This paper examines the characteristics attributed to the success of digital cameras by studying both the demand and the supply
sides of the digital-camera market. A discrete choice model is employed to investigate consumer preferences over digital camera
characteristics during the period 1996–1998. The empirical findings reveal that Sony’s ‘Easy-to-Use’ storage system contributes
significantly to Sony’s demand advantage and profitability. Also, the welfare analysis demonstrates that ‘Easy-to-Use’ attributes
significantly contribute to social welfare improvement.

In this paper, we consider third-degree price discrimination in two markets in the presence of asymmetric consumption externalities;
we establish that under plausible conditions, a firm reduces its price in the market with low price elasticity of demand.
The firm can increase its profits by reducing the price for these consumers and enlarging the demand for other consumers,
provided that positive consumption externalities exist. Moreover, we show that third-degree price discrimination enhances
not only the firm’s profit but also total consumer surplus.

In this article, we study how multiunit service businesses locate their units, choosing between two opposite spatial strategies.
Whereas, locating one’s units close to competitors’ brings positive agglomeration externalities, locating one’s units far
away from others’ allows local monopolies through spatial differentiation. We examine location strategies of the two biggest
hamburger restaurant chains—namely McDonald’s and Quick—in Paris between 1984 and 2004. Results show that competitive standings
impact locational strategy choices. The market leader favors spatial differentiation, thus preempting premium locations. Conversely,
the challenger favors locations close to the leader, thus aiming at agglomeration externalities.

This paper investigates whether small businesses face financial constraints that affect their survival. A model of moral hazard
is developed in which financial constraints arise endogenously. The model predicts that higher private assets relax financial
constraints and have a positive effect on the firm’s probability of survival. The empirical analysis confirms that the entrepreneur
has a higher propensity to stay in business when she inherits capital. This effect is particularly strong for entrepreneurs
who switch from self-employment into wage employment.

This study examines the notion of ‹spirituality’ as a dimension of human self, and its relevance and role in management. Major
thesis of this research is that spirituality of employees is reflected in work climate. This may in turn affect the employees’
service to the customers. In the first part of the study a Spiritual Climate Inventory is developed and validated with the
data from manufacturing and service sector employees. In the later part, hypothesis of positive impact of spiritual climate
on customers’ experience of employees’ service is examined and found to be substantiated empirically.

A model of the effect of affect on economic decision making 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The standard economic model of decision making assumes a decision maker’s current emotional state has no impact on his or her decisions. Yet there is a large psychological literature that shows that current
emotional state, in particular mild positive affect, has a significant effect on decision making, problem solving, and behavior. This paper offers a way to incorporate this
insight from psychology into economic modelling. Moreover, this paper shows that this simple insight can parsimoniously explain
a wide variety of behaviors.

Innovation in SMEs exhibits some peculiar features that most traditional indicators of innovation activity do not capture.
Therefore, in this paper, we develop a structural model of innovation that incorporates information on innovation success
from firm surveys along with the usual R&D expenditures and productivity measures. We then apply the model to data on Italian
SMEs from the “Survey on Manufacturing Firms” conducted by Mediocredito-Capitalia covering the period 1995–2003. The model
is estimated in steps, following the logic of firms’ decisions and outcomes. We find that international competition fosters
R&D intensity, especially for high-tech firms. Firm size and R&D intensity, along with investment in equipment, enhances the
likelihood of having both process and product innovation. Both these kinds of innovation have a positive impact on firm’s
productivity, especially process innovation. Among SMEs, larger and older firms seem to be less productive.

Criminal law is perhaps society’s strongest technique of formal censure. By labelling an activity as “criminal” we attach
to it a special stigma. Despite this, the United Kingdom (UK) has a long history of criminalising conduct that lacks the seriousness
we might expect that label to involve. One area where criminal sanctions have been commonly used in the UK is consumer protection.
This article argues that it is time to reconsider the role of criminal law in consumer protection and considers how alternative
regimes may better-protect the consumer from business wrongdoing.

It has been proposed conceptually that viewers respond to certain advertisements via Empathetic Responses; that is, by feeling with depicted characters. Such deep viewer engagement is especially valued in today’s media environment and is central to dramatic
advertising strategies. Nevertheless, Empathetic Responses remain relatively understudied. We situate Empathetic Responses
within a model comprising high-level personality domains (within the “Big Five”), lower-level personality facets (multidimensional
Trait Empathy), and Perceived Ad Vividness, all as antecedents, as well as consequent Ad-Evoked Feelings. Our findings clarify
the composition and function of Empathetic Responses, adding to both basic and applied understandings.

The purpose of this article is to empirically assess the relationship existing between local financial development and the
growth of firms, with a special focus on cooperatives. Using Italian data, a multiplicative interaction model is specified,
so as to allow the impact of local banking development to differ between cooperative and non-cooperative firms. The main finding
is that although local banking development represents a determinant of firms’ growth, regardless of their legal structure,
it plays a special role in boosting the growth of cooperatives. This result provides evidence in favor to the existence of
an institutional complementarity relationship between the development of local banking institutions and cooperative firms.

