The Changing Climate Of Black Hair Care: Marketing To Natural Consumers, Jasmin Joseph, Undergraduate Program Sep 2015

The Changing Climate Of Black Hair Care: Marketing To Natural Consumers, Jasmin Joseph, Undergraduate Program

McDonough Research Journal

This study is a comprehensive analysis of the black hair care industry and the changes within it as a result of an increase in consumers with “natural hair,” that is, those embracing their natural hair texture as opposed to manipulating it permanently by chemical means. Rapid changes in technology have changed the way consumers engage with product offerings and lowered barriers to entry for new brands. As a result, the historical points of parity and overall branding methodology within black hair and beauty products have drastically changed and manifested in the form of declining sales for over 75% of the …

Impact Of Internet And Social Media On Organisational Change Of Otc Medicines Marketing Management, Vasja Roblek

Vasja Roblek

Pharmaceutical companies have been forced to change their approach to selling over-the-counter (OTC) medicines because of the increased pressure on sales margins. The development of Web 2.0, Web 3.0, and social media technologies allow low-cost online marketing, including e-commerce. An organisational adaptation has to cope with the changes in the OTC drug market is required because of the widespread use of the internet and social media. The increased importance of digital media for marketing has convinced the OTC medical industry to include the use of social media in its customer relationship management strategy. Qualitative research on the impact of the …

The new technological age is changing the rules in marketing. Now consumers are influenced by other sources of information and brands might be losing the battle. Itamar Simonson and Emanuel Rosen state in their book “Absolute Value” that consumers now base their decisions on reviews from other users, opinions and other emerging technologies that are turning choices more rational. Therefore traditional sources of information controlled by marketing are fading.

[Slides] Resale Price Maintenance In The Age Of Showrooming, Jeanine Miklos-Thal, Greg Shaffer Jan 2015

[Slides] Resale Price Maintenance In The Age Of Showrooming, Jeanine Miklos-Thal, Greg Shaffer

Jeanine Miklos-Thal

We examine the leading pro-competitive justification for RPM, free-riding on dealer services, in today’s context of brick-and-mortar versus online retailing. Market research studies show that many consumers visit a brick-and-mortar store to examine a product and select its features, but then purchase it at a discounted price from an online retailer. An often-voiced concern is that such “showrooming” will discourage traditional retailers from providing demand-enhancing sales services. According to the classic free-riding theory (Telser, 1960), manufacturers can solve this problem by imposing price floors that prevent online retailers from undercutting brick-and-mortar retailers. Counter to this widely used argument, we find …

How Do Gamblers Maintain And Illusion Of Control?, Elizabeth Cowley, Donnel A. Briley, Colin Farrell

Donnel A Briley

Gamblers' enduring illusions of control (IOC) may be one reason why they continue to gamble in the face of sustained losses. If gamblers persist in the belief that they have special skills, knowledge and other advantages when gambling, they may be able to convince themselves it is worth doing again. Maintaining an IOC requires selective attention of the illusion supporting moments during the construction of an evaluation of a gambling session.Objective: Test the hypothesis that selected moments, specifically the moment of the highest win and the last moment of the gaming session, explain the retrospective evaluation of the session for …

In-depth interviews were conducted with millennial consumers to explore this second screen experience. High levels of Personal and Social-Interactive Engagement was identified, through a variety of experiences. The need for greater understanding of engagement through experience in relation to new media such as social networks and mobile media has been identified in previous studies, consequently research that increases our understanding of the fast-changing media lives of this cohort is timely, and of significant industry and managerial value.


Is Food Marketing Making Us Fat? Fat Cats Vs Dogmatists., Stephen S. Holden Jul 2014

Is Food Marketing Making Us Fat? Fat Cats Vs Dogmatists., Stephen S. Holden

Stephen S Holden

For many, it seems obvious that food marketing is making us fat. The anger and outrage that was once evoked by tobacco companies is now being repackaged and aimed at ‘Big Food’ (Hennessy, 2014). But is it justified, is food marketing the cause of obesity? And in any case, does outrage and dogmatism help solve the problem? This paper suggests that blaming the marketers, both Big Food and "lazy leisure", is a disputable claim, and dangerously shifts responsibility from individuals to external agents.


