Dissertations, Theses and Capstone Projects (Full IR Collection)

The move towards a more knowledge-intensive sales market has increased the complexity of the sales job. Salespeople must continuously learn and grow to meet the evolving demands of the job. A critical concern for organizational leaders becomes identifying learning strategies to encourage salespeople to apply what they learn. Researchers have advanced multiple studies on the learning needs of salespeople, yet there is not a consensus as to the most effective mechanisms to increase learning transfer in the sales environment. To determine which knowledge tools better prepare the sales force for success, this study investigates whether training, mentoring and/or coaching is …


The Franchisor/Franchisee Relationship: The Antecedents And Outcomes Of Perceived Franchisor Support, Mary Kay Rickard Nov 2014

The Franchisor/Franchisee Relationship: The Antecedents And Outcomes Of Perceived Franchisor Support, Mary Kay Rickard

Dissertations, Theses and Capstone Projects (Full IR Collection)

Franchising is an organizational system that provides the franchisor with needed capital for expansion and the franchisee with expertise and knowledge to operate a local outlet (Windenhausen & Joyce 1977). It is, therefore, one of the approaches firms are turning to in order to increase their business. Franchising is more complex than a traditional business relationship because it is legally binding (Bernstein 2004). Moreover, the complexity of this relationship warrants a closer look from the perspective of the franchisee since it is the franchisees’ perception of the work environment which has an effect on their motivation and satisfaction with the …

Everyone Loves A Winner…Or Do They? Introducing Envy Into A Sales Contest To Increase Salesperson Motivation, Alexander Milovic, Rebecca Dingus Nov 2014

Everyone Loves A Winner…Or Do They? Introducing Envy Into A Sales Contest To Increase Salesperson Motivation, Alexander Milovic, Rebecca Dingus

Marketing Faculty Research and Publications

This paper focuses on the role that envy can play in driving sales force behavior in competitions. Envy, an unpleasant emotion that occurs when a person covets something that another has, can be used as a motivating tool to push lower-ranked salespeople to better compete with high achievers. Following a review of envy and sales contest effectiveness, potential strategies are provided for implementing benign envy while avoiding the potential negative consequences of envy. Sales managers must be careful to ensure that envy is induced properly to engage the employees while not negatively affecting the long-term health of the sales force.

How Consumer Characteristics Moderate Time Effects On Online Purchase Preference, Zhen Li, Lin Huang Oct 2014

How Consumer Characteristics Moderate Time Effects On Online Purchase Preference, Zhen Li, Lin Huang

Asia Marketing Journal

In this paper, we posit that time-related effects (i.e., the importance of saving time) on patronage preference for shopping online will be moderated by consumer characteristics. To explore these moderating effects, we empirically examine the moderating roles of consumer characteristics on the respective effects of shopping-time-saved and delivery on online purchase preference. On the basis of analyses performed on data gleaned from an Internet-based survey, this study demonstrate that time effects related to both shopping-time-saved and delivery on online purchase preference are more pronounced for consumers who are male, young, and more starved for time. In addition, the effect of …


To Bid Or Not To Bid?, Yingying Ma, Luping Sun Oct 2014

To Bid Or Not To Bid?, Yingying Ma, Luping Sun

Asia Marketing Journal

The selection of keywords for bidding is a critical component of paid search advertising. When the number of possible keywords is enormous, it becomes difficult to choose the best keywords for advertising and then subsequently to assess their effect. To this end, we propose an ultrahigh dimensional keyword selection approach that not only reduces the dimension for selections, but also generates the top listed keywords for profits. An empirical analysis using a unique panel dataset from a large online clothes retailer that advertises on the largest search engine in China (i.e., Baidu) is presented to illustrate the usefulness of our …


Cultural Tunneling Effect, Seungkook Roh Oct 2014

Cultural Tunneling Effect, Seungkook Roh

Asia Marketing Journal

Many researchers have analyzed the relationship between the financial success patterns of a motion picture and many other factors, such as the production cost, marketing, stars, awards, reviews, genre, and rating. Through these studies, many researchers and investors concluded that big budgets to make a blockbuster movie can serve as an insurance policy to meet their ROI; thus the box office is dominated by blockbuster movies. High-budget blockbuster movies are more likely to receive attention because these movies are more recognizable given their high expenses for production and casting. Therefore, audiences choose blockbusters in an effort to reduce the searching …

Automotive Telematics Market Segmentation Based On Quality Expectations, Dayoung Kim, Donghee Kim, Jungsuk Oh

Asia Marketing Journal

This paper explores the possibility of segmentation of consumers based on their quality expectations toward the automotive telematics service. Hypotheses on utilizing consumers’ expectations toward the automotive telematics service for the market segmentation and linking the segments with optimal product designs are formulated. Samples are segmented based on their perceived service quality to the service attributes from various configurations of automotive telematics service. Then, a regression analysis on the segmented groups of users is performed to check whether they have qualitatively differing evaluation on the service quality. The result indicates that the proposed segmentation is operational and differing product attributes …
