Abstract

The proliferation of data and artificial intelligence promises unprecedented precision in marketing, yet many organizations struggle to translate these resources into improved campaign performance and decision-making. This study investigates the practices and competencies that define the effective data-driven marketer in the age of AI. The objective is to develop a framework for integrating analytics and AI insights into the core processes of campaign strategy, execution, and optimization. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combined a survey of 250 marketing professionals with in-depth interviews with 30 analytics leaders and marketing practitioners. The results identify a three-tiered maturity model, highlighting the critical transition from descriptive reporting to predictive and prescriptive analytics, enabled by AI. The discussion focuses on the necessary skill evolution, organizational structures that bridge data and marketing teams, and the ethical governance of AI-driven decisions. It is concluded that becoming truly data-driven requires a fundamental shift in mindset, where analytics and AI are not support functions but the central nervous system of marketing, enabling agile, evidence-based management of the entire campaign lifecycle.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of mentoring-based academic supervision in improving teacher competence at SMPN 2 Tebing, Karimun Regency, Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. The research employed a mixed-methods case study design. In the first phase, a quantitative survey involving 29 teachers was conducted using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire covering lesson planning, classroom implementation, and learning evaluation. The results show a weighted mean score of 2.94, indicating that teacher competence is in the “Good” category, with the majority of responses at the competent level. However, disparities remain, as a small proportion of teachers demonstrate low performance. In the second phase, qualitative data obtained through written interviews, observations, and document analysis revealed that the effectiveness of supervision was influenced by a collaborative pre-observation dialogue, continuous mentoring, and constructive feedback. These factors reduced teacher anxiety, increased openness, and strengthened motivation for professional growth. The findings confirm that mentoring-based academic supervision contributes significantly to sustainable teacher competence development. Strengthening the instructional leadership role of school principals and institutionalizing mentoring-oriented supervision are therefore recommended to achieve higher levels of professional excellence

Abstract

This study examines the replication crisis in marketing by providing a field-specific diagnosis and proposing methodological improvements to enhance research rigor. The replication crisis, characterized by the inability to reproduce empirical findings, has raised concerns about the credibility and reliability of marketing research. This article identifies key contributing factors, including questionable research practices such as p-hacking and selective reporting, lack of transparency in data and methods, publication bias favoring statistically significant results, and institutional pressures driven by the “publish or perish” culture. Using a qualitative literature review approach, this study synthesizes insights from prior research to explore the structural and methodological roots of the problem. The findings reveal that the replication crisis in marketing is not caused by a single factor but by an interconnected system of methodological weaknesses and institutional incentives. These issues undermine both the theoretical development of marketing and its practical applications in business decision-making. To address these challenges, the study proposes several key recommendations, including the adoption of open science practices, increased support for replication studies, improvements in research design and statistical analysis, and enhanced education on research ethics and methodology. By implementing these strategies, the marketing discipline can strengthen its scientific foundation, improve the reproducibility of findings, and restore trust in academic research.

Abstract

This study examines the current state of measurement invariance in cross-cultural marketing research, identifying a critical imbalance between widespread method usage and methodological rigor. Findings indicate that while Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MG-CFA) remains the dominant approach, its application is often incomplete, frequently stopping at configural or metric invariance. This failure to reach scalar invariance limits the validity of cross-cultural comparisons, particularly when comparing latent means. Furthermore, inconsistent reporting practices and a lack of transparency regarding model specifications and fit indices undermine the reproducibility and credibility of findings. The review identifies significant methodological challenges, including sample heterogeneity, cultural bias in measurement instruments, and limited statistical power, which complicate testing and lead to inconsistent results. Although advanced methodological trends like partial invariance and alignment optimization offer more flexible and nuanced solutions, their adoption remains uneven. This highlights a persistent gap between methodological innovation and actual research practices. To address these issues, the study recommends improving methodological training, standardizing reporting practices, and embracing open science to ensure more robust and reliable cross-cultural research.

Abstract

This study examines the key challenges and emerging best practices in field experiments, with a particular focus on external validity, ethical concerns, and collaboration with firms. The findings reveal that external validity remains a major limitation, as many studies are context-dependent and confined to single firms or markets, reducing generalizability. Ethical issues, including lack of informed consent and heightened privacy risks in digital environments, emerge as the most critical concern, highlighting the need for stronger ethical frameworks and greater transparency. Collaboration with firms offers valuable opportunities but is often constrained by organizational resistance, data access limitations, and misaligned objectives. The analysis also identifies a gap between the severity of these challenges and the current level of best practice adoption. However, emerging approaches such as multi-site experimentation, transparent ethical protocols, and structured collaboration agreements show promise in addressing these issues. In addition, insights from measurement invariance research emphasize the importance of methodological rigor and improved reporting standards. Overall, the study proposes an integrated framework that balances methodological rigor, ethical responsibility, and practical feasibility. These findings provide actionable guidelines for researchers and practitioners to conduct more reliable, ethical, and impactful field experiments in marketing.

