The use of AI and IoT is leading to fundamental changes that affect our daily lives. Smart homes have emerged. The objective of this study is to understand the acceptance and resistance factors of smart homes by combining the UTAUT theory with the theories of regulatory focus, uses and gratifications, and technology readiness. Data are collected in France, Germany and China. The results show that consumers pursue 2 types of complementary objectives when making decisions about smart home adoption: utilitarian, focused on prevention, and affective, focused on well-being. Technological security positively influences the confidence and well-being provided by smart homes, which in turn influences adoption intent.

Baby, you can drive my car: Antecedents that drive consumers’ adoption of AI-powered autonomous vehicle

Les véhicules autonomes (VA) basés sur l'intelligence artificielle (IA) constituent l'une des avancées technologiques les plus attendues de notre époque, avec des implications sociales très importantes en termes de sécurité des conducteurs/passagers et d'aspects environnementaux. Cependant, la plupart des consommateurs sont réticents à l'adoption de ces VA. Nous analysons, à l'aide d'une enquête menée en France, l'adoption de VA basés sur l’IA, afin de comprendre les facteurs psychologiques, sociaux et cognitifs. Nous montrons qu'il existe une relation positive entre l'adoption de VA et les attentes en matière de performance, facilité d’usage, la reconnaissance sociale, le bien-être, l'hédonisme, la confiance dans la technologie, ainsi que la sécurité.

Does big data management impacts marketing and firm performance

Despite being the object of much interest, deep insights regarding why and when investments in big data resources enhance firm performance are lacking in the literature. Building on the resource based view and survey data from 301 senior marketing managers, this study reveals that big data resources improve firm performance by enhancing their market-directed capabilities. A complementary balance of IT infrastructure, human capital through data scientists, and “customer orientation” is necessary for effective BDR management and the impact on firm performance. In addition, firms pursuing a differentiation rather than cost leadership strategy gain most from big data resource investments and that such resources improve by in average 13 % the performance of firms.

How Social Robots Mitigate Emotional and Social Loneliness

Loneliness is a widespread concern among older adults, profoundly affecting their well-being. Social robots—designed to engage in social interactions and form emotional connections—are increasingly perceived as social actors in human-robot relationships and offer promising potential to alleviate loneliness. This study examines how older adults interact with social robots to address different forms of loneliness and enhance their subjective well-being. Across a pilot correlational study and two experiments, the results reveal two distinct mechanisms through which social robots improve well-being: attachment for individuals experiencing emotional loneliness and social integration for those facing social loneliness. This research contributes to the literature on loneliness, transformative consumer research, and human–robot interaction.

Activity Engagement Purchases and Happiness

This research develops a new conceptual framework based on use intention for classifying purchases. Accordingly, it moves past the dominant material vs. experiential dichotomy as well as adding a third purchase type: activity engagement purchases, which are defined as purchases that support sustained consumer activities overtime. This new typology is empirically examined to understand how different purchase types contribute to consumer happiness. Activity engagement purchases emerge as a conceptually and empirically distinct type of purchase that consumers can readily classify and recall. Activity engagement purchases also generate greater happiness than material or experiential ones – which is found to be driven by their ability to fulfill consumers’ competency needs and facilitate value expression.

Managing the client portfolio for long-term survival

Our goal was to understand the effectiveness of a company in attracting its customer targets. To do this, we have developed a model that links a company’s marketing activities to the mix of customers who buy from the company. Most marketing models simply ask how a company’s marketing activities influence the number of customers who buy the brand. We wondered how a company’s marketing activities influence the types of customers who buy the brand.
