Dr. Joseph Cannon
Colorado State University, "A Cross-Cultural Examination of the Effects of Trust
and Supplier Performance on Long-Term Buyer-Supplier Relationships." This study
examines and compares the role of trust and supplier performance on supplier attitudes
across cultures. Studies of relationship marketing and organizational buyer behavior
suggest that a buyer's commitment to a supplier is influenced by both the buyer's
expectations of the supplier's performance and the buyer's trust of the supplier.
Cross-cultural theory suggests that some cultures place a greater emphasis on interpersonal
relationships - while others emphasize objective performance. Together, these theories
suggest that culture moderates the trust-commitment and performance-commitment relationships.
The proposed model is tested on data collected from over 600 purchasing professionals
in the United States, Anglophone Canada, Francophone Canada, and Mexico. The results
indicate differences across the cultures.

He is an active proponent of quality management and incorporates continuous improvement
philosophies into all his classes. Dr. Goolsby's presentation, "Marketing's Role
in Setting System Requirements: The Pendulum Swings Back" focused on the idea that
a central key to success is ensuring that system requirements are established so
that the organization as a whole is competitive in the marketplace. During the last
fifty years marketing has become increasingly prominent in dictating system requirements,
based on the notion that customer satisfaction will drive profitability in the marketplace.
This over-reliance on marketing and customer satisfaction has been responsible for
numerous corporate disasters, such as Andersen's fiasco with Enron. The presentation
will explore the proper role that marketing and customer satisfaction should play
in setting system requirements. Some intricate distinctions will be explored between
valid and invalid customer requirements and accurate and inaccurate customer selection.
A balanced multi-disciplinary approach is found to yield more accurate and viable
system requirements.

Dr. Aric Rindfleisch
Associate Dean for Research and PhD Programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Dr. Rindfleisch's presentation was, "God and Mammon: The influence of Religiosity
on Brand Connections." Religiosity is a topic seldom broached by marketing scholars.
Thus, the influence of religiosity upon customer behavior is relatively unknown.
We test the relative influence of these two dimensions. Collectively, the results
suggest that religiosity fosters both brand loyalty across multiple product categories.
Dr. Hope Jensen Schau
Assistant Professor of Marketing, Temple University, presented "When the Consumer
Becomes the Marketer: The Abandoned Apple Newton Brand Community," by Dr. Albert
M. Muniz, Jr. and Dr. Hope Jensen Schau. This paper explores the boundaries of consumer
co-creation and production in the context of a brand community centered on an abandoned
technological product, the Apple Newton PDA. The results demonstrate that consumers
can assume control of a brand and effectively manage all aspects of the marketing
mix. These results have implications for the understanding and management of consumer
co-creation and brand communities.

Learn more about Dr. Venkatesh. Dr. Venkatesh's presentation, "Design Ethnography:
Development of a Family Portal for Home Use" focused on the use of information technology
at home prevails as a promising area of inquiry among scholars and practitioners
(Kraut et. al 2000, Harper 2002, Lally 2002, Turow and Kavanaugh 2003,). In the
past couple of years, products such as home Internet appliances, intelligent refrigerators,
and WebTV consoles have been released into the market with much promise but with
somewhat mixed results (Bergmann 2000, Business Week 2003). In spite of the slow
adoption of such home-oriented technologies, the interest to introduce information
technologies into the home is quite intense. This research reports preliminary findings
from an ethnographic study on ways the Internet and computer technology could be
integrated into the homes from the perspective of household users/consumers. We
designed a prototype that we have labeled The Family Portal as a tool to help families
explore more satisfactorily and with greater receptivity the usability and applicability
of information technology at home. Issues concerning the design and development
of the Family Portal and its implementation were discussed in his presentation.
