Professor Lefa Teng and his Team Published Paper on Management World

Teng Lefa, Wu Yuanyuan, and Li Feng of the School of Business published a long paper titled Is the more immersed the better?: The Dual Impact of Consumer Immersion in Brand Experience on Issue 6 of Management World in 2020. It explores the relationship between consumer immersion in brand experience and brand experience marketing. It found that the degree of immersion positively affects consumers’ enjoyment in brand activities, thereby increasing their attitudes towards brand activities and the brand itself. However, the degree of immersion has a negative impact on consumers’ brand recognition and therefore prevents improvement of consumers’ brand attitudes. The article also sheds light on the differences in brand experience immersion behavior of consumers with different thinking (abstract vs. concrete).
