Garcia, Karine. "Impacts de la co-création sur la valeur du produit par la mesure du consentement à payer et la valeur perçue : une application à un nouveau produit alimentaire." Thesis, Montpellier, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016MONTD022.
Full textLast years, many academic and managerial studies stressed the importance of involving users in the design of new products. This focus, which is the subject of the first chapter of this doctoral work, inevitably raises the following questions: Do the companies, which implements this type of process, have an interest in informing passive consumers that their offering was co-created with their counterparts? An experimental methodology in the food sector was implemented. A real purchasing method to measure the willingness to pay (BDM protocol) has been supplemented through a multidimensional approach of perceived value. In addition, a consumption experience was introduced in this study. The results highlight that consumers at first exposure value the information. The information has a positive influence on the perceived value through the emotional components and utilitarian product outcomes. The willingness to pay follows the expected trend: respondents are willing to pay more for a product labelled designed with consumers than for the product designed solely by the company. In contrast, no effect was observed after the consumption experience. This research underlines the relevance of communicating this information when launching a new product, even if it has no effect on the consumption experience. At the end of this doctoral work, theoretical contributions to illuminate the literature on the effects of this information are highlighted. Managerial contributions are also made to the attention of marketing practitioners

Full textIn order to increase the perceived value of their offerings, companies can implement product enhancement strategies, consisting in adding new attributes to existing products. However, a literature review and an exploratory qualitative survey highlight that these marketing strategies are not always effective to improve the attractiveness of a complex product. To clarify the consequences of these innovation policies on perceived value of a product, an experiment has been carried out in the car industry. According to the results, a new attribute can only generate an additional emotional value. In contrast to this value creation, it may cause, in some cases, a decrease of the social or economic product value. Some of these effects can be explained by the perceived price and the perceived functional advantage of the added attribute. However, the perceived learning costs of the new feature don’t seem to be able to act, on the whole, on the process of enhanced complex product valuation

Full textMany studies in cognitive psychology, and more recently in marketing support the role of mental imagery. There are two research streams, the first relates to the effects of mental imagery on memorization of the subject, the second less developed, links to the effects of mental imagery on the attitudinal and behavioral responses. Analysis of the contributions and existing theories identified the presentation of a product on a website by iconic and verbal stimuli, and the type of product as imagery antecedents and as potential determinants of behavioral responses of consumers. A qualitative exploratory research is then done in order to confirm or complete the research model proposed on this basis. This work revealed several characteristics relating to the presentation of the product, and emotional and cognitive responses to imagery (respectively the anticipated emotions and the perceived value of product) and their influences on consumer behavior. Several hypothesis and a final model are then developed and empirically tested with a prospective target business partner. The results revealed that mental imagery and its emotional and cognitive responses, and the presentation of the product (iconic and verbal stimuli) and the product type (private or public consumption) influence the impulse purchase and purchase intent of consumers. Behavioral responses vary from picture-words combinations used. Academic and managerial implications are developed and several research directions are suggested

Full textIncreasingly appearing to both researchers and managers as the key determinant of consumers buying behavior, perceived value remains a barely known concept. Defined here, as the economical, sociological and emotional advantages a consumer thinks he will get from buying a product with respect to the sacrifices he will have to accept, perceived value is indeed the consumer’s individually hold, subjective, and situational evaluation of a particular product. Based on both his personal values, as well as on the product’s costs, and utilitarian, emotional and hedonic content, consumers are able to evaluate the product’s different value dimensions, independently of the product acquisition. An experimental design involving 656 participants was conducted in order to test the brand’s, price and stores, effects of on the economical, social and emotional dimensions of perceived value. It appeared that contrary to the strong brand’s equity and then perceived price’s effects (direct and indirect via perceived quality and sacrifice), the store image’s influence remained very low for all of the three products studied. The structural model also shows that brand trust and perceived risk, have significant effects on product evaluation. Finally, contrasting with the theoretical anticipations, both consumers’ product knowledge and involvement effects appeared to be relatively small

Full textOur research question resulted from acknowledging the existence of a state of tension, characterizing the consumer decision-making process for luxury brands. Many brand choices are driven by a desire from consumers to correlate their self perception, and personality, with that of the brand. However, in the specific field of luxury, it has been traditionally emphasized that motivations driving brand purchases are essentially ostentatious. We seek to explain how the motivation of consumers to establish an attachment relationship with a particular luxury brand is based on an integrative model, formed from the perception of a brand belonging to the luxury category and from the image congruence with a luxury brand. The perceived value of a luxury brand can also be influenced by individual psychological variables. Whilst some of them effectively distinguish consumers for all consumer goods, it seems they do not take into account all the particularities of the individuals’ relationship to the luxury dimension. We have developed the concept of “luxury sensitivity” to allow us to analyze the differences in consumer decision-making logic for luxury brands. The intensity of luxury sensitivity can provide us with the opportunity to understand the reasons why some consumers will choose a luxury brand that resembles them and others a brand that especially symbolizes luxury

