In recent years, women’s sport has experienced sustained growth, resulting in a positive shift in media coverage and increased attention from corporate sponsors. Past research has extended our understanding of the challenges, objectives and motivations of sponsors however, less is known with respect to whether sponsor communication perpetuates a gender-based narrative. In addressing this research gap, this study examines women’s sport sponsor communication to understand how gender stereotyping manifests in messaging around sponsorship objectives and women’s sport/athletes. Findings show that sponsor communication of objectives mirrors the traditional social roles held by women (centred on a communal orientation), while agentic gender traits associated with masculinity emerge in communication around women’s sport/athletes. Our study highlights the importance of message framing in sponsor communication and the need for simultaneously embracing and valuing both feminine and masculine traits. This is an important step towards creating a balanced narrative around women athletes and women’s sport.

ABSTRACTGiven their increasing number, corporate brand crises are a subject of growing academic interest. Today’s managers face a hostile and often uncontrollable external information environment. Maintaining employee trust during turmoil is key to crisis resolution. However, it is during crises that employee trust can be most threatened. Our study draws on social identity theory to understand the conditions under which trust is destroyed and possibly repaired after a corporate brand crisis. The results from two experimental studies suggest that corporate brand crises decrease employee trust due to the threat to their social image. However, appropriate mitigation strategies that restore employees’ social status can effectively repair their trust. This decline and repair dynamic is amplified among highly identified employees, suggesting that organisational identification has a bounce-back effect on this mechanism.KEYWORDS: Corporate brand crisiscorporate reputationorganisational trustorganisational identificationcrisis mitigation strategies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/technology/inside-amazon-wrestling-big-ideas-in-a-bruising-workplace.html2. www.challenges.fr/entreprise/sante-et-pharmacie/coronavirus-la-verite-sur-la-vague-de-deces-dans-les-ehpad-korian_7131863. www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/volkswagen-seeks-rebuild-trust-new-brand-campaign/1382301Additional informationNotes on contributorsSophie de VillartaySophie de Villartay is an Associate Professor in the Department of Management at Evry Paris-Saclay University and a Senior Lecturer in Management Sciences.

摘要随着企业品牌危机的日益增多,企业品牌危机已成为学术界日益关注的课题。当今的管理者面临着一个充满敌意且往往不可控的外部信息环境。在动荡时期保持员工的信任是解决危机的关键。然而,正是在危机期间,员工的信任可能受到最大的威胁。我们的研究利用社会认同理论来理解企业品牌危机后信任被破坏和可能修复的条件。两项实验研究的结果表明,企业品牌危机由于其社会形象受到威胁而降低了员工的信任。然而,适当的缓解策略,恢复员工的社会地位,可以有效地修复他们的信任。这种下降和修复的动态在高度认同的员工中被放大,这表明组织认同对这一机制具有反弹效应。关键词:企业品牌危机、企业声誉、组织信任、组织认同、危机缓解策略披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/technology/inside-amazon-wrestling-big-ideas-in-a-bruising-workplace.html2。www.challenges.fr /企业/ sante-et-pharmacie / coronavirus-la-verite-sur-la-vague-de-deces-dans-les-ehpad-korian_7131863。www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/volkswagen-seeks-rebuild-trust-new-brand-campaign/1382301Additional信息作者简介sophie de villaray sophie de villaray是巴黎萨克雷大学管理系副教授,管理科学高级讲师。她在研究生阶段教授市场营销、危机管理和沟通。她的研究重点是员工行为、声誉危机和企业社会不负责任。Marie-Aude Abid-Dupont,巴黎南泰尔大学副教授,人力资源管理与研究方法论高级讲师。她是CEROS组织和流程研究小组的共同领导,也是“雇主品牌”研究小组科学委员会的成员。她的研究重点是信任动态和员工对企业社会责任的反应。Fabienne Berger-Remy是巴黎Dauphine大学的副教授。她在硕士课程中教授市场营销和品牌管理。她的研究重点是品牌、品牌管理、雇主品牌和营销组织的演变。

ABSTRACTTelevision advertising is an important channel through which brands create equity, based on the brand associations that consumers derive from viewing television advertisements (TV ads). This study examines how these associations’ effect on brand authenticity may depend on how brand-related information is received through multiple media channels. The entity-referent correspondence framework conceptualises brand authenticity along three dimensions of truthfulness. Based on a national panel involving food brands, this study indicates that TV ad-related brand associations strongly influence brand authenticity, depending on consumer social brand engagement and brand scandal awareness. In turn, brand authenticity reinforces brand equity by improving brand clarity and uniqueness. Our findings provide insights to assist advertisers design TV advertising campaigns that create authentic brands.KEYWORDS: Television advertisingbrand associationsbrand authenticitysocial brand engagementbrand scandalstransmedia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf87i6w5o6MAdditional informationNotes on contributorsFrançoise SimonFrançoise Simon is a full Professor of Marketing at the University of Haute-Alsace, Faculty of Marketing and Agrosciences.

