Endogenous Decision Timing of the Weight Placed on Competitor’s Profit Under Relative Performance Evaluation
Get PDFThis study examines relative performance evaluation by application of a
delegation game in which a firm owner delegates management to a
manager. In earlier relative performance evaluation studies, the timing of
the owner’s weight placed on the competitor’s profit is given exogenously.
By contrast, in this study, we endogenously assume the decision for
relative performance evaluation. We show that two firms facing a duopoly
make the earliest relative performance evaluation decisions under quantity
competition. Although this result is not surprising, this study not only
suggests the applicability of endogenous timing games in accounting
research; the results might also provide a theory to explain why firms
announce their earnings earlier.departmental bulletin pape
Social Workers in Senior High Schools: Realities and Challenges in Osaka
No full textA growing number of children and adolescents encounter a variety of problems in their
formative years such as family abuses, neglects, school bullying, and economic poverty.
Their refusing to go to school is considered another social issue. To help address such
challenges, school social workers provide social services at elementary and junior high
schools. Yet, some students proceed to senior high school with their problems still
unresolved. Because of this, the demands for school social workers and their services in
senior high schools, as well, are on a rise. In order to grasp the needs for and actual
utilizations of school social workers, we collected data from Osaka prefectural senior high
schools and special-needs schools. The data show that 28.5% of these schools already use
the services provided by school social workers and that 61.8% wish to utilize their services
if possible. The findings suggest the need for increased budgeting for and securing of school
social workers as resources at the high school level. The public-school administration should
be aware of the urgent needs of social workers at senior high schools. The administration
should more widely promote and employ school social workers and their services in senior
high school settingsdepartmental bulletin pape
Brand Awareness of Travel Souvenirs: The Case of Chinese Tourists in Japan
Get PDFUp until 2019, Japan has seen an increase in the number of foreign tourists; the number
stood at 32 million in 2019. In fiscal 2019, the number of inbound tourists increased by 2.2%
on a year-on-year basis. Travel consumption was valued at JPY4.81 trillion, which is
primarily attributable to tourists from China.
This study proposes a new viewpoint on the travel souvenir-related purchasing behavior
of Chinese tourists in Japan. The purchase of a travel souvenir is typically a one-time
purchase during a visit to a location. To increase the sales of travel souvenirs, it is important
to promote repeat purchases. To ensure such purchases, it is necessary to create brand
awareness and increase brand accessibility, so that the tourist can easily recall the brand
name and place a repeat order even from their home location.
This study focuses on Chinese tourists’ brand awareness. Attitude to the brand is
constructed of three components: cognition, affect, and behavior. The attitude is affected by
consumer involvement. This study developed a validation model and clarified how consumer
involvement and Japan-visit experience affected the attitude to “Shiroikoibito,” the most
popular travel souvenir. The used variables were brand commitment, product involvement,
and purchasing involvement toward confectionery, and brand loyalty toward Japanese
confectionery, age, Japan-visit experience, and the attitude toward Japanese confectionery
brands.
The results revealed the following.
（1） “Shiroikoibito” was the most popular travel souvenir and the top of mind’s brand in
Japanese confectionery.
（2） Brand commitment had a positive impact on the three components of the attitude
toward “Shiroikoibito.”
（3） Brand loyalty toward Japanese confectionery had a positive impact on cognition and
affect for “Shiroikoibito.”
（4） Japan-visit experience had a negative impact on cognition and behavior for
“Shiroikoibito.”
（5） Age had a negative impact on the three components of the attitude toward
“Shiroikoibito.”departmental bulletin pape
Locke’s Concept of ＜Private Man＞ ーIn Relation to Appropriation by Labourー
Get PDFAfter the Discovery of Hobbese’s concept of ＜Private Man＞, Locke suceeded and developed it in Two Treatises of Government .In his theory, ＜Private Man＞ is located in the state
of Nature which is distinguished from Hobbes’s meaning. According to him the state of Nature
can be maintained without Government even in the stage of Civilization. This is a result of the
category of ‘approproation by labour’.
In his social contract theory,the necessity of Government comes from the guard of private
property. The chief end of Civil Society is the preservation of Property.
He also refered to the capitalist society in which the servant as a free man was a member
of Civil Society. Because the Slave can not be considered as a menmber of it. The servant is
the prototype of wage labourer. This suggests that Locke see the Civil Society can be a part
of Capitalist Society on the difference between Slave Society and Modern Society. This also
shows that Modern Society can be governed on a single principle of ＜Private Man＞.departmental bulletin pape
