The Implications of Feedback Frequency for Employee Creativity
(2022)
Managers are still floundering when they have to decide on the optimal level of feedback frequency; either when they consider themselves as a source of feedback, but also when they shape the feedback environment of their employees, e.g., by allowing more (or less) frequent customer feedback. Furthermore, given that feedback is a time-consuming task, managers might be reluctant to provide feedback frequently, foregoing a potentially powerful lever for increasing employee creativity. Ultimately, clarifying the ambiguities ...

Consumers’ Disposal Behavior at the Base of the Pyramid
(2024)
This dissertation explores the sources of sustainable waste management by examining the disposal behavior of low-income consumers at the base of the pyramid (BoP). Consumer product and package disposal behavior varies internationally and requires a selective strategy for waste management at the BoP.

One Way Logistics in Freight Transport
(2022)
The European railroad companies founded the International Container Bureau in Paris in 1933. The Swiss company Hupac successfully developed container transport with transalpine freight transport by rail between Germany and Italy. In the 1930s, Europe and the U.S. had agreed on a common ISO standard for 20 foot containers and 40 foot containers, so that empty containers could be exchanged between the various shipping companies in the global supply chains. But this standard is not compatible with the metric system of ...

Our sample comprised 299 French consumers of muesli cereals. We conducted an online choice experiment to analyze and measure consumers’ perception of sustainable packaging, comparing three distinct experimental groups. Findings revealed that quality and ...
