Most firms use their own marketing efforts or a selection of their competitor’s marketing efforts for forecasting sales. Due to data availability limitations, data on the full set of competitors are rarely used when forecasting sales. The emergence of online search data provides access to a novel data source on own as well as never-before observed competitive activities. We propose a novel regularized dynamic forecasting model utilizing all available competitive search data in a market vs. constructing ad-hoc and potentially subjective smaller competitive sets. Our model addresses the inherent statistical issue that arises when including a large number of competitive effects and parsimoniously utilizes all competitive data. We demonstrate our model using data from the US automobile industry over a twelve-year period and forecast car-model sales for 14 exemplary car-models utilizing multiple search measures for all 374 potential competitive car-models. We show that our model fits and forecasts sales better than models not leveraging the full competitive search data, e.g., using subjective sets of relevant competitors or narrowly defined category competitors. We also find that market research done via novel large-language models (also called LLMs) to obtain a narrower set of competitors does not outperform our proposed model that includes the full set of competitors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48298,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Marketing","volume":"41 4","pages":"Pages 632-647"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141528969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To examine the effects of implementing IDSTs on B2B firm performance, we differentiate between customer-sensing and customer-linking IDSTs: while customer-sensing IDST has the primary purpose of identifying new sales opportunities (e.g., predictive analytics) early within the B2B sales funnel, the purpose of customer-linking IDST (e.g., augmented reality application) is to close sales opportunities. The results of a multi-data study involving 314 B2B firms confirm that implementing customer-sensing and customer-linking IDST can exhibit a complementary, positive effect on firm profit, but this effect strongly varies with the sales task environment in terms of firms’ offering and demand complexity.

Across six studies (N = 2,773, among which three studies were pre-registered), we demonstrate that entity (vs. incremental) theorists exhibit lower intentions for vaccination against various contagious diseases. Moreover, entity theorists’ vaccination intentions were higher when framing the consequences of not getting vaccinated as a loss than framing the benefits of getting vaccinated as a gain. In contrast, message framing does not affect incremental theorists’ intentions for vaccination.

This paper examines crowdfunding entrepreneurs’ decision-making facing uncertain demands to shed light on the quality, pricing, and advertising strategies of crowdfunded products. At the core of our analysis are two fundamental mechanisms of reward-based crowdfunding (the All-Or-Nothing, or AON, funding model and ex-ante pricing) and their interactions with two prevalent demand uncertainties in new product development, namely market size uncertainty and consumer valuation uncertainty. Our results show that AON benefits the entrepreneur by safeguarding against both types of demand uncertainty. Ex-ante pricing, however, is harmful through the uncertainty in consumer valuation but not in market size. AON boosts product quality, price, and advertising spending while ex-ante pricing hinders these important marketing decisions. In further examining how market size versus consumer valuation uncertainty affects new product profitability, we find that greater uncertainty in market size can be profit-enhancing. However, the case of consumer valuation uncertainty is more nuanced, featuring a U-shaped impact on profitability.
