Correspondence Iman Naderi, Department of Marketing and Logistics, College of Business, University of North Texas, 1155 Union Circle 311396, Denton, Texas 76203-5017, USA. E-mail: iman.naderi@unt.edu doi: 10.1111/j.1470-6431.2011.01041.x Abstract Fashion involvement has been regarded as an important research topic in consumer research. Despite the importance of this topic, no attempt has been made in the past to review, assess and consolidate extant research on fashion involvement. This study presents a comprehensive and critical review and analysis of the recent studies on involvement in the context of fashion clothing to indicate the current state and identify possible gaps. A content analysis of the current peer-reviewed journal articles published on this research topic reveals a paucity of research on a number of antecedents and consequences of involvement. Further, the findings show that the research method is biased towards the survey method as opposed to experimentation. In this paper, the results of the content analysis outlining methodologies, sample characteristics, variables and major findings are provided and analysed, followed by directions for future research...

...Analysis 1 Adalgis Hirwa Texas A&M University - Central Texas Analysis 1: Chapter 2 and 5, Harvard Business Review Article Instructor: Dr. Salazar Course: MKTK 301-110 Analysis 1 Chapter two and five of the textbook and the Harvard Business Review article overlap in several areas. They both discuss development of successful marketing strategies using data to learn about their market targets and the important role marketing plays in overall business plan. One major difference discussed in the article and not found in the textbook that I felt was important was the concept of total experience for the customer. The major challenge currently being faced by marketers is that the organization of the marketing function is stuck in the past. According to the Harvard Business Review article, there must be some strategies, structures, and capabilities that need to be taken by marketers in order to excel. For example, the researches done by Marketing 2020 showed that more than 10,000 marketing executives globally perform differently due to high performance. For instance, High performers excelled in their ability to leverage customer insight, communicate a social purpose, and deliver a rich customer experience. The winning characteristics associated with high performing organizations are the big data, deep insights, purposeful positioning, and total experience. -The five drivers of organizational effectiveness are connection, inspiration, focus, organization for agility...

...Hypothesis Identification Article Analysis Hypothesis Identification Article Analysis Augmented Reality Experimental Marketing is the basis for this Hypothesis Identification Article Analysis. The hypothesis of the study was to determine if the Augmented Reality Experimental Marketing (AREM) is a sustainable marketing tool (Bulearca and Tamarjan,2010). This tool will allow more access and marketing opportunities online. The main focus was to determine if this tool is marketable and beneficial for companies or their brands. To conduct the testing focus groups were used. This method was chosen because it offers great discussions like everyday conversations with no restraints. A pilot study will be implemented to amend any questions prior to the focus group study. The technique of peer checking was instituted to find blind spots and ensure the validiality of the questions. Member checking was used to verify the accuracy of the study and enables the researcher to get valuable feedback from the focus group. A good description of participants was provided to ensure the case study focus groups were viable and can be used for further research. The use of Augmented Reality as a form of experiential marketing during the past two years has been raising numerous controversies regarding its long-term benefits, extending from AR being only a promotional tool, to AR effectively contributing to a positive customer-brand relationship and to customer satisfaction through the creation...
