Tüketici-marka özdeşleşmesi, tüketicileri markaya yönlendiren motivasyonların anlaşılarak onlarla uzun vadeli ilişkilerin geliştirilmesinde üzerinde önemle durulan bir kavramdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı sosyal kimlik teorisinden yola çıkılarak tüketici-marka özdeşleşmesinin materyalizm ile ilişkisi ve sonuç olarak da daha çok ödeme isteğine katkısının incelenmesidir. Bu kapsamda ayrıca benzerlikten kaçınma ve dürtüsel satın almanın düzenleyici rolü de araştırılmaktadır. Öne sürülen araştırma modeli 210 Türk tüketiciden toplanan veri ile test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre materyalizm tüketicimarka özdeşleşmesini artırmaktadır ve bu etki tüketiciler benzerlikten kaçınma eğiliminde olduğunda daha güçlüdür. Bununla birlikte, tüketici-marka özdeşleşmesi tüketicilerin daha çok ödemesine neden olmaktadır. Beklenenin aksine, bu etki dürtüsel satın alma davranışı yüksek olan tüketicilerde daha zayıftır. Teoriye ve uygulamaya katkılar tartışılmış ve gelecek çalışmalar için öneriler sunulmuştur.
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to unfold the role of managerial characteristics in developing the dynamic capabilities necessary to serve foreign customers and compete in export market ventures.Design/methodology/approachThe authors test their proposed model using path analysis with data collected from export managers working in 204 small- and medium-sized Turkish exporters operating in various sectors.FindingsThe findings suggest that the positive effect of export managers’ process thinking skills on dynamic capabilities increases when the export managers’ learning and avoid orientations are low and prove orientation is high and export venture experience (duration and scope) increases. In addition, it has been found that export managers’ process thinking skills have an indirect effect on export performance through export venture dynamic capabilities.Originality/valueThis study makes three contributions. First, the authors conceptualize and operationalize dynamic capabilities in the context of exporting. The authors empirically validate export venture dynamic capabilities as a higher-level construct composed of sensing, seizing and reconfiguring elements pertinent to the firm’s export market operations. Second, based on the micro-foundations approach of competitive advantage, the authors study managers’ process thinking skills in exporting firms and how these abilities support dynamic capability development in export ventures. Finally, the authors investigate how the impact of export managers’ process thinking skills on export venture dynamic capabilities is influenced by their goal orientations and certain objective exporter characteristics pertaining to different aspects of export venture experience.
