Abstract

Taking a transmitter’s perspective, this study identifies reasons to refuse word of mouth (WOM) transmission, creates a category system and analyzes the influence of either positive or negative WOM. We show that the transmission of negative WOM is refused more often, a result which is mainly driven by social constraints.