ABSTRACTDespite the growing diversity of customer needs, little empirical evidence would guide managers to leverage customer need diversity (CND) for radical innovation. Building on the knowledge-based view and dynamic capabilities, the authors explore relationships among CND, strategic flexibility, big data analytics capabilities, and radical innovation performance. With 308 survey responses from innovation managers, the authors find that CND impacts radical innovation performance via (1) mediation through strategic flexibility and (2) moderation by volume, variety, and velocity capabilities associated with big data analytics. The moderation effects of volume and velocity capabilities are positive and negative simultaneously, depending on the purpose for which CND is utilised. Therefore, to leverage customer need diversity, firms need to build strategic flexibility and exercise caution when utilising big data analytics capabilities.KEYWORDS: Radical innovationcustomer needsstrategic flexibilitybig datanew product development Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. While our research focuses on volume, variety, and velocity, it is important to note that recent research added four more Vs to characterise big data which are veracity, value, viability, and visualisation.

摘要尽管顾客需求的多样性日益增加,但很少有经验证据能够指导管理者利用顾客需求多样性(CND)进行突破性创新。在基于知识的观点和动态能力的基础上,作者探讨了CND、战略灵活性、大数据分析能力和激进创新绩效之间的关系。通过对308名创新经理的调查反馈,作者发现CND通过(1)战略灵活性的中介作用和(2)与大数据分析相关的数量、种类和速度能力的调节作用来影响突破性创新绩效。体积和速度能力的调节作用同时是正面和负面的,这取决于CND的使用目的。因此,为了充分利用客户需求的多样性,企业需要建立战略灵活性,并在利用大数据分析能力时谨慎行事。关键词:突破性创新、客户需求、战略灵活性、大数据、新产品开发披露声明作者未发现潜在利益冲突。虽然我们的研究侧重于数量、种类和速度,但值得注意的是,最近的研究增加了四个v来描述大数据的特征,即准确性、价值、可行性和可视化。我们专注于数量、种类和速度,因为它们是大数据的原始属性。我们将其定义为公司与大数据分析相关的能力。作者简介:tereza Dean tereza Dean是波尔州立大学市场营销学助理教授。她拥有密歇根州立大学博士学位。Tereza的研究兴趣包括产品创新、营销策略和营销渠道,她的研究成果发表在Journal of marketing、marketing Letters、technology innovation和Journal of marketing Education上。张海粟,新泽西理工学院市场营销与创业学副教授。主要研究方向为产品创新、营销策略、共享经济、3D打印等。他的研究成果发表在《Journal of Product Innovation Management》、《Journal of Business Research》、《International Journal of Research in Marketing》、《R&D Management》、《Journal of International Marketing》、《Industrial Marketing Management》、《technology》、《International Journal of Production Research》和《Journal of Organizational Change Management》上。肖亚珍,波特兰州立大学市场营销学助理教授。她在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校(UIC)获得工商管理博士学位。她的研究兴趣包括创新和新产品开发、数字创新采用和医疗保健服务。她曾在《市场科学学会杂志》、《商业研究杂志》、《商业伦理杂志》、《产品创新管理杂志》、《服务研究杂志》、《工业营销管理》、《国际营销评论》和《营销研究评论》等期刊上发表文章。

