This study examines the effects of print ad execution variables on attention and processing as measured by Starch Noted, Associated, and Read most scores—on a univariate basis, then multivariate, and finally within the quadrants of the Rossiter–Percy–Bellman (RPB) Grid. Findings show that...

Since its first introduction in the Schmalenbach Business Review, Hahn et al.’s (2002) finite mixture partial least squares (FIMIX-PLS) approach to response-based segmentation in variance-based structural equation modeling has received much attention from the marketing and management...

In the social science disciplines, the assumption that the data stem from a single homogeneous population is often unrealistic in respect of empirical research. When applying a causal modeling approach, such as partial least squares path modeling, segmentation is a key issue in coping with the...

The evaluation criteria for most marketing and management journals underline the importance of student samples' characteristics and how well they represent the population being studied. However, the predominance of student samples in empirical marketing and management research is sufficient...
