Students may or may not realize that personal selling is a part of daily life. Although prevalent, the area of sales has often been viewed as a tool used to coerce people into buying things they do not need. Students in particular have a negative perception of a career in sales. Thus, while research shows that the majority of undergraduate business students will be in sales at some point, many are averse to personal selling as a career. A study was conducted to explore the impact of participation in a Personal Selling Experiential Learning (ExL) course on student perceptions of a career in sales. Findings show that while an ExL course in sales does not necessarily change aversion to sales (attitude and intention), it positively impacts the factors affecting aversion (knowledge, confidence, and perceptions). Further exploration should consider using a more diverse sample for comparisons across majors, exploration of the impact of multiple sales courses, and assessment of the long-term effects of ExL sales courses.

A brand orientation is a strategic platform whereby the processes of an organization revolve around the creation, development and protection of brand identity with the aim of achieving long term competitive advantages (Urde, 1999). Despite the potentially critical role of a brand orientation in terms of business performance, research in this area is still relatively new, leaving significant unanswered questions. First, it is not clear where a brand orientation fits in terms of marketing philosophy. Second, research regarding the antecedents of a brand orientation has tended to focus on one or two outcomes rather than developing a more comprehensive model. Based on a review of the literature, this paper (1) conceptualizes how a brand orientation fits within contemporary marketing strategy and (2) identifies a series of potential antecedents. Managerial and research implications are discussed.
This paper makes two unique contributions to the existing literature. First, it presents a graphic conceptualization of where a brand orientation fits within contemporary marketing strategy. Second, based on extensive consideration of the literature, eight potential antecedents of a brand orientation are identified. These include the size of the company, brand barriers, services component, exploration of brand identity, brand research, years of planning and investment, expansion growth intention and brand management assessment.

Brand orientation is a deliberate approach to brand building where brand equity is created through interaction between internal and external stakeholders. This approach is characterised by brands being the hub around which the organisation’s processes revolve, an approach in which brand management is perceived as a core competence and where brand building is intimately associated with business development and financial performance.

An organization can never only be brand-oriented. There have to be products that are demanded and that work together with your brand. To be brand-oriented is market orientation "plus".

The aim of this paper is to develop and confirm a multi-item measurement scale for consumption related values development through teenagers’ involvement in Reality Television (RTV). Understanding consumption related values through RTV involvement of teenagers in their consumption behavior is important for further theory building in the consumer behavior field. Various researchers have proposed desire towards products, prohibited product consumption, materialism and anti-social behaviour as the domain items for teenagers’ consumption related values. Using a multi-step process, this research refined and adapted an eight item measurement scale for developing country teenagers’ consumption related values. These were then tested and confirmed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses techniques.

Much has been written about the importance of fashion from a female perspective. Apeagyei (2011) indicates that research on males and fashion has been very limited in academic literature. Otnes and McGrath (2001, p. 112) state, “Put simply, men are all but absent in studies of shopping behavior.” The purpose of this study is to help fill this gap. In a survey of 95 Gen Y male shoppers it was found that there are a large percentage of males who do care about their appearance and place a high level of importance on fashion clothing

Past research suggests cultural values play an important role in consumer behavior. Of the studies in this domain, many have taken an etic view to understanding this relationship. An etic view emphasizes differences between cultural groups that, although informative at a cross-cultural level, do not address possible individual differences in a behavior within a culture. Conversely, an emic view considers the possible differences in behaviors of individuals within a cultural group. Taking an emic view, the present study defines culture in terms of familism, a Hispanic core cultural value. Using two large and independent samples of U.S. Hispanics, the study takes a latent variable model approach to examine the relationship between familism and brand-related behaviors. Results suggest sound psychometric properties of responses to the familism scale used, that the measured construct varies among individuals, and that familism is predictive of Hispanic consumer behaviors. Branding and targeting implications are suggested.

H1: There will be no significant relationship between familism and brand switching.
H2: Higher levels of familism will be positively and significantly related to higherlevels of prestige sensitivity.
H3: There will be significant and negative relationship between familism and coupon proneness.
H4: There will be a significant and negative relationship between familism and sale proneness.

