Biography
More than 44 million people in the U.S. face hunger, according to relief organization Feeding America. University of Mary Washington Assistant Professor of Business Kashef Majid addresses that haunting statistic through his expertise in environmental marketing with a particular emphasis on the issue of food waste.
Majid examines the impact of date labels, retailer donations to food banks and campaigns designed to encourage pro-environmental behavior. He also explores how artificial intelligence can be used to reduce food waste.
Majid's prior research focused on consumer valuation of hybrid and electric vehicles, whether their owners drive them to save money or appear "green" to their peers, and why some hybrid cars retain more value than others.
Dr. Majid previously has worked as a consultant in Ottawa and with the Canadian government.

How to Lower Your Car Insurance Premiums
WalletHub online
2023-05-10
Associate Professor of Marketing Kashef Majid was quoted in an advice segment for a WalletHub piece about best car insurance companies. "For the most dramatic drop in car insurance, drivers should consistently shop around each year to see if they can get a better deal," he said. "Quotes are easy to receive online and insurers try to lure new customers with low rates early and then gradually raise them over time."

Giving green a second thought: Modeling the value retention of green products in the secondary market
Journal of Business Research2015-05-01
Demand for green products continues to grow. This research examines green products’ retention of value and whether new green brands differ from green brand extensions in their ability to retain value amidst technological innovations. Modeling of data from the used car market between 2004 and 2011 shows that hybrid (i.e., green) vehicles lose value faster than their non-hybrid counterparts. However, pure green brands (such as the Prius), whose ability to express greenness is more salient, lose value at a slower rate than green brand extensions. Compared with brand extensions, pure green brands are also less vulnerable to the threat of obsolescence from technological innovations (introduction of fully electric vehicles). Implications for the management and marketing of green product offerings to extract maximum value for firms and consumers are discussed and suggestions for future research are proposed.
