to analyse and prioritize the antecedents of customer shopping experience to enhance the understanding of marketers about what their consumers really want. The construct of customer shopping experience in the consumer behaviour theory is a well acclaimed one and has been studied in several contexts with varied perspectives; however, the researchers seldom noticed any endeavour to prioritize the antecedents of the shopping experience from the experts’ viewpoint. The present study endeavours to utilize analytical hierarchy process (AHP) modelling to find the degree of importance that customers attach to different criteria of the three key precursors of shopping experience, that is, the store environment, the social environment and the purchase motives with their underlying sub-criteria. The results of the study evidently propagate social environment as the most important criterion followed by store environment and purchase motives. This ranking is not just an ordinary exposition of placing one before another, but it expounds that the consumer is much concerned about the environment while making a buying decision. The key sub-criterion of social environment is customer interaction, which means that the customer is more concerned about the social interactions that have the potential to influence their psychology when they shop with their family or peer group. These results have several interestingly explorable implications for both retailers as well as marketers.

“…It can also be inferred, from a review of the literature that uses this method, that the Delphi has been applied in numerous studies with normative and not only predictive purposes. For example, Pérez and Schüler (1982), Madu et al (1991), Dexter et al (1993), Doke and Swanson (1995), Dekleva and Zupancic (1996), Keil et al (2002) and Mulligan (2002) among others, had used the normative Delphi in their IS research works.…”

PurposeOutsourcing has been growing unstoppably all over the world in recent years. It is Information Systems (IS) managers that are having to face this phenomenon most directly in their departments. For this reason, our paper has as its aim to show IS managers' assessment of outsourcing in the Spanish case. Design/Methodology/ApproachWith this purpose, we have used the normative Delphi method with two rounds, showing the results obtained in the second round. The IS Managers of the largest Spanish firms were the experts interviewed in the study. FindingsThe experts interviewed suggest a widespread growth of IS outsourcing but describe a somewhat hostile environment around this phenomenon. This could be the reason why IS outsourcing has not developed in Spanish firms as much as those experts think is possible and even necessary. Originality/ValueThis paper offers the IS Managers' view about outsourcing and shows that they look at it as a way to improve their information services. The Delphi method, that has been often used in the IS field, helped us to confirm, in the second round, the conclusions that we had reached in the first round.

“…By definition, the evaluation is thus subjective. However, the use of experts in a systematic manner can yield a satisfactory solution to socio-technical problems (Madu et al, 1991). The method is particularly appropriate when decision making is required in a political, emotional environment, or when the decisions affect strong factions with opposing preferences.…”

Economic indicators are essential for policy making. In transition economies and in Russia in particular, both the quality of data and their comparability are subject to criticism. This phenomenon is particularly observable for the Kaliningrad region, which is currently at the centre of discussions between the European Union and the Russian Federation. At present, many observers and policy makers are dissatisfied with the existing figures. The objective of this paper is to fill part of the gap and to give an economic image of the Russian enclave, on the basis of five years of fieldwork. We concentrate on the assessment of Kaliningrad’s trading openness and its economic development level. In a first section, we reassess the trading position of the region taking into account its geographical location. Second, we give an appraisal of the unrecorded economy of the enclave and reassess regional production. Finally, we make Gross Regional Product comparable with other countries and reassess the region’s GRP in purchasing power parity.
