The Paradox of Points
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.
Celebrating the Past and Future of Marketing and Discovery with Social Impact
For the 50th Anniversary of the Academy of Marketing Science, the 2021 AMS Annual Conference and Marketing World Congress celebrates the history of marketing while also exploring its future. This includes research on possible new theory discoveries and findings that could lead to more efficient and impactful responses by marketers to the current multi-faceted global challenge array. The volume proposes that marketers strive to continue to offer value in a socially responsible way to the consumers within. Articles in this volume explore the influence of marketing innovations leveraged by the rising influence of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, mechanamorphics, a proliferation of data...
How to Fast-track your Academic Career
This thoroughly updated edition of a classic career guide closes the research-practitioner gap and carefully considers the obstacles faced by researchers pursuing an academic career. From applying for grants to supervising Ph.D. students, the book utilises practical research and real experiences to illustrate how marketing scholars can strike a healthy working balance between teaching and research to find success in academia.
Essays on Supply Chain Management in Emerging Markets
Micha Hirschinger emphasizes the importance of foresight on logistics and institutions in particular for effective decision making as distinct research in this context is limited. He applies a systematic and transferable multi-method approach based on Delphi studies and fuzzy c-means cluster analysis to develop profound scenarios for the future. He uses the relevance of information-processing requirements to investigate whether centralization of purchasing organizations increases functional efficiency. The author finally shows how a sharing-economy business model transfer could help to overcome the limited access to factor markets, especially trucks, at the base of the pyramid.

Adapting Hardware Systems by Means of Multi-Objective Evolution
Reconfigurable circuit devices have opened up a fundamentally new way of creating adaptable systems. Combined with artificial evolution, reconfigurable circuits allow an elegant adaptation approach to compensating for changes in the distribution of input data, computational resource errors, and variations in resource requirements. Referred to as "Evolvable Hardware" (EHW), this paradigm has yielded astonishing results for traditional engineering challenges and has discovered intriguing design principles, which have not yet been seen in conventional engineering. In this thesis, we present new and fundamental work on Evolvable Hardware motivated by the insight that Evolvable Hardware needs to ...
Dialogmarketing Perspektiven 2010/2011
Innovationsstarke Branchen – und dazu zählt das Dialogmarketing ganz eindeutig – benötigen intensive und praxisnahe Forschung, deshalb hat es sich der Deutsche Dialogmarketing Verband seit vielen Jahren zur Aufgabe gemacht, den Austausch zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis zu fördern.
