Data from a field study were used to assess the relationship between two individual differences variables, (a) rigidity, (b) self-esteem, and beliefs and attitudes toward the introduction of a computer-based information system. Multiple regression and correlation analyses showed that rigidity was negatively related to computer-related beliefs and attitudes. Further, the data indicated that self-esteem was not related to either computer-related beliefs or attitudes. Implications of these results for dealing with resistance to computerization are discussed.

Cosmetics industry has a share of 135 billion dollars in the global market. The biggest multinational cosmetics companies in the world such as Avon, Procter and Gamble, Estee Lauder, Nivea, L’oreal are very much interested in the Turkish market. Turkey is a developing country in terms of cosmetics consumption and has a great potential with a population of 70 million. This study aims to determine whether turkish women have brand loyalty among skin-care products in the cosmetics sector. It is our hope that the results of this study will help foreign and domestic cosmetics companies, already existing in or planning to enter the Turkish market, in shaping their marketing strategies.

The author reports a field study of dyadic channel relationships in India. Among the findings is that a manufacturer's perceived power is related positively to the frequency of use of relatively high pressure influence strategies by its field representatives. The need to conduct studies across several industries and countries is underscored by the study findings.

Technology addictions (TA) have become a global scourge in recent times, yet in information systems (IS) literature, while a lot of research is being done from developed countries and health-related disciplines, little attention is being paid to this menace by IS scholars from developing countries. To address this issue, this chapter provides a viewpoint on the future research that seeks to investigate from a multidisciplinary and stakeholder perspective what the nature of TA from developing country context is. It will also determine how the socio-technical interaction between human motivations and technology features result in TA, which is novel in IS literature.