The study investigates how an organization’s entrepreneurial orientation moderates the interplay between market orientation
and marketing subunit influence on firm performance. The hypothesized model predicts that the positive interaction between
market orientation and marketing subunit influence has a weaker effect on firm performance under conditions of high entrepreneurial
orientation. The regression and supplementary analyses provide support for most predictions and, most importantly, for a negative
three-way interaction effect: At higher levels of entrepreneurial orientation, the positive moderating effect of marketing
subunit influence on the market orientation–business performance relationship is reduced. The authors discuss the managerial
and theoretical implications of their findings and provide a number of directions for further research.

This article investigates the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) on business transformation. First,
the general, ICT-driven development lines of globalization and service-orientation are described. Then, an analysis of the
IBM Corporation’s transformation over the past 50 years into a globally integrated, service-oriented company illustrates that
ICT innovations must be dealt with by simultaneous adaptation of business model, organization and corporate culture. For many
companies the ability to manage this change becomes increasingly critical.

Entrepreneurship in post-socialist economies: A typology and institutional contexts for market entrepreneurship 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Nir Kshetri 《Journal of International Entrepreneurship》2009,7(3):236-259
There is growing recognition among post-socialist (PS) economies that free-market entrepreneurship is essential for ultimately
improving their economic future. The promotion of market entrepreneurship, however, has been a challenging experience for
these economies. This paper examines various forms of entrepreneurship in PS economies. Drawing upon the institutional theory,
we also highlight the clear contexts and attendant mechanisms associated with institutions–entrepreneurship nexus in PS economies’
contexts.

Knowledge spillovers and new ventures’ export orientation 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
We draw on the knowledge spillover literature to suggest that a country’s proportion of export-oriented new ventures represents
an outcome of knowledge spillovers that stem from foreign direct investment (FDI) and international trade (export spillovers)
as well as a source of knowledge spillovers (entrepreneurship spillovers). To test the hypotheses, we use macrolevel data
from 34 countries during the period 2002–2005. We find that the relationship between FDI and international trade on the one
hand and a country’s proportion of export-oriented new ventures on the other differs for higher- and lower-income countries.
In addition, a country’s proportion of export-oriented new ventures affects the subsequent emergence of new businesses.

This article investigates the role of Science Parks (SPs) as seedbeds of innovation. It aims to verify if and to what extent
firms’ innovative performance is affected by relocating inside a SP. The analysis is structured in the form of a duration
model that holds patenting as a repeated and event-dependent phenomenon and accounts for the persistence of innovative activities
and the cumulativeness of knowledge. Estimates are based on a conditional risk-set model. The study relies on an original
database regarding Finnish SPs: 252 firms that in the year 2002 were located in the Parks and the firms’ lifetime patenting
activity, over a 33-year-period. We find support for the existence of spillovers and for the positive role of incubators over
those firms joining SPs when very young.

This paper provides a positive theory of private labels in new product development when a non-integrated distribution channel
is faced with demand uncertainty. We consider a regular marketing environment in which a manufacturer endowed with a branded
product seeks to design a new product to resolve its retailer’s mis-targeting problem and to optimally screen consumers. Assuming
that only linear pricing schemes are available and that the retailer learns the state of demand earlier than the manufacturer
does, we show that the presence of a private label always improves channel efficiency. Moreover, a private label is more likely
to prevail when the existing branded product is a premium item.

We investigate the relationship between free-standing insert advertising style and coupon redemption. Results from two experiments
indicate that the propensity to clip a coupon can be enhanced by matching ad tone (emotional vs rational) to the nature of
a consumer’s primary motivation with respect to coupon usage. Moreover, this result appears to hold for consumers with both
procoupon and anticoupon inclinations.

Firms can approach advertising competition either by setting advertising budgets (as in the percentage of sales method) or
target sales levels (as in the objective and task approach). We study firms’ incentives to adopt one or the other posture
using a two-stage model of duopolistic competition. In the first stage, each firm chooses to commit either to an advertising
budget, letting its sales follow from the market response function, or to a desired sales level, promising to adjust its advertising
spending accordingly. In the second stage, firms choose the actual levels of their advertising budget or sales target. When
prices are exogenous, we show that, due to strategic effects, if a firm benefits from its rival’s advertising (as when advertising
increases awareness of the product category) then setting an advertising budget dominates setting a sales target. On the other
hand, if a firm is harmed by its rival’s advertising (as when advertising increases the firm’s share of a fixed market), then
committing to a sales level dominates. We extend these results in several directions and show that when firms engage in price
competition as well as advertising the nature of advertising and product-market competition interact to determine whether
setting an advertising budget or sales target dominates.

In only ten years, Google has achieved remarkable success from online search-based advertising. Its search engine is dominant,
and its IT infrastructure is the most powerful computing system in the world running on over one million computers and serving
more than one billion users globally. Google makes money by using its search engine to deliver online advertising alongside
responses to user searches for information, goods, maps, directions, and a host of other services. Its capabilities make it
likely to become the world’s first information utility – a concept similar to electric utilities that provide services to
many corporations and individuals alike. Constant innovation is the key to Google’s success and offers lessons for other companies:
hire talented people, have them work in small teams, and give them freedom to excel, but use a rigorous data-based approach
to evaluating results and making course adjustments.
