    Acquisition-Related Provision-Taking and Post-Acquisition Performance in the UK Prior to FRS 7 (2000)

    Notes: This paper examines the association between acquisiton-related provision-taking behaviour and post-acquisition performance for a sample of UK firms that undertook large acquisitions between 1989 and 1995. We find evidence that provision-taking was associated with declining accounting and market-adjusted stock price performance over the three-year period following the fiscal year of the acquisition. This relationship exists after controlling for a variety of factors, including method of payment in the acquisition and post-acquisition cash flow performance. By implication, post-acquisition abnormal returns appear to have been predictable based on publicly available information about the magnitude of the provisions. These findings are consistent with the following scenario: The management of the high provisioners used the provisions to insulate accounting earnings from the effects of declining cash flows. The market belatedly reacted to these firms' declining fortunes when net income was no longer inflated by provision reversals.

    Who moved my Muggle? Harry Potter and the marketing imaginarium (2002)

    Notes: According to John Grant's New Marketing Manifesto, contemporary consumers "act their shoe size not their age" by resolutely refusing to grow up. They are not alone. Managers too are adopting a kiddy imperative, as the profusion of primers predicated on children's literature - and storytelling generally - bears witness. Winnie the Pooh, the Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland and Hans Christian Andersen are the marketing gurus du jour, or so it seems. This paper adds to the juvenile agenda by examining the Harry Potter books, all four of which are replete with references to market-place phenomena, and contending that scholarly sustenance can be drawn from J.K. Rowling's remarkable, if ambivalent, marketing imagination.

    Notes: An introduction to the special issue "A taste of paradise". Discusses the various representations of paradise over time and asserts that these have always reflected the society that produced them. Stresses that marketing is unavoidably implicated in our perceptions of paradise. Refers to the different notions of marketing paradise held by the various authors of the papers in the special issue.

    Going bananas in paradise: from McDonaldisation to Fyffefication (2000)

    Notes: Just prior to the recent millennial transition, The Observer polled a cross-section of British celebrities about their perceptions of paradise. Most of these were suitably vague - perpetual joy, renewed relationships, blissful state of mind etc. - but the anarchic comedian Mark Thomas archly described Heaven as "smelling of bananas". Off-hand possibly, flippant undoubtedly, yet Thomas's remark is strikingly apt, since bananas are the original "forbidden fruit" of the Garden of Eden. Apples are mere interlopers, latter-day arrivistes that have prospered thanks to the spin-doctoring tactics of the wily Serpent. This paper, therefore, aims to set the record straight by telling a tall banana tale and explaining how bananamarketing is the future of our field.

    Generating positive word-of-mouth communication through customer-employee relationships (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of service industry management 12 (2001), S. 44-59 
    Details
    ISSN: 0956-4233
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: In this study, we hypothesize and empirically test the proposition that interpersonal bonds, or relationships between employees and customers, can significantly influence positive word-of-mouth (WOM) communication. Such influence may be especially true for many services, particularly in situations where a relationship has developed between the customer and individual service providers. In this study we look at four dimensions of interpersonal bonds: trust, care, rapport, and familiarity. We contend that as a customer's trust increases in a specific employee (or employees), positive WOM communication about the organization is more likely to increase and such trust is a consequence of three other interpersonal relationship dimensions: a personal connection between employees and customers, care displayed by employees, and employee familiarity with customers. These propositions are investigated using data collected from bank customers and dental patients, and we find empirical support for all but one of our hypotheses. A key finding is that the presence of interpersonal relationships between employees and customers is significantly correlated with customer WOM behavior. We conclude with a discussion of how interpersonal relationships between customers and employees might be fostered in order to increase the likelihood of customer WOM behavior.

    Crisis, what crisis? Marketing, Midas, and the Croesus of representation (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Qualitative market research 6 (2003), S. 194-205

    Notes: A crisis, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is "a decisive moment", "a turning point", "a time of great difficulty". If this is the case, then marketing cannot possibly be in crisis. Crises are temporary states of heightened anxiety, whereas marketing is in a semi-permanent philosophical pickle. Or so scholarly commentators would have us believe. This paper argues that there is no crisis of representation in marketing. There are more, and more varied, representations of marketing than there have ever been. Representationally speaking, marketing is living in a golden age, a time of Croesus and King Midas. The real problem is that many of these representations are not very good, albeit for understandable reasons. We need to raise the quality rather than increase the quantity of our "experimental" endeavours and this paper makes five recommendations to that end.

    Vote, vote, vote for Philip Kotler (2002)
    Bradford : Emerald
    European journal of marketing 36 (2002), S. 313-324

    Notes: Thirty years ago, Philip Kotler drafted the modern marketing constitution and most would agree that it has served the discipline well. A generation on from Kotler's conceptual charter, however, our rainbow coalition is in a state of disarray. Marketing is doubted by its scholarly citizens, questioned by a standing army of consultants and challenged by increasingly anarchistic consumers who are voting with their pocketbooks. This paper employs Kotler's political metaphor to posit that conceptual amendments are necessary and that the democratic principles of consumer sovereignty might not be the most appropriate constitutional framework for our postmodern marketing times. A dictatorship of the imagination is advocated. An ingenuity-led insurrection is recommended. A confederacy of creativity is called for. And a retrospective secession is suggested.

    Informatics for mutagenesis: the design of Mutabase—a distributed data recording system for animal husbandry, mutagenesis, and phenotypic analysis (2000)

    Notes: Abstract. The increasing use of high-throughput methods for the production of biologically important information and the increasing diversity of that information pose considerable bioinformatics challenges. These challenges will be met by implementing electronic data management systems not only to capture the data, but increasingly to provide a platform for data integration and mining as we enter the post-genomic era. We discuss the design and implementation of such a data capture system, `Mutabase', as a model of how such electronic systems might be designed and implemented. Mutabase was created in support of a large-scale, phenotype-driven mouse mutagenesis program at MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit, Harwell, in collaboration with SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, and Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London. The aim of this mutagenesis project is to make a significant contribution to the existing mouse mutant resource, closing the phenotype gap and providing many more models for fundamental research and disease modeling. Mutabase records experimental details at the `point of generation' and provides a number of dissemination and analysis tools for the experimental data, as well as providing a means of assessing various aspects of progress of the program. Mutabase uses a hypertext-based interface to provide interaction between a number of intranet-based client workstations and a central industrial strength database. Mutabase utilizes a variety of techniques in order to implement the user interface system including Perl/CGI, Java Servlets, and an experimental CORBA server. We discuss the relative merits of these methods in the context of the need to provide sound informatics approaches for the support of systematic mutagenesis programs.
