Plastics Pollution in the Gulf Countries
Plastics pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues humanity faces; its ever‐increasing production is overwhelming nations’ capacities to address the long‐term consequences, including the impact on ecosystems. Different policy approaches have been developed to minimize plastics consumption and pollution, especially with regard to packaging and the use of the materials in consumer goods. Kuwait and the Gulf countries generate consi…
Understanding Color Interaction Effects in Accommodation Listing Images
Listing images are part of a property’s “shop window” to the world, impacting performance. Recent neuroscience and psychology research suggests that when combined in an interaction, color and scene in an image may not have a significant effect except for achromatic colors, which require fewer processing resources. As a first test of the achromatic feature integration theory of attention in tourism research, we use generalized linear mixed modelin…
Robots and humans working together

Stuck in the past or living in the present? Temporal focus and the spread of Covid-19
Research has shown that the temporal focus of individuals can have a real effect on behavior. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study posits that temporal focus will affect adherence behavior regarding health control measures, such as social distancing, hand washing and mask wearing, which will be manifested through the degree of spread of COVID-19. It is suggested that social media can provide an indicator of the general temporal foc…

Building tribal communities in the collaborative economy
In recent years, there has been a groundswell of initiatives aimed at providing platforms to share resources among people. Collaborative consumption provides a model for a ‘sharing economy’ where the dominant logic of consumers is resource access rather than ownership. This study examines the nature and development of a variety of collaborative consumption businesses; in particular, we explore how start-up entrepreneurs see the problems of creati…

Creativity and Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder (BD) has been related to heightened creativity, yet core questions remain unaddressed about this association. We used qualitative methods to investigate how highly creative individuals with BD understand the role of symptoms and treatment in their creativity, and possible mechanisms underpinning this link. Twenty-two individuals self-identified as highly creative and living with BD took part in focus groups and completed quantita…

Who needs cyberspace? Examining drivers of needs in Second Life
Purpose Human needs and motivation are a central tenet of marketing discourse. In this exploratory study we attempt to understand the factors that drive individuals' higher‐order human needs in a relatively new electronic marketing context, that of virtual worlds. Design/methodology/approach The study employs the higher‐order needs from Abraham Maslow's hierarchy (i.e. belonging, esteem and self‐actualization) and a series of drivers related to t…
Virtual Worlds Come Of Age
Virtual worlds have been purported to provide a fertile bed for marketing and brand-building for real-life companies. In Second Life, for example, there was a flurry of media hype and activity by companies in the period from 2007-2008. Several years on, however, the reality is that most of the big name brands have pulled out of Second Life. One of the reasons for this is the poor level of value generated for customers by the virtual brand experie…
Predicting online channel use for an online and print magazine
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and empirically test a conceptual model to predict the determinants of online channel use in a multi‐channel environment. Design/methodology/approach A case study of a free, multi‐channel entertainment magazine is used to statistically analyse a proposed model of customers' channel use ( n =224) using an online survey of real consumers. Findings The findings in the paper confirm a number of determin…
