Consumers
A consumer is the final or end user of a marketed product. Because individuals, households, businesses, and other micro‐level entities are not fully self‐sufficient, they must regularly be consumers of products from other businesses to satisfy their needs and wants. Consumers are often the unit under study in business and social science studies, such as marketing, microeconomics, and psychology and are studied by behavioral researchers for severa…
Cheers ! A Means‐End Chain Analysis of College Students’ Bar‐Choice Motivations
Drinking alcohol is a major activity among college students. Most of the research on this subject has focused on students’ motivations for excessive drinking and the associated public health concerns. Little research has investigated the leisure context in which students drink alcohol, specifically, why students choose to drink in particular bars. The present study uses a means‐end chain methodology to explore students’ motivation for selecting b…
Contextual Factors in the Appearance of Consumer Robots
The authors use the "uncanny valley theory" as a diagnostic lens to better understand consumers' perceptions of humanlike consumer robots in different contexts. The results demonstrate that individuals were indifferent about the extent of the humanness of robotic images in the context of touching the robots. However, respondents showed more concern for robotic images' similarity to humans in the contexts of communicating with robots, watching rob…
Differences between American, Egyptian and Lebanese Humor Styles
The purpose of this study is to search for differences in humor use between Arabs and Americans and to provide managerial insights regarding such differences. We use Hofstede’s cultural dimensions as a theoretical basis for hypothesizing differences in humor styles between Arabs and Americans. The results indicate that Americans scored significantly higher than Arabs on self-enhancing and self-defeating humor style. There was no significant diffe…

Emphasizes the importance of supporting new businesses in under‐developed nations, describing the Zambian Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (Zacci) attempts to provide a consulting service for small businesses at no cost. Reports the implementation of the Zacci Management Assistance Programme, which involves unskilled heads of businesses visiting skilled heads for tutoring sessions. Does not provide any outcomes
Conglomerates in the world economy
Although corporate structures in Japan and, to a lesser extent Korea, have been examined in the literature, in most cases the framework is not comparative. In other cases the framework is comparative, with keiretsu and chaebol compared to US conglomerates. A third foreign conglomerate, the Mexican grupo, has thus far escaped much serious attention by scholars. Attempts to compare the structure of keiretsu, chaebol , and grupo in terms of the othe…
Privatizing Canneries in Hungary
Restructuring activities in Eastern Europe have been widely discussed. Examines firm‐level impediments to the conversion of state‐owned enterprises to market‐oriented firms operated for a profit. Based on the experience gained in several consultancies in Hungarian plants, the greatest problems faced by these firms may be at the operational level — accounting, personnel decisions, manufacturing processes. Suggestions for improvements in each of th…
