How can brands effectively handle recovery messaging after a service failure to maximize brand loyalty? My coauthors Ganga Hewage, Ph.D., FCIM, Lam An, Jonathan Hasford and I explored the influence of visual messaging cues in our recent publication at the Journal of Service Research. Our studies show more favorable consumer behavior and increased loyalty intentions with the right visual communication. Here are the key takeaways: 📢 Using visual cues with lower perceived movement after a brand failure can significantly boost customer loyalty. 📢 These lower-movement visual cues help rebuild trust. 📢 These lower-movement visual cues are most effective when paired with apologies. Many thanks to our amazing review team. #research #marketing #brandrecovery #academicresearch #consumerbehavior #publication #emojis Kennesaw State University - Michael J.

Our paper "How do Inclusive Leaders Emerge? A Theory-Based Model" coauthored with Michalle Mor Barak, Kim Brimhall and Gil Luria has been accepted for publication in Management Learning Journal! This research addresses a significant gap in the literature by exploring the emergence of inclusive leaders, integrating theories of leadership emergence and inclusion. Our proposed conceptual model highlights the paradox that, despite the proven effectiveness of inclusive leadership, it is often overlooked in leader selection processes. We identify key practices that can support the emergence of inclusive leaders and improve organizational effectiveness and employee well-being. This work underscores the importance of intentional interventions to disrupt traditional biases in leader selection and foster a truly inclusive leadership environment. We hope this model will serve as a foundation for future research and inform policies promoting inclusive leadership.

How to Shift Consumer Behavior To Be More Sustainable?

🌟 Reflecting on Ethical Decision-Making in Today's Corporate World 🌟 In the wake of recent events, where notable organizations have re-evaluated their partnerships based on ethical grounds, it's crucial for us to pause and reflect on the essence of ethical decision-making within our corporations. Yesterday, I had an insightful conversation with esteemed Ethics and Purpose Professor, Andy Wicks, from the UVA - Darden School of Management. We delved into the complexities of ethical dilemmas that organizations face, especially in scenarios where societal expectations are rapidly evolving. Professor Wicks has long emphasized that ethical decision-making isn't merely about choosing between right and wrong but understanding the deeper impact of our decisions on a wide array of stakeholders. His teachings remind us that ethical considerations should be as integral to business strategy as financial considerations. Here are a few key takeaways from our discussion and his teachings based on the "Note on Ethical Decision Making, Darden Business Publishing": 1. Standards of Conduct: Every organization operates within a community of practice that has established norms and expectations. Understanding and aligning with these standards not only builds trust but also sustains long-term success. 2. Character and Relationships: The character of an organization shapes its destiny. Nurturing traits like integrity, fairness, and responsibility within corporate culture is essential for building enduring relationships and a respected brand. 3. Purposes and Consequences: Decisions must be evaluated not just by their potential to achieve business goals but also by their impact on the community and environment. This approach ensures that the pursuits of profitability do not undermine ethical standards. The recent decision by DI, Novo, and Maersk to reassess their collaboration with Copenhagen Pride raises important questions about aligning business practices with social values. This scenario exemplifies the need for organizations to be ever-vigilant and responsive to the ethical implications of their actions (I am making no judgment here, as I do not know the situation, so only showing the complexity of ethical decision making in organizations). As we navigate these challenging times, let's commit to fostering an environment where ethical deliberations are not just an afterthought but a fundamental aspect of strategic decision-making. I encourage all professionals to engage in this dialogue, reflect on your organization’s ethical practices, and consider how you can contribute to more principled decision-making in your spheres of influence.

This is an interesting blog by Stephan Seiler who is professor of marketing at Imperial College Business School. #Prepurchase #data Yes, data does tell us a lot more about a consumer’s preferences than just observing the purchase and the new data on search behaviour confirms that consumers search very few products before making a purchase, typically only two or three. Also, I agree that Eye-tracking technology (both on- and off-line) can only be done in a research environment where the customer is fully aware that their behaviour is being analysed, which in turn can skew results. "If consumers do less research before their purchase, product visibility assumes greater significance" #marketing #Data https://lnkd.in/gFMhBxjU

New research article alert: It turns out that marketers telling consumers that their offering is simple, simplified, or making some task or process simpler could backfire, contrary to the current thinking from branding and marketing communications experts. See my most recent paper in the Journal of Marketing Research. https://lnkd.in/gvtJaUAg
