Full textThe second essay presents a multilevel latent variable modeling approach designed to select optimally psychophysiological measures for further analysis of within- and between-subject differences. Specifically, a multilevel structural equations model is used to illustrate the approach with data from electrodermal activity obtained from 97 subjects who completed 80 trials on the Iowa Gambling Task. Results indicate that measures based on the area under the curve of a processed waveform are well-suited to explore within- and between-subject differences in the task. I find the interpretation of these measures to be questionable in late blocks, due to a cross-level interaction with the age of participants.
In the conclusion, I present explorations of consumer decision making using the conceptual framework developed in this thesis. Specifically, I use physiological data to uncover the psychological processes involved in subjective valuation, and suggest that scope insensitivity may play a role in the development of trust. Future research and implications for these findings are discussed.
Cette thèse présente deux essais dont le but commun est d'établir les fondations d'une approche multidisciplinaire pour l'étude des bases viscérales, motivationnelles et émotionnelles de la prise de décision des consommateurs. Le premier essai teste l'hypothèse que les motivations d'approche et de retrait influencent la prise de décision par l'entremise du processus d'évaluation subjective. En utilisant deux versions de la «tâche de jeu de l'Iowa», nous trouvons du support pour la position que l'asymétrie dans les systèmes régissant les motivations d'approche et de retraite crée des biais systématiques qui mènent à des différences de performance dans les tâches. Spécifiquement, nous trouvons qu'une haute sensibilité dans le système motivationnel relié à l'approche mène à une évaluation par les émotions et une insensibilité à la magnitude dans le domaine des gains, tandis qu'une haute sensibilité dans le système motivationnel relié au retrait mène à une évaluation par les émotions et une insensibilité à la magnitude dans le domaine des pertes.
Le deuxième essai présente une approche de modélisation par variables latentes à deux niveaux dont le but est de choisir de façon optimale les mesures psychophysiologiques qui pourront être utilisées dans des analyses ultérieures de différences aux niveaux intra- et inter-individus. Un modèle d'équations structurelles à deux niveaux est utilisé pour illustrer l'approche avec des données électrodermales obtenues de 97 sujets ayant complété 80 sélections dans la «tâche de jeu de l'Iowa». Les résultats indiquent que les mesures basées sur l'aire sous la courbe combinées à un traitement des données brutes sont les plus appropriées pour l'exploration des différences intra- et interindividuelles qui apparaissent dans la tâche. L'interprétation de ces mesures doit par contre être remise en question pour les dernières sélections, puisqu'une interaction existe entre l'âge des participants et la progression de ces mesures au cours de l'expérience.
En guise de conclusion, j'utilise le cadre conceptuel développé dans cette thèse pour présenter des explorations de la prise de décision des consommateurs. J'utilise des données physiologiques pour déterminer le processus psychologique qui mènent aux évaluations subjectives, et je suggère que l'insensibilité à la magnitude pourrait jouer un rôle dans l'établissement d'une relation de confiance. La thèse conclut avec des pistes de recherches futures, ainsi qu'une discussion des implications des résultats contenus dans la thèse.