Full textDespite extensive research on intercultural consumer innovativeness, existing literature does not cover the topic of impacts of national culture on the perceived value of innovative product attributes. This study attempts to fill this gap, by studying the perceived value of innovative attributes, with regards to high-tech products across two major European countries (Euro zone members: France and Germany) using the GLOBE intercultural model as a framework. The results are based on quantitative consumer research (N=793) using Choice Based Conjoint Analysis and the Price Sensitivity Scale.The author’s findings highlight that national culture significantly impacts three aspects of consumer attitude with regards to the launching price of high tech innovations. These three variables are: the perceived value of innovative product attributes, the importance of innovative product attributes for consumers and the price sensitivity towards innovative products. In addition, the research identifies the moderator effects of consumer income on these relations

Full textThe general goal of this thesis is the question of the consumer perceived value in the case of organic wine. More precisely, this dissertation try to answer three research questions: 1st what are the social and psychological determinants of willingness to pay for the organic attribute of a product; and 2nd how much the consumers are willing to pay for. Our main theoretical framework includes: 1st the planned behavior theory, 2nd the action phases theory, and 3th the personal value theory. Methodologically we have a classic hypothetico-deductive model approach. Our hypothesis were tested using multivariate statistics models and econometric models
Beylier, René Pierre. "Les Marques de Distributeur de terroir comme outil de légitimation de la grande distribution." Thesis, Montpellier, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016MONTD027/document.
Full textTo impose themselves on the very competitive food consumption market, mass-marketing retailers have tackled the terroir and its regional food products. Today, store-brand regional products, which contribute to differentiation, are the only products whose market share continues to grow. This phenomenon reaffirms the consumers’ increasing interest for this type of products. Regional food products are becoming a new challenge not only in regards to consumption habits but also in regards to the food industry. The first goal of the research is to show how store-brand regional products contribute to building up the legitimacy of the brand by allowing it access to the best local/regional resources in order to obtain a competitive advantage. Its second goal is to create the necessary compliance requirements, in response to the pressure from the environment which confuses and/or threatens its legitimacy and the meaning of its actions. To answer the research question, the theoretical framework mobilizes three theoretical fields: terroir/regional image concepts and consumption value, as well as relationship marketing based on the consumer’s behavior and explained in particular by satisfaction, trust and the central legitimacy component of sociological institutionalism. The mixed methodology combines both a qualitative (20 interviews) and a quantitative approach (631 persons answered the two surveys). It also demonstrates the significant positive effect of the regional image interaction – how the store-brand regional consumption value and the territorial legitimacy of the brand are perceived. The territorial legitimacy contributes to building up confidence and gives media attention to the store-brand regional image and to the perceived value of the satisfaction and the confidence towards the brand
Hémon, Georgina. "Conceptualisation de la traditionnalité perçue d’un produit alimentaire : une approche qualitative." Thesis, Angers, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018ANGE0013.
Full textTraditional food products seem to be a "new" trend. A lot of work has been done to define what is a traditional product. However, we observe from the literature review in management that traditional food product is a fuzzy concept, which lacks of precision. Besides we can not know precisely what the consumer perceives as raditional in food product. In order to provide a different point of view, we are interested in understanding the traditional elements perceived in the food product. We mobilize a literature review in the social sciences in order to bring clarity and structure to perceived traditionality of food product. Our data collection uses several qualitative methods. To give a new vision of what is perceived as traditional, we make an analysis using the Grounded Theory. Through the results of this analysis, we propose four dimensions of traditionality. We perform a methodological triangulation of the data by statistical analysis of textual data. Our results are conclusive. The perceived traditionality of a food product is an experiential concept, with four dimensions: process, dynamics, identity and ritual. This structuring brings clarity in theoretical terms. It opens up ways for the development of measurement tools. In managerial terms, the highlighting of the perceived traditionality of a food product and the elaboration or consumer experience offers development opportunities to producers
Manocha, Raghav. "Effect of consumption-context and product attributes on social value perception of luxury clothes for Indian female consumers." Thesis, Paris 1, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020PA01E001.
Full textThis study conducted among young Indian females, sheds light on the importance of consumption-context and apparel attributes in determining the social value perception of a luxury dress. The study analyzes the perceived social fit of a luxury dress as a function of two factors: First, a context-related factor comprises the type of event (traditional or modern), and the people who are present at the event (peers or elders). Second, an attribute-related factor refers to the perceived design origin (Indian or Western or Indo-western), and the modesty of the dress (modest or revealing). As a result of collectivistic orientations of Indian society, wearing a contextually-fit luxury dress helps earn more prestige in one’s group and will help gain high social value. The literature review analyzes the importance of the perceived social value for a luxury outfit in India, in the Indian context of luxury apparel, evolving along traditional design and global influence. In the Indian collectivist culture, Indian females give priority to the usage context when they choose a luxury garment. We propose a conceptual framework derived from the literature.In the empirical work, we started analyzing 24 semi–structured interviews of young Indian females. This qualitative study helped to better understand the choice process of a luxury garment. Next, an experiment was carried out with 994 Indian females. In this within-subjects experiment, each subject had to assess the social fit of six dresses, for each of four representative events of Indian society. The six dresses varied in design (Indian, Indo-western, Western) and in modesty (modest or revealing). The four events varied in modernity (traditional versus modern) and in company (with peers, or with elders).Many main effects are significant. For example, Indian dresses have higher perceived social fit than Indo-western and Western dresses; Indo-western dresses have higher perceived social fit than Western dresses; and modest dresses have higher perceived social fit than revealing dresses. Among interaction effects, for an event with elders, an Indian dress has a higher perceived social fit than Western and Indo-western dresses, whereas for an event with peers, a Western luxury dress has a higher perceived social fit. During a modern social occasion, a revealing luxury dress has a higher perceived social fit than a modest dress, whereas during a traditional event, a modest dress has a higher perceived social fit than a revealing dress. Unexpectedly, Indo-western dresses score higher in perceived social fit than Western dresses for a modern social occasion. The research suggests a number of managerial implications. Western luxury houses should take into account the context in which the dress will be worn. For example, in a so called “modern” event, we suggest to infuse Western elements in Indian dresses. Western houses can also tailor Western dresses, to Indian dress attributes such as modesty (i.e., respecting the parts of body that should be hidden in India), and textiles and colors liked in India. Indian designers should hold on to and strengthen their forte – traditional craftsmanship and dress-materials. However, they may innovate by infusing selected Western elements in their Indian models