The marketing of consumer services is continuously evolving, with the proliferation of the internet and social media, relationship marketing has been thrust into the spotlight. With the age of technology and the ease of data collection has come the ability for a firm to be proactive in motivating and servicing consumer relationships. There is a growing emphasis focuses on fostering long-term relationships with consumers (Payne, 1995). Relationship marketing has been said to increase customer loyalty, resulting in increased income to the firm. Authors have written glowing reviews of how relationship marketing provides companies with opportunities for long-term growth, leading firms to believe that it is necessary to build a strong relationship with each and every consumer (e.g. Peppers & Rogers 1998; Steinberg 1999).

Previous research rooted in phenotypicality bias has investigated consumer attitudes derived from observing ethnic models’ differential skin tones in advertising. In previous research the roles of situational valence and shared physical traits between the ethnic models and ethnic consumers have largely been ignored. This research was developed to first understand consumer preferences for ethnic models (operationalized as Black) representing in positively/negatively positioned brand personalities. Results indicate both White and Black respondents express preferences that would be deemed stereotypical, where more (less) Afrocentric models are preferred as representative of negatively (positively) positioned brand personalities. White respondents’ reported preferences significantly more extreme than Blacks in both situations. Secondarily, this research uses ethnic consumers’ self-reported Afrocentrism to understand preference deviations of Black consumer subgroups versus White consumers. On a subgroup level, some ethnic subgroups report preferences that are markedly more moderate and counterstereotypical, indicating a potential for marketers to be more liberal in the variety of ethnic models selected to represent brands.

H1: Compared to Black consumers, White consumers presented a negatively (positively) positioned brand personality, will report stronger (weaker) preferences for Black models that possess more phenotypic traits.

H2: Compared to Black consumers self-reporting possession of fewer (more) phenotypic traits, White consumers presented negatively (positively) positioned brand personalities will report stronger preferences for Black models possessing more (fewer) phenotypic traits.

What makes a business-to-business relationship successful? Current literature presents different factors associated with the quality of relationships between customers and suppliers. This research investigates the suppliers’ perspectives of inter-organizational cultural and process differences and their impact on relationship quality between organizations. Findings from a cross sectional study using 294 service personnel working at the customers’ locations suggest that differences in organizational culture and process control standards negatively influence the quality of relationship in customer-supplier dyads. This research extends the scope of the current literature in inter-organizational relationships from merely looking at the characteristics of organizations to understanding how the differences in these characteristics between organizations affect the relationship quality. For practitioners, the findings from this research emphasize the need to consider cultural and process control differences in selecting business partners, forming joint work groups, and training managers and employees to mitigate the differences and develop quality relationships with suppliers/customers.

This article examines whether individuals achieve greater interpersonal influence in peer groups, particularly related to purchasing, when they have greater social self confidence. Literature in this area has only considered the negative effects of low social self confidence on interpersonal influence, neglecting potential positive effects of positive self confidence. In our first study we survey a general US sample and find that greater perceived interpersonal influence is felt by those with greater social self confidence. In our second study we demonstrate through a field experiment that those with greater social self confidence influence the actual purchase decisions of their peers to a much greater extent than those with less social self confidence. The results demonstrate that greater levels of social self confidence lead a person to act as a de-facto leader, with peers following their purchasing behaviour as a consequence of the influence they exert. Keywords: self confidence, self efficacy, influence, perception, experiment

The purpose of this study is to provide primary research regarding the actual components of the most popular blogs on the Internet. Content analysis was used to examine the top 100 blogs by volume to compile a descriptive analysis of the characteristics of blogs, the revenue models used in blogging and the use of social media in the blogosphere. This research is the first major longitudinal study in the marketing discipline to analyze the actual contents of the most popular blogs, thus providing results that would be of interest to both the academic and business communities.

This paper examines the use of advertorials in women’s and teens’ fashion and beauty magazines. Results of a content analysis of samples from 2007 and 2011 show that advertorials increased in number and percent, with the greatest growth in the teen magazines. By 2011, the percent of advertorial pages was significantly greater in the teen magazines. Consistent with prior research including fashion and beauty magazines, over 90% of the advertorials were properly labeled; however, the study revealed two practices—magazine sponsorship and advertising-advertorial adjacencies—that may deserve further attention.

