An Exploration of Member Involvement with Online Brand Communities (Obcs) AN EXLORATION OF MEMBER INVOLVEMENT WITH ONLINE BRAND COMMUNITIES (OBCs) by Mary Loonam A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Marketing Birmingham Business School College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham October 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Despite growth in research investigating online consumer behaviour there appears to be a lack of study focusing specifically on how consumers are involved within online settings. Involvement is defined as the perceived relevance of a stimulus object such as a product to the individual consumer (Zaichkowsky, 1984). The study of consumer involvement is valuable as it is believed to be important mediator of consumer behaviour in the extant literature (e.g. Slater and Armstrong, 2010; Knox, Walker and Marshall, 1994). Involvement is thought to consist of two forms namely enduring involvement and situational involvement which respectively denote long-term and temporary interest in the stimulus object (Houston and Rothschild, 1978). Components such as personal interest, sign value, hedonic value and perceived risk have been conceptualised as evoking involvement (Kapferer and Laurent, 1993). However, less is known about the forms and components that constitute online consumer involvement. This study explores member involvement with Online Brand Communities (OBCs) focusing specifically on two questions: (1) What is involving about OBCs? (2) How are members involved with OBCs? The study employs a netnographic methodology consisting of participant observation of two OBCs over a nine month period. Based on the findings from the observation data two conceptual models relating to the characteristics and development of member involvement with the OBC are presented. The ‘Typology of Online Community Involvement’ model identifies four distinct types of member involvement with the OBC: (1) utilitarian involvement, (2) social involvement, (3) ego-related involvement, and (4) affective involvement. The ‘Journey of Member Involvement with the OBC’ model charts the different pathways that members who are involved with the OBC may undertake during their membership and develops the idea of situational involvement to include an extended form called repeat situational involvement which relates to member involvement with OBC on an intermittent basis due mainly to product or purchase queries. The findings provide deeper insights into online consumer behaviour such as triggers that prompt members’ initial and continued involvement with OBCs. Recommendations for management focus on developing tools and strategies that help cultivate and sustain member involvement with the OBC. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisors Prof Isabelle Szmigin and Dr Deirdre O’Loughlin for their guidance, patience and encouragement in undertaking this research. I would like to thank the individuals who participated in the two Online Brand Communities under observation. Finally, thanks to my family, friends and colleagues at Dublin City University for their support and encouragement during the PhD journey. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

Hermès has remained a American consumers family business for generations and has successfully avoided recent acquisition women’s accessories attempts by luxury group LVMH. Almost half of the luxury firm’s revenue ($1.5bn status consumption in 2012) is derived from the sale of its leather goods and saddlery, which includes its aspirational brands handbags. A large contributor to sales is global demand for one of its leather acces- sories, the Birkin bag, ranging in price from $10,000 to $250,000. Increased demand for the bag in the United States since 2002 resulted in an extensive customer waitlist lasting from months to a few years. Hermès retired the famed waitlist (sometimes called the ‘dream list’) in the United States in 2010, and while the waitlist has been removed, demand for the Birkin bag has not diminished and making the bag available to luxury consumers requires extensive, careful distribution management.

  • Gestalt Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).

  • From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model
    Chapter 12 From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I What the specs mean I The specs for every Mac model ever made I Secrets of the pre-PowerPC Mac models I Just how much your Mac has devalued Yes, we’ve already been told that we’re nuts to attempt the next two chapters of this book. Since 1984, Apple has created more than 140 different Mac models — including 35 different PowerBooks and 53 different Performas! Each year, Apple piles on another dozen or so new models. By the time you finish reading this page, another Performa model probably will have been born. So, writing a couple of chapters that are supposed to describe every model is an exercise in futility. But we’re going to attempt it anyway, taking the models one by one and tracking their speeds, specs, and life cycles. This chapter will cover all the Apple Macs — both desktop and portable models — from the birth of the original Macintosh 128K to the release of the PowerBook 190, the last Mac ever made that was based on Motorola’s 68000-series processor chip. When you’re finished reading this chapter, you will be one of the few people on Earth who actually knows the difference between a Performa 550, 560, 575, 577, 578, 580, and 588. 375 376 Part II: Secrets of the Machine Chapter 13 will cover every Power Mac — or, more accurately, every PowerPC-based machine (those with four-digit model numbers) — from the first ones released in 1994 to the models released just minutes before this book was printed.

  • The Powerpc Macs: Model by Model
    Chapter 13 The PowerPC Macs: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I The PowerPC chip I The specs for every desktop and portable PowerPC model I What the model numbers mean I Mac clones, PPCP, and the future of PowerPC In March 1994, Apple introduced a completely new breed of Mac — the Power Macintosh. After more than a decade of building Macs around the Motorola 68000, 68020, 68030, and 68040 chips, Apple shifted to a much faster, more powerful microprocessor — the PowerPC chip. From the start, Apple made it clear it was deadly serious about getting these Power Macs into the world; the prices on the original models were low, and prices on the second-generation Power Macs dropped lower still. A well- equipped Power Mac 8500, running at 180 MHz, with 32MB of RAM, a 2 GB hard drive, and a eight-speed CD-ROM drive costs about $500 less than the original Mac SE/30! When the Power Macs were first released, Apple promised that all future Mac models would be based on the PowerPC chip. Although that didn’t immediately prove to be the case — the PowerBook 500 series, the PowerBook 190, and the Quadra 630 series were among the 68040-based machines released after the Power Macs — by the fall of 1996, Macs with four-digit model numbers (PowerPC-based Power Macs, LCs, PowerBooks, and Performas) were the only computers still in production. In less than two years, 429 430 Part II: Secrets of the Machine the Power Mac line has grown to over 45 models.
