  • Tower Views June 2020
    Tower Views June 2020 Patricia’s Travels, Part 1 atricia Sargent, age 70, has traveled extensively in the US and Great Britain and P briefly to Mexico and Canada. Her photos of the places she has visited, along with her journal, document the highlights of her trips. Now that she is unable to travel, these are her memories about specific journeys. She says that the most memorable trips are “what I’ve fallen into”. Patricia’s planned journeys to places of interest began when she was in her late 40’s. About 5 years earlier, she made some life changes that made her travels possible. She sold her car and relied on public transportation and also chose not be a homeowner. Her frugality and a favorable work situation got her started. Patricia did very little traveling while she was growing up in Minnesota. At age 17, her grandparents took her to Chicago, where they enjoyed the Museum of Science and Industry and the lake. They rode on the el train, which felt new and fascinating to Patricia. A second trip to Chicago took place years later when her boss’s wife’s passed on some frequent flyer miles. This time, Patricia went to the Sears Tower and ate at a “white linen restaurant” where she had her first (delicious) spinach salad. At the age of 48 Patricia made her first trip to New York City to see a Gershwin concert at Carnegie Hall. She “scrimped and saved” for about a year and planned with a friend to make the visit happen.

  • ON NOVEMBER 30, 1928, a New Company Was Listed on the New York Stock Exchange
    ON NOVEMBER 30, 1928, a new company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Formed through the merger of several regional milling companies, General Mills would grow to become one of the largest food companies in the world. To mark that 75th anniversary, this book celebrates 75 years of innovation, invention, food and fun – both inside and outside the kitchen – in America and around the world. PROLOGUE 1 PROLOGUE It would be difficult to capture our rich history in a thousand pages. There are simply too many stories to tell. But this opportunity only comes once – and we couldn’t let it pass. On the 75th anniversary of the creation of General Mills – in our 137th year as a company – we wanted to pause to commemorate at least some of the historical highlights of a great American company. But where to start? With the creation of General Mills in 1928? Or at the beginning, on the banks of the Mississippi River in 1866? And what of the many companies with which General Mills has been intertwined? What of Pillsbury and Green Giant? What of Kenner and Parker Brothers, Red Lobster and Burger King? What of the products we invented together and the brands we built together? It was simple really. Pillsbury’s history is our history. Green Giant, Old El Paso, Colombo and Häagen-Dazs are here – alive within General Mills. Of the rest we chose to include a little of each, because they too are a part of us. And while we take no credit for the success they enjoy today, we are proud to have shared the same path for at least part of our shared history.

    i WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BRAND? THE MODERATING EFFECT OF BRAND NOSTALGIA ON CONSUMER RESPONSES TO CHANGED BRANDS A dissertation submitted to the Kent State University College of Business in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Alison B. Shields April 2012 ii iii Abstract Marketers often make changes to brands to make the brand seem current or exciting. Some updates are successful while others are spectacular failures. This dissertation establishes a connection between consumer acceptance or rejection of updated brands and the consumer’s reported brand nostalgia. In this dissertation, I refine the current marketing definitions of nostalgia to develop a more specific construct of brand nostalgia, develop a scale to measure the construct of brand nostalgia, examine the differences between schemas for nostalgic brands and non-nostalgic brands, and show that consumers’ affective and attitudinal responses to changes in a brand are moderated by brand nostalgia. Nostalgia has been defined as “a positively toned evocation of a lived past” (Davis 1979), and “a fondness for possessions and activities associated with days of yore” (Holbrook 1993). Consumers have been observed to engage in nostalgic behaviors, from re-watching favorite old movies (Holbrook, 1993) to reminiscing about favorite cars from their youth (Brown, Kozinets and Sherry 2003) to consuming specific foods as a way to reconnect with the past (Loveland, Smeesters and Mandel, 2010). Consumers have also reported nostalgic feelings for particular brands or items (Holbrook and Schindler 2003). When individuals recall nostalgic memories, they recall affect and brand information stored in their schema for the target brand (Collins and Loftus 1975).