Employee Judgments Of And Behaviors Towards Corporate Social Responsibility: A Multi-Study Investigation Of Direct, Cascading, And Moderating Effects, Pavlos A. Vlachos, Nick Panagopoulos, Adam Rapp Jul 2014

Employee Judgments Of And Behaviors Towards Corporate Social Responsibility: A Multi-Study Investigation Of Direct, Cascading, And Moderating Effects, Pavlos A. Vlachos, Nick Panagopoulos, Adam Rapp

Pavlos A Vlachos

Do employee judgments of their organization’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs relate to CSR-specific performance and in-role job performance? Can middle managers influence the formation of such judgments and what factors might moderate such cascading influences? To answer these yet unaddressed questions, we conduct three studies. Study 1 takes an organizational justice perspective and tests our baseline model. Results show that employees’ CSR judgments trigger their affective commitment and performance on extra-role CSR-specific behaviors; however, extra-role CSR-specific performance is unrelated to in-role job performance. Study 2 replicates Study 1’s findings while, in addition, applies a social information processing approach and …

Food Product Target Market Prioritization Using Mcdm Approaches, Mohammadsadegh Mobin, Mohammad Dehghanimohammadabadi, Christian Salmon

Mohammadsadegh Mobin

This paper applies multiple Multi-Criteria Decision Management (MCDM) methods as a mechanism for identifying international markets for a producing nation’s food production. The specific application presented in this paper is for export markets of Iranian Pistachios; however, the model could be applicable across multiple food products and nations. Quantitative and qualitative criteria for market assessment were identified via a literature review. These include: 1) Regulation criterion, 2) Cultural criterion, 3) Transportation distance criterion, 4) Economy criterion, 5) Market potential criterion, 6) Politics criterion, 7) Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA).

Impact Of Corporate Social Responsibility On Otc Medicines Consumers, Vasja Roblek

Vasja Roblek

In the article is presented the case of trust-based marketing of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. The relationship between the hypotheses was tested by means of structural equation modelling. The results of the first model show that the predictor variable (consumer satisfaction with safety and information) has a significant effect on the mediator variable (consumer trust). The results of the second model show that the consumer trust also has a significant effect on virtual brand loyalty (dependent variable). Model 3 was developed by including consumer perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and consumer trust as independent predictor variables and virtual brand loyalty …

Study Of Current Marketing Behavior Practices For Application Of Marketing Behavior Matrix In Online Marketing, Dipanjay Jayant Bhalerao

Dipanjay Jayant Bhalerao

Behavioral aspect in marketing domain has been crucial majorly from consumer‟s point of view. Since 1957, exceptthe theory of MBEA (Marketing Behavior and Executive Action) by Prof. Wroe Alderson, the behavioral part was researched only in the consumer buying behavior arena. In the words of Prof. Wroe Alderson –“All marketing activity is an aspect of the interaction among organized behavior systems related to each other in what may be described as an ecological network. Operating systems are a subclass of behavior systems, distinguished by inputs and outputs and the structuring of processes to achieve efficiency” (Wroe Alderson, 1957). As per …


Distinguishing ‘Mhealth’ From Other Healthcare Services In A Developing Country: A Study From The Service Quality Perspective, Saradhi Motamarri, Shahriar Akter, Pradeep Ray, Chung-Li Tseng Jan 2014

Distinguishing ‘Mhealth’ From Other Healthcare Services In A Developing Country: A Study From The Service Quality Perspective, Saradhi Motamarri, Shahriar Akter, Pradeep Ray, Chung-Li Tseng

Shahriar Akter

Mobile phones’ exponential growth is fuelling the emergence of mobile health (mHealth), thus contributing to healthcare services’ innovative transformation in developing countries. mHealth’s ubiquitous personalised capabilities obviate the access barriers and dismal performance of conventional systems, thus -therefore gaining popularity among patients. Researchers have focused on service quality – a vital element of service adoption – and sustainability. For mHealth to become a robust alternative, how patients perceive mHealth vis-à-vis conventional services must be understood. Comparative analysis studies between mHealth and conventional systems are scarce yet would contribute to theory and strengthen the antecedent phases to service quality, that is, …

