Focused on the Greek economic crisis, one of the toughest and the most prolonged ones on a global scale, the present research centers on both anthropocentric and business-centric factors that helped SMEs survive, thus, providing a valuable survival manual. Grounded in quantitative research the paper includes two studies. 250 SMEs were included in the first study while 189 of them that survived, participated in the second study. Per findings, it is evidenced that an SME’s survival is affected by: (a) the entrepreneurs’ personality traits and skills that affect the market and entrepreneurial orientations of SMEs, (b) the adoption of such orientations that keep impacting the firms’ performance, and finally (c) the implementation of strategy relevant to reaching higher quality standards for products and services, combined with tactics relevant to downsizing, marketing actions, extroversion, and financial management.

Ad eroticism from a psychological distance perspective

Building on construal level theory and psychological distance (PD), this paper considers the impact of erotic ads; the factors of sex and moral attentiveness are also examined. Two experiments delve into different PD types, evoking variant construal levels (CLs) while promoting a different product across different levels of erotic intensity in the ad. Findings show that as the PD or CL decreases, reactions become more unfavorable, regardless of the ad’s level of erotic intensity. Also, reactions vary depending on sex and moral attentiveness; women and individuals with high moral attentiveness levels express stronger objections.

Market driving strategy’s firm-level and market-level outcomes

L’orientation-marché (OM) est une stratégie définissable par l'influence de la structure du marché et/ou du comportement des acteurs du marché dans une direction qui renforce l'avantage concurrentiel (AC) d’une entreprise. Cet article a pour objectif d'identifier : (1) les principaux résultats de l’OM au niveau de l'entreprise et du marché, (2) les mécanismes de médiation entre ces résultats, et (3) l'influence des capacités d'innovation radicale (IR) et incrémentale (II) des produits sur l’OM. Adoptant une méthode de recherche mixte fondée sur trois études, les résultats suggèrent que : (a) les résultats de la stratégie OM au niveau de l'entreprise portent sur la performance financière (PF) et la performance du client, la réputation de l'organisation (RO) et l'AC durable ; (b) la IR et II

Market-driving strategy and the human factor: Top management versus middle management

Building on market-orientation theory, this research centers on the market-driving strategy and the key attributes that top and middle-level management should have in order to facilitate and perform such a strategy. Findings from an exploratory study including in-depth interviews with 27 experts, seven academicians and 20 experienced practitioners working in market-driving companies across an array of sectors, show that there is a number of common as well as unique attributes that each one of these two managerial groups should have so as to perform a market-driving strategy. Given that this is the first research to explore personnel attributes as a key antecedent of the application of a market-driving strategy, the present research results in an extensive number of academic research propositions as well as relevant managerial implications for the business community.

The Impact of Psychological Distance and Construal Level on Consumers’ Responses to Taboos in Ad

For different product categories and across different taboo types, different distance dimensions, and different construal-level manipulations, an increase in the psychological distance (or construal) level attenuates consumers’ unfavorable attitudinal and behavioral reactions while a decrease in the psychological distance (or construal) level intensifies consumers’ responses.

From Daughter to Successor: Building Legitimacy in the Family Business

The existing literature on the legitimacy of daughters in the succession process of family businesses tends to separate the analysis between, on the one hand, the role of successor daughters and, on the other hand, the networks that activate and validate their legitimacy. This separation sustains a dualism in the conceptualization of relationships between successor daughters and the various stakeholders. This study addresses this gap by drawing on Strong Structuration Theory and the analysis of five cases of successor daughters. The results highlight that the social legitimacy of successor daughters in family businesses is the result of a continuous interaction between individual agency and social structures, within a logic of duality. It proposes a conceptualization of legitimacy as a dynamic process of social co-construction. The study reveals the interdependence between personal legitimacy and entrepreneurial legitimacy, which mutually reinforce each other through intertwined structuration cycles. This articulation contributes to the progressive co-construction of social legitimacy, emphasizing its evolving and adaptive nature.

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.

Entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway

This research compares student entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway, focusing on how students access support, resources, and networks. In France, the system is centralized, driven by key actors like Student Hubs for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship, called PEPITE. In Norway, it is open and collaborative, with strong student associations and community ties. Using interviews and social network analysis, I explored the access and the circulation of information among actors in student entrepreneurial ecosystems. The results reveal different paths to innovation shaped by culture, policy, and education. Supporting student entrepreneurship is not just about funding or training. It’s about building inclusive ecosystems where students, mentors, and institutions work together.

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.