Full textRecent studies have shown the importance of self-employment as an alternative to wage employment and a response to unemployment. In this context, this paper aims to examine empirically the determinants that influence the workersâ choice between selfemployment and wage worker, emphasizing the influence of neighborhood effects on this choice. To accomplish this task itusesa Multilevel Model for Discrete Choice and data set about individualsâ labor market drawn from the Survey on Employment and Unemployment (Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego â PED), which covers the Metropolitan Area of Fortaleza for the years 2009 and 2010. The use of the Multilevel Model for testing the effects of neighborhoods on individuals, and the own database are contributions of this research. Among other results it was found that decision models in the labor markets excluding the possibility of social interaction in neighborhoods, may produce biased results. This effect was highly significant and positive indicating that a worker whose neighborhood has a high share of self-employment is also more likely to choose this type of work than another worker with the same characteristics, but who lives in another neighborhood with prevalence wage employees.
Estudos recentes tÃm evidenciado a importÃncia do status de ocupaÃÃo autÃnoma por este representar uma alternativa ao emprego remunerado e uma possibilidade de resposta ao desemprego. Nesse contexto, esta dissertaÃÃo tem por objetivo analisar empiricamente os determinantes que influenciam a escolha do indivÃduo em ser autÃnomo (vis-Ã-vis, ser assalariado), com Ãnfase para o efeito que o contexto social de vizinhanÃa pode exercer sobre esta escolha. Para isto utilizou-se modelos de MultinÃvel para escolha discreta, sendo as informaÃÃes dos indivÃduos no mercado de trabalho extraÃdas da Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego â PED da RegiÃo Metropolitana de Fortaleza para os anos de 2009 e 2010. O uso do modelo MultinÃvel para testar efeitos de vizinhanÃa e a prÃpria base de dados sÃo contribuiÃÃes desta pesquisa. Entre outros resultados verificou-se que modelos de decisÃo no mercado de trabalho que excluem a possibilidade de interaÃÃo social em vizinhanÃa, podem gerar resultados viesados. Este efeito mostrou-se altamente significativo e positivo indicando que um trabalhador, cuja vizinhanÃa possui uma alta participaÃÃo de trabalho autÃnomo, tem uma probabilidade maior de tambÃm escolher este tipo de trabalho, do que outro trabalhador que tem as mesmas caracterÃsticas, mas que mora em outra vizinhanÃa com prevalÃncia de trabalhadores assalariados.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify what measures are used within a network marketing company to encourage the product consultants (PCs) to expand their networks. This study was conducted by interviewing three PCs and the Swedish marketing manager of Tahitian Noni International (TNI). A model is presented to structure the empirical findings, which shows that it is mainly the bonus system that is the catalyst in the organization, but also the company’s educations are of importance.

A pesquisa vencedores e vendedores: o uso do marketing multinível como estratégia de expansão de uma igreja neopentecostal goiana tem por finalidade debater as estratégias de marketing multinível utilizadas pela Videira Igreja em Células para estabelecer no concorrido mercado religioso. O texto foi elaborado a partir da teoria do mercado religioso, sendo possível então perceber como as teias que o mercado tece podem ser encontradas no discurso doutrinário da Igreja Videira. A importância da análise do discurso doutrinário que apropria os conceitos de mercado, se dá pela possiblidade de compreender que o campo religioso neopentecostal consegue estabelecer, apropriar, resignificar novas práticas discursivas na finalidade de atender as suas ambições. Para a realização desta pesquisa tomou-se como base os escritos da Videira Igreja em Células e a comparação a partir da pesquisa de Monteiro (2011) sobre uma empresa de marketing multinível.

Most of people feel a strong antipathy towards the multilevel marketing. The negative feedback follows as a consequence of consideration of one direction only selling from people to people. Practically, operating multilevel marketing is a serious issue that should be directed by experts who specializes in knowledge management including marketing implementation, organization management, human resource, and business administration. It’s a narrow definition only with a specific point of view in understanding or judging the multilevel marketing. Comprehensive perspective of multilevel marketing is globalization and specialization. People owning these knowledge and technology is so-called understanding multilevel marketing in truth. The research provides people with guiding information and instruction who are intending to run the business of multilevel marketing, including relative regulations, authority and obligation that people easily leave out while operating the business of multilevel marketing. The research positively effects people with motivation to learn and establish new manner of life for development and perspective on multilevel marketing industry. Conventional direct selling confronts a pressure on revolution due to advancement of internet technology and living standard. Anticipate the research to be conducted with proposal for win-win.