Full textFunctional foods are conventional products that contain additional bioactive compound targeting physiological benefits beyond basic nutritional value. Previous research regarding the health nutrition consumption widely focused on the cognitive features of reasoned decisional process to explain consumer acceptance. Bearing on experiential perspective, the purpose of the present study is to provide an in-depth analysis of functional food consumption by exploring the multidimensional approach of consumer perceived value (utilitarian, hedonistic and symbolic). A primary literature review allowed determining the factors which might affect consumption experience (typology of value components, variables related to consumer, product characteristics and personality traits). An exploratory qualitative survey which mixed interviews with diary and questionnaire was carried out in order to verify research proposals. Finally, following an empirical validation of a perceived value scale, an integrative conceptual model was elaborated and tested through a quantitative survey. This explanatory frame highlighted the underlying relationships between the perceived value of functional food consumption, its predictors, its moderators and its effects (repurchasing intention). Results showed that experiential framework gives a relevant insight into the affective pattern of functional food consumption that emerges from an interaction between the consumer and the product

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to understand more broadly the value of mass-customization from a consumer viewpoint. Based on the conceptual framework of Aurier and al. (2004) , we stated three research questions : why and on which dimensions consumers value mass-customization? (2) How and under what conditions do these components influence global perceived value? What are the individual and contextual variables that influence the perceived value of mass-customization? Based on a qualitative study and on a litterature review, two components of perceived value are differentiated: (1) mass-customized product value, which is reflected in three dimensions: utilitarian, uniqueness and self-expressiveness value; and (2) experiential co-design value, which is reflected in two dimensions: hedonic and creative achievement value. Then, a quantitative study was performed in a laboratory setting, where respondents were put into a mass-customization experience on the Nike Id website. Our results underline the indirect impact of the experiential value of co-design on total perceived value, through mediation of mass-customized product value. In addition, we identify the independent contribution of each dimension of product and experiential value on global perceived value. Finally, we analyzed the influence of two contextual variables - the extend of mass customization and the extend of complexity, and of five individual variables: risk, expertise, involvement, optimal stimulation level and need for uniqueness - on the value components of mass-customization

Full textThe current context in which the retailers operate is characterized by many transformations due to increased competition, an economic crisis characterized by a decline in purchasing power and, particularly, by changes in consumer behavior. Responses to these developments, retailers have evolved their product orientation to the relationship with new stores’ offers. The objective of this research is to show how a customer perceives the value of the shopping experience and to what extent it can influence his loyalty to the brand. A scale measuring the perceived value of the shopping experience was developed and tested in the context of French retailing with 371 customers. It highlights four aspects of perceived value: the utilitarian value, hedonic value, social value and altruistic value. Our results show that the value of the shopping experience has an impact of behavioral loyalty towards the retail brand

