Our “Social & Innovation Marketing” lab produces and disseminates original and innovative contributions, that benefit consumers, companies, and communities for the greater social good.

Exciting research topics that have an impact on society!

An interdisciplinary approach

We use a multi-disciplinary approach to address a range of research questions in marketing and consumer behavior. These disciplines include marketing, psychology, sociology, biology and anthropology. The Lab members also share expertise in quantitative, experimental, qualitative and ethnographic methodologies to better understand companies and consumer decision-making, reasoning and preferences.

This interdisciplinary approach allows us to create synergies between the research techniques and methodologies commonly used in marketing, consumer psychology, cognitive science, evolutionary psychology, sociology, cultural studies, ethnography and anthropology.

2016-2017

  • 27 February 2017 : Workshop “Links between violent shoopers and employees  employees’ deviant behaviour” with Pr. Jean-Charles CHEBAT.  Abstract: Customers are increasingly violent toward frontline employees. Service corporations developed three commonsensical strategies to deal with consumers, that is, “customer is king”, “service with a smile”, and “corporation as a family”. Our empirical data (some 500 service employees) show that such strategies bring about paradoxical consequences on the employees’ behaviors toward the service corporation, especially in terms of reduced commitment to the employer and deviant behavior. Employees show an increased level of anger toward the corporation, emotional exhaustion. Managerial conclusions are drawn from the findings
  • 6 October 2016 : Conference: “Strategic Ambidexterity: Business Process Influence on Innovation Strategy” with Janet K. Tinoco, PHDAbstract: organizations that can successfully develop both radical and incremental product innovations positively impact sustained competitive advantage. Past research has indicated that a dual focus in innovation strategy may be fulfilled by use of dual organizational structures and cultures. This research complements these efforts by analyzing business process influences on dual focus. Using data collected from US high technology manufacturers, four strategic archetypes in innovation were developed and analyzed using cluster analysis. Dual focus firms were shown to have multiple processes in place that impact both types of innovation strategies and that these firms implement these processes to a greater extent than those firms operating in the more extreme positions. Following the report of results, implications for organizations toiling for a sustainable competitive advantage through product innovation are discussed, as well as future research directions.
