Accomplishments

Review of NCCC-065 Accomplishments 1. Set research priorities for multi-state and national work on emerging issues relevant to Social Change in the Marketplace. " San Antonio (2006): Special Topic Session, Research Agenda 2010: Forging New Directions and Partnerships  The session was organized and conducted by the NCCC-65 Multistate Research Coordinating Committee and Information Exchange Group to bring together a diverse and multi-disciplinary group of ITAA scholars to discuss social changes occurring in the marketplace and to set priorities for multi-institutional research. Changing market, environmental, and policy forces continue to create social change in the marketplace impacting producers, retailers, and consumers. Members of NCCC-65 are committed to fostering research and dialogue as a means of understanding and explaining marketplace changes that impact the consumer-marketplace interface. o As an outgrowth of previous ITAA Special Topic Sessions (1998 and 2000) and Workshops (2001, 2002, 2005) the focus of this session was on three key areas of social change in the marketplace: 1) technology and its impact on consumer/retailer/producer actions in the marketplace, 2) society's impact on consumer demand for goods and services to improve human well being, and 3) economic linkages among consumers, retailers, and producers to enhance community development. o Follow-up actions included establishing an e-mail distribution list to disseminate summaries of the breakout group session discussions. The following information was distributed via the e-mail summarizing the key areas of research generated during the special topic session. 1) Technology and its impact on consumer/retailer/producer actions in the marketplace (10 participants) - Human dimensions - Business perspectives - Technology and disaster preparedness/response - Partnerships between government and private industry - Adoption of technology (economic and social implications) - Apparel and textile design applications - Design copyright issues in a digital environment - Application of high tech products for mass market uses 2) Society's impact on consumer demand for goods and services to improve human well being (15 participants) - Overweight/obesity - Market segmentation (ethnic, age, and size groups) - Over indulgence (conspicuous consumption, materialism, over extended credit, counterfeits) - Socially responsible marketing (consumption, sustainability, green marketing/eco marketing) - World consumption patterns (generational differences, impact of society) - Body modification trends - Scale development to measure variables related to consumer behavior across cultures - Globalism effects (effects of consumerism, producers, retailers) - Apparel and spirituality - Balance of corporate responsibility with corporate profits - Legislative mandates 3) Economic linkages among consumers, retailers, and producers to enhance community development (8 participants) - Conceptualization of the consumer market (in the community, region, and at a distance via technology) - Changing consumer demographics due to in migration and out migration (ethnicity, aging, expertise, etc.) - Meeting the needs of a changing consumer market - Socio/cultural changes that infuse diverse expertise and create new consumer needs - Technological changes and the need for communication and education - Creating opportunities that employ and attract technology experts - Matching experience and expertise to support business development and mentoring " Los Angeles (2007) - Research on the Edge: From Concept to Fundable Proposal Pre-conference workshop at 2007 ITAA meeting, with 24 participants.
