Sales Sucks... But It Doesn't Have To

Rethinking the marketing of lesser-known destinations
Madagascar's tourism sector has been facing stagnation and even decline for several years. Despite constant efforts to revive the sector, no decisive results have been observed. The project proposed here stands out for its innovative approach, combining marketing innovation and the enhancement of local resources, with a strategy that is both economical and perfectly adapted to Malagasy culture and philosophy.It is important to recognize that the Ministry of Tourism's limited budget does not allow it to adopt the tourism promotion models of developed countries. Moreover, it would be counterproductive to blindly follow these models. The solution lies in a viable, innovative and creative approach, based on a concept known as tourism e-ambassadors. These represent a strategic means of promoting Madagascar through digital ambassadors, drawn from our diaspora and social networks, capable of spreading our message in a targeted and engaging way. Developed countries benefit from considerable financial resources to fund international promotion strategies.
Crisis Communications
Crises happen. But how they are handled makes all the difference in the world. It's 2019. A gunman enters Trask International, a suburban Washington, D.C. office, leaving three people dead and dozens injured. One of the biggest differences between this tragedy and \the many others that have unfortunately occurred recently? They were ready for this. Trask International had a comprehensive Crisis Communications plan. No, the plan didn't deploy bulletproof shields, nor did it call upon a secret superhero to fight off the gunman. But the plan did spell out how the business should respond in public to what happened, keep the focus on the true victims and not position the business as one, and how the business could--and would--get things back to normal as quickly as possible. Crisis Communications and the Art of Making Nothing Happen is a fast-paced story told in two parts--the first tells the tale of the shooting itself, while the second presents a deep dive into how a business prepares for a crisis. It takes a close look at the teamwork involved with crisis communication planning, and, ultimately, how preparation helps keep a bad situation from getting worse.

Augmented Reality and Consumer Behavior in E-Commerce
Augmented Reality (AR) is an innovative technology to improve product evaluation in e-commerce. It enables online consumers to project virtual product models into their surrounding real-world environment in real time using their mobile devices (e.g., projecting a virtual model of a sofa into its dedicated place in the living room via smartphone). AR can thus facilitate a more realistic online product evaluation and potentially increase sales. However, AR's effectiveness may depend on different usage contexts and product characteristics. The main objective of this cumulative dissertation is to provide a better understanding of AR in e-commerce and resulting consumer behavior. To this end, this dissertation studies context- as well as product-related boundary conditions of AR's effectiveness in online product evaluation, and consumers' underlying psychological mechanisms. The author presents four independent articles, which are nested in a general introduction and conclusion. Methodologically, experimental approaches are pursued that allow for drawing causal conclusions (field, laboratory, lab-in-field experiment, and quasi-experimental analysis of retailer data). The first article is a systematic literature review that establishes the foundation for the dissertation by reviewing consumer responses to AR usage in online and offline settings. The three subsequent quantitative-empirical articles examine the following aspects of AR usage: (1) the influence of the AR usage context on consumer perception of the evaluated product, (2) the role of AR in reducing spatial fit uncertainty in e-commerce, and (3) the effectiveness of AR in transferring implicit knowledge in corporate training situations. The results of this dissertation contribute to digital marketing research and provide actionable recommendations for managers.