A trend often overlooked in the small business landscape is the growth of Christian service firms. These small service businesses are owned and operated primarily by evangelical Christians and many clearly identify their businesses in the marketplace as Christian entities. Relatively little is known, however, about the impact of a service provider’s Christian identity on various aspects of consumer behavior. Consequently, this research explores the impact of a service provider’s Christian marketplace identity on consumer perceptions, including their prepurchase service expectations and postpurchase perceptions such as satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and word of mouth intentions. Using consumer-company identification theory as a base, the research considers whether a service provider’s Christian identification might inflate consumer expectations and how such identification might influence satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and word of mouth intentions after a service failure. Consumer religiosity levels, i.e., weakly vs. strongly held evangelical beliefs, and their influence on consumer perceptions are also considered. This research proposes that consumers with stronger evangelical Christian beliefs will identify more with Christian firms and therefore be more forgiving after a moderate service failure than consumers holding weaker evangelical religious beliefs. Consumers with strongly-held evangelical Christian beliefs should then have higher postpurchase perceptions after a moderate service failure than consumers with weaker religious beliefs. Research propositions addressing these and related issues are presented, followed by a discussion of both the research and the managerial implications of Christian marketplace identification for small service firms.

P2 Consumer service expectations of Christian-identified service providers who make explicit promises based on their faith will be higher than consumer expectations of Christian-identified service providers who do not make explicit service promises, i.e., make only implicit promises via marketplace identification.

P4 Consumer identification with Christian service providers will increase as consumer religiosity increases. Consumers with stronger evangelical religious beliefs will identify more strongly with Christian service providers than those consumers with weaker evangelical religious beliefs. There will be no difference in consumer-company identification strength with secular service providers.

P5: Consumer postpurchase perceptions of Christian-identified firms after a moderate service failure (i.e., satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and word of mouth intentions) will improve as their religiosity level increases. Those with stronger (weaker) evangelical beliefs will have higher (lower) levels of satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and word of mouth intentions. There will be no differences in consumer postpurchase perceptions of secular service providers between those with stronger versus weaker evangelical beliefs.

There is an ample and ever-growing literature on managerial cognition; however, very little attention has been focused on researcher cognition. This paper posits that external events over time have an effect on business researchers and, in turn, on the types of papers which are published. I empirically tested this hypothesis with a sample of 93 journal articles from the Academy of Management Journal over a 40 year period and found significant findings to support this hypothesis. As the external environment (i.e. macro-economic) becomes more uncertain, academics in Strategy have a propensity to publish more papers based on external theories or concepts than during times of prosperity or decreased uncertainty where the trend is reversed.

As part of a larger visitor profile study of southern Utah visitors during four seasons beginning summer 2010, data was collected regarding trip planning horizons, defined as the time that elapses between when trip planning begins and trip departure, and data regarding the influence of different sources of information, ranging from the Internet to past experience to guidebooks and brochures. There were significant differences in regard to planning horizons with regard to season of travel, education, age, and domicile, but not with regard to household income. With regard to source influence, past experience and the Internet were rated as the most influential, much more so than guidebooks, friends and relatives, and other sources. Results highlight the importance of hospitality businesses understanding their target groups through marketing research.
When do visitors to southern and central Utah begin to plan vacations, and is the planning horizon a function of demographic variables?

The present study assesses the competitive impact of a Wal-Mart Supercenter on food prices on three local Supermarkets chains located in the city of Plattsburgh in upstate New York. The price data collected was part of a Market Basket Consumer Price Index Study and was collected on a bi-weekly basis over a period of twenty-three months. Forty-one (41) Food Items prices ranging over eight (8) categories are studied. Food price differences between a Wal-Mart Supercenter and three (3) Supermarket chains are reported. Price differences between national brands and private labels are equally reported. We compare our findings with that of a number of previous studies that have addressed the same issue, this within the Marketing Literature. Our results are, overall, similar in both magnitude and direction as that of previous studies. Specifically, we found that Supercenter prices were lower in all eight (8) food categories and significantly so in three out of five common food categories. Notwithstanding this result, we find that supermarket prices are not directly influenced by the Wal-Mart Supercenter’s pricing strategy.

Since the explosion of social media in the mid-2000s, scholars and business practitioners have invested significant amounts of time and energy in examining how to take advantage of social media in business, especially in the area of social media marketing. Despite this flurry of activity, significant questions remain about how entrepreneurs can leverage their social media marketing strategies to enhance the internal cohesiveness of their small businesses. While practitioner literature about how entrepreneurs use social media is rapidly expanding, the scholarly literature has focused mostly on its use in marketing (Fischer & Reuber, 2011, p.16). This paper introduces a training outline that entrepreneurs can use or leverage to get employees to buy into and actively contribute to a marketing campaign—and in the process, to build loyalty and trust within the organization by recognizing and validating employees’ social connections and influence.
