MDI Gurgaon is delighted to share one of the latest publications by Prof. Dr. Avinash Kapoor, PhD, MBA, MA, BSc & Dr. Chinmaya Kulshrestha on the topic: "What's in a Name? Nominal Scaffolding and the Psychological Infrastructure of Shared Market Cognition"

📜 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 - Psychology & Marketing | ABDC – 𝗔 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆
✍ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀 - Prof. Avinash Kapoor & Prof. Chinmaya Kulshrestha
📢 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿 - Wiley-Blackwell Publishing 🗓️ Month –July 2026
🖇️ 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mar.70240

Abstract: We still say “X, formerly Twitter” because names do more than sound good- they help us know what we are talking about. Before we can judge a brand, we first need to identify it. That’s what Nominal Scaffolding Theory explains. Think of a name as a bridge. It connects today’s brand with what we already knew about it. When Twitter became X, that bridge broke for many people. So we keep adding “formerly Twitter” as a temporary support. Old names, new names, and even nicknames act as anchors that keep our shared understanding stable. When a company changes its name, it risks confusing people about which brand we actually mean. In short: a name doesn’t just tell us what to think, it tells us who we are thinking about.

Key Highlights:

1. Names are bridges, not just labels: A name does more than sound good. It connects what we see today with what we already know. When Twitter became X, that bridge broke.
2. Old names are temporary supports: We say “formerly Twitter” because we still need the old name to find the right brand in our memory. It keeps our shared understanding stable.
3. Renaming is risky: Before people can judge a brand, they need to identify it. Changing a famous name confuses people about which brand they are even thinking about.

So, how long will you keep calling it Twitter?

MDI Gurgaon is delighted to host speaker Dr Nishtha Sharma, Charles University, for an insightful session on “Meritocracy in street charity"

🗓️ Date: 18th September (Friday)
🕒 Time: 03:00 PM IST
📢 Mode: Offline, Chanakya Building, MDI Gurgaon

Session abstract: Beliefs that the poor are lazy predict lower redistribution and charity donations, but not direct giving. We test whether fairness concerns fade in direct giving or operate person by person in the context of giving to beggars. In Delhi, we had 1,219 beggars choose between free cash and paid work, and 1,204 residents predict these choices. Rather than intervening on beliefs, we compare beliefs and giving toward beggars who naturally differ in a chosen signal of willingness to work: 31 percent of beggars in our sample offer low-value items while begging. People expect significantly fewer beggars with items to choose free cash, and give them significantly more, in field interactions and in an incentivized allocation task. Yet the beliefs are far from the truth. People expect nearly half of beggars to choose free cash; barely one in seven does. And beggars with and without items choose nearly identically, so the signal people reward carries almost no information. Our findings suggest that fairness preferences and beliefs about merit influence direct giving but operate at the individual level, masking the relation in aggregate data, and rest on beliefs far from the truth.

The session will be moderated by Prof. Puneet Arora (Asst. Professor, Economics & Public Policy, MDI Gurgaon).
