A model and methodology is proposed for measuring the preference-perception interaction and hypotheses about such interdependencies are tested in a laboratory experiment.

The focus is on the concept of “information” or “knowledge” as both an asset to be managed and a variable to be researched. After developing a particular operationalization of the value of information in marketing contexts, which can be used to describe firms in terms of their relative levels of “information intensity,” the author presents a series of propositions examining the consequences of increasing information intensity for some key components of firm strategy and organizational structure. The concepts discussed are illustrated with a description of the transaction-based information systems that are being implemented in a variety of firms in pursuit of competitive advantage.

Surface temperatures can easily be calculated using thermal finite-element models, but these generally omit the effect of convection in the windows and the window–wall interface. Hence, there is a need to determine if specific interface details provide potential

Four models common in the marketing and psychological literature are examined—Euclidean and city-block spaces and ultrametric and additive trees. The analysis uses the distinction between “algebraic” and “geometric” structures as the basis for a unifying framework within which the four representations are compared and contrasted.

Research paper thumbnail of Judgmental forecasts in a competitive environment: Rational vs. adaptive expectations

They also influence ultimate market outcomes which, in turn, are then used to form new forecasts. In this paper, we use data from a simulated competitive marketing environment to examine the expectations formation process for key micro variables of interest to marketing managers. These include market size, number of competing products, and average industry price. In particular, we test two alternative hypotheses -rational and adaptive expectations -that are used to study how effective and efficient managers are in using information to form forecasts. We find no support for adaptive expectations, but partial support for rational expectations in that decision makers' forecasts tend to be efficient but biased. We discuss the implications of our results for both the relationship between industry competitiveness and forecast efficiency and for improving forecasts within a competitive setting.

The study was conducted with 20 teams playing Murkstrut, a marketing-simulation game. Results indicate that decision performance is positively related to the attitudes of the group members toward their task, the level of effort they exert, and the degree to which the more effective decision makers emerge from the group process.
