Abstract

Does the way customers discover hospitality venues (e.g., cafés, bars) affect how strongly they later bond with these venues? We show that customers who find a venue autonomously (i.e. entirely on their own) bond with it more strongly than customers finding it heteronomously (i.e. guided by some information or recommendation).
