Michael Edwardson was on the
program committee for the inaugural CONFERENCE
ON EMOTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONAL LIFE held at San Diego State
University in 1998. His research into Consumer Emotions was featured
in the best-selling U.S. business book Emotional
Value: Creating Strong Bonds With Your Customers.
From Amazon Reviews: "One
of the most intriguing findings they develop is based upon the
work of the Australian scholar, Michael Edwardson (who, incidentally,
wrote the forward to this book). Edwardson documents in great
detail the fact that customers in different industries have widely
differing sets of emotional expectations. A "one size fits
all" approach to customer satisfaction, therefore, can never
work. But, with the research documenting so clearly the emotional
nuances of customers in a wide variety of different situations,
the possibility exists for more appropriately informed responsiveness
from front line staff. "
Psychologica
were consultants to, and Michael Edwardson co-author of, the
SOCAP
Consumer Emotions Study of 4000 customers of blue-chip companies in Australia.
We have one of
the largest privately held library collections on emotion research
with over one hundred and fifty books and hundreds of articles.
We keep up to date through membership of the Emotions in Organisations Network
(EMONET) and the International
Consortium for Research into Emotional Intelligence.
