Database marketers often use a scoring model to predict the likely value of contacting customers based on their purchase histories
and demographics. However, when purchase history has been a partial result of the firm’s own contacting efforts, these contacts
should also be accounted for in the scoring model. The current work extends the existing literature to account for the firm’s
contacts by focusing on each customer’s most recent purchase. Contacts prior to that purchase are designated “prior contacts”
and those after that purchase “recent contacts.” A new latent variables formulation of the customer’s propensity to respond
is used to predict the likelihood and time of response as well as the relationship to the independent variables. The methodology
also addresses the statistical problems of “selection bias” and “endogeneity,” which have been largely ignored in most customer
scoring models. An application to the database of a charitable organization confirms that, in this case: (1) the effect of
the firm’s customer contact efforts is associated with a stronger propensity to respond than is the case for the included
demographics; (2) the firm’s “recent contact” efforts are associated with larger returns in customers’ propensity to respond
than the “prior contact” efforts; and (3) the “recent contact” efforts are associated with an at-first increasing but then
diminishing propensity to respond up to a point beyond which actual decreasing returns are observed with further contacts.
Clearly, too much contacting can alienate would-be donors. The proposed model is general enough to calibrate such impacts
in other database marketing applications where the relative effects might be different.

This paper proposes that customers often respond to brand extension concepts by visualizing the product. We call this process
spontaneous visualization and suggest that it precedes concept evaluations. In two studies, we show that spontaneous visualization
is enhanced by the fit between the parent brand and the extension category and by the ease with which the product category
can be imagined. The appeal of the visualized image in turn determines whether visualization enhances or decreases concept
evaluations. In addition, we find a stronger link between product evaluations and delayed choice when evaluations are based
on visualization; evaluations based on visualization hence appear to be more “valid” in the sense of predicting subsequent
behavior. Implications of these findings and ideas for future research are discussed.

Integrating service and design: the influences of organizational and communication factors on relative product and service characteristics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The aim of this study is to identify the organizational and communication antecedents, and evaluate the consequences on relative
product and service characteristics, of the use of service-sourced information by product designers during new product development.
An empirical study of 121 product design managers demonstrates that a firm’s market orientation is improved by a healthy working
relationship between product designers and service employees. Such a relationship motivates designers to use service-sourced
information disseminated to them, enhancing both product and service characteristics of the new offering. The authors discuss
how communication channels and information content affect the information use of product designers. Product designers value
written information most. Information use does not relate to the frequency of receiving verbal or electronic information.
Information about product ergonomics positively influences product designers’ perceptions of the information, whereas information
on product aesthetics negatively influences their perceptions.

This research applies an institutional arrangement perspective to develop an end-to-end model for the interaction between
customers and upstream suppliers to develop a new product to understand how new product value is created and shared. The model
is empirically tested by collecting primary data from 188 manufacturers across different industries. The research demonstrates
that customer participation affects new product value creation by improving the effectiveness of the new product development
process by enhancing information sharing and customer–supplier coordination and by increasing the level of customer and supplier
specific investments in the product development effort. In addition, increasing the formalization of the customer participation
process enhances both customer and supplier relationship-specific investments in the new product development process. The
impact of customer participation on the customer's share of the new product value pie is more complex then is first apparent.
Based on the dependence and equity perspectives the results suggest that exchange partners' power (relative dependence) positively
influences a partner's ability to capture new product value, but this power is offset by a desire of exchange partners to
ensure the distribution of value is “fair” and reflects each party's contribution to the value creation.

How do enhanced and unique features affect new product preference? The moderating role of product familiarity 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Companies often introduce products with enhanced or unique features to compete with the dominant brands in the market. This
paper examines the moderating role of product familiarity in consumer preferences of products with enhanced or unique features
in two experimental studies. Study 1 (208 participants) operationalizes product familiarity at the product category level
and Study 2 (168 participants) measures it at the individual level as one’s prior experience with the product. The findings
of two experiments show that when consumers are unfamiliar with a product category, they prefer a product with enhanced features
to one with unique features. In contrast, when consumers are experienced, they perceive a product with unique features more
favorably than an enhanced one. Furthermore, this effect is due to consumer perceived differentiation of and performance uncertainty
about new products with enhanced or unique features.

Toward a theory of repeat purchase drivers for consumer services 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The marketing discipline’s knowledge about the drivers of service customers’ repeat purchase behavior is highly fragmented.
This research attempts to overcome that fragmented state of knowledge by making major advances toward a theory of repeat purchase
drivers for consumer services. Drawing on means–end theory, the authors develop a hierarchical classification scheme that
organizes repeat purchase drivers into an integrative and comprehensive framework. They then identify drivers on the basis
of 188 face-to-face laddering interviews in two countries (USA and Germany) and assess the drivers’ importance and interrelations
through a national probability sample survey of 618 service customers. In addition to presenting an exhaustive and coherent
set of hierarchical repeat-purchase drivers, the authors provide theoretical explanations for how and why drivers relate to
one another and to repeat purchase behavior. This research also tests the boundary conditions of the proposed framework by
accounting for different service types. In addition to its theoretical contribution, the framework provides companies with
specific information about how to manage long-term customer relationships successfully.

