Electronic Kiosks in Retail Service Delivery

Abstract

In-store interactive kiosks using Internet technology represent a channel within a channel in many retail and service settings. They offer wide-ranging informational, transactional and promotional benefits, as well as contributing to customer relationship management. Widespread adoption by customers is, however, required to realize their full potential. Drawing upon the diffusion of innovations and technology acceptance models, two empirical studies are reported, one using a kiosk prototype, the other an in-store trial system. In both cases, a model was able to predict around 50% of intention to use. Implications for retail strategy, positioning within stores, facility promotion and system design are discussed.

The Retail Park: Customer Usage and Perceptions of a Retailing Innovation

Recently described as a ‘peculiarly British innovation’, retail parks are an increasingly important element of the UK's urban retail structure.

Abstract

This paper attempts to identity and establish a taxonomy of generalizable components of customer service. It discusses and incorporates the works of previous authors studying customer service.
