Data mining has been applied to CRM (Customer Relationship Management) in many industries witha limitedsuccess. Most data mining tools can only discover customer models or profiles (such as customers who are likely attritors and customers who are loyal), but not actions that would improve customer relationship (such as changing attritors to loyal customers). We describe a novel algorithm that s...

Group loyalty is highly valued. However, little is known about young children’s loyal behavior. This study tested whether 4and 5-year-olds (N=96) remain loyal to their group even when betraying it would be materially advantageous. Children and four puppets were allocated to novel groups. Two of these puppets (either in-group or outgroup members) then told children about their group’s secret boo...

(2014). Consensus of discrete-time multi-agent systems with adversaries and time delays. This paper studies the resilient asymptotic consensus problem for discrete-time Multi-Agent Systems in the presence of adversaries and transmission delays. The network is assumed to have p loyal agents and n − p adversarial agents, and each loyal agent in the network has no knowledge of the network topology...

Maybe not. Careful study of the relationship between customer loyalty and profits plumbed from 16,000 customers in four companies' databases tells a different story.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This study aimed to examine IDA members' views, with a view to identifying changes that might enhance the members' active engagement. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

We study a model where retailers endogenously engage in both promotional advertising to attract loyal customers as well as informational advertising, which consists of deciding whether and what price to list on a price comparison site. We derive a symmetric subgame perfect equilibrium of the model and study the limiting properties of equilibrium prices, promotion, and listing decisions as the n...

I this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of a firm’s proactive management of customer-to-customer communication. We are particularly interested in understanding how, if at all, the firm should go about effecting meaningful word-of-mouth (WOM) communications. To tackle this problem, we collect data from two sources: (1) we implement a large-scale field test in which a national firm created...
