Price Variations in Online Auctions $114.71 In a thick market with a large number of homogeneous goods, it is often assumed that prices tend to converge. This assumption, however, does not hold in the context of online auctions. The goal of this work is to investigate how different factors may contribute to the auction price variation in a thick market. My approach is to systematically examine both the supply and demand side. On the supply side, both seller expertise and selling strategy influence the auction price, while seller expertise also affects how sellers develop their selling strategy. Likewise, on the demand side, both bidder expertise and bidding strategy influence the auction price, while bidder expertise also affects how bidders set their bidding strategy. The effect of these factors on price tends to vary across different levels of quality uncertainty. Drawing on auction theory, signaling theory and past empirical work, this study develops a framework to guide current as well as future research in the area of online auctions.

The Revelation of Bidder Information in Online Auctions $96.59 This book is based on a Ph.D. dissertation written at University of Mississippi. It investigates the decision about the revelation of bidder information in online auctions. It makes a novel contribution to the literature by investigating the relationship between bidder information asymmetry and bidder experience level. Bidder information is a signal about the experience level of bidder. Bidder experience affects the strategic decisions of both buyers and sellers. Using data from 500 Egyptian antique auctions (a common value auction) and 500 laptop auctions (a private value auction), following main results are identified. First, in common value auctions, sellers earn higher average prices when they conceal bidder information. In private value auctions, sellers generate higher average prices when proportionally more inexperienced bidders are present, regardless of whether or not they reveal bidder information. Then, in common value auctions, late bidding is observed more frequently when bidder information is revealed. Late bidding is relatively less common in private value auctions than in the common value auctions, regardless of whether or not sellers reveal bidder information.

Hotels at Online Auctions $96.59 The Internet has been found a powerful tool bringing about many opportunities but also threats for nearly every industry. The new and complex variety of online distribution channels that have emerged in the last years poses a challenge for the tourism industry. Moreover, the ability of handling and choosing among them effectively has become a critical success factor for hotels. The distribution of services on online auction platforms, such as eBay, is already utilised professionally in the field of tourism. Low entry and exit barriers as well as low distribution costs are major incentives for using this distribution channel. Sales on a larger scale, however, entail increased administrative efforts. For this reason online auction tools have been developed with the aim of facilitating auction management for sellers. For this study 1,074 auctions of Austrian accommodation offers on eBay, being sold by 68 different hotels from all over Austria, have been analysed in order to identify the most important success factors for selling hotel offers via this distribution channel.

B2B Reverse Auctions A Critical Evaluation $30.07 Scholary Paper aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Wirtschaft Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 1,3 (A), European Business School Internationale Universit t Schlo Reichartshausen OestrichWinkel (Marketing Cluster), Veranstaltung: Seminar: ECommerce Marketing, 29 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Abstract: B2B online, reverse auctions are said to revolutionize the traditional way suppliers and buyers do business. In 2001, General Electric expected to generate up to 600 million in savings by organizing their procurement through the means of online, reverse auctions. In 2000 Forrester Research estimated that B2B online, reverse auctions would reach 52 billion in revenue by the end of 2002. A benchmark study by CAPS Research stated that 1,5 of todays purchases are made through electronic auctions.Even studies considered conservative believe that 10 of all procurement budgets, which total 4,1 trillion in the U.S., could be spent through reverse auctions. That would mean over 400 billion spent through reverse auctions would create savings of up 50 billion, taking into account a conservative savings rate of 12. These savings make up 0,5 of the USGIP. These are impressive numbers for a simple procurement tool, and they have persisted through the end of the online hype and the decline of the new markets in 2001 and 2002. Do these numbers represent true savings, finally holding the promise of B2B ecommerce? Or do they just delude other consequences?Because the practice of online, reverse auctions came into being only recently, it is too early to ascertain long term consequences. Thus, this paper will draw a first overview of the shortterm positive and negative consequences on behalf of the buyer and the supplier. Author: R. V.

Internet Auctions $109.01 Internet Auctions begins with the introduction of the basic settings, concepts, and processes that are the building blocks of auction research. It then focuses on the transition from preInternet auction research to more recent topics. Special attention is given to research opportunities as well as to experimental methods that can provide both laboratory and field data to answer important questions. Internet Auctions reviews recent empirical and theoretical works on Internet auctions with a focus on Internet auction design, formats, and features that are currently debated in the marketing literature. Some of these issues are extensions of general auction topics, but the findings can be quite different in Internet environments. This volume examines new design features that are particularly relevant to Internet auctions such as feedback ratings, buyitnow options, and different closing rules. The authors also look at strategic and behavioral models that are shaping marketing research on Internet auctions. While much of this analysis is grounded in economics, there is less focus on economic theory and a greater focus on managerial questions. Author: Haruvy, Ernan/ Popkowski Leszczyc, Peter T. L.

MultiParameter Auctions $113.11 Fair resource allocation plays an important role in determining the end performance of any computer system. Depending on the nature of resources and the mode of sharing, usually algorithms are implemented either in hardware or in software to guarantee fairness in resource sharing. These algorithms are generally complex and make the job of design verification difficult. Hence one can think of designing simpler algorithms, those would reduce the difficulty during design verification without losing much on the system performance. One such approach can be to have the competing agents specify their valuations for the resources. A central allocator listens to the valuations and takes allocation decisions accordingly. As the allocation is done solely depending on the valuations given by the agents, one needs to ensure truthfulness of the agents. In such cases we can view the resource allocation problem as a mechanism design problem. We investigate how the problem of page allocation in DSM multiprocessors can be solved using multiparameter auctions. We formulate the page allocation problem as a multiparameter auction and find out truthfulness conditions for such multiparameter auctions.

Online Auction Business Model $87.62 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The online auction business model is one in which participants bid for products and services over the Internet. The functionality of buying and selling in an auction format is made possible through auction software which regulates the various processes involved. Several types of online auctions are possible. In an English auction the initial price starts low and is bid up by successive bidders. In a Dutch auction, multiple identical items are offered in one auction, with all winning bidders paying the same price the highest price at which all items will be sold (treasury bills, for example, are auctioned this way). Currently almost all online auctions use the English auction method. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
