Future Proof And Real-World Ready: The Role Of Live Project-Based Learning In Students’ Skill Development, Andrew J. Rohm, Matthew Stefl, Noriko Ward

Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works

The rapid pace of technological change taking place today makes it even more important for marketing educators to incorporate relevant technical and higher level meta-skills in their digital marketing courses. We review the pedagogical literature on skill development and project-based learning and detail two live course projects designed to help students develop technical skills related to digital marketing in addition to important meta-skills involving creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. We evaluate the impact of the projects through a direct and indirect assessment process. Findings suggest that live project–based learning can support the development of the technical and meta-skills necessary …

Cognitive And Affective Scarcities And Relational Abundance: Lessons From The Confluence Of Extreme And Chronic Scarcities In Subsistence Marketplaces, Madhu Viswanathan Jan 2020

Cognitive And Affective Scarcities And Relational Abundance: Lessons From The Confluence Of Extreme And Chronic Scarcities In Subsistence Marketplaces, Madhu Viswanathan

Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works

Research on subsistence marketplaces provides a number of insights about extreme and chronic resource scarcity as well as intangible scarcities in cognitive and affective realms. These insights have been developed from a variety of sources—quantitative and qualitative research, as well as education for communities and for students through a symbiotic academic-social enterprise. These insights are juxtaposed with extant work on scarcity in consumer research, to derive implications for future research and stimulate thinking on a broad variety of scarcities. Our holistic deep dive into extreme scarcity and its multiple dimensions from the perspective of consumer behavior has much to offer …

Academic programs and educators face numerous challenges related to teaching digital marketing. Today, the world of marketing is digital and marketing programs have struggled to maintain pace with the changes influencing marketing practice. The authors describe the M-School program at Loyola Marymount University, a program developed to address this challenge by placing digital marketing at the center of the curriculum. Through experiential learning and project-based learning, M-School courses expose students to real-life challenges involving ways in which companies and organizations generate consumer awareness, demand, and value given the significant digital shifts taking place in technology and consumer behavior. The authors …

Implementation Of Social Innovations In Subsistence Marketplaces: A Facilitated Institutional Change Process Model, Madhu Viswanathan Jan 2019

Implementation Of Social Innovations In Subsistence Marketplaces: A Facilitated Institutional Change Process Model, Madhu Viswanathan

Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works

Implementation of social innovations in subsistence marketplaces often fails as a result of not bringing about institutional change. In this article, we study the process through which social enterprises facilitate local communities in effecting the process of institutional change as they introduce social innovations. Analyzing rich ethnographic data from 19 social enterprises, we develop the process of “facilitated institutional work” for implementing social innovation. We present a process model for implementing social innovation with four distinct stages involving social enterprises—(1) legitimating themselves within local communities, (2) disrupting aspects of the local institutional environment, (3) helping re-envision institutional norms or practices, …

Is The Internet Killing Your Creative Potential?, Matt Stefl, Andrew Rohm Phd Jan 2017

Is The Internet Killing Your Creative Potential?, Matt Stefl, Andrew Rohm Phd

Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works

The managers’ capacity for true creativity and deep critical-thinking risks being diminished by our 24/7 connectedness in an information-intensive world. In order to investigate this, the authors devised a simple experiment involving the creation of paper airplanes to gauge whether Google search behavior (serving as a proxy for our direct access to information) encourages or inhibits creativity. Our primary research question examines whether outcomes of design thinking taking place without instant access to information via the Internet would be more or less creative?

The Impact Of Attitudinal Ambivalence On Weight Loss Decisions: Consequences And Mitigating Factors, My Bui, Courtney M. Droms, Georgiana Craciun Jan 2014

The Impact Of Attitudinal Ambivalence On Weight Loss Decisions: Consequences And Mitigating Factors, My Bui, Courtney M. Droms, Georgiana Craciun

Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works

This research takes a new look at individuals' attitudes and intentions towards losing weight. Study 1 examines the relationship among those interested in losing weight and individual self-evaluative ambivalence on attitude towards trying to achieve a weight loss goal and the intentions to achieve the weight loss goal. For Study 2, a between-subjects experimental design, where attitudinal ambivalence and prior outcome feedback were manipulated and self-efficacy was measured, is conducted to examine attitude towards eating healthier and intention to change eating behaviours. Findings across the two studies show that attitudinal ambivalence about the self and the individual's abilities and motivation …

Female Hurricanes Are Deadlier Than Male Hurricanes, Madhu Viswanathan Jan 2014

Female Hurricanes Are Deadlier Than Male Hurricanes, Madhu Viswanathan

Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works

Do people judge hurricane risks in the context of gender-based expectations? We use more than six decades of death rates from US hurricanes to show that feminine-named hurricanes cause significantly more deaths than do masculine-named hurricanes. Laboratory experiments indicate that this is because hurricane names lead to gender-based expectations about severity and this, in turn, guides respondents’ preparedness to take protective action. This finding indicates an unfortunate and unintended consequence of the gendered naming of hurricanes, with important implications for policymakers, media practitioners, and the general public concerning hurricane communication and preparedness.

A Mixed-Method Approach For Developing Market Segmentation Typologies In The Sports Industry, Andrew J. Rohm Jan 2006

A Mixed-Method Approach For Developing Market Segmentation Typologies In The Sports Industry, Andrew J. Rohm

Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works

This study presents a mixed-method approach for segmenting a sports product-market using participation motivation data. Qualitative data are used to segment a national sports product-market—running footwear—using qualitative analysis software as well as multivariate statistical approaches. This study describes a systematic approach to developing a consumer segmentation typology using both demographic variables as well as self-expressed motivations for sport and fitness participation. The mixed-method approach reported here employs qualitative data to help validate subsequent quantitative cluster analysis, and draws upon cluster profiles to establish the structure for market segmentation. The findings from this study offer implications for marketing research and marketing …
