FOREIGN ENTRY,CULTURAL BARRIERS,AND LEARNING

This paper examines the longevity of foreign entries. Hypotheses are developed on the mode (start-ups vs. acquisitions) and ownership structure (wholly owned vs. joint ventures) in relation to cultural distance. The hypotheses are tested within a framework of organizational learning, using data on 225 entries that 13 Dutch firms carried out from 1966 onwards. Results show that the presence of cultural barriers punctuates an organization's learning. Cultural distance is a prominent factor in foreign entry whenever this involves another firm, requiring the firm to engage in ‘double layered acculturation.’ We also identify locational ‘paths of learning.’ The longevity of acquisitions is positively influenced by prior entries of the firm in the same country. Similarly, the longevity of foreign entries, in which the firm has a majority stake, improves whenever the expanding firm engaged in prior entries in the same country and in other countries in the same cultural block.     

基于朴素贝叶斯模型的电子证照用证智能推荐

数字政务是数字政府建设中的重要组成部分,研究电子证照智能服务有助于数字政务改革。结合朴素贝叶斯模型与某省政务数据构建用证预测模型,并对模型的有效性进行检验。结果表明：法人类型高频办件前10种组合占全部组合的49.46%,远高于个人类型政务服务事件;全省范围内个人用证、法人用证推荐准确率分别可达到53.22%、68.51%,按地市构建模型能够有效提升准确率,部分区域准确率最高可达96.24%;缩小判定政务服务事件先后关系时间窗口,推荐准确率明显降低。研究结果表明了研究方法的有效性,有关方法和结论对提升政府效能具有支撑参考作用。     

历史文化街区业态特征及其影响因素研究——以长沙太平街为例

历史文化街区业态的特征是市场规律的体现。本研究以长沙太平街历史文化街区实地调研数据为主,网络平台相关数据为辅,对商铺业态分类,从多个视角透视街区业态特征,运用无序多分类逻辑回归,探讨业态类型的影响因素。研究发现：（1）历史文化街区商铺业态类型可优化为餐饮、购物、住宿、游览娱乐和其他5个大类15个中类;（2）业态水平空间分布表现出商铺面积规模的插花分布现象和业态两两组合的多样化特点,业态垂直空间分布由低层向高层表现出商铺数量、业态种类递减,商铺面积规模递增,业态多样性弱化、集中性强化的态势;（3）业态空间集聚表现出街巷入口、尽头的垂直分布集聚和商铺面积规模的“集聚-分异”现象;（4）商铺面积规模、街巷类型和集体记忆表征水平变量显著影响业态类型,饮品、小吃、服装、特产、住宿类型业态布局与街巷类型变量存在显著相关关系,特产、饰品、住宿类型业态布局与商铺面积规模变量存在显著相关关系,服装、娱乐类型业态布局与集体记忆表征水平变量存在显著相关关系。     

Does the nature of airport terminal service activities matter? Processing and non-processing service quality,passenger affective image and satisfaction

The surge in air transport demand and the increasingly competitive and volatile market dynamics due to airline deregulation are rapidly transforming airports’ character into multi-service firms and destinations. As a result, service performance measurement of significant systems and their consequent impact on airport users are crucial in creating better airport service design, operation and management for sustainable competitive advantage. The present study 1) assesses the applicability of the Airport Indicators of Passenger Experience (AIPEX) model on Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG), and 2) tests a theoretical model that explores the direct and indirect relationships among airport service quality, passenger affective image and satisfaction, as well as the moderating mechanism of passenger type (travel purpose) in these associations. The results indicate that, the AIPEX model fits the PVG context for airport service performance assessment. Also, the theoretical model suggests robust direct associations among processing/non-processing domains and passenger satisfaction, as well as the processing domain and passenger affective image, except non-processing domain and passenger affective image relation. Moreover, significant mediating and moderating effects of passenger affective image and travel purpose on the significant positive direct associations are found. Further, implications for theory and practice are discussed.     

Social media-based analysis of cultural ecosystem services and heritage tourism in a coastal region of Mexico

Understanding spatial patterns of visitation and benefits accrued to different types of natural and cultural heritage tourists may have important implications for the sustainable management of their destinations. We investigate cultural services accrued to local, domestic and international visitors to the Usumacinta floodplain, a coastal region with one of the highest biological and cultural diversities in Mexico. We combine analysis of social media photographs and high-resolution land cover mapping to identify different cultural services and their association with specific ecosystem and land cover types. Hotspots for international tourists are spatially restricted to well-known and accessible sites. Locals are 2.2–2.5 times more likely than international visitors to be associated with aesthetic appreciation and birdwatching. Locals upload more photographs of coastal lagoons, mangroves, beach and sea. Results are analyzed in light of land cover changes in the region and provide valuable information to decision makers for improved tourism management and conservation strategies.

Exploring the influence of tourists’ happiness on revisit intention in the context of Traditional Chinese Medicine cultural tourism

Based on how tourists interpret the destination experience and on attachment theory, this study investigates the influencing mechanism of tourists' happiness on revisit intention for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cultural tourism destinations. Three tourist samples confirm the three dimensions of tourists' happiness: positive emotions, engagement, and meaning. Two surveys were conducted to test the direct and indirect influence of tourists' happiness on revisit intention and the moderating role of tourists' health consciousness. The results show that tourists' happiness promotes memorable tourism experience and place attachment, in turn stimulating revisit intention. The results also support health consciousness as a significant moderator between happiness, place attachment, and revisit intention. The findings enrich theoretical understanding of tourists’ happiness and provide marketing and management advice for TCM cultural tourism destinations.     

Interpretive structural modeling of quality factors in both medical and hospitality services in the medical tourism industry

This study aims to theoretically integrate quality factors of both medical and hospitality services in medical tourism. Medical tourism comprises both medicine and tourism. Although the core product in medical tourism is medical treatment, attractive hospitality and travel options are also essential. Despite the dual nature of medical tourism, the two aspects of this concept have not been integrated in a unique framework. This study attempts to fill this gap using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). According to ISM, although factors of medical services and hospitality services are independent from each other, these factors have vital impacts on perceived value, satisfaction, and loyalty.
