In this article, we study e-commerce customer behaviour towards online shops. The theoretical model is based on Triandis' behavioural framework. Prior value research has mostly focused on users' attitudes towards online shopping. We explore the role of perceived value and habit in e-commerce behaviour. Structure equation results suggest that the utilitarian as well as the hedonic values have a significant impact on affect, and indirectly also on e-commerce behaviour. We also assessed the importance of habit on shoppers' online behaviour. According to our results, online shoppers' habitual behaviour has a significant impact on affect. We also found that normative beliefs (social factors) are the preceding factor of habit in cases in which the shopping experience is not recurrent.

This paper describes and analyses the mobile value chain development, value generation and mobile application development processes. The study is based on eight small multimedia and software companies that use the latest technological possibilities provided by the mobile Internet. The development processes analyzed give a good understanding of how the mobile value chain is made up as seen from the perspective of the development of state-of-the-art mobile multimedia service and content applications (MMS) within the companies studied. The mobile multimedia applications in question were games, short films, music videos, still pictures, and advertisement videos. The processes were scrutinized in order to find out how the different groups of developers act together with their value net partners according to the preset project plan as they develop new applications and content in the mobile multimedia environment. The essential elements, actors as well as their roles in the MMS development processes were analyzed in order to depict the structure of a mobile value network.

Agile software development methods have caught the attention of software engineers and researchers worldwide. Scientific research is yet scarce. This paper reports results from a study, which aims to organize, analyze and make sense out of the dispersed field of agile software development methods. The comparative analysis is performed using the method's life-cycle coverage, project management support, type of practical guidance, fitness-for-use and empirical evidence as the analytical lenses. The results show that agile software development methods, without rationalization, cover certain/different phases of the software development life-cycle and most of them do not offer adequate support for project management. Yet, many methods still attempt to strive for universal solutions (as opposed to situation appropriate) and the empirical evidence is still very limited. Based on the results, new directions are suggested In principal, it is suggested to place emphasis on methodological quality - not method quantity.
