Research at the Institute for Value-Based Marketing 7
Research focus - Institute for Value-Based Marketing Marketing is more than just advertising Fact-based (marketing) decisions that increase both the value delivered to the customer and the fundamental value of the firm in a sustainable manner 8
Mission statement - Institute for Value-based Marketing Determine financial impact of marketing decisions Our research aims to quantify the effects of marketing activities on a company's success both direct (e.g. profit, shareholder value) and indirect (e.g. marketing value, customer value, client s sentiment). We are particularly interested in the challenges new media poses to modern marketing. We always put special emphasis on the link between methodological rigor and entrepreneurial (or social) relevance, i.e., our research is led by current issues of corporate practice. We aim to not only gain scientific insights, but also to provide tools to support companies in current and future challenges. We aim to make the knowledge we generate through our research available for students, companies, society, and other stakeholders (e.g. analysts, investors). 9