Full textThis doctoral research studies the impact of the brand on consumer behavior. The thesis puts forward an explanatory conceptual model of the value of the brand information and looks to respond to two questions that have scarcely been touched on. Firstly, we examine the impact of the brand both on the evaluation of the perceived attributes and on the overall preference, depending on whether products belong to search or experience categories. Secondly, we analyze the impact of the advertising in the increase of the value of the brand information, distinguishing between emotional and informational advertisements. The results of two experiments prove that the product category and the type of advertising do have an effect on brand equity as does the interaction of the two factors

Full textThe purpose of this research is to identify the informational contents that carry the evocation of the terroir in order to consider their effects on the perception of quality and consumer’s intentions for food products. Although regularly mobilized by the professional sector, this concept was neither consensual nor well- defined from the consumer’s point of view. The prerequisites of our research, representing a first contribution, was to specify the area, the dimensions and the product of the terroir in the food field. From then on, we constructed a psychometric scale of perceived terroirity measure. Consisting of 6 dimensions and 23 items, it allows to measure the characteristics associated with the terroir by the consumer. The second contribution of our research is to assess the effects of this global construct and of each of its dimensions on the perceived quality and on the consumer’s intentions for the food product of the terroir. The third contribution is to have been able to identify the variables moderating significant to be tested in future researches. Wine is a specific product within the French food sector but it is also the first product evocated when consumers think of local products. The fourth contribution was to replicate all the investigative work by applying it to the case of wine. In addition to a different structuring of the dimensions of perceived terroirity, the results indicate differences in terms of effects and moderating variables for wine (level of expertise, knowledge and interest in the product). Through a mixed approach with, on the one hand, semi-structured qualitative interviews with respondents belonging to all French regions, and on the other hand, two surveys in opinion of 1015 consumers in France, this research relies both on the use of innovative research tools in marketing (ADT software "Le Trameur", Macro Process of Hayes, 2013), as well as on robust tools and methods known (AFE, AFC, structural equations models). In view of the demonstrations of increased efforts intentions, monetary and behavioral, for product of terroir, the contributions of the research leads to obtain a clarified base for the actors of the food chain to guide their actions as strategic and communicational. At the same time, this almost systematic trust attributed to the terroir’s mention allows to open the debate on the security of the guarantees and the legitimacy of the commercial affirmations. Faced with the profusion of evocations and terminologies referring to infraregional territorial anchorage, it is a question of considering public policies of protection and information of the consumer to avoid the possibility of excessive use of the term "terroir"

It proposes to integrate this innovative concept as a new outcome variable in the models conceptualising tourism’s behaviors. It also shows the influence of consumer value and customer value in creating an engagement towards the destination and the moderating effects of the experience on those same relationships. The research has three objectives: (1) define the concept of CE in the context of destinations, its dimensions and its measurement, (2) conceptualize the perceived value in the context of destinations, (3) measure the influences of the dimensions of consumer valeur and customer value on EC depending on experience. The methodology is based on two empirical studies: an exploratory qualitative study conducted among 15 tourists in Reunion via interviews and a quantitative exploratory study conducted among 572 individuals: 350 novices who had never visited the destination but familiar with it and 222 experienced having actually visited the destination for leisure / vacation. The studies concern Reunion Island, qualified as a SDI (Small Destination Island)

Full textThis research deals with the overall perceived value of digital offers. The main objective is to identify the determinants of this perception. Despite the growing importance of digital offers in today's economy, few studies have been conducted on this subject. In addition, previous researches were often limited to the study of the impact of digitalization on some specific components of perceived value, without including them into a holistic framework. The literature review conducted as part of this research, combined with the results of an exploratory qualitative study, has led to propose a theoretical model which was assessed through a quantitative survey among 454 respondents. The results show that valuation of digital offers is essentially based on negative aspects such as perceived risk and perceived costs, putting away the positive sources of perceived value, such as the perceived benefits. The specific roles of perceived intangibility and price have also been highlighted

Full textIn our research we studied the different approaches leading to enhance the loyalty of the consumer. We have scrutinized the relationship marketing and the loyalty effect that can be enhanced by the mediator role of perceived value on the loyalty of the consumer. In our field of study we focused on the leaders of Lebanese enterprises, holding a bank account. We took into consideration the effects of the relationship orientation and the mediator role by which it can have an influence on the fidelity of these leaders. We also took into consideration that, for decades Lebanon has been facing different and consecutive crises, we studied the effects of such a situation upon the decision taking of the leaders of Lebanese enterprises. We showed the importance of the mediator role of the perceived value, the effects of the crises situation, and the influence of the personal data related to these leaders over their decision taking. In a final step we evaluated the results of the study and proposed a possible approach to the problem of loyalty of the enterprises’ leaders in regard of their bank accounts

