Given the plethora of terroir products, local food companies could find an advantage in specifying their positioning by taking into account what the terroir represents for consumers. This research contributes to identifying specific attributes of a terroir in tune with consumer expectations, and tests their capacity to ameliorate consumer hedonic assessments and judgments for these products. Results show the potential of a positioning based on the environment, which is respected by the practices of terroir producers, and which also guarantees the quality of the product. q GIS Alpes-Jura provided financial support for the conduct of this research.
Academics and practitioners increasingly focus on the concept of proximity, but the growing literature features a confusing diversity of approaches. This article offers a macro-analytical and conceptually unified vision of proximity. Based on an in-depth analysis of literature, this integrative synthesis offers a fourfold contribution: characterize and classify approaches to proximity, understand the place occupied by proximity in theoretical models in marketing, consider the managerial interest of proximity, and develop propositions for continued research into proximity topics.
Ce travail constitue une première approche des aménités et de leur valorisation potentielle via les produits alimentaires. Plus exactement, il s'agit de savoir si la valeur accordée à un produit issu d'une région bénéficiant d'un environnement naturel typé est plus importante que celle accordée à un produit issu d'une région dont l'environnement est moins attractif. Pour répondre à cette question, nous recourrons à une analyse en laboratoire qui compare deux fromages issus de deux territoires des Alpes françaises. Les résultats montrent notamment que les aménités d'un territoire, même si elles participent de la valeur affective d'un produit, ne peuvent être valorisées économiquement que s'il y a congruence entre le territoire et le produit.
Depuis quelques années le monde académique comme les praticiens montrent un intérêt grandissant pour le concept de proximité. Face à une littérature croissante mais confuse en raison de la diversité des approches mobilisées, cet article propose une synthèse intégrative et macro-analytique autour du concept de proximité. L’article poursuit quatre objectifs : caractériser et définir la proximité, comprendre la place occupée par ce concept dans les modèles théoriques en marketing, envisager l’intérêt managérial de la proximité, et, enfin, proposer des voies de recherche afin d’approfondir la compréhension du concept de proximité dans le champ du marketing.
The issue of segmentation of the culinary tourism market is central for local economic actors because many products and activities address several marketing targets, including tourists and residents. This research shows that the assessment of the attributes of a terroir cheese is not altered by the consumer's tourist status. In contrast, taking into account the underlying motivations behind culinary tourism, an individual variable (the variety-seeking tendency) and a variable related to the product (its perceived authenticity) appear as relevant segmentation criteria for such a culinary tourism product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
