...to learn not only subject matter through traditional methods in a classroom, but foundational learning through experiences obtained directly in the workplace. The terminology used today for this student experience is referred to as experiential learning. This experiential learning comes in two forms, either (1) learning by yourself or (2) through experiential education (learning through programs established by others). You can kindly refer to learning by yourself as “nature’s way of learning” as it occurs as a direct participation in the life cycle. However experiential education can be defined more succinctly as a structured approach, using experiences and the direction of others to create the learning curve. The issue at hand is simple - does participatory (experiential) education create critical thinkers among our students and make them more aware of and able to more easily solve the problem(s) at hand? Our diligence has focused on two distinctly different courses in two different semesters (fall 2011 and spring 2012) in two different business disciplines (business marketing and entrepreneurship) at two distinctly different universities (Wagner College and Monmouth University) with one similar problem, is there a significant benefit to experiential learning over traditional classroom pedagogy? Our findings are profound in the respect that both the participating subjects (students) and the participating businesses achieved significant benefits when this...

...Key Words: customer experience, branding, differentiation, experiential platform. Esma Cavusoglu Postal Address: Kure İletisim Grubu Elmadag, Cumhuriyet Cad. Pegasus Evi 48/3B Taksim 34367 Istanbul / Turkey Customer Experience as a Means of Brand Differentiation Abstract In today’s customer–dominated business world, there exists the “brand indifferentiation” problem that concerns the difficulty of the customers to perceive the differences between a certain brand and its competitors. This situation calls for a close look at the relationship between the consumer behaviour, branding and differentiation. Taking into consideration the proliferation of products, increasing information flow through digital technologies, fast commoditization and competition in today’s world, differentiation and brand positioning relying on traditional frame, have no longer been resulting the expected performance. Constitution of brand differentiation in the minds/hearts of customers entails to re-evaluate the meaning of consumption for consumers, how consumers make their choices, what the brand the consumer prefered means to him, and what can make a brand different than the others for a customer. In this paper, these issues are examined and the solution to indifferentiation is linked with the concepts of “experience” and “experiential marketing”. Key Words: customer experience, branding, differentiation, experiential platform. 1. Introduction Since, a brand is a product...

...A Study on Violence Against Buddhism by Korean Protestantism: Centering on the Wonmyeong Temple and Bongeun Temple Incidents Introduction: Violent Attacks on Buddhism by Protestants In the past, there have been numerous incidents where extremist Korean Protestants have damaged statues of the Buddha or Buddhist temples. Such incidents pose serious risks to society as these examples of destruction do not only disregard a certain religion, but are also highly violent in nature. Many high-profile cases have been reported: Arson of the Daejeokgwangjeon of Geumsansa Temple in 1986; the destruction of a stone pagoda and lantern of Okcheonam Temple in Hongeun-dong in 1989; the damaging of the Tangible Cultural Asset No. 17 stone-carved Buddha Statue in 1989; the enclosing of a shrine and burning of a Buddha statue by an army officer in Siheung, Gyeonggi-do in 1993; the arrest of a pastor and his fellows by local police officers for destroying a Buddha statue in Thailand in 1994; a Buddhist accidently killed while he was trying to prevent a Christian from intruding into a Buddhist monastery to distribute Christian missionary materials in 1996; the destruction, damage of 750 Buddha statues in Jeju by a Christian (named Kim) in his attempt to transform Wonmyeong Temple into a church in 1998; the damaging of the Buddha statue at Dongguk University in 2000; and the frenzy over a video clip about missionary students doing a performance involving stepping on the Bongeun Temple site...

...CHAPTER 2 WHAT IS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING? James W. Gentry Members of ABSEL are dedicated to the proposition that students can learn from experience. Most people adhere to the notion of “trial and error” learning. Various ABSEL participants have used the following quote, attributed to Confucius, to express their conviction that experiential learning is effective: I HEAR AND I FORGET I SEE AND I REMEMBER I DO AND I UNDERSTAND.1 Others have cited Sophocles’ quote from 400 B.C., “One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it-you have no certainty, until you try.” Or, one could quote George Santayana, “The great difficulty of education is to get experience out of ideas.” It is hard to argue that experience will not lead to learning under the right conditions. However, it will be argued that the resultant learning can be in error unless care is taken to assure that those conditions occur. The purpose of this chapter is to delineate the components of “experiential learning” so that the necessary conditions for “proper” learning can be specified. While most pedagogies allow students to learn experientially to some extent, an attempt will be made to distinguish those approaches which would be more likely to facilitate experiential learning. While the title of the chapter implies a focus on learning (the student perspective), to a large extent the chapter actually focuses on the structuring of the experience (the teacher perspective). What the student takes away...