Abstract

Customer Experience (CX) has emerged as a critical construct in contemporary marketing and management due to increasing competition and rising customer expectations. Traditionally, firms focused on service quality and customer satisfaction; however, the growing complexity of customer interactions has shifted attention toward holistic and multidimensional experiences. Despite its importance, the CX construct remains fragmented, with diverse definitions, dimensions, and theoretical perspectives across disciplines. This lack of integration creates challenges for both researchers and practitioners in understanding and managing CX effectively. To address this gap, this study adopts a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review to examine the evolution of CX and synthesize existing knowledge into a unified conceptual framework. The findings reveal that CX has evolved through transactional, relational, experiential, and digital phases, reflecting broader changes in business environments. The study identifies four key dimensions—functional, emotional, social, and digital—that interact dynamically across the customer journey to influence outcomes such as satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy. The proposed integrative framework consolidates these dimensions into a cohesive model, addressing fragmentation in the literature and extending existing theories by incorporating digital and omnichannel perspectives. The study concludes that CX is a dynamic, multidimensional construct requiring a holistic management approach. It recommends future empirical validation and highlights the importance of leveraging emerging technologies to enhance customer experience in an increasingly experience-driven economy.

Abstract

This study examines the development of a talent pipeline for building and retaining future-ready marketing teams in an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven environment. As digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven marketing reshape the industry, organizations face growing challenges in addressing talent shortages and skill gaps. Traditional approaches to talent management are often insufficient to meet the evolving demands of modern marketing roles, particularly in areas such as analytics, digital platforms, and strategic thinking. To address these issues, this study adopts a qualitative review-based approach, synthesizing existing literature and industry insights to develop an integrative framework for marketing talent management. The findings identify key competencies required for future-ready marketing teams, including digital, analytical, creative, and strategic skills, and highlight the importance of managing talent across the stages of attraction, development, retention, and advancement. The proposed framework emphasizes the integration of recruitment, continuous learning, technology utilization, and organizational culture to create a sustainable and adaptable talent pipeline. The study concludes that a holistic and strategic approach is essential for organizations seeking to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving marketing landscape. While the study contributes to both theory and practice by offering a unified perspective, it is limited by its conceptual nature. Future research should focus on empirical validation and explore the role of emerging technologies in shaping marketing talent strategies.

Abstract

This article examines the growing role of agile marketing in managing strategy within a real-time, dynamic environment shaped by rapid digital transformation and evolving consumer behavior. Traditional marketing approaches, characterized by long planning cycles and limited flexibility, are increasingly insufficient in responding to fast-changing market conditions. Using a narrative literature review, this study synthesizes insights from academic and practitioner sources to explore key concepts, frameworks, and challenges associated with agile marketing. The findings highlight four core themes: agility as a strategic capability, continuous experimentation, customer-centricity, and data-driven decision-making. Based on these insights, the study proposes an Agile Marketing Playbook consisting of four components: strategic alignment, execution cycles, technology enablement, and team structure. This framework provides a structured approach for integrating agile principles into marketing strategy while maintaining alignment with broader organizational goals. The study contributes theoretically by extending agile concepts to the strategic level and offers practical guidance for organizations navigating real-time marketing complexities. However, its narrative approach limits comprehensiveness, suggesting the need for future empirical validation across contexts.

Abstract

This article explores how modern marketing managers can effectively transform data into actionable decisions in an increasingly complex and data-rich environment. The rapid expansion of digital technologies has led to an explosion of data from multiple sources, creating both opportunities and challenges for organizations. While data offers valuable insights into customer behavior, market trends, and performance, many organizations struggle to convert this information into meaningful strategic actions. Using a narrative literature review, this study synthesizes insights from academic and industry sources to identify key themes in data-driven marketing, including data as a strategic asset, analytical capabilities, integration of data and intuition, and real-time decision-making. Based on these findings, the article proposes a “From Data to Decisions” framework consisting of four stages: data collection, data analysis, insight generation, and decision implementation. The study also highlights the critical role of technology, including analytics platforms, artificial intelligence, and automation, as well as the importance of managerial capabilities such as data literacy and cross-functional collaboration. The article contributes by bridging theory and practice and offers practical guidance for marketing managers navigating data-driven decision-making. However, further empirical research is needed to validate the proposed framework.

Abstract

This article examines the dark side of data-driven personalization, focusing on how customization practices can erode perceived autonomy and trigger psychological reactance among consumers. While personalization enhances relevance, convenience, and engagement, it also raises concerns related to privacy, control, and perceived manipulation. Drawing on a narrative literature review, this study synthesizes insights from marketing and consumer psychology to explore the tension between personalization benefits and consumer discomfort. The findings highlight key themes, including the personalization–privacy paradox, perceived loss of control, and the role of trust and transparency. The study further explains the mechanism of reactance, where perceptions of manipulation lead to threats to freedom of choice, resulting in resistance, avoidance, and negative behavioral outcomes. In addition, several moderating factors are identified, such as the level of personalization, consumer data literacy, trust in brands, and cultural differences. A conceptual framework is proposed, linking personalization practices to perceived autonomy and privacy concerns, which in turn influence consumer responses. The article contributes by integrating psychological theory with marketing practice and offers managerial implications for designing ethical and user-centered personalization strategies. Future research should empirically validate the framework across contexts.