The Malthusian “preventive check” mechanism has been well documented for pre-industrial England through evidence for a negative
correlation between the marriage rate and the price of wheat. Other literature, however, speculates that the correlation was
in fact positive from the early nineteenth century. This paper uses the cointegrated VAR model and recursive estimation techniques
to document the changing relationship between nuptiality and the price of wheat from 1541 to 1965. The relationship is indeed
positive from the early nineteenth century to the First World War. A simple theoretical model shows that this result is not
in fact inconsistent with a stylised Malthusian mechanism, and can be understood within the context of an increasing dominance
of shocks to aggregate demand rather than to aggregate supply.

Prior empirical research suggests that consumers perceive pioneers as more prototypical (i.e., representative) of their product
categories than me-too followers. This prototypicality advantage is believed to contribute to an enduring marketplace advantage
for the pioneer. We extend research into pioneering prototypicality advantages by considering the ramifications of simultaneous
product design (i.e., product attribute) evolutions. We hypothesize that the simultaneous evolution of product designs of
both the pioneer and me-too will diminish the pioneer’s prototypicality advantage over the me-too, even though the me-too
does not initiate the change. To test our hypotheses, we create an experimental environment consisting of four cells, each
corresponding to a different marketplace scenario: a no-change condition; a simultaneous-evolution condition; a pioneer-updates-first
condition; and a leapfrogging (i.e., me-too updates first) condition. The results suggest that simultaneous design evolutions
can diminish the pioneer’s prototypicality advantage. As a result, me-too entry may be a more attractive strategy in the long-run
than currently believed in product categories characterized by substantial design evolution.

In the last decade, companies have developed a large number of intelligent products. Due to the use of information technology,
these products operate somewhat autonomously, cooperate with other products, or adapt to changing circumstances. Based on
a literature review and interviews with practitioners, the present article conceptualizes product intelligence and describes
a procedure to measure the construct. The article also explores the link of product intelligence to consumer satisfaction
through the innovation attributes of relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity. The article considers practical and
theoretical implications and identifies future research directions.

Weathering product-harm crises 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

To counter the negative effects of a product-harm crisis, brands hope to capitalize on their equity, and often use advertising
as a communication device to regain customers’ lost trust. We study how consumer characteristics and advertising influence
consumers’ first-purchase decisions for two affected brands of peanut butter following a severe Australian product-harm crisis.
Both pre-crisis loyalty and familiarity are found to form an important buffer against the product-harm crisis, although this
resilience decreases over time. Also heavy users tend to purchase the affected brands sooner, unless their usage rate decreased
significantly during the crisis. Brand advertising was found to be effective for the stronger brand, but not for the weaker
brand.

Low-price guarantees (LPG) signal the market position of a seller’s offer price and promise to compensate consumers in case
that information is erroneous. In this research, we demonstrate that when retailers default on the information provided by
an LPG, consumer perceptions of the retailer suffer, but the extent of the damage depends on the conditions associated with
the default. On the basis of attribution theory, we posit that consumers may attribute default to the retailer’s opportunism
but emphasize this attribution differently in various default conditions. Furthermore, we show that the restoration of consumer
perceptions after a refund depends on consumers’ focus in terms of the signal itself. If they consider the protective, compensatory
function of a low price signal, their post-refund outcomes are more favorable; when they focus on the informational function,
these outcomes are less favorable. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

To market important products to families successfully, salespeople must understand how couples behave in concert to resolve
conflict across major decisions. The authors develop a model of spousal fairness and test it with a study of multi-period
family purchase decision making. The results show that a spousal sense of fairness serves as a mechanism for contemporary
couples to harmonize conflict over time in family decisions. Specifically, spouses’ perceived fairness mediates the relationship
between spousal prior influence and spousal decision behavior in subsequent decisions. Spouses also consider their partner’s
perceptions of fairness when taking action to restore fairness. Moreover, the effects of perceived fairness are moderated
by spousal traits of empathy, egalitarianism, and empowerment in a gendered pattern.

Standard economic indicators suggest that the USA experienced long-run economic growth throughout the nineteenth century.
However, biological indicators, including human stature, offer a different picture, rising early in the century, falling (on
average) mid-century, and rising again at the end of the century. This pattern varied across geographical regions. Using a
unique data set, consisting of mean adult stature by state, we test for convergence in stature among states in the nineteenth
century. We find that during the period of declining mean stature (1820–1870), heights actually diverged. Later in the century
(1870–1890) we find a type of “negative” convergence indicating that stature among states tended to converge to a new, lower
steady state. Only towards the end of the century (1880–1900) do we find classic convergence behavior. We argue that the diversity
of economic experiences across regions, including urbanization, industrialization, and transportation improvements, explain
this pattern of divergence and then convergence.

