Reality TV experiment based on my research with Yann Cornil on the slippery slope from fan to fat.

And here is an interview of me discussing this study

What role the industry should play

INSEAD Knowledge videos

Below, I discuss how food marketing affects how people eat:

Below, I discuss how marketers can moderate food portions without losing business

Below I discuss with my INSEAD colleagues Jean-Claude Larréché, Reinhard Angelmar, and Christian Pinson, why four of our cases are among the 10 most-read cases of the past 40 years according to the Case Centre.

IFrame

Case Writing

I am one of the casecenter's best-selling authors. In 2016, I received the Outstanding Contribution to the Case Method Award from the CaseCentre and in 2018 I won the Outstanding Case Teacher Competition. My case, Unilever in Brazil, is the 8th highest-selling case distributed by the casecenter in the past 40 years, and is by far the most recent in the top 10. I have won the casecenter case award six times (four times overall winner, twice the marketing award).

Here are my views on case writing

• Winning the Outstanding Case Teacher Competition (2018).
• Winning the Outstanding Contribution to the Case Method (2016).
• Solving Your Business Dilemma by Solving Other People’s Dilemmas (INSEAD Knowledge 2014)
• Decrypting The Secrets of Business Triumph (INSEAD Knowledge 2014)
• INSEAD wins top global case study award (INSEAD Knowledge 2012)

And here are some articles in Connect, the magazine of the case center, for which I was interviewed

• Support for educators from case authors (2014)
• Renova Toilet Paper: Avant-garde Marketing in a Commoditized Category (2012)

In this interview with my INSEAD colleagues Jean-Claude Larréché, Reinhard Angelmar, and Christian Pinson, why four of our cases are among the 10 most-read cases of the past 40 years according to the Case Centre. See also the related INSEAD Knowledge article.

Cases

Almost all my cases have a dedicate case web site where anyone can download an inspection copy, view videos or television commercials. These sites also have a password-protected section restricted to instructors. To view these restricted sections, identify yourself as an educator here and access these cases from INSEAD's new case portal . Alternatively, you can access these cases from Harvard Business Publishing or the CaseCentre.

You can find other INSEAD cases with dedicated web site on INSEAD's new case portal cases.insead.edu.
