The best men are (not always) already taken - Female preference for single versus attached males depends on conception risk
No full textBecause men of higher genetic quality tend to
be poorer partners and parents than men of lower genetic
quality, women may profit from securing a stable investment
from the latter, while obtaining good genes via
extrapair mating with the former. Only if conception
occurs, however, do the evolutionary benefits of such a
strategy overcome its costs. Accordingly, we predicted that
(a) partnered women should prefer attached men, because
such men are more likely than single men to have pair-bonding
qualities, and hence to be good replacement partners,
and (b) this inclination should reverse when fertility
rises, because attached men are less available for impromptu
sex than single men. In this study, 208 women
rated the attractiveness of men described as single or attached.
As predicted, partnered women favored attached
men at the low-fertility phases of the menstrual cycle, but
preferred single men (if masculine, i.e., advertising good
genetic quality) when conception risk was high

Marketing management capabilities of SMEs: an empirical analysis in the EU
No full textSMEs, that represent the greater part of European food firms producing traditional food products (TFPs), meet difficulties in adapting their strategies to market changes, and in competing with big enterprises. Marketing management capabilities play a key role in good SMEs performance in the market. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the marketing capabilities of SMEs that produce TFPs. The theoretical framework considers the Market Orientation approach and marketing management capabilities in terms of marketing research, marketing strategy, planning and implementation, control and evaluation. A self evaluation tool was developed by means of an interactive questionnaire, available on the web, aimed at assessing traditional food firms competitive position in the marketing area. The sample consists of 112 Italian firms. Descriptive analysis shows that the most problematic dimensions of the marketing management are planning and implementation and control and evaluation. Moreover, the firms’ size is not a relevant feature to determine the marketing capabilities, whereas quality voluntary certifications have a direct linkage with marketing capabilities, as the more a firm is certified the more t improves its marketing performance. Linear Regression model confirms these results.Marketing capabilities, SMEs, traditional food, linear regression, Agribusiness, Marketing,