To prevent unscrupulous vendors using spurious commodities is to achieve the goal of economic crimes. The original direct selling industry is purely made to allow women and students who are not able to do part-time jobs to earn meager profits by selling commodities. With the structure of the members turns to multi-levels, the industry develops to multilevel marketing. If the multilevel marketing business is not for selling commodities, it is regarded illegal in various countries. And with the rise of the Internet, the distribution channel to direct selling or multilevel marketing is making diversified developments, which affects the meanings of the original direct selling. We made Multi-Level Marketing Supervision Act in 2014 for vulnerable distributors. It stipulates the autonomy of multilevel marketing business to formulate legal contractual terms indirectly, and it shows the development of Public Private Partnership. The master’s thesis collects and organizes the practical cases of legislation before and after, and discusses the results of Multi-Level Marketing Protection Foundation which is founded to solve civil mediation fully. We attempt to compare the differences between various countries and Taiwan as suggestions for amending the law.

With the development of information technology, consumers have more and more access to information of goods – internet, magazines, television, broadcast for example. Multi-level marketing company should use data-mining technology to find out the relations of distributors’ preference in order to judge and determine how and why the consumers purchase these goods. According these information, the company can draw up a more precise sales strategy plan, build closer partnership with their distributors, and procure the goal of sustainable management. This research is base on a marketing and business transactions data-base of an international multilevel marketing company. I tried to find out the purchased goods’ relations of distributors by shopping basket analyzing GRI algorithm. As a result, this research find parts of the categories of distributors’ purchase are the same, but still have a lot of difference in the minimum supportability and reliability. At the last, according to this conclusion, I tried to make the proposal of sales strategy, marketing strategy, and customer service for this multi-level marketing company to make a related strategic commercial decision in the future.

According to the survey of Multilevel Marketing (MLM) organizations report in the year 2009 conducted by Fair Trade Commission Executive Yuan, there were 4,442,000 people participated in the MLMs in Taiwan. Based on the data published by the Ministry of Interior, the population of Taiwan in the year of 2009 was 23,119,000; therefore, on average the participation rate in Multilevel Marketing Organizations in Taiwan is about 19.21%. Due to current economic uncertainty, Multilevel Marketing Organizations are especially attractive to people of all backgrounds. This is mainly because MLMs have low start-up costs, and require only basic entry level know-how to start. Although the participation rate of MLMs in Taiwan is 19.21%, the actual active number of IBOs (independent business owners) who run direct selling business is far less than the number shown on the statistics. This research is a qualitative study using the Behavioral Events Interview method to explore the managerial competency model of leaders in Multilevel Marketing organizations which further defines and includes managerial competencies clusters, managerial competencies, and managerial competencies indicators. There are six major managerial competencies clusters and sixteen sub-competencies included in this managerial competency model. The six managerial competencies clusters are “Goal and Action cluster,” “Cognitive cluster,” “Organization Development cluster,” “Leadership cluster,” “Knowledge & Skill cluster,” and “Personal Traits cluster.” As for the sub-competencies, they are “Achievement,” “Initiative,” “Action,” “Analytical Thinking,” “Conceptual Thinking,” “Information Seeking,” “Organization Awareness,” “Organization Development,” “Developing Others,” “Team and Cooperation,” “Team Leadership,” “Confidence,” “Communication,” “ Knowledge and Skill,” “Dissemination of Knowledge,” and “Personal Traits.” Among these, what distinguishes the managerial competency model of the leaders in MLMs from the general managerial competency model is the “Organization Development cluster.” This cluster includes four competencies, which are “Organization Awareness,” “Organization Development,” “Developing Others,” and “Team and Cooperation.” In addition “Action” and “Dissemination of Knowledge” are also the core competencies/characteristics that leaders in MLMs possess. This managerial competencies model for leaders in Multilevel Marketing organizations can benefit three types of people. For IBOs who just join the MLMs, this model can be an educational reference for developing their managerial competencies. For leaders in MLMs, this model can be a checklist for their work performance. For people who are from the Multilevel Marketing organizations, this model can be a source for annual training programs or a reference for publications in MLM organizations.

