Online marketing:When to offer a refund for advanced sales
Advance selling is a marketing strategy commonly used by online retailers to increase sales by exploiting consumer valuation uncertainty. Recently, some online retailers have started to allow refunds on products sold in advance. On the one hand this reduces the net advance sales, but on the other hand it allows a higher advance sales price. This research is the first to explore the overall effect of allowing a refund on profits from advance sales, identifying conditions where advance selling with or without refunds (or no advance selling at all) is best. We analytically compare the profits of three advance selling strategies: none, without refund, and with refund. We show that selling in advance and allowing a refund is optimal for products with a relatively small profit margin and small strategic market size, and that the added profit can be considerable. Our results guide managers in selecting the right advance selling strategy. To facilitate this, we graphically display, based on the two dimensions of regular profit margin and strategic market size, under what conditions the different strategies are optimal
Optimization of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) marketing channels in China: a case study
JEL classification: M31The operation conditions of marketing channels, regarded as the crucial external
resources of enterprises, directly influence the market position of a company. Good marketing
channels are significant links for enterprises to perceive market change and adjust enterprise

optimization by using fast moving consuming goods (FMCG) as the focus of the research

Digital work in the planetary market
Many of the worldâs most valuable companies rely on planetary networks of digital work that underpin their products and services. This important book examines implications for both work and workers when jobs are commodified and traded beyond local labor markets. For instance, Amazonâs contractors in Costa Rica, India, and Romania are paid to structure, annotate, and organize conversations captured by âAlexaâ to train Amazonâs speech recognition systems. Findings show that despite its planetary connections, labor remains geographically âstickyâ and embedded in distinct contexts. The research emphasizes the globe-spanning nature of contemporary networks without resorting to an understanding of âthe globalâ as a place beyond space.Aujourdâhui, de nombreux emplois peuvent ĂȘtre exercĂ©s depuis nâimporte oĂč. La technologie numĂ©rique et la connectivitĂ© Internet gĂ©nĂ©ralisĂ©e permettent Ă presque nâimporte qui, nâimporte oĂč, de se connecter Ă nâimporte qui dâautre pour communiquer et interagir Ă lâĂ©chelle planĂ©taire. Ce livre examine les consĂ©quences, tant pour le travail que pour les travailleurs, de la marchandisation et de lâĂ©change des emplois au-delĂ des marchĂ©s du travail locaux. Allant au-delĂ du discours habituel sur la mondialisation « le monde est plat », les contributeurs examinent Ă la fois la transformation du travail lui-mĂȘme et les systĂšmes, rĂ©seaux et processus plus larges qui permettent le travail numĂ©rique dans un marchĂ© planĂ©taire, en offrant des perspectives empiriques et thĂ©oriques. Les contributeurs - des universitaires et des experts de premier plan issus de diverses disciplines - abordent une variĂ©tĂ© de questions, notamment la modĂ©ration du contenu, les vĂ©hicules autonomes et les assistants vocaux. Ils se penchent dâabord sur la nouvelle expĂ©rience du travail et constatent que, malgrĂ© ses connexions planĂ©taires, le travail reste gĂ©ographiquement collĂ© et intĂ©grĂ© dans des contextes distincts. Ils examinent ensuite comment les rĂ©seaux planĂ©taires de travail peuvent ĂȘtre cartographiĂ©s et problĂ©matisĂ©s, ils discutent de la multiplicitĂ© productive et de lâinterdisciplinaritĂ© de la rĂ©flexion sur le travail numĂ©rique et ses rĂ©seaux et, enfin, ils imaginent comment le travail planĂ©taire pourrait ĂȘtre rĂ©glementĂ©.

Il est lâĂ©diteur du livre Digital Economies at Global Margins (MIT Press et CRDI, 2019). Fabian Ferrari est un candidat au doctorat Ă lâOxford Internet Institute
