Underlying a Bertrand model of price competition, we empirically model pricing behaviour in an oligopoly. We analyse panel data of individual pricing information of mobile phone contracts offered between 2011 and 2017. We provide empirical evidence that price differences as well as reputational effects serve as a signal to buyers and significantly affect market demand. Additionally, we find that brands lead to an increase in demand and thus are able to generate spillover effects even after price increase.}}, author = {{Kaimann, Daniel and Hoyer, Britta}}, journal = {{Applied Economics Letters}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{54--57}}, publisher = {{Taylor and Francis Online}}, title = {{{Price competition and the Bertrand model: The paradox of the German mobile discount market}}}, doi = {{10.1080/13504851.2018.1436141}}, volume = {{26}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{80, abstract = {{Models on network formation have often been extended to include the potential of network disruption in recent years. Whereas the theoretical research on network formation under the threat of disruption has thus gained prominence, hardly any experimental research exists so far. In this paper, we therefore experimentally study the emergence of networks including the aspect of a known external threat by relating theoretical predictions by Dzuibiński and Goyal (2013) to actual observed behaviour. We deal with the question if subjects in the role of a strategic Designer are able to form safe networks for least costs while facing a strategic Adversary who is going to attack their networks. Varying the costs for protecting nodes, we designed and tested two treatments with different predictions for the equilibrium network and investigated whether one of the least cost equilibrium networks was more likely to be reached. Furthermore, the influence of the subjects’ farsightedness on their decision-making process was elicited and analysed. We find that while subjects are able to build safe networks in both treatments, equilibrium networks are only built in one of the two treatments. In the other treatment, predominantly safe networks are built but they are not for least costs. Additionally, we find that farsightedness –as measured in our experiment– has no influence on whether subjects are able to build safe or least cost equilibrium networks. Two robustness settings with a reduced external threat or more liberties to modify the initial networks qualitatively confirm our results. Overall, in this experiment observed behaviour is only partially in line with the theoretical predictions by Dzuibiński and Goyal (2013).}}, author = {{Endres, Angelika Elfriede and Recker, Sonja and Mir Djawadi, Behnud and Hoyer, Britta}}, journal = {{Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization }}, pages = {{708--734}}, title = {{{Network Formation and Disruption - An Experiment: Are equilibrium networks too complex?}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jebo.2018.11.004}}, volume = {{157}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inproceedings{15532, author = {{Purrmann, Maren and Wünderlich, Nancy}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 2019 Frontiers in Service Conference}}, location = {{Singapore}}, title = {{{Value Co-Creation Patterns in Multi-Actor Service Interactions: A Framework for Collaborative Consumption Platforms}}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{15268, author = {{Szierbowski-Seibel, Klaas and Wach, Bernhard A. and Kabst, Rüdiger}}, issn = {{1541-6518}}, journal = {{Organization Management Journal}}, pages = {{262--277}}, title = {{{The Collaboration of Human Resource Management and Line Management–An International Comparison}}}, doi = {{10.1080/15416518.2019.1679076}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{15269, abstract = {{ Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of national culture on organizations’ use of selection practices, specifically to investigate the impact of in-group collectivism, uncertainty avoidance and power distance on interview panels, one-on-one interviews, applications forms, references, ability, technical and psychometric tests. Design/methodology/approach This study uses survey data from the 2008–2010 CRANET database. It uses OLS regression analysis to test the impact of national culture on organizations’ use of selection practices. Findings In-group collectivism increases the use of panel interviews and technical tests, and decreases the use of one-on-one interviews and application forms. Uncertainty avoidance increases the use of panel interviews and technical tests, and a decrease in one-on-one interviews, applications ability, and psychometric tests. Power distance leads to an increase in one-on-one interviews, applications and ability tests, and a decrease in panel interviews, psychometric tests and references. Originality/value This paper investigates the use of the impact of national culture on selection practices. Specifically, it looks at the use of a large number of selection practices panel interviews, one-on-one interviews, applications and references, and several different tests, ability, technical and psychometric. }}, author = {{Prince, Nicholas Ryan and Kabst, Rüdiger}}, issn = {{0142-5455}}, journal = {{Employee Relations: The International Journal}}, pages = {{1145--1161}}, title = {{{Impact of national culture on organizations’ use of selection practices}}}, doi = {{10.1108/er-10-2018-0284}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{13149, author = {{Wünderlich, Nancy V. and Hogreve, Jens and Chowdhury, Ilma Nur and Fleischer, Hannes and Mousavi, Sahar and Rötzmeier-Keuper, Julia and Sousa, Rui}}, issn = {{0148-2963}}, journal = {{Journal of Business Research}}, title = {{{Overcoming vulnerability: Channel design strategies to alleviate vulnerability perceptions in customer journeys}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jbusres.2019.07.027}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{13454, author = {{Eggert, Andreas and Kleinaltenkamp, Michael and Kashyap, Vishal}}, journal = {{Industrial Marketing Management}}, pages = {{13----20}}, title = {{{Mapping Value in Business Markets: An Integrative Framework}}}, volume = {{79}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{13455, author = {{Garnefeld, Ina and Eggert, Andreas and Husemann-Kopetzky, Markus and Boehm, Eva}}, journal = {{Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science}}, number = {{4}}, pages = {{595----616}}, title = {{{Exploring the link between payment schemes and customer fraud: a mental accounting perspective}}}, volume = {{47}}, year = {{2019}}, } @inproceedings{13456, author = {{Eggert, Andreas and Boehm, Eva and Akalan, Rodi and Gebauer, Heiko}}, title = {{{Service Growth by Acquisition – An Event Study}}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{13457, author = {{Eggert, Andreas and Steinhoff, Lena and Witte, Carina}}, journal = {{Journal of Marketing}}, title = {{{Gift Purchases as Catalysts for Strengthening Customer–Brand Relationships}}}, year = {{2019}}, }
