Doing good by sharing messages: An investigation of “You Share, We Donate” campaigns and how they can attain viral success
(Elsevier, 2023-02) Wen, Xiaohan Hannah ; Kim, S.; Bowen, M.; Business Administration; WEN, Xıaohan
With the rise of social media, companies are engaging in a new type of cause-related marketing classified as "You Share, We Donate" (YSWD) campaigns. YSWD campaigns encourage consumers to share the company's campaign message, with the promise that the company will donate to a designated cause, and the total donation amount is linked to the number of "shares" the message gets. Thus, the success of these campaigns depends on the campaign's virality. In order to understand what organizations need to do to set up successful YSWD cam-paigns, we investigate the linkage between donation cap (non-)specification-an important design element-and YSWD campaign success. The results of the analyses of 574 real-world YSWD campaigns and four experiments show that donation cap non-specification encourages consumers to share the campaign message more than when a donation cap is specified. However, this effect diminishes if a company is perceived as highly credible.

A lure or a turn-off: social media reactions to business model innovation announcements
(Springer, 2023-03) Bowen, M.; Wen, Xiaohan Hannah; Kim, S.; Business Administration; WEN, Xıaohan
How do people react to business model innovation (BMI) announcements on social media? Is the analysis of social media reactions to BMI announcements a fruitful method for assessing the potential and pitfalls of BMIs? This research provides a novel perspective by answering these questions using a multi-case study approach. Our results show that social media reactions to BMI announcements can provide first indications of the success or failure of a BMI as well as initial information on how to further adjust the BMI. However, our results also indicate that classical means of assessing the success of innovations (i.e., through assessing the valence of user reactions) are not effective in the context of BMIs.

The photocatalytic effects of textile materials treated with TiO2 and Fe/TiO2
(Institutul Naţional de Cercetare-Dezvoltare pentru Textile şi Pielărie, 2015) Dumitrescu, I.; Iordache, O.; Popescu, A.; Varzaru, E.; Kim, S.; Başım, Gül Bahar; Ükelge, G.; Mechanical Engineering; BAŞIM DOĞAN, Gül Bahar
The research has been focused on the photocatalytic activity of the textile materials treated with TiO2 and TiO2 iron doped by pad-dry-cure and cationization - pad-dry-cure. The fabrics have been exposed to UV and visible light. The photocatalytic efficiency was evaluated by measuring the color differences (dL∗da∗db, dE∗, dC∗, dH∗) of the exposed and un-exposed samples on a Hunterlab spectrophotometer. The anti-fungal activity was assessed according modified ISO 20743:2007 standard. The results show that under visible light, independent of treatment used (padding or] cationization - padding), the highest discoloration is produced by TiO2-Fe on polyester. Under UV light, the highest discoloration is produced by TiO2-Fe only for the cationized materials. The cationization pre-treatment has no positive effect on MB photodegradation, the colour and lightness difference being similar or smaller than those obtained in the case of padding treatment without cationization. The degree of discoloration of PET and PET/co fabrics stained with MB is higher under visible light then under UV light. In the case of cotton, a slightly higher discoloration under UV light is noticed. All samples yielded very good reduction rates of Candida a., with 100% reduction for samples treated by padding. The reduction rates of Epidermophyton f. varies between 46.87% (D-V1-Fe) and to 99.18 % for A-V2-Fe.

The ultimate co-creation: leveraging customer input in business model innovation
(Springer, 2019-12) Kim, S.; Bowen, M.; Wen, Xiaohan Hannah; Business Administration; WEN, Xıaohan
In order to stay competitive, organizations need to regularly revamp and innovate their business model (BM). A key catalyst for innovation—acknowledged by managers as well as academics—is input from customers. However, the functional aspect of customer input in the process of business model innovation (BMI) is still ambiguous. In this paper, we explore the role of customers in the process of BMI and propose a conceptual model that links customer input to BMI success. Particularly, our model demonstrates how customer input is generated and how organizations can efficiently and effectively manage such input to enhance the performance of their newly innovated BM. This proposed model provides managers with a basis for developing actionable plans to reach customers, utilize their input during the BMI process, and enhance BMI success.
