跨国快餐产业采用成组产品战略对于消费者购买意愿影响之研究

本文针对跨国快餐产业中的成组产品进行分析,区分主要产品与次要产品的搭配模式与价格折扣方式,并透过统计分析与假设检定进行实证检验,以了解搭配模式与折扣方式对消费者购买意愿所造成的影响。实证结果显示:主次产品种类的搭配与价格折扣方式对于消费者购买意愿的影响是显著的,并且两个变量之间存在交互作用效果。此结论为垮国快餐产业在中国市场进行营销时采用成组产品战略提供了支持。     

“60前”消费者玩转高科技产品基于反向代际影响调节作用的实证研究

针对1960年以前出生的50岁以上、居住在城市的消费者,研究了不同年龄、教育背景和月收入水平的年长消费者在高科技产品购买意愿方面的差异性,以及决策风格对于高科技产品购买意愿的影响。此外,本文还探讨了年轻一代对于年长消费者的影响,即反向代际影响对于研究人群的决策风格与高科技产品购买意愿之间关系的调节作用。本文通过研究发现不同年龄、教育背景和月收入水平的年长消费者在面对高科技产品时的购买意愿不同。同时,消费者的购物决策风格也会影响到消费者对于高科技产品的购买意愿。此外,反向代际影响对于决策风格和购买意愿之间的关系具有正向调节作用。最后,本文还根据研究结果给出了相应的管理建议。     

绿色产品与广告诉求匹配效应的理论分析与实证检验

绿色产品与广告诉求之间的匹配关系成为当前绿色营销课题中的核心问题。理论分析得出,对于自利型绿色产品,理性诉求对消费者的广告态度和购买意愿的影响更为积极,而对于利他型绿色产品,情感诉求表现的更为积极。实验结果充分证明了两个理论假设。     

消费者的CSR-CA观念及其对CSR与购买意向关系的影响研究

实证研究表明，在企业社会责任（CSR）与企业能力（CA）关系方面，绝大多数消费者持相互促进（Win—Win）观念而不是相互对立（Trade—off）观念。进一步研究显示，同样是持Win—Win观念的消费者，程度不同，对CSR与购买意向关系有不同的影响：持强CSR—CA相互促进观念的消费者与持弱CSR—CA相互促进观念的消费者对CSR水平较高和一般的企业生产的产品的购买意向没有显著差异，但对于CSR水平较低的企业生产的产品，前者的购买意向显著低于后者。     

Examining differences in consumer reactions to partitioned prices with a variable number of price components

Partitioned pricing is a tactic in which a seller presents multiple prices for a single product or service instead of one, all-inclusive price. This research investigates effects of partitioned prices containing a variable number of price components, under varying levels of seller trustworthiness, and with or without the presentation of the total price. The results indicate that partitioning into a large number of price components, relative to a small number of price components, negatively affects perceived fairness and purchase intentions for less trustworthy, but not more trustworthy, sellers when the total price is not presented. However, partitioning into a large number of price components positively affects fairness and purchase intentions, regardless of seller trustworthiness, when the total price is presented. The research also examines effects of partitioning on price estimation and recall.     

Involvement theory in constructing bloggers' intention to purchase travel products

Blogs recently have demonstrated their enormous marketing potential, and more and more travel advertisements are being posted in blogs. In light of this observation, this study aims to provide insights into the structural relationship among travel bloggers' involvement level, the advertising effect from blog messages, and travel bloggers' intention to purchase travel products. A travel blogger's purchase intention model was constructed and empirically tested. A total of 900 questionnaires were distributed to identified travel bloggers; 398 valid responses were returned. The data were examined with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results demonstrated the positive impact resulting from the ad effect as well as the ad effect on purchase intention, which could be verified in travel blog environments. It also indicated that high-involvement travel bloggers are more likely to form favourable impressions with regard to ads in travel blogs. Travel blogs play a positive role in the processing of ad messages; brand management is essential to business marketers since brand attitude is the most influential factor related to the ad effect on purchase intention. Meanwhile, while ad attitude is not significantly effective concerning purchase intention, it remains essential in forming brand attitudes. Several implications for posting advertisements in travel blogs will be discussed and suggested in this paper.     

Public transport and car-sharing—benefits and effects of combined services

The article presents the results of a German research project, where recommendations for the synthesis of public transport and car-sharing/car clubs are given. In order to determine effects and factors of success of combined services, the adoption process, the mobility behaviour and customer satisfaction were investigated within the context of model projects in two German cities. The results prove that car-sharing is suitable as a supplement to public transport.     

Partial carryover of advertising

A model that combines advertising carryover with purchase reinforcement is presented. It accommodates the possibility that certain members of the consumer population rely only on their experience with the product, while others are also affected by past advertising. Empirical results with two product categories indicate that for bimonthly data advertising retention does not exist at all.     

Goodwill or “No-will”: Hubris in the tone at the top

In this study, we examine the effect of hubris in the “tone at the top” on goodwill accounting, specifically the proportion of the purchase price allocated to goodwill following a business combination, and subsequent decisions to write down goodwill. Using a sample of CEO letters to shareholders from firms listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, we carry out textual analysis of CEO letters to identify hubristic language markers. Regression analyses show that hubristic tone is positively and significantly associated with the purchase price allocation to goodwill. Furthermore, we predict that hubristic managers are more likely to overestimate future cash inflows related to goodwill and are less likely to perceive the need for a potential write-down. Consistent with this prediction, we find that hubristic tone in the CEO letters is associated with less timely goodwill write-downs. This study contributes to the literature on goodwill accounting, the role of CEO attributes on corporate decision making, and to research on CEO-speak, by providing evidence that a hubristic tone at the top can explain strategic choices by management and accounting outcomes.     

How virtual reality influences travel intentions: The role of mental imagery and happiness forecasting

Virtual reality can influence consumer behavior in powerful ways, but in the domain of tourism marketing, less is known about the psychological process. One possibility is that VR has stronger impact on mental imagery than traditional channels, creating vivid simulations of what it would be like to visit destinations. This process might create hedonic expectations of future happiness, which should increase the willingness to actually seek out the destination in real life. The results from a laboratory experiment provided support to this hypothesis. Participants were randomly assigned to view a nature destination either in traditional still images or virtual reality, and then reported their initial responses before making an actual consumer choice. VR exposure led to higher levels of mental imagery and happiness predictions, which in turn was associated with stronger travel intentions and purchasing decisions. However, VR effects on consumer choice were moderated by previous experience with the destination.