Whether there is opportunity for entrepreneurship in a multi-level marketing (MLM) business, and how an MLM success story tells requisitions of winning personality and managerial competence in team building formulate the core thesis of this research. From exploring the correlation between personality and business performance with the team climate measurement as the moderator, this research concluded with the following: 1. There was significant relationship between an MLM distributor’s personality and his/her performance; however, besides the fit in locus of control respect, team climate would not exactly break in such relation. 2. The variety of members’ personalities in an MLM team was not significantly correlated to the team performance; however, the construct of team climate had significant interference in the relationship in between. 3. The relationship between member’s personality and his/her performance would not necessarily be interfered by the team climate, either from the individual or the team level respect. The analytic results of the research would suggest that distributors and the candidates of “the Challenger,”“the Achiever” and “the Investigator,”along with the “Internals” personalities have better chances to be successful, and would be worth evaluating in the MLM participants and team partners selection. For the managerial implications and recommendations by this research, the future researchers must deal with the difficulties in conducting surveys among MLM’s and their distributors, like the bias of data collected at a conference or workshop, and the reluctances of answering or filling survey questions. By fetching assistances and supports from the MLM administrative body, as well as from the MLM company''s executing authority for the task of completing data collection in MLM organizations are really essential to a research''s comprehensiveness. Finally, in the study of personality, there are so different theories and applicable tools in psychometric appraisal, a researcher relating to such field must first verify whether theories referred and tools deployed fit in the thesis. Though it was not anticipated, in this research factors rendered by the Big-Five strains could then be extracted through Principal Component Analysis for Eigen-value, and then come out a 7-factor derived constructs, which so closely resembled those stated in the Enneagram. Nonetheless, future researchers may be worth exploring whether it is coincidentally happened or destined in the personality studies. Key words: MLM, personality, team performance, team climate, Enneagram

Multilevel-marketing industry eventually started in Mainland China since Avon invested in Guangzhou in November 1990. After then Sunrider, Mary Kay, Tupperware Amway, and some Taiwan companies such as Hsin-Ten, MDI, Chlitina entered the big potential market too. The China government has set a lot of restrictions on this wholly new industry, but they didn’t work out. The disorder of this new market was due to several reasons. One of the reasons was that the China government was not familiar with this capitalistic industry therefor the law and rules were not really appropriate. Besides, the quality of people who joined in direct selling was not good enough. There were many social problems caused by this new industry. On April.12.1998, the China government announced a statement, which forbid all kinds of multilevel-marketing activities in China and asked multilevel-marketing companies to transfer into store-type business. The purpose of this paper is to observe the firms’ behavior and strategy during this period and develop a whole risk management model. And the research objectives are as follows: (1) Discussing the multilevel-marketing background and risk in Mainland China; (2) Discussing the responding strategy of political risk; (3) Discussing the adjusting strategy; (4) Developing a risk management model. This study develops four groups of propositions through collecting secondary data and visiting some sampling corporations. They are (1) the influence of risk evaluating system on risk consciousness; (2) the key determining factors of entry strategy; (3) the key determining factors of risk responding strategy; (4) the key determining factors of adjusting strategy. Our study finds out that the Taiwanese multilevel-marketing companies that have investment in Mainland China still have to work on their risk evaluating and environmental scanning system. This study also shows that company strategy, growth speed, and enterprises have great influence on entry strategy and adjusting strategy.

