Database organization
| Variable | Explanation | Posts inductively classified according to DART elements |
|---|---|---|
| Likes | Total of likes that the respective post received | N/A |
| Comments | Total of user comments the respective post received | N/A |
| Retweets | Number of times that users forwarded the post, by retweeting it | N/A |
| Dialogue | Dialogue means exchange of information and fosters constructive interaction (of knowledge and experiences) and the development of a shared beliefs (Gummesson and Mele, 2003) | Our Dialogue classification includes, but not only: general information, any TBT post, partnerships realized on the internet between NPO and other companies, tribute messages, a reading suggestion, etc. |
| Access | Customers want access to experiences. There is not just the “owning asset”. Ex: drinking an export type coffee in a supermarket | Our Access includes, but are not limited to: A call to interact with the NPO, a call to donate to the NPO through its partners, sales of a product, support to a cause/event directly related to the NPO, etc. |
| Transparency | Information is more readily available and accessible. Customers are increasingly able to access knowledge that previously was not available | It converges the organizational reliability and information given to the consumer. Without these elements, there is no possibility and factuality of co-creating value between organization and consumer (Prahalad & Ramaswamy, 2004). These elements (DART) arise from engagement (McColl-Kennedy et al., 2012). Examples of transparency mainly include annual reports and donation reports or videos of other organizations or partnerships donating to the NPO, etc. |
