Scott A1 - Coviello, Nicole A1 - Safranek, Barbara Y1 - 1993/// N2 - Escalation bias implies that managers favor reinvestments in projects that are doing poorly over those doing well. We tested this implication in a marketing context by conducting experiments on advertising and product-design decisions. Each situation was varied to reflect either a long-term or a short-term decision. Besides these four conditions, we conducted three replications. We found little evidence of escalation bias by 365 subjects in the seven experimental comparisons. TI - Escalation Bias: Does It Extend to Marketing? SP - 247 AV - public EP - 253 ER -
