Schöller Fellow Trio publishes paper in Journal of Marketing
Schöller Fellow Dr. Lukas Maier, Schöller Senior Fellow Prof. Dr. Martin Schreier and Schöller Fellow PD Dr. Christian Baccarella together with Prof. Dr. Kai-Ingo Voigt (Chair of Industrial Management at the School of Business, Economics and Society at FAU) published a paper in the Journal of Marketing, one of the world’s leading A+ journals in the field of marketing.
In the paper “University Knowledge Inside: How and When University-Industry Collaborations Make New Products More Attractive to Consumers“, the team of authors demonstrates in a total of eight empirical studies that collaboration between industrial companies and universities in the development of new products is perceived positively by consumers and significantly increases the likelihood of purchasing these products. Positive effects are already evident in higher click-through rates for digital ads, e.g. on Instagram. Development cooperation between companies and universities also promotes consumers’ willingness to pay – an increase in willingness to pay of up to 65% was demonstrated in this study. In further analyses, the results will be differentiated according to whether the products are high-tech or low-tech, whether they are developed by startups or established companies, and the general attitude of consumers toward science and research.

Crowdsourcing generates up to thousands of ideas per contest. The selection of best ideas is costly because of the limited number, objectivity, and attention of experts. Using a data set of 21 crowdsourcing contests that include 4,191 ideas, the team of authors test how artificial intelligence can assist experts in screening ideas.
