The rapid change in technology and mobile phones has created new channels for marketing. Mobile marketing is an emerging marketing trend that has gained attention, and is becoming a popular direct marketing tool for marketers across the world. The Present research investigates factors affecting consumers’ attitude towards mobile marketing and explores the moderating role of permission based mobile marketing. The data was gathered by means of an adapted questionnaire from 123 respondents from the twin cities of Pakistan, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Correlation and regression analysis were used to find out the relationship between the dependent variable of attitude towards mobile marketing and independent variables of perceived informativeness, entertainment, irritation and source credibility, and a moderating affect of permission-based mobile marketing was analyzed. The study findings indicate that consumers generally have positive attitude towards mobile marketing. Entertainment was found to be the most significant factor affecting consumers’ attitude followed by source credibility whereas permission-based mobile marketing did not moderate the relationship between irritation and attitude towards mobile marketing. Some of the managerial implications are that mobile marketing messages should be designed keeping in mind consumers’ preferences for the information content, entertainment as well as the source credibility. Timely and relevant information should be provided to generate more favorable attitudes. Moreover, consumers’ privacy concerns should be valued by companies practicing mobile marketing so that consumers show their willingness to provide companies with their mobile numbers and demographical data so that companies can send advertising messages with consumers’ prior permission.

This article presents the partial conclusion of the research project devoted to marketing activity of Polish Catholic opinion-forming weeklies on the social media platforms. The main aim of this article is to present the results of the study on the use of Twitter as a marketing tool by Polish nationwide Catholic opinion-forming weeklies. The basic research questions concerned the extent of utilizing the platform by the magazines’ editors to create and distribute the content of their media product, maintain and develop brand communication and self-promotion. The case studies and the content analysis of the accounts of the three magazines—Gość Niedzielny, Tygodnik Katolicki Niedziela and Przewodnik Katolicki—show that there are three different ways in how the editors of the magazines understand the role of the Twitter account of the title they represent—as an ‘active communicator’, ‘active communicator and community supporter’ or ‘community supporter’. The conclusions show that the studied media fairly efficiently use the visual and distributional potential of the platform as well as some of its features, at the same time missing the chance to build a brand-loyal community. They also limit the role of Twitter to that of a supplement for the main communication channel, which is the printed weekly and its website.

© Academy of Management Learning & Education. Although supportive of calls for business schools to learn the lessons of history to address contemporary challenges about their legitimacy and impact, we argue that our ability to learn is limited by the histories we have created. Through contrasting the contested development of the case method of teaching at Harvard Business School and the conventional history of its rise, we argue that this history, which promotes a smooth linear evolution, works against reconceptualizing the role of the business school. To illustrate this, we develop a "counterhistory" of the case method-one that reveals a contested and circuitous path of development-and discuss how recognizing this would encourage us to think differently. This counterhistory provides ameans of stimulating debate and innovative thinking about how business schools can address their legitimacy challenges, and, in doing so, have a more positive impact on society.
