trades were being made for charity. Instead, they had to rely on the negotiation skills they learned in class. One team’s trade began with help from San Antonio Spur Danny Green. Con- tacted through Instagram, Green agreed to meet the students at a local store and accepted their paper clip for a signed eight ball. The Paper Clip “Our team thought about how we could obtain something of value, and our first reaction was to trade with someone famous,” said Claire DeRocher, a junior busi- ness major. “Once we made the trade, we could tell him the project benefited a local charity.” Their final trade resulted in a microwave, futon and television being donated to the shelter. PROJECT Senior Emilio Cuellar’s experience with the paper clip project was more intense given that he had only five weeks to conduct the exercise during a summer session course. His team was charged with accumulating $500 worth of restaurant gift cards. “We learned that when we started using the negotiation tactics, a lot of success by Wendy Frost happened,” said Cuellar, a senior majoring in engineering and minoring in business. “We had to do one trade at a thrift store,” said Cuellar. “Our first tactic was to gather information on the store.

Cultural Attitudes Impact Charitable Behavior

Can someone’s geographic location impact their charitable behavior? According to a research study published in the Journal of Consumer Re- search by Professor Yinlong Zhang, cultural attitudes do influence giving. RESEARCH Zhang and his co-author Professor Karen Winterich at Penn State NOVEMBER 6 | 3:30 P.M. studied how power distance (a culture’s attitude toward human inequality) SHOWCASE BUSINESS BUILDING 2.06.04 influences philanthropic behavior. Individuals who come from countries that accept social inequality as part of their social hierarchy were found to have weaker perceptions of LEARN ABOUT CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH responsibility to aid others—resulting in decreases in charitable behavior. Consumers from countries who promote equality were more likely to FROM OUR RENOWNED FACULTY donate their time or money to help others. “We found substantial differences in the level of charitable behavior across countries,” said Zhang, a marketing faculty member. “Culture was found to impact giving more than income levels.” DESTRUCTIVE LEADERSHIP Interestingly, the researchers found that this power distance belief could be overcome in certain circumstances. Consumers from all countries were found to give at the same level when the need was INSIDER THREAT AUCTION FEVER viewed as uncontrollable, such as in the case of a natural disaster. Also, individuals were more willing to donate if the need came from an individual within their social group. SUPERSTARS IN SOFTWARE “The trend in marketing is to study these cross-cultural comparisons,” said Zhang. “Given the unique- ness of this research in power distance, the potential is unlimited for future studies in this field.” (210) 458-4313
