Our objective was to understand how effective a firm is in attracting its target customers. To do this, we developed a model that relates a firm’s marketing activities to the mix of customers buying from the firm. Most marketing models simply ask how a firm’s marketing activities influence the number of customers buying the brand. We asked how a firm’s marketing activities influence the kinds of customers buying the brand.

Should Robotic Warehouses Consider Customer Fairness?

Robotic warehouses have transformed logistics, prioritizing speed and efficiency. However, traditional static priority systems often leave low-priority customers facing excessive delays, raising concerns about fairness. This research, based on Invia, a robotic warehouse company, proposes a dynamic priority allocation model to balance efficiency and fairness. By adjusting order priorities over time, this approach ensures that both high-priority and long-waiting low-priority orders receive timely fulfillment. Through stochastic modeling and simulations, we demonstrate that dynamic prioritization reduces delays compared to static and first-come, first-served (FCFS) models. Case studies in e-commerce and healthcare logistics illustrate the broader impact of fairness in automation. As industries increasingly rely on AI-driven decision-making, the balance between efficiency and equity becomes critical. This research challenges the assumption that robotic warehouses should optimize for speed alone and advocates for a future where fairness plays a central role in automated commerce.

Greenwashing: The Post-Pandemic Shift

Dans un contexte économique sans précédent marqué par une pandémie mondiale, l’entrelacement complexe du discours sur le greenwashing à l’ère des fake news s'est intégré au tissu de la durabilité d’entreprise, remodelant les perceptions des managers et mettant à l’épreuve leur attitude face aux décisions durables. À travers une étude qualitative en deux phases, cette recherche examine l’impact du discours sur le greenwashing sur les perceptions et attitudes des managers vis-à-vis de la durabilité en France après la pandémie. Les résultats révèlent une déconnexion entre le discours externe sur le greenwashing et l’état d’esprit des managers, ces derniers associant souvent les accusations de greenwashing aux « fake news ». De plus, l’étude montre que la pandémie a déplacé l’attention vers les préoccupations financières, reléguant la durabilité au second plan dans la prise de décision stratégique et modifiant ainsi le paysage de la responsabilité d’entreprise. En allant au-delà du cadre habituel centré sur les consommateurs et les clients, cette étude vise à combler un vide critique dans la recherche sur le greenwashing en examinant son impact sur différents acteurs. À travers cette analyse, nous cherchons à contribuer aux recherches sur le discours du greenwashing en offrant une compréhension plus approfondie des complexités et des nuances entourant les perceptions managériales de ce discours et des initiatives de durabilité dans une époque marquée par des défis sans précédent.

The impact of legal uncertainties on innovating HR practices in developing countries

This study explores the influence of legal uncertainties on the process of innovating human resources (HR) practices in developing countries. Through a case study focused on introducing remote work within Kazakhstan’s Technical Gas Industry during a healthcare crisis, we examine the multifaceted challenges and opportunities that emerge when navigating a complex legal landscape. Our findings reveal that legal uncertainties, stemming from inadequacies in legislation and the tightness of norms, significantly impede the ability to adapt and modernize HR practices during crises. Furthermore, the criticality of the company’s position within the industry, combined with a low degree of legal enforcement, underscores the concept of ‘responsibilization’ among HR professionals. This phenomenon compels HR practitioners to assume greater responsibility and make strategic decisions that occasionally push the boundaries of existing laws and regulations. In this context, we propose a novel conceptualization of responsibilization, distinct from empowerment, as it involves embracing negative legal consequences associated with proactive decision-making during crises. This study contributes significantly to our understanding of how legal uncertainties influence the process of HR innovation in developing countries, highlighting the intricate interplay between regulatory frameworks, crisis management, and organizational transformation.

Towards Net Zero Emissions

Corporate venture capital (CVC) plays a pivotal role in driving innovation. Our study offers compelling evidence that integrating sustainability into CVC strategies benefits not only the environment but also enhances long-term financial performance. Through CVC programs, corporate parents innovate by creating and executing new business models, leveraging both incremental and radical innovation. The concept of “innovation compensation” serves as a catalyst for encouraging corporations to adopt ecologically sustainable practices.

What is a Virtual Influencer?

Virtual influencers are 100% Computer Generated Influencers created by AI and 3D artists. These virtual influences can model, sing, and even interact with fans—without ever existing in real life. Despite the risks of virtual influencers (e.g., lack of authenticity, ethical and transparency concerns, etc.), they represent enormous opportunities for brands.

Less marketing for a better world !

Marketing seems to be slow to fully recognize its role, place and responsibility in changes in climate, biodiversity and resources. This reluctance can be attributed, at least in part, to the implicit assumptions of sustainable marketing, which tend to minimize the scale of the paradigm shifts needed to remain hopeful of a habitable planet. Consequently, the dominant approaches to “sustainable marketing” find it difficult to question the fundamental principles and ideological foundations of the market system. This is why we are calling for radical changes in marketing research in order to envisage a truly sustainable future. We are therefore formulating a program based on five proposals with the aim of inviting profound transformations in the discipline.

Why should I not complain? User justice and satisfaction

Online shopping satisfaction hinges on two major factors: “fairness and security.” Customers want fair pricing, transparent processes, and respectful treatment—what researchers call distributive, procedural, and interactional “justice.”
