Purpose - People have long thought that disorderly space would influence their lives negatively. However, disorderly space may have positive impact such as increasing sales for new products for store managers. Borrowing the prior findings that disorderly space enhances creativity, we developed two hypotheses regarding space order, product newness, and new product adoption. We hypothesize that space order negatively influences new product adoption and that the proposed negative effect of space order on new product adoption is moderated by product newness. Research design, data, and methodology - We conducted a pre-test in China using 70 undergraduate students to test whether two newly developed cosmetic products were appropriate for the experimental stimuli. We confirmed that a fragrance patch concept, which is unavailable in the market, is a RNP (Really New Product), and an edible fragrance, which is available in the market, is an INP (Incrementally New Product). Next, we conducted a main experiment with a 2 (Space order: orderly vs. disorderly) × 2 (Product newness: RNP vs. INP) between-subjects design in China using 100 undergraduate students. Half of the participants answered questions on the disorderly desk and the other half answered questions on the orderly desk. Results - We obtained evidence from the main experiment that consumers' new product adoption is the function of space order and product newness. First, participants were more likely to adopt the RNP when they were in the disorderly space than in the orderly space. However, the effect of space order on new product adoption disappeared when the product was INP; the adoption rates for the INP did not differ between the participants who answered questions on the disorderly desk and the participants who did so on the orderly desk. Conclusions - Our findings are counter intuitive. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that neat and tidy space benefits store managers, the research demonstrated that disorderly space increases sales, providing fresh insights into store managers to manage their stores and shops to sell new products. In order to help store visitors understand the value of really new products, store managers will have to sacrifice space order to some extent.

We introduce the ${\kappa}_0$-proximity space as a generalization of the Efremovic-proximity space. We define a product ${\kappa}_0$-proximity and the quotient ${\kappa}_0$-proxmity and show some properties of ${\kappa}_0$-proximity space.

The graph of the parallelogram law is well known, which gives rise to the characterization of an inner product space among normed linear spaces [6]. In this paper we will sketch graphs of its deformations according to our previous paper [7, Theorem 3.1 and 3.2]; each one of which characterizes an inner product space among normed linear spaces. Consequently, the graphs of some classical characterizations of an inner product space follow easily.

G.Lumer [8] introduced the concept of semi-product space. H.M.El-Hamouly [7] introduced the concept of fuzzy inner product spaces. In this paper, we defined fuzzy semi-inner-product space and investigated some properties of fuzzy semi product space.

We study Einstein warped product spaces. As a result, we prove the following: if M is an Einstein warped product space with base a compact 2-dimensional surface, then M is simply a Riemannian product space.

The conharmonic transformation is a conformal trans-formation which satisfies a specified differential equation. Such a transformation was defined by Y. Ishii and we have generalized his results. Twisted product space is a generalized warped product space with a warping function defined on a whole space. In this paper, we partially classified the twisted product space and obtain a sufficient condition for a twisted product space to be locally Riemannian products.

Product-Service Systems (PSS) has drawn significant attention since it can effectively address diverse values of consumers by integrating products and services. PSS has been defined as a system of products, services, supporting networks and infrastructure that is designed to satisfy customer needs and to generate values. Manufacturing companies can accomplish business innovation by devising new service elements and providing PSSs starting from their products. Such new efforts are called manufacturing servitization. With analysis of the company's business contexts, diverse strategies could be set for servitization. Services could be developed so that their product functions can be supported. On the other hand, new services could be devised to drive active emotional values of their customers in a broadly related manner with their products. In this way, different servitization strategies in service space could be employed. In this paper, the product-service integration spaces for comparison of product-service systems in manufacturing servitization is briefly sketched. Various issue spaces, termed dimensions, would be used including service space, customer space, value space and business model space. Diverse PSS cases, including well-known PSSs and brand new PSSs, will be classified and compared to demonstrate the product-service integration spaces.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of task conditions (physical similarity between the spatial product and the reference space, presentation place of the spatial product) on children's spatial representation. The participants consisted of 40 3-year-olds and 40 4-year-olds. The results of this study are as follows. Both 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds were capable of a greater degree of spatial representation when there was a high level of physical similarity between the spatial product and the reference space, and when the presentation place of the spatial product was in the reference space. 4-year-olds were capable of more accurate spatial representation than 3-year-olds. There was no significant difference in the children's spatial representation depending on the type of spatial product (scale model, map). The results revealed that the physical similarity between the spatial product and the reference space and the presentation place of the spatial product are essential in young children's spatial representation. Additionally, the results indicated that spatial representation of children develops gradually from when they are three to when they turn four.

We introduce the Joint spectrum on the complex Banach space and on the complex Hilbert space and the tensor product spectrums on the tensor product spaces. And we will show ${\sigma}[P(T_1,T_2,{\ldots},T_n)]={\sigma}(T_1{\otimes}T_2{\otimes}{\cdots}{\otimes}T_n)$ on $X_1{\overline{\otimes}}X_2{\overline{\otimes}}{\cdots}{\overline{\otimes}}X_n$ for a polynomial P.

The concept of the Moore-Penrose inverse in an indefinite inner product space is introduced. Extensions of some of the formulae in the Euclidean space to an indefinite inner product space are studied. In particular range-hermitianness is completely characterized. Equivalence of a weighted generalized inverse and the Moore-Penrose inverse is proved. Finally, methods of computing the Moore-Penrose inverse are presented.
