Children and Young People‟S Developing Concept of Perceived Value Children and Young People‟s Developing Concept of Perceived Value By i Janine Williams A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Marketing School of Marketing and International Business Victoria University of Wellington 2012 Abstract This thesis examines value perception as part of the decision to purchase, from the perspective of the child consumer. To date no academic research has defined the concept of value perception from a child‟s perspective. On the basis of a two stage qualitative investigation with children aged eight to fourteen years, value for children was found to be an important concept in consumer decisions. Even from the age of eight years, evidence emerged that children were quite „canny‟ in their purchasing. While value was found to be comprised of benefits and costs of purchase for children from this young age, the nature of these factors and the way they contributed to value i perception varied considerably as they grew older. Six distinct dimensions emerged from diaries and a series of in-depth interviews with children. The benefits which were identified were functional value, emotional value, social value and curiosity/novelty value while the costs included both price and risk related factors. The way in which the dimensions were considered was found to vary with age, changing from separate consideration of benefits and costs to a more adult like trade- off between the two. The emotional value of products was consistently important for children of all ages, sensory response in particular. Several concepts were found to become increasingly complex. Conceptual understanding of quality emerged as children grew older. Branding was found to be central to children‟s value perceptions despite limited conceptual understanding for very young consumers and the way price was considered changed markedly with age and experience. A conceptual model defining perceived value from a child‟s perspective is detailed and a series of propositions relating important conditions to perceived value are advanced. A discussion of the findings as they relate to the extant literature is provided along with directions for future research, building on the results of this work. Finally, a discussion of the implications of this work for the field of Marketing is presented. i Acknowledgements It is a wonderful feeling to be writing my acknowledgements for this thesis. It has been a long journey and many people have contributed along the way. First and foremost I want to thank my supervisors Professor Peter Thirkell and Professor Nicholas Ashill. Peter has been a constant source of encouragement, guidance and support throughout the process and believed in me from the beginning when I returned to university and changed direction from my earlier Chemistry degree. Nick has also been an inspiring and supportive mentor remaining as my supervisor even when he left Victoria University of Wellington to join the American University of Sharjah. Both these professors made valuable suggestions and questioned me at each step to help improve my work. They are both inspiring teachers and people. They invest their time and energy unselfishly to share their knowledge and help others succeed. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of Professor Michel Rod in the development of the research approach. I would like to thank my fellow PhD students who I have met along the way and who have made the journey so much fun. I would particularly like to thank Dr Nick Thompson, with whom I shared an office and Dr Aaron Gazley. We shared many lunches and laughs together. Dr Kate Daellenbach has also been a great friend and support throughout the process. My fellow PhD student and colleague in tutoring Lachlan McLaren has been a wonderful friend in more recent times as have my current office mates Suzana Samsudi and Vu Dang. Vu has also generously shared his technical knowledge. I would like to thank the staff of the School of Marketing and International Business for teaching me, encouraging me and providing me with a scholarship and employment which allowed me to complete this degree. Finally, this thesis would not have been possible without the support of my family. My husband, Paul has helped me, supported my decision to return to University and loved me throughout, which has not always been easy. My sister Kathryn has been a second „mum‟ to our children as well as encouraging me, listening and making me laugh. Our three children Jessie, Ollie and Tim believed in me and came in to university whenever they got the chance. My parents, Dawn and Alan came to Wellington at times when I had exams or deadlines to meet. I would particularly like ii to thank my mum, Dawn who stepped in to help out whenever I needed her. I would like to thank my brother in-law Carl for proof reading my thesis and for generally providing useful philosophies on life. My parents-in-law Bev and Ian were happy to help out whenever they were in Wellington. I also had the support and encouragement of my brother and sister in-law who also were completing postgraduate study. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Finally all my friends who have helped me along the way – Adele, Kate, Gabe, Tess, Emma, Jan, Sarah, Susie, Russell, Dave and Mark thank you for your friendship! iii Table of Contents Chapter 1.

  • A Fabled LEGO® Brick History
    A Fabled LEGO® Brick History The LEGO Group’s decision to hand off the development of LEGO® Star Wars™: The Video Game to an outside group in the early 2000s was both difficult to make and not well- informed, said Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, who was the CEO of the LEGO Group at the time and is now the executive chairman of LEGO Brand Group. “It was a very difficult decision,” he said. “And I think also a decision that unfortunately, was biased by having a management team – not least including myself and the board of directors – that actually knew relatively little about this massive market of video gaming.” In retrospect, Knudstorp said, the LEGO Group should have probably struck a deal similar to the one made about LEGOLAND, which included the LEGO Group maintaining an ownership stake. Kristiansen recreating, in 2008, an image of he and his sister playing with a LEGO set in 1958. Instead, Giant Interactive maintained not just full ownership of the 2005 game, but – for a time – had full global rights to all LEGO video games. Knudstorp said that ultimately the company learned a lot of important lessons through that deal. “I think from the beginning we should have taken an equity stake to be able to co-invest and co-influence and be part of that journey, while recognizing that we might not be the best operators of that company.” Importantly, he added, it wasn’t about the money, but rather the LEGO Group’s ability to better help shape the direction of the studio by being more directly involved.

Often we add the words “for children” to our motto because children are at the heart of all our activities – they are our most vital concern. In saying that only the best is good enough for children, we are stating our determination to give them the best and most fun experience in their play. An experience which at the same time develops such skills as creative problem‑solving, teamwork, motor skills and creativity. That is precisely the kind of thing the LEGO® brick can deliver, and it remains the keystone of our entire approach to business. But our focus is not confined to children. We also want to be the best business partner, the best employer, the best supplier. And with this in mind, the LEGO Group constantly strives for continued improvement. That doesn’t mean we never make mistakes. But it means that we try to learn from any mistakes we do make.
