In an experience economy market competition in software branches is becoming more and more intense. Technical innovations, global retail practices and the multidimensional conception of experiences provide both opportunities and challenges for companies worldwide. Retailers strive for an optimized conversion rate, but poor UX still abound. Particularly Germany-based companies are less evolved in an international comparison of industrialized economies. The value of integrating users in the development process is recognized, but methodologies must carefully be incorporated into existing agile workflows. The goal of this study is to bridge the gaps between internal agency and external client and user interests. The contribution is four-fold: an overview of the current status of customer centricity in the E-Commerce branch of trade is provided (I). Based on this corpus, a methodical framework, aiming to incorporate the experience logic in UX practices within an agile project team, is presented (II). The framework is applied by a single case study - the shop relaunch of a motorbike accessory store (III). Finally, all interest groups (UX, development and project management) are incorporated in the qualitative content analysis (IV).
The present paper addresses the research question: What recommendations for action and potential adjustments should an online magazine for beauty and fashion implement in order to make affiliate articles in these sections even more appealing to the target group and provide added value for them?
To be able to answer this research question, three hypotheses were defined and tested with using qualitative and quantitative research. The qualitative research consisted of user experience testings, where four affiliate articles in the fields of beauty and fashion were tested with 13 participants. The quantitative research involved collecting, analyzing and evaluating data from the four affiliate articles conducted with the company's real-life target group. Based on these results, recommendations for action were derived, which should not only improve the quality of the content in the future, but also increase the efficiency of the implementation of those articles.
Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts Professional UX entwickelt die Hochschule Offenburg gemeinsam mit dem Softwarehaus Dr. Hornecker in Freiburg eine innovative Systemlösung, die es ermöglicht, anhand von Mimik, Stimme und Blickverlauf beim Nutzer entstehende Emotionen bei der Nutzung interaktiver Anwendungen zu erfassen und zu interpretieren. Ziel der Untersuchung ist es, Indikatoren zu identifizieren, die eine exakte Zuordnung von wahrgenommenen Reizen zu den jeweils ausgelösten Emotionen erlauben. Sobald negative Emotionen wie Ärger oder Unsicherheit auftreten, kann dieser erfasst und im Nachgang der jeweils irritierende Reiz eliminiert werden. Das Projektteam hat einen ersten Prototyp für die Professional UX Systemlösung in Form von Hard- und Software entwickelt, mit dem es möglich ist, UX-Messungen während der User Interaktion durchzuführen und automatisiert mithilfe von KI auswerten zu lassen.
In order to attract new students, German universities must provide quick and easy access to relevant information. A chatbot can help increase the efficiency in academic advising for prospective students. In this study we evaluate the acceptance and effects of chatbots in German student-university communication. We conducted a qualitative UX-Study with the chatbot prototype of Offenburg University of Applied Sciences (HSO), in order to determine which features are particularly relevant and which requirements are made by the users. The results show that acceptance increases if the chatbot offers quick and adequate assistance, furthermore, our participants preferred an informal communication style and valued friendly and helpful personality traits for chatbots.
