In his research, Sören Köcher provides valuable insights on the paradoxical effects of the magnitude of a loyalty program medium—i.e. the sheer number of points, miles, or stamps credited for every purchase and required for reward redemption—on the central consumer decisions in loyalty program memberships. In sum, the results of twelve empirical studies reveal that high magnitude currencies improve the attractiveness of medium collection but entail reluctant medium spending behavior. These findings provide important implications for a more efficient usage of loyalty programs in business practices. In addition, this dissertation discovers a violation of one of the most fundamental assumptions of rational choice theory and thus contributes to a better understanding of when and why people deviate from rational decision-making.
Loyalty is one of the main assets of a brand. In today’s markets, achieving and maintaining loyal customers has become an increasingly complex challenge for brands due to the widespread acceptance and adoption of diverse technologies by which customers communicate with brands. Customers use different channels (physical, web, apps, social media) to seek information about a brand, communicate with it, chat about the brand and purchase its products. Firms are thus continuously changing and adapting their processes to provide customers with agile communication channels and coherent, integrated brand experiences through the different channels in which customers are present. In this context, und...

Using empirical analyses on the basis of sound theoretical foundations, Markus Wübben shows how customer relationships can be broadened, i.e., how customers’ cross-buying behavior can be stimulated and how customers’ relationship length and depth, meaning customers’ activity and purchase-levels, can be predicted.

Third, she investigates whether perceptions of format specific core attributes differ in their impact on the brand building process in saturated and emerging markets.
Die Frage nach Erfolgskonzepten für Unternehmen ist so alt wie die Geschichte der Wirtschaft. Die zentrale Frage, welche die handelnden Subjekte antreibt, ist und bleibt die nach dem ,,Erfolg". Dabei ist es zunächst zweitrangig, wie der Maßstab des Erfolgs aussieht und auf welches Ziel das Handeln gerichtet ist. Es geht vielmehr darum, dass überhaupt ein Ziel angestrebt wird. Erfolg kann somit als "Grad der Zielerreichung" verstanden werden. ,,Exzellenz in Dienstleistung und Vertrieb - Konzeptionelle Grundlagen und empirische Ergebnisse" lautet der Titel des vorliegenden Buchs. Dies deutet bereits an, dass im Rahmen der hier durchgeführten theoretischen und empirischen Analysen versucht...
Designed for advanced MBA and doctoral courses in Consumer Behavior and Customer Satisfaction, this is the definitive text on the meaning, causes, and consequences of customer satisfaction. It covers every psychological aspect of satisfaction formation, and the contents are applicable to all consumables - product or service.Author Richard L. Oliver traces the history of consumer satisfaction from its earliest roots, and brings together the very latest thinking on the consequences of satisfying (or not satisfying) a firm's customers. He describes today's best practices in business, and broadens the determinants of satisfaction to include needs, quality, fairness, and regret ('what might have been').The book culminates in Oliver's detailed model of consumption processing and his satisfaction measurement scale. The text concludes with a section on the long-term effects of satisfaction, and why an understanding of satisfaction psychology is vitally important to top management.
David Woisetschläger untersucht die Markenwirkung von Sponsoring im Zeitverlauf und mit der Methode des Growth Mixture Modelling. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die individuellen Einstellungsänderungen im Strukturmodell bei gleichzeitiger Segmentierung nach (un-)beobachtbarer Konsumentenheterogenität zu schätzen. Klassenspezifische Effekte des Sponsorings lassen sich identifizieren, Kommunikationseffekte können präziser gemessen und verlässlichere Aussagen über die Effektivität der Maßnahmen abgeleitet werden.
