Bitcoin is a cryptographic, software networked, complexly engineered, high energy consuming, permission-less and programmable crypto-currency. Bitcoin appears to be in higher demand among social entrepreneurs than customers resulting in a Pygmalion Effect. The purpose of the study is to examine three main questions: (1) Will Bitcoin’s marketing gain a sustainable traction as a currency of choice for daily transactions? (2) Will Bitcoin scale to become a major payment network on a global scale? (3) Will Bitcoin be replaced by multiple viable crypto-currencies? The study explored how Bitcoins Pygmalion effect will impact consumer’s privacy, purchasing-habits and businessrelationships with cross border payments within the framework of crypto-currency. This study draws on the works of Reither et al. (2017), Yates (2017), Ortisi et al (2016), Bert and Chris (2017), Reijers (2016), Houy and Nicholas (2014). The research method of the study is based on the quality content analysis and primarily relied on the recent research articles, and surveys. The findings contribute to the existing discussion on the Bitcoin mining and the marketing of the cryptographic tokens and block-chain technologies. This study posits that bitcoin has value because both the Pygmalion entrepreneurs and customers believe that it has value and it is likely to be among mainstream global viable currencies. The final sections provide directions for future research on how crypto-companies need to build their distinct message and project it into the larger block-chain conversation for social entrepreneurs. Key implications for researchers, practitioners and policy makers are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":425599,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Other Market Strategies (Sub-Topic)","volume":"272 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131611666","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}

Despite various misconceptions, continuous development and improvement in the subject matter had formalized its framework as a body of discipline. Also, due to technological improvements, customers have become more sophisticated in their tastes.Thus, marketing functions often adjusts to accommodate these expectations since they are essential for effective value proposition and delivery. Numerous definitions of marketing had been put forward by different authors from the academic and professional dichotomy,but how exhaustive are these definitions in the light of changing values, technological sophistication and broader definition of needs, better management orientation, modern marketplace and scientific processes? While these definitions are the threshold to predicate an increase in the frontiers of the discipline, there is the need for a definition that would reflect the current dynamics of modern days. This paper re-defines marketing in the light of recent trends and developments in its subject matter as a discipline.

Besides fundraising, crowdfunding also serves as a marketing tool. To better understand this effect, we developed a teaching case based on an interview with the company Kinematics about their successful crowdfunding campaign “TinkerBots”. The multifaceted teaching case explains crowdfunding as a marketing tool by discussing the “4P” marketing mix (product, price, promotion, and placement). Our teaching case further familiarizes students with the basics of crowdfunding, including the different forms of crowdfunding and the risks and opportunities associated with crowdfunding. Our teaching case is designed for postgraduate or advanced undergraduate students of information systems and business administration, as well as for students pursuing Bachelor or Master level studies in economics or \u0000information science. It can also be used in practice-oriented MBA courses, where students analyze and solve real world business challenges.","PeriodicalId":425599,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Other Market Strategies (Sub-Topic)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124447362","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 paper presents a different strategy of cluster development, the renewable energy cluster in Abu Dhabi known as Masdar, which is based on the twin-strategy of ‘Place Branding’ and ‘Place Surrogacy’. The Masdar experience presents an interesting approach to cluster development that involves planting the seeds of a local renewables industry overseas (through making investment and engaging in worldwide place branding activities) whilst preparing the minds and ground for its eventual transplantation back home when conditions for the transfer are suitable. Such a ‘spin-in’ based surrogacy model of cluster development, which is yet to prove its success, differs from the conventional wisdom with regard to the importance of both start-up and spin-offs during cluster emergence.","PeriodicalId":425599,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Other Market Strategies (Sub-Topic)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123777531","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}

Despite their intuitive appeal, limited research has been conducted to generalize these “buy till you die” models to multivariate contexts to examine the nature of attrition when a firm offers multiple types of transactional activities. Attrition for the different activities may be independent, simultaneous, or separate but related events. To investigate this issue, we develop a coupled hidden Markov model in which we use a Gaussian copula distribution to correlate customers’ latent lifetimes, as well as correlate the inter-activity durations. The proposed dynamic model extends the univariate “buy till you die” framework to a bivariate context and nests models that allow for latent attrition in different ways.Using the data provided by a website that allows users to purchase digital content and/or use a free ancillary service that promotes customer engagement, we find positive correlations between the two latent lifetimes, as well as between the times at which the two activities occur, suggesting that the firm can benefit from encouraging use of its ancillary service in a timely manner. We further demonstrate how our bivariate model offers a more complete picture of customers’ dynamic behavior than is afforded by examining multiple transactional activities in isolation.","PeriodicalId":425599,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Other Market Strategies (Sub-Topic)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126644777","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}

Contrary to existing thinking, we demonstrate that the larger a buyer the less countervailing power he possesses over the supplier. The reason for this is that a buyer's outside option - the ability to integrate backwards - becomes proportionately weaker as he grows in size as self-production is characterised by diseconomies of scale. This result emphasises that any analysis of countervailing power must go beyond a simple examination of a buyer's size, and must instead fully investigate the relative bargaining positions of suppliers and buyers.","PeriodicalId":425599,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Other Market Strategies (Sub-Topic)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131995182","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}
