Identity and Nation in Coca-Cola's Thanda Narratives in India: A Semiotic Study

When Coca-Cola re-entered the Indian market in the era of government-initiated liberalization, privatization, and globalization in the 1990s, one of the major challenges it faced was to again penetrate the Indian soft drinks market and acquire a considerable market share over a period of time in view of the fact that it was a foreign brand which had pulled out of Indian market owing to unfavorable legislations in 1977. Given this scenario, Coca-Cola, despite being a global brand with a high recall value, faced tough competition from popular Indian brands like Thums Up, Limca, and Gold Spot, which enjoyed a larger market share during the early 1990s. To meet this challenge, Coca-Cola launched a series of television commercials in Hindi, the national language of the country, featuring its brand ambassador, Aamir Khan, a popular Indian actor. Considered to be one of the most creative and popular advertisement campaigns of its times, the commercials specifically aimed to create a favorable narrative for Coca-Cola in the minds of Indian consumers. All the different versions of the commercial had a common but powerful punch line, which played a major role in positioning the brand at par with the long-standing Indian brands in the market. This research article undertakes a semiotic analysis of the commercials, particularly with the aim of establishing the narrative(s) they offered and how that narrative was instrumental in giving Coca-Cola the makeover it needed to compete with the Indian brands.

Exploring ethical consumer behavior: a comprehensive study using the ethically minded consumer behavior-scale (EMCB) among adult consumers

Mindfulness, spiritual well-being, and sustainable consumer behavior

Although there has been considerable research interest in how mindfulness affects consumers’ pro-environmental behaviors, extant research has not fully clarified the underlying mechanisms through which mindfulness is related to sustainable consumption. This study examines mediating effects of spiritual well-being in regard to the relationship between mindfulness and sustainable consumer behavior. Four different types of sustainable consumer behavior are examined: general ethically minded consumer behavior, voluntary simplicity, direct environmental behavior, and support for green products. The study was conducted with 467 French consumers: 208 consumers who have undertaken formal mindfulness training (mindfulness-based stress reduction program) and 259 consumers who have never undertaken any mindfulness training. The findings show that mindfulness is related to sustainable consumer behavior through the personal, communal, and environmental domains of spiritual well-being. However, the links between mindfulness and spiritual (personal, communal, and environmental) well-being are primarily evident only among consumers who have undertaken formal mindfulness training. Thus, this research demonstrates how mindfulness affects sustainable consumer behavior and identifies conditions under which these effects are observed. Policy recommendations in the form of supporting and subsidising mindfulness training programs and other initiatives that enhance spiritual well-being, to facilitate greater sustainable consumer behavior are proposed.

What Were You Thinking? Analyzing Thought Processes in The Presence of Brand Love

This study attempts to obtain a glimpse into the minds of consumers concerning how information is processed differently in the presence of brand love. Guided by the theories of brand love, attachment theory, and source credibility, two studies are conducted in which consumers were given various messages by various sources about a brand they identify love for. These consumers are then asked to provide thought listings, therefore providing a better understanding of how consumers process new information, and how likely they are to seek additional information under various circumstances involving brands they love. Similarly, the effects of brand love on source credibility are also examined. Results indicate that although message valence plays a role in tendencies to seek additional information and source credibility, the presence of brand love may alter this relationship.

Factors Affecting Consumers Compliance Intention: Consumption Tax Evasion as an Ethical Dilemma

Consumption tax evasion (CTE) is an ethical dilemma that can enlarge the presence of the shadow economy. The empirical literature mainly focused on the ethical dimension of the business community, thus there is insufficient literature related to the ethical decision-making process on the consumer’s side. So, the present study attempts to explore the ethical decision-making process of consumers regarding CTE. The study used three major components of Jones’s Issue Contingent Model to study the consumer’s ethical decision-making regarding CTE. The study proposes a conceptual model by linking idealism, relativism, religiosity and attitude with the three components of the issue contingent model. The result of the study was based on primary data collected from consumers in the Kerala State. The data obtained was examined using the PLS-SEM technique which confirms the influence of idealism, relativism and attitude on the moral recognition of consumers regarding CTE. The result also concludes that moral recognition leads to moral judgement, which in turn, plays a vital role in inculcating moral compliance intention in the minds of consumers.

Image Style of Information Startups: Means of Implementation

The purpose of the publication is to establish typological features in the means corresponding to the needs of creating an image style of information startups, to determine the conditions for the correlation of these means with the practice of creating a corporate and corporate style and the main differences from them. Research methodology: methods of complex and comparative analysis are applied. The scientific novelty consists in establishing an increased number of image style components compared to brand or corporate constants, as well as in the ability of such components to be descriptors of the overall emotional values of the project and to work on their active translation into the information environment. It was established that the components of the image style should create an individualized and, at the same time, quite universal graphic code, which can be implemented only under the condition of combining variable communicative elements, and their visual impact should be embodied in the signs not so much of objects or phenomena, but in the characteristics of emotional states. The composition of means that most strongly influence the construction of an image style includes the stability of compositional connections between communicative elements and the constancy of scale-proportional combinations of coloristic masses. Conclusions. In the design of the image style, the use of communicative elements (even those already implemented by competitors) is not a disadvantage, but a structural basis for the formation of associative influence in each specific project, but it first of all requires a justified choice of components of the visual code and compositional means of their presentation, corresponding to the needs of each specific startup. The main condition for the introduction of differently coded visual components in the design of the image style should be their compliance with the thematic content of startups and its emotional and image projection, which should be recorded and imprinted in the minds of consumers.
