    No full text
    This research conducted a systematic review of articles on luxury consumption in tourism, specifically, its conceptualization, pre-consumption influential factors, and post-consumption responses. This paper provided an overview of relevant studies, developed a comprehensive framework, and suggested future research avenues. The present review identified that luxury consumption in tourism can be conceptualized into four different areas, which were synthesized into a cohesive framework about its creation, development, and outcome. Then, the present review identified opportunities for future research to build upon, which are breaking the stereotype, improving the “new luxury” research avenue, and developing a more comprehensive framework of luxury tourism.</p

    No full text
    Purpose - The purpose of this research is to create and test a model of a patron&#39;s innovativeness formation toward a chain restaurant brand.Design/methodology/approach - A review of the current literature revealed six key determinants in the formation of patrons&#39; innovativeness in the chain restaurant context. Based on theoretical relationships between these constructs, a structural model was proposed. The model was tested utilizing data collected from 433 chain restaurant patrons.Findings - Data analysis indicates that satisfaction and brand attitude positively influence innovativeness, with the impact mediated by advertising effectiveness and perceived risk in a new menu trial. Advertising effectiveness significantly reduced patrons&#39; perceived risk in a new menu trial and thus positively influences innovativeness. Lastly, it was revealed that sales promotions have a strong impact on innovativeness.Research limitations/implications - The findings emphasize the significance of study variables in the formation of patrons&#39; innovativeness in the chain restaurant context. These findings help restaurant practitioners in successful new menu/food product launch.Originality/value - This study is the first to explain the formation of patrons&#39; innovativeness in the chain restaurant industry. Given that a proper understanding of innovativeness is critical to achieving chain restaurants&#39; business success, the model verified in this study may serve as a guideline for practitioners/researchers in this field

    The international concept of food security is a situation where all people have physical, social, and economic access at all times to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. All four parameters (availability, access, utilization, and stability) should therefore be measured to determine food security status.Taking into account these premises, this book aims to present original research articles and reviews concerning the following: Agriculture and food security; Agri-tourism and its potential to assist with food security; Business–science cooperation to advance food security; Competing demands and tradeoffs for land and water resources; Consumer behavior, nutritional security and food assistance programs; Food and health; Global and local analyses of food security and its drivers; Global governance and food security; Infectious and non-infectious diseases and food security; Reducing food loss and waste; Reducing risks to food production and distribution from climate change; Supply chains and food security; Technological breakthroughs to help feed the globe; Tourism food security relationship; Urbanization, food value chains, and the sustainable, secure sourcing of food; Food and service quality at food catering establishments; Consumer behavior at foodservice operations (restaurants, cafés, hotels)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

The present study attempted to explain golfers` loyalty formation for a screen-golf cafe. In particular, this research proceeded to investigate the role of the image of screen-golf cafe, its overall performances, and golfer satisfaction in determining loyalty, and to assess the mediating impact of trust in the screen-golf cafe and commitment in the proposed conceptual framework. A field survey was conducted to collect the data at screen golf cafes located in the metropolitan city, South Korea. The gathered data (185 cases) was analyzed using a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings from the SEM revealed that the proposed theoretical framework involves a satisfactory fit of the model. In addition, our findings generally supported the hypothesized associations among study variables. In particular, according to our results, image of the screen-golf cafe and overall product performances significantly affected golfer satisfaction; golfer satisfaction acted as a significant antecedent of trust in the screen-golf cafe and commitment; trust and commitment were positive functions of satisfaction; and both trust and commitment significantly mediated the association between satisfaction and loyalty to the screen-golf cafes. Overall, the findings of this study help practitioners in the screen-golf industry develop efficient marketing as well as service strategies for loyalty enhancement.This study was supported by the 2013 Specialization Project Research Grant funded by the Pusan National Universit
