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.

We evaluate explanations for why Germany grew so quickly in the 1950s. The recent literature has emphasized convergence, structural
change and institutional shake-up while minimizing the importance of the postwar shock. We show that this shock and its consequences
were more important than neoclassical convergence and structural change in explaining the rapid growth of the West German
economy in the 1950s. We find little support for the hypothesis of institutional shakeup. This suggests a different interpretation
of post-World War II German economic growth than features in much of the literature.

In an effort to understand the determinants of economic growth in an emerging economy, we analyze the effects of institutional
reforms, wars and political events on the risk level of the Israeli stock market between 1945 and 1960. We find that the anticipation
of wars did not have any effect but the end of skirmishes actually raised the risk on the stock market. Domestic political
instability also increased the stock market risk. Finally we find that most legal reforms did not matter much.

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 wealth of male decedents using census-linked probate records from 1892 and 1902 is examined for evidence on saving motives.
This data presents an opportunity to examine wealth holding and saving motives in an environment devoid of many of the features
that can affect modern retirement, consumption and saving decisions. Evidence is found supporting the existence of a strategic
bequest motive. This result occurs after controlling for the possibility of the demand for children rising with the level
of wealth as well as the potential contribution to wealth accumulation that children made in agricultural economies. These
results also suggest that while the presence of a bequest motive was real and significant, its ultimate contribution to wealth
accumulation was relatively modest when compared to the impact of variables such as occupational status and literacy. Moreover,
there appears to be some evidence supporting a transition in saving motives away from bequest saving and towards greater life
cycle saving.

Saxony was one of the pioneer regions in the German modern economic growth. We analyze the Saxon nutritional status to infer
the effects of early industrialization on the population standard of living. We find that the nutritional status in the eighteenth
century was relatively high and heights fluctuated mainly because of wars. From the 1770s the average nutritional status declined
steadily, with the exception of the Napoleonic period, until the mid of the nineteenth century. The decline, particularly
accentuated after 1815, is related to the high share of urbanization, the increase in the relative price of food, and the
strong dependence on food imports.

Despite substantial benefits of an effective complaint management for companies, there is ample evidence that many firms do
not handle customer complaints appropriately. This paper aims at providing a theoretical explanation for this surprising phenomenon.
Drawing on psychological and organizational theory, the authors introduce the concept of defensive organizational behavior
towards customer complaints as well as provide a rich conceptualization and operationalization of this phenomenon. Moreover,
in an empirical study, they systematically analyze how defensive organizational behavior towards customer complaints is driven
by organizational antecedents and, based on a dyadic data set, how it affects customer post-complaint reactions.

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.

This paper examines a tendency within existing marketing scholarship to compartmentalize ethical issues. It also shows how
this tendency can cause ethical tensions and conflicts in marketing practice. The emerging service-dominant (S-D) logic for
marketing, as proposed by Vargo and Lusch, is explored as an example of an approach to marketing that overcomes this tendency.
The S-D logic is found to be a positive development for marketing ethics because it facilitates the seamless integration of
ethical accountability into marketing decision-making. Specific recommendations are made for improving the ethical climate
in marketing using marketing performance measurement theory and practice.

Nearly every previous study of the 1893 bank panic acknowledges its regional concentration in the Western states yet few provide
any in-depth study of what caused such a distinct regional pattern. Here, I recast the 1893 crisis as having its origins in
agricultural markets and then spreading to Western banks that were highly exposed to agricultural shocks. Negative shocks
to agricultural yields and the relative importance of the wheat crop for specific states emerge as important explanations
for the regional pattern of bank closures and thus for the panic itself.

The practice of introducing new technologies into the corporate environment has become a well-accepted principle for sustaining
or advancing competitive advantages. The current study focuses on the environmental and managerial factors associated with
the successful utilization of new technologies. To this end, the suggested framework examines the efforts put forth by the
two parties involved (the firm buying and the firm supplying the new technology). We use 112 matched data collected from the
suppliers and buyers of the customer relationship management (CRM) system in business-to-business markets. We find that the
perceived turbulence of business environments stimulates adaptive efforts from both the supplying and buying firms, which
may lead to a high level of utilization of new technologies for the buying firm.

This paper investigates how financial market participants reacted to the US annexation of Hawaii in 1898 as well as prior
events like the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893 and US tariff moves affecting Hawaii's sugar industry. The empirical work
covers the trading of the Kingdom of Hawaii's major 1886 loan in both London and Honolulu as well as sugar company stock price
reactions to annexation. The economic implications of US tariff policy moves, and the unfettered US market access promised
by annexation, may well explain the continued uptrend in debt prices after the overthrow.

In this paper we employ microeconomic evidence on the unemployment experiences of American males to evaluate the sensitivity
of unemployment to business cycle fluctuations in the late nineteenth century as compared to the mid-twentieth century. Our
results indicate a substantial decline in the value of the Okun coefficient (from −0.65 to −0.32) between the 1890s and the
1960s. These findings challenge Christina Romer’s interpretation that the measured decline in cyclical volatility of unemployment
over the twentieth century was created by improvements in the statistical record. Rather, it was changes in the underlying
dynamics of the labor market over the cycle, most notably the transition to procyclical productivity patterns and the shift
from an added to a discouraged worker effect among secondary workers, which may be summarized as the development of modern
labor market behavior, that account for the declining cyclical sensitivity of employment and the drop in the cyclical volatility
of unemployment over the century.

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.

We explore superstitious beliefs as a basis of product performance expectations and their impact on initial purchase likelihood
and subsequent satisfaction. In doing so, we demonstrate instances when superstition-driven expectations cause consumers to
make purchase decisions that run counter to economic rationality. In the first set of studies we find that Taiwanese consumers
are relatively more likely to purchase a product with positive superstitious associations based on its “lucky” color, and
are more likely to purchase and are willing to pay more money for a product with a smaller but “lucky” number of units contained
in the package (e.g., eight tennis balls compared to ten). In contrast, consumers who do not hold such superstitious beliefs
adhere to the more rational choice paradigm. Next, we show that the differences in purchase likelihood are driven by superstition-based
performance expectations. We further generalize these findings to product satisfaction, and find support for expectation disconfirmation
sensitivity as a moderator of the effect.

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.

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.

The authors extend sales management theory by considering the role of export sales management in small- and medium-sized firms,
and they develop an integrated model of export sales organization effectiveness. Specifically, the authors test 16 hypotheses
that examine the relationships among export sales management control, export territory, psychic distance, export sales performance,
and export sales organization effectiveness. Using a mail-survey approach, data were collected from U.K.-based export sales
managers in 146 direct exporters of industrial products. Though certain anomalies are observed, the research findings support
many of the hypothesized associations, confirming the robustness of existing sales management concepts and theories in an
export-marketing context.

This study uncovers the ignored role of institutional environment for marketing strategy and customer relationship management.
Hypothesis tests in a sample of Chinese firms find support that channel networking strengthens the customer orientation–customer
trust/commitment–firm performance (CTP) causal chain. In addition, the results show that government networking moderates this
chain in a non-linear fashion. The CTP linkages are most salient when the firm develops a moderate level, rather than a high
or low level of networking ties with government agencies.
