“…The amount of discretionary time available for an activity may well depend on the activities a spouse is involved in or on the discretionary activity patterns of children. Other potential factors might include temporal experiences of family (Woermann & Rokka, 2015), the value of time (Festjens & Janiszewski, 2015), and time budgets for travel (Meloni et al, 2007). The complements and substitutes are calculated within the time frame of a year.…”

This research evaluates the stability of time usage relationships among discretionary activities. Traditional economists view products or services as substitutes if both can satisfy the same need of the consumer; they are complements if they are consumed jointly in order to satisfy some particular need. Complementary activities are grouped together in activity sets defined on an a priori basis. Several research questions are developed to investigate the following issues: (a) the stability over time of overall relationships between activities, in terms of visual representation using multidimensional scaling maps, and (b) the validity and stability of a priori classification of activities in activity sets. The results from multidimensional scaling maps are validated using structural equation modeling. The results suggest that time usage relationships are temporally stable. The broad needs of respondents, as represented by interrelationships between activities in sets, were found to be stable. We present reasons for believing that the conclusions of stability are comprehensive and can be used in the real‐world.

“…The 'Practice Turn' in the social sciences and organisation studies Over the past two decades there has been a growing interest in management practices. Practice Theory has emerged as a framework to study such practices, sweeping across various strands of the social sciences (Duguid, 2005;Reckwitz, 2002;Schatzki et al, 2001), strategy (Feldman and Orlikowski, 2011;Johnson et al, 2007;Whittington, 2006), marketing management (Kjellberg and Helgesson, 2006;Mason et al, 2015;Skålén and Hackley, 2011) and consumer research (Holt, 1995;Schau et al, 2009;Woermann and Rokka, 2015).…”

European Journal of Marketing1 Abstract Purpose While Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) is a well-known concept in academia, there is insufficient theorisation on what it means 'to do' IMC in practice. Despite broad acceptance for IMC, there has been scant application of available organisational and sociological theories to illuminate actual IMC practices in the field. Drawing from the 'Practice Turn' in management studies, this paper elaborates on the concept of 'IMC practice' and provides an empirical exposition of how integration is enacted in the lifeworlds of marketing practitioners. Design/Methodology/ApproachThe paper introduces Practice Theory as a lens through which to study IMC practices. Using qualitative coding and interpretative analysis, the framework was operationalised in the context of a two-year organisational ethnography encompassing IMC planning and implementation activities at a leading Swedish retailer. Findings Findings demonstrate how practitioners develop explicit and implicit strategies to enact strategic integration.The study conceptualises IMC as set of interrelated practices, or routinised behaviours, which are repeated and organised by social/formal rules and conventions. In the ethnographic context of the study, 'IMC as practice' is exhibited in the forms of (1) routines, (2) material set-ups, (3) rules and procedures, (4) cultural templates, and (5) teleoaffective structures. Originality/valueThe paper proposes a novel set of theoretical and methodological tools that can be used to understand how IMC lives as a set of practices inside organisations. It specifically conceptualises the link between mental and objectified, materialised and routinised activities that has previously been escaping the sphere of theorisation. By creating language and tools to capture hitherto unmodellable phenomena, the paper opens many new avenues for future research.

“…1, p. 62). However, while it is a necessary feature, time solely as agentic "flow" and an experiential "quality for the practitioner" (Woermann & Rokka, 2015) is also wholly insufficient to give a complete account of temporality. Although being necessary, flow in itself only allows for a very limited and simplistic range of temporal phenomena that are, in part, even accessible to primitive animals such as insects (Healy, McNally, Ruxton, Cooper, & Jackson, 2013).…”

“…395À396). Thus, it is therefore not at all clear how timeflow as a "quality for the practitioner" (Woermann & Rokka, 2015) avoids subjectivist and thus agentic implications, which are incompatible with the epistemological requirements in the "context of context" debate, if it does not address the tension between "outer" universal and "inner" subjective time.…”

“…Ricoeur's solution clearly shows the limitations to consumer time given for instance by Woermann & Rokka, who note that: "A holistic phenomenological perspective toward time … raises the danger of arriving at a dichotomy of 'outer' universal and 'inner' subjective time. This dichotomy forces authors to treat time in one of two limited ways" (Woermann & Rokka, 2015). More importantly, Ricoeur shows that the dichotomy of time is not a problem solved by ad hoc rejection of one or the other kind of temporality, but rather vitally necessary.…”
