Untangling the relationships between consumer characteristics,shopping values,and behavioral intention in online group buying

This study examines the link among consumer characteristics (price-sensitive behavior, variety-seeking behavior, and compulsive buying behavior), shopping values (utilitarian and hedonic shopping values), and behavioral intention in online group buying (OGB). This study tests usable responses collected by means of mall-intercept systematic sampling from consumers who previously participated in OGB. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data and test the hypothesized relationships. Findings suggest that price-sensitive and variety-seeking behaviors are significantly related to utilitarian shopping value, whereas price-sensitive, variety-seeking, and compulsive buying behaviors are significantly related to hedonic shopping value. Both utilitarian and hedonic shopping values significantly influence consumers’ OGB intentions. For a successful OGB strategy, Internet marketers and site operators should emphasize the utilitarian shopping value of price saving and selection and introduce the hedonic shopping values of promotions and sensory experiences. This study provides a link between two streams of prior research – that is, consumer characteristics and shopping values. Furthermore, it validates an empirical model whose results can help business practitioners make better-informed marketing management decisions for OGB and help academics and consumers better understand OGB behavior.

模因的动态生命周期

为了探讨模因的生命周期及其动态发展趋势,笔者采用归纳总结的方法,研究了影响模因生命周期其发展状态的重要因素。研究发现在传输阶段模因的复制忠实性、选择的媒介物会影响传输。在解码阶段潜在寄主的理解和兴趣、外界中的同化和异化模因、潜在寄主的解码能力会对解码产生影响。在感染阶段模因必须具备适合潜在寄主认知结构的能力,也涉及到威胁和诱饵,存储时间和模因的生存能力。生存能力包括外部异化模因、免疫力、普遍性等。在编码和传播阶段模因必须要有触发和动机和适当的反馈。最后从模因的四个阶段中总结出,模因的生命周期并不是简单重复,而是是螺旋上升,动态发展的。     

皮格马利翁模型:研究个体创造性的新视角——一个扩展模型的提出

皮格马利翁模型(Pygmalion model)是解释环境中他人期望对个体绩效表现影响机制的模型。皮格马利模型将上级行为视为与上级期望最为接近且最为基础的关系。将创造性角色认同这一个体自我意识变量加入到模型进行分析,以期为角色认同与自我效能间关系研究提供借鉴。     

A Turnpike Theorem in the Closed Dynamic Leontief Model with a Singular Matrix of Capital Coefficients

The paper refers to the well-known Tsukui turnpike theorem on convergence of optimal growth trajectories in the closed dynamic Leontief model to the maximum balanced growth trajectory, called turnpike. In the original proof of this theorem, the assumption that the matrix B of capital coefficients is non-singular plays an essential role. For many reasons this assumption, very convenient for theoretical analysis, is not always satisfied in input-output systems built for empirical purposes. This paper fills the gap between theory and empirical studies, presenting a proof that convergence of optimal trajectories towards the turnpike is also a characteristic feature of the closed Leontief model in the case when matrix B is singular. The general idea of the proof is based on the approximation of a singular matrix B by an infinite sequence of non-singular matrices.

Gender diversity in the hospitality industry: An empirical study in Turkey

This paper, an investigation of gender diversity in the Turkish hospitality industry, focuses on two primary objectives: (a) exploring the potential relationships between gender and several demographic factors, and (b) examining the possible existence of a gender effect regarding employees’ perceptions of recruitment and earning potential decisions. Results, based on 682 surveys, show that, in the male-dominated Turkish hospitality industry, there is a significant gender effect for two of four demographic variables and with respect to recruiting efforts and earning potential. These findings could have some important managerial implications for addressing gender diversity in the (Turkish) hospitality industry.     

Convention Site Selection Criteria Relevant to Secondary Convention Destinations

Abstract

This study utilizes a Likert scale attitudinal survey to assess the convention site selection preferences of association executives. The study looks at the importance of 31 site selection criteria and how the significance of these criteria is influenced by different association and convention characteristics. These analyses reveal a number of trends that are particularly relevant to smaller convention cities. The general finding suggests that while secondary convention destinations have advantages, they are not likely to be attractive to the more lucrative national and international gatherings unless they have an airport with direct flights from most major markets. Furthermore, those organizations whose geographic scopes are narrower might also be difficult to attract because they tend to have their conventions in the same, centrally located venue year after year.     

浅析肖邦夜曲的艺术特色

肖邦的大多数作品都笼罩在一层或浓或淡的忧郁之中,他以浪漫主义的艺术风格,描绘着大自然的夜色,也倾诉着作者心灵的话语,他的夜曲旋律恬静、优美、抒情。思想内容丰富而深刻,形式多样而色彩绚丽。在夜曲中,肖邦把他的整个心灵都打开了。在众多钢琴作品体裁中,夜曲可以说是他音乐创作中最精致的一组珍品。本文通过对肖邦夜曲作品的曲式结构、旋律、和声、节奏、音色等因素的详尽分析,透析了肖邦夜曲的艺术风格,从而使我们能更好的了解出肖邦夜曲的音乐内涵。