Full textThe goal of our research is to comprehend the proximity between people and foods they eat. First of all, reviews of the literature and a qualitative study based on interviews of 40 people have allowed demonstrating that the concept of proximity is multifaceted, and explicit and implicit as well. A quantitative survey conducted on 277 people allowed to build a proximity measurement tool. The scale grouping 45 items around 14 dimensions namely, culture, childhood, traceability, local, pleasure, habit, expertise, identity, uniqueness, value, health, nostalgia, conviviality and dependence. In another calisson related quantitative study conducted at the Museum of the calisson in Aix-en-Provence, France, the proximity measurement tool was tested and validated. It showed that the proximity comes after the acceptance via the initial trust of consumers and can discriminate them based on the dimensions of proximity they look for. A new-calisson related survey of 481 French people was conducted online during the first trimester of 2016. This survey helped to confirm the local scale in the case of a new product and to test our research model as well. These studies allow, through structural equations, to test the impact of different forms of proximity on the initial trust and acceptability. This corroborates the predictive power of proximity. The results show that the initial trust is a partial mediator between the proximity and the acceptability

Full textWhile the literature suggests that a socially responsible organization achieves better financial performance (Margolis and Walsh, 2003), marketing research has not reached consensus on this virtuous relationship from a consumer perspective (Chernev and Blair, 2015). Due to contingency factors, a socially responsible organization would not necessarily be perceived by consumers as a guarantee to better offerings. This research integrates the organization’s perceived mode of governance as a new contingency factor, distinguishing between stock firms and cooperatives. A first study highlights the moderating role of governance on the implicit attitudes of consumers in terms of corporate social responsibility –CSR– and performance of the offering: cooperatives (versus stock firms) are less (versus more) associated with not being socially responsible and less (versus more) associated with being efficient. Studies 2 (qualitative approach) and 3 (experimental design) evaluate the impact of governance on the effectiveness of CSR-related or performance-related marketing communication arguments. The buying intention of consumers is stronger when a CSR-related marketing communication argument is used by a cooperative as opposed to a stock firm

Full textThis research explores the services offered by networked firms and the way in which they are perceived by the customers. Nowadays customers are facing more and more often complex service situations which drastically differ from the simple situations traditionally analysed by service marketing and management studies (a single service delivered by a well identified single firm deliberately chosen by the consumer). Service firms now propose more and more complex and enriched offerings (service "flowers", "bunches" or "constellations") grouping several providers, but among them some are hardly identifiable by the customer. Consumers' decision is made simpler but a part of their liberty of choice has been lost. Little is known about the consequences this can have on their future behaviour.The main hypothesis is that after experiencing a service delivered by networked firms, the consumers synthesize all their perceptions in terms of the perceived value of the network; furthermore, this assessment will largely determine their behavioural intentions. A quantitative survey shows that such a hypothesis can be accepted. This survey was conducted in the field of airline industry, aiming at multi-lateral airline alliances. This context is particularly appropriate to our subject because during such a travel, services are delivered to passengers by independent airline companies as well as by the common organisation in charge of the co-ordination and co-operation. The structural equations model tested using the PLS-SEM method also identifies the determinants of perceived value of an alliance in the specific context of long haul flights and their respective weights and contributions

Full textThis exploratory investigates and compares the perceived value of the opera consumption experience in theatres and in streaming. The rise of digital technologies now makes it possible for customers to consume the same product through a physical or a virtual channel. The question of competition and of the complementarity of online channels with physical structures has become a key issue for companies and understanding the link between physical and virtual experiences has become a major research issue, all the more that exceptional situations such as the lockdown period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have shown how important it is for spectators to be able to watch streamed operas. From a theoretical point of view, one may also wonder whether the framework used to apprehend the consumption experience in the real domain is applicable to the virtual domain, given the upheavals that the experience has undergone as a result of the digital revolution. We took an exploratory qualitative approach, followed by a quantitative study to answer these questions. The results obtained indicate a relative convergence between the two perceived values but raise questions about the nature of the audience concerned by streaming. Our research also confirms that perceived value is an antecedent of overall perceived value and behavioral intentions, in both the real and virtual spheres. However, only certain dimensions of the perceived value influence the overall perceived value and/or the behavioral intentions; they differ according to the mode of consumption concerned. Finally, our results confirm that overall perceived value is an antecedent of behavioural intentions in both universes

