A Cross-National Investigation Into The Marketing Department's Influence Within The Firm: Toward Initial Empirical Generalizations, Peter C. Verhoef, Peter S. H. Leeflang, Jochen Reiner, Martin Natter, William Baker, Amir Grinstein, Anders Gustafsson, Pamela Morrison, John Saunders

Department of Marketing

This study of the influence of the marketing department (MD), as well as its relationship with firm performance, includes seven industrialized countries and aims to generalize the conceptual model presented by Verhoef and Leeflang (2009). This investigation considers the antecedents of perceived MD influence, top management respect for the MD, and MD decision influence, as well as the relationships of these three influence variables with market orientation (MO) and business performance (BP). Meta-analytic procedures reveal initial empirical generalizations: Accountability, MD innovativeness, and the customer connection capabilities of the MD relate consistently to all three studied MD influence measures. The generalization …

Perspectives@SMU

Steve Jobs can teach us a thing or two about customer loyalty. Though Apple products have sometimes fallen short of expectations, Apple customers think nothing of standing in line for hours just to get their hands on the company's latest. According to Valarie Zeithaml, a David S Van Pelt Family distinguished professor of marketing at the University of North Carolina, recent financials show that Apple is achieving US$4,406 per annum sales per square foot – far higher than brands such as the US$3,000 per annum sales per square foot of premier global jeweller Tiffany and US$1,700 per annum sales per …

Growing Singapore's Funny Bone: Laughing In The Face Of Dangers, Pitfalls And Politicians, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Is Singapore the funniest country in the world? Yes, according to Mr. Brown, perhaps the country's most prolific satirist, and (un)officially, the 'Emeritus Senior Blogfather of Singapore'. Despite several run-ins with censors and authorities, the self-professed 'social media junkie' believes he has an important national duty to inform and entertain. Speaking to an amused crowd at a Wee Kim Wee Lunchtime Talk, Mr. Brown talked about his humble beginnings and where he finds inspiration for his brand of comedy.

Inspiring Change: The Roles Of Women And Their Communities, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Change never seems to come fast enough for the hungry and oppressed, yet 'change', when hurried, is often shallow and fraught with casualties. So rather than indulging in fantasies of revolutionary and sweeping social upheavals, two luminary speakers at the Wee Kim Wee Centre’s second 'Women in the Community' conference argue the virtues of patience and persistence. Through anecdotes of their personal struggles in a 'white man's world', author RJ Rozan and political activist Wu Qing present a case for 'change' that is both sustained and sustaining.

Executive Summary, Cumberland County Foodshed Assessment, Report 1, Barbara Ives

Local Food Systems

Like everyone else in these troubled economic times, Mainers are looking for ways to create jobs that will remain relevant and vital in a global economy, that cannot be outsourced, and that will regenerate rather than exploit our natural resources.

A growing number of people believe that a food system rooted in local farms, fisheries, and food production and distribution enterprises can strengthen Maine’s economy and its communities’ health, thereby increasing revenue and decreasing an expense that is crippling government agencies and individuals alike – healthcare. Business people who want to make a living related to food, and public and …
