No full textSpread of retailer food quality standards: An international perspective
No full textPrivately initiated food quality standards are currently important elements in the marketing of food and agricultural products. At the same time, they stand in the centre of a discussion about potential negative effects on small farmers and farmers in developing countries. This study aims at analysing the adoption of two private food standards, BRC Technical Food Standard and GlobalGAP, at an aggregated cross-country level. The results of the econometric analysis reveal some (potential) barriers for developing countries to access this type of organisational innovation. Certificates seem to be issued more probably in larger and wealthier countries, countries with a better institutional quality, better infrastructural conditions and in former UK colonies.standards, food quality, adoption, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,

Analyzing pork purchases at the point of sale – The role of consumer involvement
No full textInvolvement is an important psychological construct for understanding consumers’ underlying purchase decision process and those factors that shape product perceptions. In order to better understand consumer purchase behavior for low and high priced pork cuts, a series of field interviews at a variety of food retailers were conducted with actual pork shoppers using the New Involvement Profile (NIP) developed by Jain and Srinivasan (1990). In addition to responses to a series of questions designed to assess consumers’ involvement when purchasing pork, informational elements including socio-demographic information and pork attributes (e.g., origin, advertisement, on sale) were also included in the analysis. Key results from the study show individuals with high risk factors were significantly less likely to purchase high price cuts of pork. However this factor was mitigated by high price cuts on sale. Advertising is found to engage consumers with specific factors including those individuals who place a symbolic value on pork. Similar results are found for certain individuals based upon the type of store in which shopping took place. Results from our study may help companies to develop specific strategies to target high and low involved consumer segments. For instance, focusing on particular labeling schemes to increase consumers’ trust in meat producers could be used to target high involved shoppers. Additionally, based upon the empirical evidence this would have an added benefit by supporting the purchase of higher priced cuts of pork.pork, purchase behavior, consumer involvement, point of sale, Agribusiness, Consumer/Household Economics, Marketing, C93, D12, Q13,
Blankness: The Architectural Void of North Sea Energy Logistics
No full textEnergy logistics have contributed to the gradual transformation of the North Sea into an industrial void. Referring to the concept of blankness articulated by Roberto Mangabiera Unger and Jeffrey Kipnis, Nancy Couling and Carola Hein call for imaginative architectural interventions that respond to the potential of logistic spaces lodged within the volume of the sea.History, Form & Aesthetic
The global petroleumscape of the Rotterdam/The Hague area: As a model for further research
No full textFlows of petroleum have shaped the built environment of industrial, retail, administrative, and ancillary spaces, of infrastructures and buildings, as well as their representation. Carola Hein analyses the spatial impact of petroleum on the sea-land continuum through the lens of the port city region of Rotterdam/The Hague.History, Form & Aesthetic
WHAT DETERMINES THE USE OF BRANDS AND SEALS OF APPROVAL AS EXTRINSIC QUALITY CUES IN CONSUMERS’ PORK PURCHASE DECISION?
No full textIn today’s saturated food markets with increasingly homogeneous products food quality provides an opportunity for product differentiation. We want to answer the question what determines the use of extrinsic quality cues (brands, seals of approval) in consumers’ pork purchase decision. Therefore, we accomplished a consumer survey (n=767) at different German retailers. The results show that consumers’ pork purchase at small supermarkets, use of household leaflets to make purchase decisions and modest income level determines the use of seals of approval. Consumers who buy pork at small supermarkets and discounters, and who use household leaflets use brands.Extrinsic quality cues, brand, seal of approval, pork, purchase decision-making, Germany., Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,
Cromatismo, ritmo, memoria: sulla narrativa di Sergio Atzeni
No full textSergio Atzeni’s works are many and really heterogeneous, both in style and contents. But if we dig up deeply into his texts, we discover that the currents followed by the author are always the same, and that texts that are apparently different have actually significant common aspects.Le opere di Sergio Atzeni sono numerose e molto eterogenee, sia nello stile che nei contenuti. Ma se andiamo a scavare nel profondo, ci rendiamo conto che i filoni seguiti dall’autore sono sempre gli stessi, e che esiti testuali apparentemente distinti hanno in realtà importanti aspetti in comune
Space, Time, and Oil: The Global Petroleumscape
No full textIn addition to explaining the context in which this book emerged, Carola Hein introduces the concept of the petroleumscape, a layered physical and social landscape that reinforces itself over time through human action. The petroleumscape includes different types of interconnected spaces—industrial, administrative, retail, and infrastructural—that are usually considered separately. Hein makes clear why this volume’s case studies pay careful attention to what has been highlighted, downplayed, and hidden as corporate, state, and other relevant actors have attempted to shape perceptions of petroleum and the landscape of which it is a part. Hein also outlines five key stages in the petroleumscape’s development, beginning with the innovations in obtaining petroleum that took place in Pennsylvania in 1859, when petroleum served primarily as a source of lighting fluid, and ending with recent attempts to overcome petroleum dependence.History, Form & Aesthetic