Full textThe constant decline of individual shareholders is a French puzzle. French households participate feebly in equity markets. Companies find it difficult to attract new individual investors, even though they are valued for their loyalty and commitment. A share is a financial and image products that provides a sustainable source of finance for businesses, retirement systems, and long-term investments. Financial and investment decisions are framed by modern finance and behavioral finance. Although they are contradictory on their founding assumptions, these streams share the same conception of the intrinsic value of a financial asset, an objective value determined essentially by the monetary attributes, thus limiting the individual in his choices and decisions. Our research explores the behavior of the individual investor through applying the conceptual framework of the perceived value developed by the marketing literature. We propose an individual investor's stock behavior model to examine the relationship between stock attributes and perceived benefits. This model allows understanding the process of the formation of the perceived value of the individual investor, which determines his decision to buy shares. Our exploratory approach uses a mixed method to study the context of the French individual shareholder holding registered shares. The results highlight the existence of families of shares’ attributes, a typology of perceived benefits, and links between attributes and benefits that exhibiting individual investor profiles. Our research sheds new light on the individual investor's decision-making and buying process, and offers financial marketers a segmentation of individual investors based on the perceived benefits, allowing them to tailor their financial products and services offerings towards this target

Full textCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been studied by academics and business leaders and they have proven that consumers develop a positive attitude towards companies that behave in socially responsible ways. However, they also suggest that CSR communication is subject to consumer scepticism. This implies that organizations and brands while communicating about their CSR activities may have the risk to be encountered with consumers' disbelieve. Furthermore, the previous global economic crisis limits CSR effectiveness due to consumer's concerns regarding their purchasing power. As a result, customers may feel guilty or unable to pay for products coming from engaged enterprises, which are considered sometimes by consumers as premium products. Moreover, a large body of research on CSR communication discusses the effectiveness of the message content and the efficiency on communication channels, within the case of multinational enterprises. However, there is little research linking CSR communication in the case of SME and perceived value and trust, whereas the topic of SME is an important research issue for national or international governmental entities. Also, the lack of empirical research on this issue is surprising, as perceived value and trust are considered by researchers as natural antecedents of customers brand loyalty ((Holbrook, 1994, 1999; Sirieix and Dubois, 1999; Frisou, 2000; Chaudhuri and Holbrook, 2001; Aurier, et al.,2001). As a result, this work aims to fill this gap in order to better understand the effects of socially responsible communication on two dimensions of perceived value: social value and ethical value and consumers' trust. In order to enhance understanding with regards to our research question: “What is the influence of CSR communication on perceived value and trust”, a qualitative research was conducted with consumers and practitioners. Additionally, an experiment has been conducted in which the level of CSR involvement from an SME in the food industry has been manipulated. A set of four different printed ad magazines has been considered as stimuli and communication channel for the experiment: one with an environmental message, with a social message, message or with a mix of these two messages together (social and environmental) or a control message. An online survey is conducted to a heterogeneous sample of consumers (n=645) Results reveal an interest for the SME to communicate prioritary through their environmental engagements. Results suggest that the environmental message is not only more effective on the ethical and social value perception but on consumers trust as well. Also, neither scepticism nor consumer's purchasing power concern show to moderate the positive effect between the CSR communications on perceived value and trust. The originality of the research lies in the consideration of the perceived value theory on the CSR communication research. More generally, the conceptualization and the study of perceived value on CSR communication highlight a more efficient CSR communication strategy between consumers and the SME

Full textNumber of researchers call to reconsider communication for development and social change, as a problem of techniques and society. Thus, the models of social integration of innovations are used here to study how the new development support components are accepted and appropriated by their users in developing countries, notably in Central Asia (Turkmenistan). There is no need to prove anymore that users’ reception and appropriation is critical to the development programs effectiveness. Hence, we synthesize the Anglo-Saxon and French models and distinguish the common determinant axes for the innovation reception: before its actual use (acceptance models) and after it (cognitive appropriation models). It appears to be the mental construction of the meaning of use: the user mobilizes his representations « already there » and his imaginary to assess the associated functional and symbolic benefits-costs, the anticipated and perceived use experience. In the literature, this mental construction process appears as the formation of the Perceived Value of Use (Jouet; Mallein, Toussaint and coll.; Boenisch; Assude et al.; Nelson; Kim et al.). However, it would be necessary to further investigate this process. We explore this concept in detail in our qualitative multi-site case study, conducted within one of the SME support components in Turkmenistan. As result, we model the role of the Perceived Value of Use for the acceptance and the appropriation of the new services of social utility, as well as its mental formation on the organisational users’ side