... Although an unexpected high percentage (23%) of experientials patronized the restaurant in 2008 (Red Lobster Case, 2010), the shrinking middle class makes it embarrassing to serve both experientials who expect the best service and price sensitive customers at the same time. Neither the rich nor the poor will choose Red Lobster since rich people will directly go to fine dining restaurants because they expect top notch service, and the low income people tend to spend more time eating at home (Gustafson, 2012). For a chain restaurant as large as Red Lobster, it should not go premium and change its customer base to experientials because of potential market opportunities and its own operating features. Segmentation The revenue brought by more profitable experientials will be offset by the loss of other 70% price sensitive customers because they can not afford the costly upscale service. It is true that experientials account for 23% of total customers and contribute more to profits. Indeed, the three phase plan has attracted many experientials that the company has not expected. However, they could not represent the company’s new customer base since 23% of them are far from enough when compared to 70% of price sensitive customers that include indulgents, traditionals, and frugals. Moreover, the tragic story of K-mart tells a truth that turning too abruptly to another customer base may cause a company to lose its core brand value. Sticking to the original customers is a better choice...

...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 of perceived experiential value (Bulearca and Tamarjan,2010). There is little known data on the long term effects of this type marketing due to a lack of benchmarks, and research studies. However, the purpose...

...THE INTERNATIONALIZATION PROCESS OF THE FIRM-A MODEL OF KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT AND INCREASING FOREIGN MARKET COMMITMENTS JAN JOHANSON' Center of International Business Studies University of Uppsala JAN-ERIK VAHLNE' Institute of International Business Stockholm School of Economics Abstract. O n the basis of empirical research, a model of the internationalization process of the firm is developed. The model fccuses on the gradual acquisition, integration and use of knowledge about foreign markets and operations, and on the incrementally increasing commitments to foreign markets. In particular, attention is concentrated on the increasing involvement in the individual foreign country. ' , .?.. . ' 1 .ti-. ;,..,, ,--.7p.p. . & , Several studies of international business have indicated that internationalization of the firms is a process in which the firms gradually increase their international involvement. It seems reasonable to assume that, within the frame of economic and business factors, the characteristics of this process influence the pattern and pace of internationalization of firms. In this paper we develop a model of the internationalization process of the firm that focuses on the development of the individual firm, and particularly on its gradual acquisltion, integration, and use of knowledge about foreign markets and operations, and on its successively increasing commitment to foreign markets. The basic assumptions of the model are that...

...Developmental Game Part II: The Construction of a Developmental Game Appropriate for Adults: A Slide Presentation With Accompanying Notes Part II: The Construction of a Developmental Game Appropriate for Adults: A Slide Presentation With Accompanying Notes Rationale for Part II Project Application As an instructor, this writer is charged with the responsibility of challenging students to strengthen critical thinking skills while developing an understanding of course material. College students taking an adult development course are expected to apply critical thinking skills when studying developmental theory and research. This requires that they examine their own assumptions and discern their hidden values. In addition, critical thinking involves their evaluation of evidence and the assessment of conclusions. An important aspect of such a scientific approach is the attitude of humility. Critical thinking requires the humble scrutiny of competing ideas. Students must understand that they may have to reject their own preconceptions (Myers, 2004). One must acknowledge the potentially biasing effects of preconceived ideas. Such ideas can evolve from a number of sources including culture and environment. In contemporary American culture, some regard the aging process view as being undesirable. For them, the term old connotes an inevitable future involving physical frailty, narrow-mindedness, incompetence, and loss of attraction. ...

...Global and Local Strategic Contexts: Expatriate Knowledge Transfer, Applications and Learning within a Transnational Organization Abstract In this paper we investigate how expatriates contribute to the transnational firm’s strategic objectives of global efficiency, national (‘local’) responsiveness, and worldwide learning. We focus on their knowledge applications and experiential learning, two assignment-based outcomes of potential strategic value to the firm. We assess how these outcomes are impacted by the expatriate’s everyday knowledge access and communication activities, measured by their frequency and geographic extent. Within our case organization, a prototype transnational firm, we find that the expatriates’ knowledge applications result from their frequent knowledge access and communication with the corporate headquarters and other global units of the firm. In contrast, their experiential learning derives from a frequent access to host country (local) knowledge that is subsequently adapted to the global corporate context. From a practical perspective we view the knowledge gained through experiential learning as an invaluable resource for both present and future corporate assignments. 1 In their analysis of global business strategy and organizational design, Bartlett and Ghoshal (1988, 1989)...

It comprises types of research, definitions of quantitative research, different types and assumptions of quantitative research, when to use and not to use quantitative methods, advantages, common approaches and samples of quantitative research, and common misconceptions. Besides, a set of criteria for evaluating quantitative research proposal is provided. The main focus is on the assumptions underlying the quantitative research and some of the misconceptions that many researchers have when they are conducting a research study. Types of Research It is not easy to say how many types of research there are because different researchers or educators may use different criteria to classify research types. Generally speaking, research can be classified into 3 main groups based on the application of the research study, its objectives in undertaking the research and how the information is sought. Each group can be subdivided into different types as follows: (Kumar, 1996) Types of research Applications Pure research Applied research Types of information sought Objectives Descriptive research Correlational research Exploratory research Explanatory research Quantitative research Qualitative research Figure 1. Types of research Research can also be classified according to the time when the data are collected for investigation Therefore, it can be divided into 3 main...
