The Wine Attributes with the Greatest Influence in the Process of Consumer Choice in Spain
No full textThe commercialisation of wine in Spain is problematic due to two concrete circumstances: the decrease in wine consumption because of a consumer shift toward substitute drinks and the greater presence of national and foreign wine in the interior market, which involves an increase in business competitiveness. The increase in competitiveness of quality Spanish wine depends on producing enterprises’ knowledge of wine consumer preferences so they can offer consumers what they demand. In order to respond to this matter and better adapt supply, 421 wine consumers were surveyed using the Best-Worst Scaling methodology. Various segmentations were also made by consumer income and age groups. The results indicate that the two main attributes which condition consumers in choosing wine are the region of origin and having tasted it previously. The region of origin attribute is valued in general by consumers over 34 years old who have a monthly family income above 1,500 €. The attribute of having tasted it before, which on many occasions is associated with the price attribute, is valued particularly by younger consumers and those with lower incomes.Consumer behaviour, Wine attributes, Food Marketing, Consumer/Household Economics,

No full textExcerpt
Diane Accaria-Zavala and Rodolfo Popelnik are both professors at the University of Puerto Rico. Accaria-Zavala is a professor of film and American literature while Popelnik is an associate professor of the history of media and communication. Both have published and lectured internationally, and have collaborated to produce Prospero\u27s Isles, an anthology of essays that explore the construction of Caribbeaness in North American cultural productions. according to the editors, Prospero\u27s Isles aims to answer a range of questions:
How much of what is native to the Caribbean—ranging from the national or cultural traits to economic, political or aesthetic formulas—has left its mark on our powerful neighbor to the north? What affinities or affiliations link the two regions? What has the Caribbean region, or its native-born, contributed to the construction, transformation or even perpetuation, of essential elements within the American imaginary? What bearings have these on the literature, art, history or culture of American citizens
How corporate governance and globalization can run afoul of the law and good practices in business: The Enron's disgraceful affair.
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to set out the Enron’s demise into the perspective of Corporate and Global Governance. To accomplish this target, the incremental cash flow model is expanded to give room for governance issues, while a functional introduction to information sets is developed, including bounded rationality, asymmetric information, opportunistic behavior, transaction costs and agency problems. Then, corporate governance is linked to globalization by means of some recent approaches that go beyond a narrow economic mindset to encompass a far-reaching dynamics. Taking advantage of such background, the Enron’s story is tracked down over a span of fifteen years since its starting day to its bankruptcy filing. Leading events are explained from corporate and global governance viewpoints, while an in-depth analysis is worked out on Enron’s complex game of deception and breach of contracts: the outrageous affiliated limited partnerships, the lavish pay package to its executives, the involvement with global governance through the Indian affair and the Taliban connection. It is for the incremental cash flow model to explain malfeasance with cash flows from assets, and how cash flows to creditors were actually contrived. Furthermore, to highlight how cash flows were swindled from stockholders and, finally, how Enron made wheeling and dealing with cash flows on behalf of its managers.corporate governance, global governance, incremental cash flow model, globalization, information sets, good practices.

El funcionalismo de rodolfo lenz
No full textSummary
This paper deals with the contributions to Hispanic Linguistics by the German-Chilean linguist Rodolfo Lenz (1863–1935), some of whose proposals – often attributed to other scholars – may be seen as an alternative to the ideas of the prestigious Andrés Bello (1781–1865). The paper first reviews those aspects of his work which anticipate some of the basic tenets of Functional Grammar, such as the notion of ‘transposition’ (function shifting), his views on sentential structure, and his treatment of passives as attributive constructions. The paper also explores Lenz’s contributions to Indo-European linguistics and his theoretical affinities with, if not anticipations of, the work of other well-known linguists like Búhler, Tesnière, Hjelmslev, and Benveniste. In sum, the author seeks to vindicate Rodolfo Lenz and his insightful views in both general linguistic theory and Spanish grammar.</jats:p
Congenital elevation of the scapula (A review of 69 cases)
No full textThe author have reviewed sixty nine cases of congenital elevation of scapula on whom scapuloplexy was performed. The degree of elevation was classified according to Rigault's criteria (1976). This operation gave excellent or good results in 68 per cent of cases, the improvement being slightly better from the aesthetic than from the functional point of view. The factors adversely influencing the results were: the degree of elevation, scoliosis, "pagoda" deformity, and insufficient surgical lowering. Osteotomy of the clavicle is necessary in the presence of neurological complications. In cases with scoliosis or "pagoda" deformity of the scapula it is desirable also to resect the supero-medial angle. The operation should be carried out before the patient reaches the age of ten years