In two studies, the authors examine three targets of commitment in service provider–consumer relationships and their effects
on customer loyalty. The results indicate that service consumers distinguish between commitment to a service company, commitment
to an individual in the role of service employee, and commitment to an individual outside of the role of service employee
(e.g., a personal commitment such as a friendship). In addition, these three targets of commitment are hierarchically related
and have differential effects on various customer responses. The results have implications for both customer relationship
managers and researchers studying such relationships.

Most research in the field of customer relationship management has focused on keeping existing customers. However, some companies
also systematically address lost customers and try to revive these relationships. This facet of customer relationship management
has been largely neglected by academic research. Our study provides a theoretical discussion and an empirical analysis of
factors driving the success of relationship revival activities. Drawing on equity theory, we find that the customer’s perceived
interactional, procedural, and distributive justice with respect to revival activities positively affect his or her revival-specific
satisfaction which in turn, has a strong impact on revival performance. Furthermore, revival performance depends on customer
characteristics (variety seeking, involvement, age), and the overall customer satisfaction with the relationship.

Empirical studies provide an inconsistent picture of the relationship between an innovative personality predisposition (i.e.,
innate consumer innovativeness [ICI]) and innovative behavior (i.e., new product adoption behavior). Such inconsistencies
suggest intervening variables that may mediate the relationship have not been considered. Using data from a panel of consumers
(n = 296 in a cross-sectional phase, n = 147 in a matched, two-phase longitudinal analysis), we find that ICI does not directly influence adoption behavior but
does so indirectly through two of three components of vicarious innovativeness (modeling and engagement in word of mouth but
not exposure to advertising). Furthermore, despite the evidence that consumers’ decision processes differ for service versus
product adoption, extant studies largely ignore the role of ICI in new service adoption. Our findings suggest that vicarious
innovativeness plays a similar intervening role in service contexts. Finally, divergent operationalizations of adoption behavior
(ownership, relative time of adoption) appear to perform equally well.

Although various manufacturing companies have developed into total solution providers, no research addresses their service
orientations. Building on the literature on organizational service climate, this study explores the organizational parameters
and service business orientations that explain relative product sales and service volume of manufacturing companies. Following
an exploratory study involving in-depth interviews, the authors conducted an empirical survey of 137 companies in The Netherlands,
Belgium, and Denmark. The study assesses the effects of organizational parameters on the implementation of service business
orientations and validates the important distinction between services in support of the client’s actions (SSC) and services
in the support of the product (SSP). The findings demonstrate that services in support of the client’s action leverage relative
product sales, while services in support of the product generate service volume. In addition to the main effects, the moderating
effects of the organizational parameters are discussed.

Researchers have typically studied the relationship between technology alliances and market value from a direct tie or dyadic
perspective. Yet any given technology alliance is typically embedded in a network of indirect ties created by the alliance
partners’ relationships with other firms. We argue that whether an indirect tie enhances or detracts from the market value
a firm creates in a technology alliance depends upon factors related to inter-firm competencies at both an alliance- and partner-level
of analysis. Empirical analysis of abnormal stock returns reveals support for the hypothesized contingent relationship between
indirect ties and value creation within technology alliances. Theoretically, the paper clarifies opposing perspectives in
the literature regarding the performance implications of indirect ties and identifies market value as a hitherto unrecognized
effect associated with this type of tie. Managerially, the findings improve marketers’ ability to leverage the complex interactions
that occur between technology alliances in a value-creating manner.

The Italian fiscal history is characterised by a number of fiscal consolidations. In this study, we characterise fiscal policy
in terms of non-linear deterministic processes. We find that government spending and taxes can be described as being non-linear
trend stationary processes instead of unit roots. A long run equilibrium relationship—a non-linear co-trend—does exist between
the two series, fulfilling the intertemporal government budget constraint. We interpret this result as evidence of a long
run fiscal rule that different policy makers have adopted, putting public finance in balance.

The chain from customer satisfaction via word-of-mouth referrals to new customer acquisition 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
It has often been argued that word-of-mouth (WOM) can contribute significantly to a firm’s success in a variety of ways. Here,
we analyze the functional linkage between customer satisfaction, WOM, and new customer acquisition. Using data from two empirical
studies we conceptualize and test the direct, non-linear, and moderated relationship between satisfaction and WOM. We further
explore the circumstances under which WOM leads to new customer acquisition using a logistic regression model. We do so for
two groups (new customers and long-term customers) from the customer base of a large energy provider (n = 688), and for a random sample of B2B customers (n = 416) in the same market. Results indicate that the satisfaction-WOM link is non-linear and is moderated by several customer
involvement dimensions. Based on our results, we demonstrate how the satisfaction-WOM-new customer acquisition link can enrich
return on quality and satisfaction models. Further, we draw conclusions about how companies can make use of both the satisfaction-WOM
and the WOM-new customer acquisition link for better allocating their marketing resources.
