Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

Social contagion is ubiquitous in the day-to-day lives of consumers.

In the three essays constituting this dissertation, we ask how marketers and product designers can purposefully use social product design features to achieve superior managerial outcomes by harnessing social contagion. The first essay delineates the state-of the-art research on social contagion by systematically mapping the moderators of social contagion.
