Determinants Of Sports Sponsorship Response, Richard Speed, Peter Thompson Dec 1999

Determinants Of Sports Sponsorship Response, Richard Speed, Peter Thompson

Richard Speed

Despite the growing role of sponsorship in the marketing activities of firms worldwide, academic research in this area has been limited. Adopting a classical conditioning framework, this research examines the effects of consumers’ attitudes about a sports event, their perceptions of sponsor-event fit and their attitudes about the sponsor on a multi-dimensional measure of sponsorship response. The results suggest that sponsor-event fit, perceived sincerity of the sponsor, perceived ubiquity of the sponsor and attitude towards the sponsor are key factors in generating a favorable response from sponsorship. Liking of the event and perceived status of the event have differing significance …

Analysis Of Empirical Surveys On Organisational Innovation And Lessons For Future Community Innovation Surveys, Juergen Wengel, Gunter Lay, Annette Nylund, Lars Bager-Sjogren, Paul Stoneman, Nicola Bellini, Andrea Bonaccorsi, Philip Shapira

Philip Shapira

To address issues of how to better gather data on organisational innovation, the study “Analysis of Empirical Surveys on Organisational Innovation and Lessons for Future Community Innovation Surveys,” was commissioned by DG XIII-C of the European Commission. The study had two major aims:
  • The scattered experiences with surveys on organisational innovations in Europe had to be collected and summarised, both with respect to methodological and application success factors, in a systematic way.
  • These experiences were to form the basis for the development of methodological approaches to examining organisational innovation Community-wide, in a comparable way and taking into account the needs …

Semiparametric Regression: An Exposition And Application To Print Advertising Data, Michael S. Smith, Robert Kohn, Sharat K. Mathur Dec 1999

Semiparametric Regression: An Exposition And Application To Print Advertising Data, Michael S. Smith, Robert Kohn, Sharat K. Mathur

Michael Stanley Smith

A new regression based approach is proposed for modeling marketing databases. The approach is Bayesian and provides a number of significant improvements over current methods. Independent variables can enter into the model in either a parametric or nonparametric manner, significant variables can be identified from a large number of potential regressors and an appropriate transformation of the dependent variable can be automatically selected from a discrete set of pre-specified candidate transformations. All these features are estimated simultaneously and automatically using a Bayesian hierarchical model coupled with a Gibbs sampling scheme. Being Bayesian, it is straightforward to introduce subjective information about …


A Body Of Consensus: The Church As Embodied Organization, Vaughan S. Roberts Dec 1999

A Body Of Consensus: The Church As Embodied Organization, Vaughan S. Roberts

Vaughan S Roberts

This chapter examines how thinking about the nature of embodiment might inform an understanding of how this metaphor is used to describe the Church. It begins by looking at two important metaphorical uses of the body in the New Testament (the Last Supper and the Church as the Body of Christ) and then employs ideas from the writings of Mark Johnson, John O’Neil, Philip A. Mellor and Chris Shilling to see how they could inform theological notions of embodied unity, diversity, contingency and dialectic. It concludes by arguing that the Church is an embodiment of consensus and conflict.

An Examination Of Organizational And Team Commitment In A Self-Directed Team Environment, J W. Bishop, Dow Scott Dec 1999

An Examination Of Organizational And Team Commitment In A Self-Directed Team Environment, J W. Bishop, Dow Scott

Dow Scott

A model hypothesizing differential relationships among predictor variables and individual commitment to the organization and work team was tested. Data from 485 members of sewing teams supported the existence of differential relationships between predictors and organizational and team commitment. In particular, intersender conflict and satisfaction with coworkers were more strongly related to team commitment than to organizational commitment. Resource-related conflict and satisfaction with supervision were more strongly related to organizational commitment than to team commitment. Perceived task interdependence was strongly related to both commitment foci. Contrary to prediction, the relationships between perceived task interdependence and the 2 commitment foci were …


Factors Influencing Employee Beliefs That Pay Is Tied To Performance, M J. Vest, Dow Scott, J M. Vest, S E. Markham Dec 1999

Factors Influencing Employee Beliefs That Pay Is Tied To Performance, M J. Vest, Dow Scott, J M. Vest, S E. Markham

Dow Scott

The unique relationship of perceived pay level equity, perceived appraisal accuracy, merit increase satisfaction, trust in supervisor, and trust in top management to employee beliefs that pay is tied to performance was investigated in a sample of 658 managerial, professional, and clerical employees. Pay level equity, merit increase satisfaction, and trust in top management exhibited a significant unique relationship. Post hoc analysis found appraisal accuracy exhibited a significant unique relationship with belief that pay is tied to performance among employees receiving a lower or higher than expected performance appraisal, but not among employees receiving the expected performance appraisal.


Support, Commitment And Employee Outcomes In A Team Environment, J W. Bishop, Dow Scott, S M. Burroughs Dec 1999

Support, Commitment And Employee Outcomes In A Team Environment, J W. Bishop, Dow Scott, S M. Burroughs

Dow Scott

This field study investigated whether perceived team support and team commitment relate to employee outcomes differently than perceived organizational support and organizational commitment. A LISREL analysis was conducted on data from 380 manufacturing plant employees and 9 supervisors. Job performance was related to team commitment; intention to quit was related to organizational commitment; and organizational citizenship behavior was related to both team and organizational commitment. Commitment mediated the relationships between support and the outcome variables.

West Point Market: Managing A Challenge From The Eeoc, Todd A. Finkle

Todd A Finkle

Russell Vernon, a second-generation owner and manager of West Point Market in Akron, Ohio must decide whether to settle, go to court or reconcile (mutually agreeable solution) with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on an allegation of racial discrimination. He firmly believes that he is innocent. If he chooses to reconcile or settle the case out of court, he could be construed as a racist. If he chooses to go to court and loses, he may lose his family business. This emotionally charged situation is presented as a management decision that must be based on an analysis of the facts. …