Full textIn a competitive environment and with constantly changing lifestyle and consumption habits, the hotel industry offer, and the services built around accommodation and catering as we know its today, do not guaranty the attractiveness, or the profitability, that is needed for this sector to remain sustainable. The modeling of a "new" hotel industry is necessary to meet customer expectations while taking into account the costs and operating constraints, particularly the "hotel industry service" playing a key role in the production and distribution processes of the service as well as in the quality perceived by the customer. The determinants of the hotel operational performance have evolved in different cycles turning the "modern" into "traditional".This thesis begins with the exploration of these developments in mid-ranged hotels in France through a field study conducted in twelve hotels and the headquarters of the AccorHotels group in France. This step, questioning the future of mid-ranged hotels in France, raised research questions wondering about the importance of the staff in the production of mid-ranged hotels products and services in our society, and more broadly, the importance of the human capital (in the microeconomic meaning) in the hotel industry.We decided to explore the links between staff and the hotel operational performance. This performance is composed of economic results, the quality perceived by the customers as well as parameters related to the context of the hotels. Based on an in-depth study of all the methodologies and measures of human capital, we chose to measure it through employee engagement at work, using a sample of 146 mid-range hotels (representing 3740 employees) of the AccorHotels group in France. We also measured, for each hotel, a set of context data (size, location, customer mix, level of digitization, renovations...), the operating result (Earnings Before Interest Taxes), the number of business per room available (RevPar) and a measure of the quality perceived by customers (Reputation Performance Score).This thesis shows the links between the operating result per room, the quality perceived by customers and the commitment of employees to work. We will develop their respective antecedents as well as the nature of their cross-statistical relationships.This thesis prooves that as a significant precedent of the quality perceived by the customers (itself an antecedent of the operating result), the commitment of the collaborators into their work is instrumental in order to obtain a better performance for the mid-ranged hotels in France. To go further, the identification of a typology of hotels based on these links makes us able to obtain simultaneously a global and a segmented view of the mid-range hotel business in France and the role by type of hotels of staff in order to reach a higher performance

Full textDesign of branded products involves consideration of both perceptual aspects of the product appearance (related to consumers’ evaluation and emotions and the brand values) as well as the technical and engineering aspects including manufacturing feasibility, performances, and cost. Within a multidisciplinary design context, product designers and engineering designers need to collaborate and communicate together to achieve a satisfactory product that is emotionally appealing to the consumers and is technically performing the intended functions, and is feasible to manufacture. However, such collaboration between product designers and engineering designers is difficult due to their different knowledge background, work approaches and responsibilities during the design process. This research deals with the questions of how to support the communication between product designers and engineering designers and how to support the integration of the engineering viewpoint earlier in the design process of branded product. Proposition and evaluation of three potential approaches to support communication between product designers and engineering designers is investigated in this research. Likewise an integration approach is proposed following the three steps of modeling, transforming and integrating the engineering knowledge to design knowledge. The results of this research contribute to the SKIPPI project, in the development of a software to support idea generation and the decision-making in the upstream design phase

Full textNowadays, the problem of physical inactivity is one of the major global issues and it is considered by the WHO and the UN as the leading cause of mortality due to non-communicable diseases. At the same time, although the physical exercise has proven to be the best way to fight against these sicknesses, most of the consumers evoke a series of barriers against the adoption of regular exercise.The purpose of this thesis is to propose alternative approaches based on the concept of perceived value in marketing which has proven to be a good tool to motivate and retain consumers in the frame of other types of goods and services.We focused on the sources of consumer perceived value in personalized marketing, community marketing and experiential marketing, the aspects of which were integrated in a combinatorial approach, the aim of this method being to propose the concept of the exercise composite variable as a trade-off between costs and benefits.We confirmed that the perceived values of the different composites of the practice of exercise combined to form the overall perceived value of the exercise. In addition, we also confirmed that this overall perceived value of the exercise ultimately influenced the consumer’s intent to practice regular exercise and to recommend it.The results of this research allowed us to suggest that the offer of exercise should be made as à la carte menu in order to facilitate consumers’ decision-making process and so to motivate and to retain them

And we tries to conduct the research on this fundamental question: what are the determinants mechanism of the perceived value and satisfaction of mobile and their effects on loyalty. The main objective of this research is therefore to identify and understand the key factors that contribute to consumer loyalty to mobile commerce in a retail context. For this, we clarified the specific content of mobile commerce consumer loyalty, and built a research model to explain loyalty. In order to clarify how consumers perceive and evaluate mobile commerce, we conducted a qualitative exploratory study through semi-structured interviews and content analysis with Nvivo 11. Thanks to the qualitative analysis, we proposed the research model with relevant variables. This research uses Partial Least Squares (PLS) for the Structural Equation Model (SEM) to test the research model and hypothesis

