Descriptive studies of Internet purchasers profile the average purchaser as a resident of metropolitan area. While concepts such as "digital divide" have been used to explain the lack of Internet transactions in non-metro areas, little or no research has explored the relevance of product-specific variables in explaining Internet transactions.

Based on these analyses, implications for both virtual and brick-and-mortar businesses in non-metro regions are discussed. A key finding is that Internet transactions predominantly deal with "functional" products and speed of Internet connection doesn't influence residents' quality of life perceptions.

Drawing upon a cultural studies perspective, this study investigates the audience role in shaping corporate involvement in social issues - identified as cause-related corporate outreach. We assert that, more than consumer, voter, or passive receptor of corporate messages, the audience is an active participant in the communication process. This case study of the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, one of the most visible fitness-based fundraising events, examines the meaning individual participants construct during their involvement in the event. The study provides a context in which public relations practitioners and scholars alike can better understand the role corporate communication plays in defining and preserving community and social values. This understanding can help corporations buil...
