Process and output control in marketing channels: toward understanding their heterogeneous effects
In: The journal of business & industrial marketing, Band 34, Heft 4, S. 735-753
ISSN: 2052-1189
Purpose
Extant research has demonstrated that marketing channel control can produce both positive and negative effects. This paper aims to use meta-analysis to understand potential sources of those heterogeneous effects. This research also identifies areas in need of future research to help deepen the understanding of marketing channel control.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses meta-analysis to quantitatively review some of the methodological factors that might explain conflicting results uncovered in previous empirical studies.
Findings
The results generally show a positive relationship between process and output control and their studied correlates. They also show that the effects of process and output control vary by the methodological factors used to study them. In particular, the effects of process and output control appears to be stronger in industrial (vs consumer) markets, service (vs goods) industries and in studies conducted in non-Western (vs Western) cultures; and output monitoring measures appear to be more effective than output control measures, yet process monitoring appears to be less effective than process control in marketing channels.
Originality/value
This original meta-analysis review of the literature on organizational control in marketing channels shows that the effects of process and output control vary according to the research context investigated as well as the specific measure of control used. The paper presents an agenda to guide future research on this topic to more fully develop knowledge of organizational control in marketing channels.
Improving Productivity in a Service Business: Evidence from the Hotel Industry
In: Journal of service research, Band 2, Heft 4, S. 339-354
ISSN: 1552-7379
Achieving increased productivity remains an important issue with many service firms. Therefore, the objective of this study was to gain insights as to how managers can improve the productivity of their service businesses. The context of the study was the hotel industry, in which the authors examined empirically the impact of labor and capital as well as selected strategic and organizational inputs on the dollar value added by the hotel. They found that regardless of hotel size, value added rose significantly with an increasing number of employees. Expanding the number of rooms available for sale as well as upscale positioning generated significantly greater value added for medium-sized hotels. The value added by large hotels was significantly enhanced when they were managed by a branded management company and were company owned. Constant returns to scale characterized the hotels. Relative to capital inputs, labor accounted for the bulk of value added.

What if Firms Could Borrow More? Evidence from a Natural Experiment
We study the effects of a unique lending program initiated by the Swedish government at the height of the financial crisis that allowed firms to suspend payment of all labor-related taxes and fees. Comprehensive administrative data on all Swedish firms show that firms borrowing from the program have higher rates of debt growth, investment spending, and employment growth compared to otherwise similar firms whose labor taxes were sufficiently low they could not benefit from the program. These results connect the availability of external credit with real activity in entrepreneurial firms in a way that has proved difficult in other settings.

Impact of business type upon the adoption of quick response technologies – The apparel industry experience
In: International journal of operations & production management, Band 20, Heft 9, S. 1093-1111
ISSN: 1758-6593
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of business type upon the adoption process for quick response (QR) technologies in the apparel industry. Using Rogers' (1983) innovation decision process model as our conceptual basis, we empirically investigated three stages of that process as it pertains to QR adoption: persuasion, decision, and implementation. In our study of 103 US apparel manufacturers, we found business type to impact significantly the firms' perceptions of benefits to be derived from QR. The perceptions of these benefits, in turn, affected the apparel manufacturers' adoption of a QR strategy which, in turn, influenced their use of various QR technologies.