Full textTo investigate on the question of the formation of the economic magnitudes, and on the question of value seems to be pointless, since those notions appear to be understood and to fall under the scope of our daily experiment. We show in the present work that several fundamental concepts and central notions do not receive a proper definition within our discipline. As a consequence, it is all the economic discourse that is weakened, at such a point that it talks about things that, actually, do not exist, but in the economist’s mind, and do not consider its true matter. In our wage economy, value is sometimes created sometimes destructed respectively in the formation and the destruction of income. The latter is an objective magnitude in the sense that it confers to its owner the tangible ability to buy goods and services. We thus make sure that income unifies the two opposite operations that are production and consumption, and that it is the true object of the economic science. We also insure that income is a monetary by naturee, and cannot be expressed in “real” terms; value is not hidden behind things. In a second time, we see that income is measured, and that its objectivity comes from the fact that it is measured. In economics, measure is specific since the unit of measurement is monetary and by no mean physical. The operation of measurement happens in the payment of wages to the benefit of the employees. By showing that product is “born” in the same operation by which it is measured, we are leading to a strong conclusion: all income is derived from wages

Full textConsumer wants, through his or her consumption, to eliminate any negative effects and maximize the long-term beneficial impact on the society. This type of consume is known as socially responsible consumption. There exist a large body of literature on this concept in Western countries, but relatively few studies focused on countries in Asia in general and Vietnam in particular. This doctoral has two main aims. The first aim was to build a socially responsible consumption scale in the context of Vietnam. The second one was to propose and validate a consumer decision-making model regarding socially responsible consumption in a perspective of values in which cultural orientations, human values, perceived consumer effectiveness and perceived value directly and indirectly influence on consumer behavior. Our thesis highlights a socially responsible consumption structure in five facets: social orientation, ethical orientation, environmental awareness, local consumption and anxiety of economy with three Vietnamese typical behaviors. Modeling structural equations allows to partially validating the proposed model. Indeed, the vertical collectivism indirectly influences the socially responsible consumption via social-oriented values that are themselves directly influence the socially responsible consumption and indirectly influences the latter, via the perceived consumer effectiveness and perceived value. However, the consumer decision process is not the same between the two socially responsible consumer studied facets

Full textThe general purpose of this thesis is to analyze the different types of values that determine and explain the choices and behavior of consumers with a particular focus on innovative products. Specifically, we want to know whether consumers are willing to pay for innovative products with sustainable features and how consumer preferences and characteristics of the product are involved in the process of the decision-making. In addition, we test new methods for such estimations.In the Chapter 1 we claim that individual preferences are reflected in willingness to pay for a product/service and are based on individual’s values. These values are stable for each individual, guide his/her preferences and actions as an individual (personal values) and as an economic agent (customer and consumer values). With the focus on the consumption of innovative and sustainable products, this thesis discusses also environmental and innovative values.The importance of value analysis for innovative products is of a high importance for companies, because it allows to anticipate preferences and their changes, and by this, helps to define the priorities of new product development processes.The complex systems of these values result in particular challenges for the estimation, discussed in Chapter 2. Therefore, the accuracy of WTP estimates depends on the choice of the method used by the researcher.The obtained results show that consumers have positive valuations of innovative products with sustainable characteristics. These valuations are based on consumers preferences and values inherent to him/her are an individual and as a consumer. The empirical studies presented in Chapters 3 and 4 offer two experimental approaches, which contribute to the understanding of consumer behavior towards innovative products and to the understanding of the difficulties and challenges for experimental methods of preference elicitation for these products/services. In addition, they demonstrate the validity of value theory in consumer behavior

Full textThe current industrial world is facing frequent changes, which are sometimes abrupt. This is due to the scientific and technical progresses and increasingly challenging needs of customers. Therefore, to deal with these disruptions and ensure competitiveness, manufacturers are developing methods to control and improve their processes for greater performance. Lean management is one of such methods that has proven its effectiveness in controlling and improving process (especially in manufacturing process). However, the Product Development Process (PDP) remains one of the most important industrial challenges, since it is where PDP actors take the major decisions related to strategy, organization, delay, development and manufacturing costs. That is why methods to control and improve this process have to be developed. Nevertheless, the PDP complexity makes direct application of existing Lean methods difficult. Thus, this research project aims at proposing a methodology for controlling and improving the PDP based on a Lean approach in order to manage the creation and the transformation of the value in this process. This methodology adapts especially the first two principles of Lean, namely the definition of value and its mapping in the given process. We so propose a framework for defining value that can be adapted to the evolutions of the company’s strategy. This definition tries to exhaustively take into account all the PDP stakeholders, so that the value is shared by everyone. We also propose a value mapping tool for the PDP, which complies with PDP specificities and proposed value definition.All these research works have been tested in the industrial partner, Exxelia Technologies
