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.

Unpacking User Adaptation: Technology implementation and usage context in a new coping matrix

Our research investigates how management interventions can facilitate user adaptation to new information technology across implementation stages and usage contexts. Drawing on the Coping Model of User Adaptation, we propose a 2×2 coping framework, showing that tailored interventions—such as training, user participation, feedback handling, and change fairness—differently shape users’ beliefs (perceived usefulness and ease of use) and coping mechanisms. Empirical studies in both mandatory (police officers) and voluntary (university students) settings confirm that communal coping dominates in mandatory contexts while individual coping prevails in voluntary ones. Pre-implementation beliefs strongly influence post-implementation perceptions, and deep usage significantly enhances user performance and satisfaction. The study offers theoretical insights into adaptive processes and practical guidance for managers aiming to improve IT implementation success.

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.
