Take Two Tablets And Do Not Call For Judicial Review Until Our Heads Clear: The Supreme Court Prepares To Demolish The 'Wall Of Separation' Between Church And State, Terence Lau, William Wines

Terence Lau

In this article, we examine the issues that bring First Amendment jurisprudence to the grant of certiorari in Pleasant Grove v. Summum, scheduled for oral argument in the Supreme Court of the United States in November. We examine the historical basis for America’s religious heritage, the historical judicial treatment of the religious clauses, and the erosion of the wall of separation between church and state. We examine the Ten Commandments, finding inherent discrimination present in modern-day attempts to advance a particular version of the Ten Commandments as secular. By drawing upon Rousseau’s civic religion, we suggest alternative routes for the …

Terence Lau

The rapid global diffusion of mobile marketing makes it increasingly important to understand cross-­‐cultural consumer attitudes and behavioral intentions toward mobile marketing as a promotional channel. By building on the previously published research of Altuna and Konuk (2009), this work investigates the attitudes and behavioral intentions toward mobile marketing of Generation Y consumers in the United States, France, and China. Based on this analysis, Chinese Gen Y have the most positive attitude toward mobile marketing, and their overall attitude is significantly more positive than the attitudes of French and American Gen Y groups. While American Gen Y's behavioral intentions are …

Success And Collaboration, Diane Wright

Diane Wright

Why Collaboration Leads to Success. According to Merriam-Webster.com, “Success is currently in the top 1% of lookups and is the 152nd most popular word on Merriam-Webster.com.” Clearly, this is a subject of interest to many. Somethings can be accomplished with minimal assistance, however; collaboration and cooperation leads to greater success. Working with others to produce or create something may be challenging. Yet, the rewards often far outweigh the challenges.

Here are 3 benefits I have received from collaborative efforts: 1- Build Relationships For example, while speaking with an executive in an unrelated field, we realized the opportunity that we had …

Nutritional Labelling In France - Causes And Implications Of Consumer Confusion, Luis González Vaqué

Luis González Vaqué

This article discusses the controversial and heavily debated initiatives aimed at introducing nutritional labelling in France – initiatives which have exploited the ambiguity of the Art. 35 of the Regulation (EU ) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers and have also perhaps misappropriated the provisions of Art. 34.

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.

Major League Baseball: What Really Puts Fans In The Stands?, Ladd Kochman

Ladd Kochman

Attendance at Major League Baseball games has long been thought to be a function of the uncertainty of a game's outcome. Optimal uncertainty and, in turn, maximal attendance are said to occur when there is a 60% chance that the home team will win. This study reexamined the data used by past researchers and found that the betting odds associated with a 60% probability of winning (7-8) are more consistent with outcome certainty than with the accepted conclusion of outcome uncertainty. One explanation for the counterintuitive finding may be that it simply costs too much to attend a MLB game …

How Consumers Perceive Environmental Advertising In The Banking Context, Kara Chan, Fei Fan

Kara Chan

A study was conducted to investigate how consumers respond to banking advertisements with environmental claims. The study adopts a 2×2×2 factorial design. Altogether 195 participants in Hong Kong, China, were asked to read an advertisement of either a well-known or a lesser-known bank, featuring either a global or a local environmental issue, and containing a substantive or an associative environmental claim. The advertisement featuring global warming generated more favorable attitudes toward the advertisement than the ad featuring air pollution in Hong Kong. Use of a substantive claim was able to generate a more favorable advertising effect than use of an …

The Effects Of Schema Congruity On Consumer Response To Celebrity Advertising, Tracy Harmon-Kizer

Tracy R. Harmon-Kizer Ph.D.

The trend of celebrity-branded products is on the rise, creating a new domain in which to explore the match-up hypothesis. Moving beyond the celebrity as an endorser, but rather, a brand promoting a brand extension, this article examines how perceived congruence between a celebrity's image and the brand image of products they have developed is related to attitudinal and behavioral measures of advertising effectiveness. Employing a 2 × 3 full factorial design, congruence between the celebrity's image and the brand's image was varied (less vs. more congruent), along with the use of the celebrity's image (present, absent, non-celebrity models) to …

Irene J. Dickey

This paper compares the perceived importance of specific online marketing tactics and their anticipated future use of online marketing tactics by small businesses in the United States and Australia. Results of the study reveal that both in the United States and in Australia, there is a growing use of online marketing tactics to accomplish marketing objectives. While most online marketing tactics were effective in both the United States and Australia, there were some statistically significant differences.

This research provides important information, insights and recommendations for incorporating the topic of social …

A literature review, as well as the results from our survey, reveals that not only have social networks evolved rapidly during the last few years, but so too have consumers’ behaviors. Subsequently, marketing strategies and tactics, and the potential for practitioners …

Consumer Generated Media: Evolving Marketing Opportunity For Consumer Engagement, Irene Dickey, William Lewis

Irene J. Dickey

This paper examines consumer-generated media (CGM), also called user-generated Web sites or social media, and the evolving and broad consumer behaviors associated with it. CGM websites have evolved rapidly during the last few years, but so have consumer behaviors and subsequently marketing tactics and future potential opportunities. Marketers should be aware of the characteristics of this type of website and understand how they are being used by consumers and other practitioners. CGM sites are primarily used by consumers to connect with others for many reasons. This connectivity, also called engagement, appears to be an opportunity for marketers to connect with …
