Throughout time, there have been influencers who possess the power to affect decisions of others, and this power has become particularly evident in the current multibilliondollar marketplace of influencer marketing. Practitioners and scholars are focusing on the power of social media to affect change, and the popular press has begun to refer to entrepreneurs as influencers and influencers as entrepreneurs. As such, the current research examines the power of influence in terms of influential entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial influencers. Influential entrepreneurs have the power to encourage others to believe in themselves and to ignite passion for personal success, while also garnering support for their own ventures. Entrepreneurial influencers generally begin as marketing influencers who develop a following on a digital platform and then begin to build their own entrepreneurial endeavors by promoting to their followers. We contribute to the entrepreneurial marketing literature by bringing together similar, yet disparate, research to understand people identified as both influencers and entrepreneurs and suggest that influential entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial influencers are not two sides of the same coin. While both possess characteristics of attractiveness and the ability to connect people and communities, findings suggest that influential entrepreneurs are perceived as more credible than entrepreneurial influencers. While entrepreneurial influencers are enabled by external products or brands for which they are promoting, influential entrepreneurs are enabled by the strength of their own personal brands that created a product offering.

E. Limitations - acknowledge the limitations of the work (again, something we do in our discipline-based research) Both the big picture and practical aspects of SoTL point to a meticulous research process when engaging in the scholarship of teaching and learning. I was once again reminded that SoTL is a hard sell, with advocates having a difficult time convincing colleagues that SoTL is a worthwhile use of time and resources ([6]). The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is always at the forefront of my thinking. Critically, SoTL is both a big picture view and a practice area (and I will note here that I am avoiding the debate on whether there is one definition of SoTL). [Extracted from the article]

The role of the relationship between employees and companies and the effects of that relationship on a consumer's buying intention have received scant attention in the marketing literature. This research sought to understand how consumer perceptions of employee (in)justice affect the consumer's likelihood to purchase. Engaging a cross-disciplinary perspective, an experiment examined the impact of electronic word-of-mouth on consumer procedural justice perceptions and likelihood to purchase. Negative eWOM had a significant impact on consumer perceptions of the procedural justice of the firm and likelihood to purchase, suggesting that consumers do have an interest in the fair treatment of employees.
