This article aims to investigate the consistency of the consumer motivational process in accordance with the acquisition and disposition of tangible goods through collaborative consumption. Three studies, involving a total of 7,715 consumers, show that, when considered separately, acquisition and disposition are governed by relatively similar hierarchies of motivations that can be grouped together into an overarching four-dimensional structure: (1) utilitarian, (2) experiential, (3) protester and (4) spiritual. Hence, consumers driven primarily by one or other of the four motivational categories when acquiring goods will be similarly motivated when disposing of goods. Other drivers may nonetheless represent significant secondary motivations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Developing a place brand involves highlighting the distinctive attributes of a place that could be used to enhance its attractiveness. This study is in line with recent literature where the concept of place identity is being replaced by sense of place, which provides an holistic view of a place by integrating all users’ experiences and feelings. Through a qualitative study involving 31 individual interviews with users and meetings with managers of a French coastal area, this paper proposes a five-dimensional definition of sense of place and its use as a tool for developing a place brand in 3 ways: defining the place brand concept, bringing together the internal stakeholders and invoving users in brand building.

This research proposes a framework for value analysis derived from a practice. We link this concept with the consumer value in marketing. The approach adopted for the value derived from a practice is bivalent, including the various reasons for valuing and devaluing the activity. We then propose a model based on the assumption that the value derived from a practice changes with the intensity of the practice. The empirical study focuses on the practice of eco-friendly gestures that aim to save electricity. The results show that the more intensified the practice, the stronger the value creation while the loss of value is reduced. In addition, a multi-group analysis allows the diversification of the value to be observed when the intensity of the practice increases. The results reveal the importance of eudemonic value, which offers a new avenue for understanding the mechanisms of appropriation of practices with societal stakes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
