Unfavourable weather has an impact on sales of consumer goods. It is now possible to insure manufacturers and retailers against this risk. To do this, we identify the climate variables that have the greatest influence on sales. Next, the financial risk associated with changes in these variables is assessed. Finally, it is possible to hedge this risk using financial instruments or insurance policies. These techniques are valid for all products whose sales vary greatly depending on the weather such as clothing, sun products, ice cream, etc.

Is humility a facilitator in sharing knowledge? Investigating the role of humble knowledge inquiry a

Despite many efforts taken by organisations to facilitate knowledge sharing among individuals, but the effectiveness of knowledge sharing depends on how the individuals actually seek and provide that knowledge. In many instances, employees face challenges that need frequent interactions with knowledge sharing that raise the questions: how do knowledge seekers approach or communicate with providers, and what are the best means to share knowledge? Beyond the many variables in the current literature that are important in seeking knowledge, we propose and investigate the construct of humility in knowledge sharing.

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.

Is there more to sustainability than shopping wisely?

Sustainability depends less on consumer choices and more on how supply chains are structured. Research on Brazil’s beef sector shows that, despite the BRSL initiative to improve sustainability, results fell short. Four types of distance geographical, organizational, cultural, and relational hindered collaboration. These gaps created communication problems and weakened trust among stakeholders. Real progress requires external mediators, such as governments or NGOs, to reconnect the entire supply chain.