1. The Establishment Of Industrial Branding Through Dyadic Logistics Partnership Success (Lps): The Case Of Malaysian Automotive And Logistics Industry, Nor Aida Binti Abdul Rahman, Tc Melewar, Am Sharif

Nor Aida Binti Abdul Rahman

Logistics partnerships across dyadic and triadic relationship networks have been the basis of extensive research in the extant literature. It is well understood that competitive advantage within logistics and distribution and within supply chains are driven by value-adding aspects of not only the core competencies of each tier in the network, but also via tangential supporting factors. It is also well understood that there is a strong relationship between logistics and distribution and marketing functions, particularly in product-based organisations. In addition to deepening our understanding of how successful partnerships throughout the source–make–deliver continuum can be optimised this research also seeks …


Should It Be Green Or Not? Investigating What Constitutes Prototypical Packaging Design For Organic Food, Polymeros Chrysochou, Alexandra Festila, Aleksandra Georgieva, Diana Todorova Jan 2014

Should It Be Green Or Not? Investigating What Constitutes Prototypical Packaging Design For Organic Food, Polymeros Chrysochou, Alexandra Festila, Aleksandra Georgieva, Diana Todorova

Polymeros Chrysochou

The market for organic food products showed impressive growth rates in 2010, accounting for 59 billion US dollars (Sahota, 2012). This high growth is underpinned by an increased availability of organic food products through big retail chains and by following similar marketing strategies to conventional brands. Hence, communication at the point of sale that the product is organic is of increased importance in order to be distinguished from conventional ones. Packaging is among those marketing tools that contribute in brand differentiation and establish brand identity and, since most of the food choices are made in store, it represents the only …


A Dynamic View Of Cultural Influence: A Review, Donnel A. Briley, Robert S. Wyer Jr., En Li Jan 2014

A Dynamic View Of Cultural Influence: A Review, Donnel A. Briley, Robert S. Wyer Jr., En Li

Donnel A Briley

Static models of culture’s influence have given way to a dynamic view, which identifies not only differences across cultures in people’s judgments and decisions, but also the situations and conditions in which these differences do or do not appear. Theory and evidence developed from a cognitive psychological perspective underlie this dynamic approach, including research emerging from the “dynamic constructivist” and “situated cognition” models. In the present review, we focus on findings that confirm the utility of this cognitively oriented approach, and briefly discuss the advantages and complementary nature of the “social collective” and neuroscience approaches to understanding culture.

Everyday Advertising Context: An Ethnography Of Advertising Response In The Family Living Room, Laknath Jayasinghe, Mark Ritson Jun 2013

Everyday Advertising Context: An Ethnography Of Advertising Response In The Family Living Room, Laknath Jayasinghe, Mark Ritson

Laknath Jayasinghe

Consumer research largely examines television advertising effects using conventional psychological accounts of message processing. Consequently, there is an emphasis on the influence of textual content at the expense of the everyday interpersonal viewing contexts surrounding advertising audiences. To help restore this theoretical imbalance an ethnographic study was conducted in eight Australian homes to explore the influence of everyday viewing contexts on advertising audiences. This article examines how the everyday advertising contexts of social interaction, viewing space, media technology use, and time impact consumer responses to television advertising texts. Advertising viewing behavior in the family living room is framed within broader …

Like It Or Not? Customer Brand Engagement On Online Social Media Platforms, Justina Malciute, Polymeros Chrysochou

Polymeros Chrysochou

Social networking is currently the most popular online activity among consumers worldwide accounting for almost one in every five minutes spent online, and reaching 82% of the entire world’s online population, which represents an audience of nearly 1.2 billion internet users (comScore, 2011). For those firms who pursue their presence in social media, the issue of consumer engagement and how it further contributes in creating deeper and more lasting customer brand relationships has emerged (Kumar et al., 2010). Despite the increasing interest on customer engagement through social media, anecdotal research shows that the resulting levels of engagement are rather low. …
