AbstractThis study investigates how the dimensions of service quality and providers’ supportive co-creation practices impact service satisfaction, which affects behavioral intentions and quality-of-life in a developing country. Customers in developing countries evaluate their co-creation efforts differently than those in developed countries. Hence, this study also explores the moderating effects of customer efforts in value co-creation activities on wellbeing enhancement. A transformative framework for healthcare services was developed using transformative service research (TSR) and value co-creation perspectives. Data collected from 421 healthcare customers were used to test the proposed model using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that timeliness, tangibles, technical quality, engagement facilitation, risk assessment, and relationship quality positively influence service satisfaction. The results also reveal that customer efforts in value co-creation activities bolster the effects of service satisfaction on behavioral intention and quality-of-life. The results offer important insights into how healthcare organizations can utilize supportive co-creation practices to enhance business and societal impacts. This study offers a transformative service framework depicting the enhancement of service outcomes through practical unification of the roles of service providers and customers in the healthcare context. Hence, this study contributes to the research agenda in TSR and, more importantly, healthcare management in developing countries.Keywords: Co-creation practiceshealthcarequality of lifeservice qualityvalue co-creationwellbeing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available on request from the corresponding author.

AbstractThis paper conceptualizes a consumer-centric, regenerative artificial intelligence (“ReGenAI”) model for the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (“FMCG”) retailing channel. The system uses its awareness of context, time, and users to (re)generate customer touchpoints and other marketing communications. Its output provides deep insights into regular and altered FMCG customer journeys, such as shopping behaviors under stressors like lifestyle choices or cataclysmic socio-economic and weather events. The recursive model advances from current, generative AI systems. It uses “tired or inspired” as a simplified bifurcated grocery shopper taxonomy to operationalize customers’ purchasing and consumption behaviors into actionable data for demand planning and retail operations.Keywords: Artificial intelligenceregenerative AIshopper marketingconsumer marketingretail operationsrecommender systemsnudginggroceryshoppers Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsRussell J.

摘要本文提出了一个以消费者为中心的可再生人工智能(ReGenAI)模型,用于快速消费品(FMCG)零售渠道。该系统利用其对上下文、时间和用户的感知来(重新)生成客户接触点和其他营销通信。它的输出提供了对常规和改变的快速消费品客户旅程的深刻见解,例如在生活方式选择或灾难性的社会经济和天气事件等压力因素下的购物行为。递归模型是从当前的生成式人工智能系统发展而来的。它使用“疲倦或受鼓舞”作为简化的杂货购物者分类学,将客户的购买和消费行为转化为可操作的数据,用于需求规划和零售运营。关键词:人工智能;再生;购物营销;消费者营销;零售业务;作者简介:russell J.

AbstractBuilding on the theoretical framework of the source credibility model, this study aims to investigate how the different dimensions of social media influencer’s (SMI) perceived source credibility, respectively expertise, attractiveness, and trustworthiness impact on influencers’ ascribed opinion leadership, and ultimately affect social media users’ purchase intentions. A cross-cultural analysis focused on the German and Portuguese markets of Instagram users was implemented. Data were collected with an online survey distributed in Germany and Portugal, resulting in a sample of 467 participants, 214 from Germany and 253 from Portugal. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM). Findings confirmed that expertise and attractiveness enhance the influencer’s ascribed opinion leadership. On the contrary, trustworthiness does not influence ascribed opinion leadership. The influencer’s ascribed opinion leadership promotes purchase intention. This study advances influencer marketing literature by deepening our understanding on the influence of online opinion leaders on social media user’s behavioral intentions.Keywords: Expertisetrustworthinessattractivenesssocial media influencersascribed opinion leadership Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by National Funds of the FCT – Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology within the project UIDB/04928/2020.

AbstractThis study examines the effects of consumer ethnocentrism, consumer internationalism, and consumer cosmopolitism on Malaysians’ purchasing of electrical and electronic products from China. A reconceptualized consumer ethnocentrism measurement scale was used to capture cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions that previous studies have ignored. A total of 555 consumers were sampled through online questionnaires distributed on social media and used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling to test the proposed model. The results show that consumer ethnocentrism has a significant negative effect on Malaysian consumers’ willingness to buy Chinese products. In contrast, consumer cosmopolitanism was rejected due to opposing path directions, and consumer internationalism was insignificant. Future research should examine multi-dimensional consumer ethnocentrism in other countries and products, and incorporate alternative measurements for consumer cosmopolitanism. The research recommends that managers consider multi-dimensional consumer ethnocentrism when strategizing to market international products, as it provides more depth than simply relying on consumer cosmopolitanism.Keywords: consumer ethnocentrismconsumer internationalismconsumer cosmopolitanismChinese productsMalaysia AcknowledgmentThe authors would like to thank the International Islamic University Malaysia for generously funding the research.Notes1 https://themalaysianreserve.com/2020/12/31/china-remains-malaysias-largest-trading-partner-for-11th-year/ accessed on 6 September 20212 https://tradingeconomics.com/malaysia/imports/china/electrical-electronic-equipment updated on September of 2021.
