Marketing and Interactive Devices: Does a Rose By Another Name Smell the Same?

چکیده
Technological developments are blurring the distinctions between TV and PC-based interactive capabilities but widespread consumer acceptance continues to be a critical challenge. After reviewing the concept of interactivity, the paper reports an emprical study that looks at consumer responses to interactive devices. Offering identical benefits but calling it a TV-based or a PC-based interactive device leads to significant differences in the evaluation of the concept. Both the respondent’s sex and prior ownership of a computer influences the consumer responses. Findings from the study are interpolated with technological developments to discuss implications for marketing.
