One of the most influential categories of nonverbal communication is kinesics, which includes physical gestures and other body movements. The current study develops a foundation for future kinesics education in sales by examining the use of four types of gestures (illustrators, beats, adaptors, and regulators) and coinciding measures of sales performance within the context of a national student sales competition. Results include the finding that highly rated sales students use one specific kind of gesture – illustrators - more frequently than low performing sales students. No significant relationships were uncovered between beats, adaptors, or regulators and performance. Educational implications and recommendations for sales courses are provided.KEYWORDS: professional sellingsales communicationnonverbal behaviorsales competition Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135643516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, students often misperceive marketing as a soft-skills discipline, leading to a crisis of confidence when faced with quantitative components within the discipline. The Quantitative Competency Development (QCD) innovation aligns with AACSB learning assurance standards, ensuring students develop quantitative competency in areas relevant to current business practices. QCD introduces an outcome-based learning process to incorporate valuable quantitative skills into any course. Through the use of an online publisher platform, students gain foundational quantitative knowledge. Class time is then used to reinforce knowledge and build technical skills using Excel. Finally, concept mastery is tested through formula-type exam questions within the LMS, which varies question inputs by student, resulting in each student needing to calculate his or her answer individually. Formulaic problems reduce the benefits of cheating in that values vary for each question and each student. As an added benefit, professors can easily identify students who upload exam questions online. Results show that students are motivated to learn the concepts and competency improvement is demonstrated. Challenges related to implementation are discussed, followed by an overview of the adaptability of the process throughout the marketing curricula. Guidance and consideration for developing formulaic questions in LMS systems is also provided.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"99 - 106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48654141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The global pandemic, climate crisis, and state of social inequality call for future business leaders to practice a broader intellectual vision to “see” across domains and apply diverse lenses. However, the traditional silos within universities, business colleges, and marketing curriculum constrain student exposure to narrower paradigms. To help address this challenge, this paper introduces a field-based exercise called “Designing a Greenspace for Sustainable Value.” The exercise promotes learning objectives for interdisciplinary mind-sets, sustainable innovation, and developing value propositions in teams. Experimental results reveal positive effects on a scale measuring students’ Interdisciplinary Competence. Moreover, qualitative feedback uncovers students’ experiences, perceived barriers for interdisciplinary thinking, and reflective paths forward. The exercise can be incorporated into a variety of marketing courses, and it has been effectively implemented in both undergraduate and graduate contexts as well as in-person and digital modes of delivery. To promote retention, students are encouraged to literally and metaphorically “take a hike” to other fields to develop their interdisciplinary mind-set for solving complex problems.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"149 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44783235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technology is simultaneously redefining the boundaries of learning and eroding tried and true pedagogical structures. Signs of change were present prior to recent global upheaval. However, against the backdrop of the pandemic, students connected with others online and consumed media in new and different ways that have arguably emboldened a do-it-yourself attitude toward learning. The authors argue that this learning breakdown, exacerbated by loosened course structures (if not standards), is rooted in psychological ownership. Empowerment theory is employed to conceptualize, and subsequently deploy, a choose-your-own-adventure marketing course format to guide students toward achieving a sense of control. Quantitative and qualitative feedback suggest that this approach may substantively enhance both perceived quality of instruction and rigor, while shifting a greater number of attributions for poor performance onto the student.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"163 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60193223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marketing research technologies such as eye-tracking and facial expression analysis allow marketers to gain more insights into consumer behaviors. Recently, these technologies have become more affordable and applicable in the classroom learning environment. A very recent addition to these technologies is the ability to collect eye-tracking and facial expression data remotely through a compliant user’s webcam. This paper illustrates how marketing educators can incorporate eye-tracking and facial expression analysis technology into an online marketing research class. The teaching effectiveness results show that this 4-week online project using the remote technology helps students improve their learning and become more ready for future careers. The online experiential project using these technologies allows marketing educators to switch from face-to-face instruction to an online format while still maintaining the same quality of instruction and level of engagement.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"125 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45001007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is particularly true in selling courses, where a sales role play often serves as a culminating exercise in which students are tasked with building rapport with a buyer, uncovering buyer needs, overcoming objections, and closing a sale. However, we contend that this typical sales role play can be extended by tasking students with the need to perform independent research to speak convincingly about the concept of value. In response, we describe an innovative role play based on the purposeful choreography, which tasks students with presenting a compelling, and novel, business case to a buyer. Moreover, we highlight opportunities and challenges for sales professors who are interested in adopting this role play into their advanced selling courses.","PeriodicalId":37208,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Education Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"136 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45500625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
