Embedded Supplier Consideration in Informational Service Markets
This study addresses an important yet understudied aspect of exchange in informational service markets, namely the consideration of a service provider. Sourcing from the growing embeddedness literature in both economic sociology and marketing, the authors aim to contribute to the literature by (1) examining the role of preexisting social ties as selection criterion (social embedding), (2) introducing informational embedding as a more instrumental way to embed exchange in interpersonal interaction, (3) studying how different dimensions of the service offering moderate the influence of social and informational embedding, and (4) in an exploratory fashion, examining how the importance of partner selection criteria varies between consideration and choice. A conjoint experiment supplemented with a between-subjects design in the context of selecting a market research agency sheds new light on the embeddedness of partner selection in informational service markets. Extensive qualitative research was conducted to ensure the realism of the experimental setting and to strengthen the interpretation of results. The theoretical discourse and empirical test lead to a number of managerial insights that may help firms overcome the hurdle of getting on the shortlist.

Privacy onder druk: de waarde van persoonsgegevens
Sporen van gebruikers op internet worden steeds meer door innovatieve partijen gebruikt om nieuwe, gepersonaliseerde diensten aan te bieden. Een Europese studie door TNO en consultancybedrijf RAND Europe toont aan dat internetinnovatie nadelig uitpakt voor de privacy van gebruikers. Het advies luidt om bescherming van persoonsgegevens niet langer alleen als een recht te beschouwen, maar ook een economische waarde aan deze gegevens toe te kennen.
