Marketing is a set of organization-wide activities that connects the company with a network of customers and partners in ways that create attractive value for customers and sustainable profit for the company.

Conceptualizing task-technology fit and the effect on adoption – A case study of a digital textbook service

Information & Management p. 1-10 Doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.im.2019.04.004

Although information technology has revolutionized virtually every aspect of how we interact with products and services, it has changed learning to a surprisingly small degree. In a study of a digital textbook service, we provide a new conceptual definition and measurement of technology fit. We conceptualize task-technology fit as how well a technology is integrated with a set of interrelated tasks included in achieving the goal of the behavior where the technology is used. Whereas research on technology adoption typically explains around 40 percent of the variance in motivation to adopt, our model explains as much as 76 percent.

When Customers Develop Commitment to the Service Employee: Exploring the Direct and Indirect Effects on the Propensity to Stay

Academy of Consumer Research Conference

The paper presents a model for understanding how the consumers’ commitment to the service employee affects the propensity to stay with the company. The model consists of two kinds of commitment, calculative and affective, and includes both commitments to the service employee and to the service firm. The model is tested with a sample of bank customers. The findings support the important role of the service employee as a means to attach the customers to the firm. Moreover, the service employee is an important source of customers’ commitment to the service firm, indicating that the service employee indeed contributes to customer loyalty.

When does it pay-off to exceed customers' expectations: The importance of differentiating should- and could expectations

New and Evolving Paradigms. The Emerging Fuuture of Marketing

The authors address the important issue of when suppliers should exce ed customers expectations by analyzing how supplier behavior creates positive negative affect and cognitive responses in terms of satisfac tion, and subsequently behavioral intentions in terms of share of bus iness with the focal supplier, motivation to continue the relationshi p, likelihood of positive word of mouth, and motivation to expand the scope of the relationship. Recent research has suggested that affect ive responses to disconfirmation of expectations are important, but h as mainly focused on consumer markets. The authors extend past resear ch by examining affective and cognitive responses in an industrial co ntext, and the suppliers' performance in buyer-seller relationship. I n a study of 150 established buyer-seller relationships in the indust rial telecommunication market, they found that customers' affective r esponses to supplier reliability were different from their responses to supplier benevolence. Low supplier reliability created negative af fect, and high supplier benevolence created positive affect. However, high reliability did not create positive affect, and low supplier be nevolence did not create ne