Both participants and the amount of sales of the multilevel marketing business have been increasing year after year since it was introduced in 1970s. The MLM business created an amount of sales for NT$51.991 billion in 2003. This development means that there are more and more products sold through multilevel marketing channels. In recent years, many new products have been multilevel marketed. Even intangible goods (usually are services) are also popularly sold through multilevel marketing plans. Intangible goods are quite different from tangible goods, which are not only invisible and untouchable, but also are sold with a special trading pattern in the MLM business. The MLM firms usually require participants to pay a certain amount of money when they join the firms to purchase the service which will be provided in the future. This trading pattern causes many problems in operation and management practices. This article primarily explores whether present regulations and administrative measures are sufficient to solve the above-mentioned problems. First, this article will compare the differences and similarities between tangible and intangible goods and categorize the intangible goods (services) provided by the MLM business as well by collecting and compiling business information and operation status of the MLM enterprises. Secondly, this article will help to find the successful operational strategies and competitive superiority of the MLM enterprises by examining their operation performance. Finally, this article will help to clear the current issues and draw the following conclusions by practical studies. 1.To amend the current provisions of MLM regulations (1)To add a provision regarding the original purchase price of intangible goods; (2)To add a provision regarding rescinding a trilateral contract; (3)Judicial authorities should take charge of investigating and prosecuting pyramid schemes 2.To establish a regulation mechanism in the administrative authority (1)To supervise the MLM enterprises to pay subject to contracts; (2)To undertake an inspection project on MLM intangible goods; (3)To establish a pre-warning system (4)to set up a deposit and withdrawal mechanism of remuneration

People who want to be successful in career must be actively to get the domain knowledge of direct selling. Direct sellers may get knowledge from its organization and sales team. But, if direct sellers only learn selling skills without recruiting new partners, they may not have good performance.

The final results can provide the practitioners with some new visions and as a reference for the people who would like to engage in the career of multilevel marketing.

Most studies about commitment in Multi-level Marketing(MLM) industry were focus on dis-tributors and consumers, but among those researches about distributors, few researches diffe-rentiates the roles among them and investigate the relationship between each roles; in fact not every distributors have the same effect on the development of a MLM company, most of those MLM companies’ profit were produced by some key distributors. According to the statistical da-ta of FAIR TRADE COMMISSION, Most MLM companies’ profit growth were relate to the amount of total distributors, thus those senior distributors who early join a MLM companies must play a important role in finding new distributors and sale products, The main purpose of this research is to find out what factors might effect the decision procedure when those key distributors facing the situation when they have to choose between entrepreneurship and commitment. That is , what factor might let them stay or leave the company. Through this research I hope we can let the MLM company motivate those distributors with entrepreneurship, and at the same time they still can devote to the MLM company they participate in . After in depth interviews with few senior distributors, we find out that the factors balancing the entrepreneurship and commitment are as followed: Partnership, Role clarity, Indepen-dence ,Guanxi, Moneymaking. That means that the relationship those senior distributors looking for is partnership and independence, and they want this relationship remain, without any change, in the procedure of developing the MLM network, the role of MLM companies must stay neutral, do not try to interfere or change the relationship.

The concept of traditional western medicine towards diseases was to combat diseases, while, in the modern twenty-first century, it has been gradually transformed to be disease prevention. According to several studies, the development of domestic health food industry has been more mature and people’s attitude towards health care has been more versatile. As the demand for health food increases, its availability grows as health food companies provide more channels for consumers to purchase the heath foods they need, among which "pyramid schemes” is the most commonly used model. The objective of this study is to review the development of domestic health food industry and to explore, from the standpoint of consumers, how the multi-level marketing strategy implemented by the health food providers would influence the consumers’ awareness of the existence of targeted health food and their decision of purchases. The health food company considered in this study is the MLM company ‘Naturally-Plus ’, which I have ever worked for. Data is collected by sending out (Naturally-Plus) questionnaires at branches of located in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, and is analyzed by using statistical software SPSS. Results of demographic statistics, reliability and validity tests, factor analysis, analysis of variance, and regression models are presented. According to this study, most of the members agree that multi-level marketing strategy will be the mainstream in the marketing field, and through the implementation of it, the company can expand its relationship with the general public. Meanwhile, they hope the company could provide well-organized training program that could assist members who are interested in running the business well to better understand how to perform the strategy. As to how the members acquire the product-related information, most of them are recommended by friends and families; which means the members are highly confident with the company and the products it provides. They also suggest that the company should operate a customer-centered management strategy, besides the modification of the products and the provision of post-sale services.
