Identifying critical factors in higher education studies
This paper presents a combination of necessary condition analysis (NCA) and importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) as a suitable analytical approach for studies in higher education. NCA identifies necessary conditions for achieving specific outcomes, while IPMA identifies factors according to their importance and performance. The combined approach is illustrated using data from the 2023 Norwegian Studiebarometer survey, focusing on identifyin…
A Stitch in Time
This study explores the transformative potential of 3D knitting technology in enhancing the sustainability of textile‐based industries. Using a multiple‐case study design, the analysis was conducted through qualitative coding and cross‐case integration. The findings indicate that while 3D knitting significantly improves production efficiency, design flexibility, and environmental sustainability, its adoption is accompanied by challenges, includin…
Exploring the relative importance of epistemic value, value for money and perceived safety in visitors’ evaluation of a destination
This study explores the relative importance of epistemic value, value for money and perceived safety in visitors’ evaluation of a foreign destination. Based on a sample of 248 international tourists who visited Zanzibar between July 2021 and January 2022, the study shows that the three factors are significantly associated with overall satisfaction, subsequently affecting the visitor’s willingness to recommend the destination. However, perceived s…
Dynamic capabilities and sustainability performance
This study examines the effect of dynamic capabilities (DCs) on economic performance (ECOP), social performance (SOP), and environmental performance (ENVP) under different levels of environmental dynamism (EnvD). Based on preliminary interviews and survey data collected from Norwegian fishing firms, the analysis was conducted using partial least squares structural equation modeling and necessary conditions analysis. The results show that firms th…
Perceived threat of informal players
This paper explores the effect of the perceived threat of informal tourism actors on the operational performance of formal actors. Based on data collected from 130 inbound tour operators, the paper develops and tests a conceptual model representing the effect of the perceived threat of informal actors. The analysis has revealed a complementary partial mediation effect of the perceived threat of informal actors on operational performance. The perc…
Navigating the early stages of a large sustainability-oriented rural tourism development project
This paper draws on data collected through multiple approaches and presents an exploration of the early stages of a large sustainability-oriented rural tourism development project. Through a streamlined qualitative analysis, the study revealed four tactical moves deployed in the early stages of the project. The moves include instilling project legitimacy, forging a support network, anchoring the project, and mobilising resources and capabilities.…
An assessment of air passenger confidence a year into the Covid-19 crisis
The COVID-19 crisis has become the most intense and long-lasting in the history of aviation. There is already a significant literature on the immediate impact of the outbreak, as well as on speculation on the future evolution of the industry. This paper seeks to contribute to this discussion by assessing a year into the crisis the demand related aspects and passenger behavioural impacts of the pandemic. Specifically, the paper aims to identify di…
Acquiescence and conflict in exchanges between inbound tour operators and their overseas outbound partners
Effect of component failure on tour package evaluation
