Working Paper Series

e-Auction Website:

campusauctionmarket.com This e-auction website is a service to the Edmonton community, including partnerships with local charity auctions, and as field research on effective electronic auction practices.

Objective of the Research Alliance

Our objective is to increase understanding of consumer decision-making in each of four stages of interaction with electronic commerce sites. In the new economy, understanding consumers' actions and perceptions as they progress through the 'web-interaction cycle' is central for Canadian business to achieve on-line competitiveness, for consumers to better utilize new electronic capabilities, and for the government to establish a level playing-field among providers of retailing and services. Our secondary objective is, thereby, to help retail businesses, consumers, and governments function better in the new economy.
