Is Simpler Always Better? Consumer Evaluations Of Front-Of-Package Nutrition Symbols, J. Craig Andrews, Scot Burton, Jeremy Kees
Marketing Faculty Research and Publications
Consumers of packaged goods products in the United States recently have faced an onslaught of front-of-package (FOP) nutrition symbols and icons, including the controversial “Smart Choices” single summary indicator. In a between-subjects experiment with 520 adult consumers, the authors compare effects of the Smart Choices (SC) icon, the more complex Traffic Light–Guideline Daily Amounts (TLGDAs) icon, and a no-FOP icon control for a nutritionally moderate food that qualifies for the SC icon.

Beyond Service Attributes: Do Personal Values Matter?, Srinivas Durvasula, Steven Lysonski, A.D. Madhavi
Marketing Faculty Research and Publications
Purpose – Service firms constantly look for ways to differentiate their offering.
