The research investigated whether economic context and prior financial reinforcement/punishment moderate the effectiveness of marketing behavior in generating gains for the firm. An experiment with a longitudinal design was conducted using 1,759 companies from 2000 to 2017. The results demonstrate that marketing is effective in gaining market share when the country's economy is growing. In contrast, it increases return on assets and Tobin's Q when the country's economy is in recession, this increase being maximized when the company was financially reinforced. The study helps explain the circumstances in which marketing activities boost firms' financial gains.
This paper reveals the mutual relationship between a firm's marketing behavior and its financial consequences. With panel data from publicly traded companies covering 17 years, we obtained the total expenditures in marketing of each company to represent marketing behavior and five financial outcomes, depicting the reinforcers. Each metric was composed of frequency, magnitude, and delay dimensions. The results show mutual effects between investments in marketing activities (aggregate product of interlocking behavioral contingencies of the firm) and the firm's financial reinforcements (consequences of this product), thus corroborating the existence of metacontingencies in the marketing to finance relationship and undermatching in the finance to marketing relationship.
Purpose -This study dynamically assessed the effectiveness of marketing activities in the generation of product sales, revenue, and profitability in a micro-enterprise, a context that lacks research in marketing.Design/methodology/approach -A longitudinal multilevel study was conducted using daily panel data for 5,800 products sold and monthly time series on the business level, involving 26 months of commercial and financial records for a micro-enterprise (a drugstore). Panel and time series regressions were performed.Findings -The research shows that (1) marketing activities, in particular price elasticity, quite accurately generate product sales, (2) the aggregated estimate of total marketing activities predicts monthly company revenue and profitability, and (3) in the investigated company, if marketing activities are intensified in the same proportion to increase costs in products and goods, they are not efficient in generating profit.Originality/value -This research supports investigations concerning micro→macro level analysis relationships with commercial and financial data in order to merge marketing decisions to finance.
publicidade de alimentos saudáveis e não saudáveis versus vídeos neutros sobre as escolhas alimentares foi avaliado em 24 crianças de escola pública. Os vídeos foram apresentados em cinco sessões, sendo cada grupo exposto a uma sequência específica de publicidade. Após a exposição, a criança escolhia figuras de alimentos para as refeições do dia. Análises intra e entre sujeitos, por meio da Ancova de medidas repetidas, demonstraram que, com a mudança de vídeo, as crianças alteraram em até 13% a escolha de alimentos saudáveis ou não. O aumento da exibição de publicidade de alimentos saudáveis e a diminuição da publicidade de alimentos não saudáveis pode contribuir para a alimentação e peso saudáveis.Palavras-chave: publicidade de alimentos, práticas alimentares, estado nutricional, análise funcional, contingência, crianças Food Advertising and Children's Food Choices ABSTRACT -The effect of cartoon videos with advertisements of healthy and unhealthy food versus neutral videos on food choices was assessed in 24 children from a public school. The videos were presented in 5 sessions. Each group was exposed to a specific sequence of advertisement. After the exposure of the videos, the child chose food figures for daily meals. Within and between subject analyses, performed by repeated measures ANCOVA, showed that with change of videos, the children altered by up to 13% their choices of healthy or unhealthy food. The increase of healthy food advertising and the decrease of unhealthy food advertising may contribute for healthy food and weight.Keywords: food advertisement, eating habits, nutritional status, functional analysis, contingency, children A mídia televisiva tem sido utilizada como um amplo meio de comunicação voltado para a promoção de alimentos não saudáveis, havendo pouco espaço para a promoção de práticas saudáveis de alimentação (Dixon, Scully, Wakefield, White, & Crawford, 2007). A mídia televisiva tem ocupado, no dia a dia das crianças, mais de 50% do seu tempo em comparação com outras atividades tais como tarefas escolares e familiares, além de brincadeiras (Groebel, 2002). Segundo a Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD), em 2007, 94,5% dos domicílios tinham televisão em suas casas (IBGE, 2008). A maioria das crianças e dos adolescentes preferia a televisão, os jogos eletrônicos e o cinema como forma de diversão, e o jovem brasileiro permanecia, em média, de três a quatro horas diante da TV (Ministério da Justiça, 2009).Ao se divertirem em frente à televisão, crianças e jovens são expostos à publicidade de marcas. O trabalho publicitário divulga uma marca, usando recursos visuais e auditivos, e geralmente exagera nos elogios à marca com o objetivo de criar demanda pelo produto e gerar lucro para o anunciante (Cohen, 2005). Promove o consumo, utilizando informações na tentativa de mobilizar a fantasia. Logo, aquilo que é divulgado referente às marcas pode gerar ilusão, incentivar comportamentos superticiosos ou inapropriados (Coelho, 1994). Alerta-se que a publicidade não é nociva por si só,...
