**Affirmed position.** Virtual technology marketing and governance problems: how can firms benefit from dynamic boundaries? should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that LER converts marketing expenditure into shareholder value by redirecting budgets from conventional advertising, whose returns are indirect and uncertain, into voucher rewards that flow directly to shareholders. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- listed companies with discretionary marketing budgets
