November 14 – Fleura Bardhi

Recent Seminars

Date: 14 November 2025, Friday Time: 13.30 – 14.30 "Anti-Consumerist Hedonism” by Fleura Bardhi Bayes Business School Abstract Despite the rich literature on hedonic consumption, the hedonistic aspects of resisting consumerism remain less explored and theorized. Building on a long-term ethnographic study of an anti-consumerist initiative in Athens, Greece, we advance the notion of anti-consumerist hedonism, which involves the joys and pleasures gained in resistive consumption practices. We identify three distinct dimensions: joys in the alternative, in the collective, and in ongoing engagement. We also explore the conditions that help cultivate and sustain anti-consumerist hedonism, including anti-market sociomateriality, horizontalist structures and spatiotemporal permanence. Importantly, we show how their effectiveness is always tentative, subject to ongoing aesthetic, collective organizing and stewardship work. Overall, our study contributes to the theoretical understanding of…

Date: 12 November 2025, Wednesday Time: 10.30 – 11.30 Place: MA-330 " Don’t judge a leader by their reluctance" by Bahar Moralıgil Loughborough University Abstract Organizations lack the leadership they need. Despite investing billions in high-potential (HiPo) programs, most organizations fail to identify and develop effective leaders. A major barrier to the success of these programs is the misrecognition of true potential, where individuals with potential are overlooked during HiPo selection. Drawing on evidence from three studies, this research examines whether reluctance to lead (RTL), which is conceptualized as the hesitation of a high-potential individual to exercise leadership, contributes to the misrecognition by masking the true potential. Across three studies, I developed and validated the first dedicated RTL measure, tested whether HR professionals’ HiPo selection decisions are biased against reluctant…

Date: 5 November 2025, Wednesday Time: 10.30 – 11.30 Place: MA-330 "Disengaged Consumers: Privacy Notices Lead to Suspicion" by Zeynep Gürhan Canlı Koç University Abstract In the digital landscape, consumers are frequently asked to make decisions regarding the privacy of their data. In this research, we aim to provide insights regarding consumers’ experiences in making these privacy decisions. With a multi-method approach including text analysis, a six-year span of field and quasi-field experiments, and online experiments, we demonstrate that privacy notices activate consumers’ persuasion knowledge and trigger suspicion, ultimately leading to disengagement with the brand. Designing the choice architecture or privacy notice content in a way that reduces suspicion can decrease disengagement. The effect mitigates for consumers who are not knowledgeable about the persuasion tactics of marketers. Our findings deepen…
