Asiakkaan osallistuminen : käsite ja mittaamisen haasteet
Asiakkaiden osallistuminen on elintärkeää yrityksen menestymisen kannalta, ja niin tutkijat kuin liikkeenjohtajatkin ovat erittäin kiinnostuneita tästä modernin markkinoinnin ja viestinnän ilmiöstä. Kyseessä on kuitenkin haastava käsite, eikä osallistumisen määritelmästä tai mittaamisesta ole selkeää yksimielisyyttä. Yleisesti ottaen kannustamme kriittiseen tarkasteluun, sillä monet osallistumisen määritelmät poikkeavat merkittävästi toisistaan eivätkä mittauskäytänteet läheskään aina ole mittausteorian mukaisia. Tämä aiheuttaa suuria haasteita, kun tulkitaan empiirisiä tutkimustuloksia ja pyritään tekemään niiden perusteella liiketoiminnallisesti kannattavia päätöksiä. Tästä syystä tämän a…

Is it all about consumer engagement? : Explaining continuance intention for utilitarian and hedonic service consumption
This paper compares the explanatory power of consumer engagement (CE) regarding service continuance intention with the variables of attitude (utilitarian and hedonic) and satisfaction. Survey data were collected from users of mobile music (n = 596) and mobile parking (n = 297) services. The partial least squares method was applied to analyze the data. In line with expectations, the findings show that attitude and satisfaction are superior drivers of service continuance intention compared to CE when service is used for utilitarian reasons. In contrast, when service consumption is driven by hedonic reasons, CE is a stronger driver than satisfaction. However, no evidence for the superiority of…