ABSTRACTCharitable organisations are principled actors providing essential community services. However, due to some highly publicised charity scandals in recent years, they are under increased scrutiny today. This study explores the impact of negative publicity (i.e. publicly reported scandals) about charitable organisations on the contributions of regular donors and analyses the moderating role of email marketing communications as a key factor in counteracting the impact of negative publicity on donations. The results of analysing a sample of regular donors during the period 2013–2020 reveal that negative publicity about charities reduces the amount donated, and that this effect is stronger on the contributions of more frequent donors, who are potentially more sensitive to this publicity. This impact is softened by email marketing communications. The implications for the field of marketing management in charities are discussed.KEYWORDS: Negative publicityemail marketing communicationsregular donorsdonation frequencylongitudinal data AcknowledgmentsThe authors are members of the research group Generes (http://generes.unizar.es/es/), and they appreciate the financial support received from the projects PID2020-114874GB-I00 (MCIN/AEI), TED2021-130861A-100 (MCIN) and S54_23R (Gobierno de Aragón y Fondo Social Europeo).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The reported articles were about people working in charitable organisations who were denounced for, accused of, or arrested for inadequate and improper financial conduct or sexual exploitation and abuse. Specifically, we found that in 2015 there were two major scandals related to inadequate and improper financial conduct in two organisations, one medium and one large (where medium charities have a total income between approximately €1.25 M and €11.5 M and large charities have a total income of more than approximately €11.5 M; Institute of Fundraising, Citation2020); in 2018, four major scandals related to sexual exploitation and abuse involving 10 organisations (medium and large) were publicly reported; and in 2020 another large organisation was also involved in a different case of sexual exploitation and abuse. The main activity of these organisations is humanitarian assistance to improve the lives of vulnerable populations.2. The collaborating charity allows its donors to control the information flow. In the country where the organisation operates, it is required by law to obtain permission from individuals to receive email marketing communications.3. We further analysed the content of participative communications in 2018 to check whether the organisation devoted any of the activities to addressing issues related to scandals that arose in other charities during this period. As noted previously, there was a significant amount of negative publicity in 2018. However, we did not find that the content of the participative communications was related

ABSTRACTThis paper aims to discuss the antecedents and consequences of cancel culture and assess if brands can gain the forgiveness of consumers and mitigate the damages of social media firestorms, that usually evolve from online abuse (e.g. cyberbullying, harassment, and offensive talk). A quasi-experiment study was conducted through an online survey simulating the cancellation journey. Results show that cancel culture is triggered by ideological incompatibilities such as religion, racism, animal rights, LGBTQIA+ and environmental issues. After the scenario that simulated an ideological incompatibility related to racism, 178 respondents rated high levels of brand hate, negative WOM, brand avoidance, brand boycott, brand retaliation, and intention to cancel the brand. However, an ‘apology’ by the brand leads to brand forgiveness, a decrease in the intention to cancel the brand and an increase in purchase intention.KEYWORDS: Brand forgivenessbrand hatecancel cultureideological incompatibilitiesapology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/24/victorias-secret-woke-lingerie-diversity.2. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanverdon/2021/03/18/time-for-mr-monopolys-get-woke-moment/.3. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/25/business/mr-potato-head-gender-neutral.html.4. https://fortune.com/2021/02/11/aunt-jemima-new-name-pearl-milling-company/.Additional informationNotes on contributorsCláudia CostaCláudia Costa finished the master’s degree in Marketing and Strategy at the University of Minho, where she also did her Bachelor’s degree in Management.

Results show that cancel culture is triggered by ideological incompatibilities such as religion, racism, animal rights, LGBTQIA+ and environmental issues. After the scenario that simulated an ideological incompatibility related to racism, 178 respondents rated high levels of brand hate, negative WOM, brand avoidance, brand boycott, brand retaliation, and intention to cancel the brand. However, an ‘apology’ by the brand leads to brand forgiveness, a decrease in the intention to cancel the brand and an increase in purchase intention.KEYWORDS: Brand forgivenessbrand hatecancel cultureideological incompatibilitiesapology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/24/victorias-secret-woke-lingerie-diversity.2. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanverdon/2021/03/18/time-for-mr-monopolys-get-woke-moment/.3. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/25/business/mr-potato-head-gender-neutral.html.4. https://fortune.com/2021/02/11/aunt-jemima-new-name-pearl-milling-company/.Additional informationNotes on contributorsCláudia CostaCláudia Costa finished the master’s degree in Marketing and Strategy at the University of Minho, where she also did her Bachelor’s degree in Management.

The study aims to explore the drivers of community building in virtual participation charity sport events. The authors conducted a case study of virtual charity events governed by Team World Vision, the sports arm of a global not-for-profit service organisation. They conducted semi-structured interviews with World Vision marketing managers and virtual running race participants, analysed survey and podcast interview data, and performed a document analysis. Four overarching themes were revealed as drivers of community building: community engagement, social networking, impression management, and fitness philanthropy practicing. The study uncovers the peculiarities of the virtual format that helped build virtual communities and create excitement around the cause, such as digitised communication plans, social media- and technology-facilitated opportunities to connect both locally and globally, and the adapted fundraising strategies in the virtual format.
