Christian Schäfer’s research primarily focuses on exploring behavioral impacts stemming from inferences made by consumers. For instance, he investigates the dynamics of how disruptions to a company's intangible assets influence consumer responses. Within this line of research, he works alongside Matthias Eggenschwiler (University of St. Gallen), Maximilian Matthe (Kelley School of Business), and Marc Linzmajer (University of Rostock), to analyze the aftermath of a recent M&A event: the acquisition of a premium consumer goods brand by a large multinational corporation. In his talk, Chris will show that this acquisition triggers an “inauthenticity discount”, resulting in a substantial revenue decline post acquisition. Findings suggest that this demand-side reaction stems from a previous marketing decision: the brand’s high engagement with influencers, who reverse their support and exacerbate the negative consumer response. Currently, Chris is a research associate at the University of St.Gallen and a doctoral candidate (Department of Marketing) at Goethe University Frankfurt.
