Examining Sustainable Food Practices In Luxury Gastronomic Restaurants: A Comparison Between Michelin-Starred Restaurants And Luxury Fine Dining Restaurants, Hiran Roy, Thomas Gomes, Vikas Arya
TTRA Canada 2023 Conference
Abstract
Sustainable practices are increasingly promoted in the restaurant sectors. While sustainability in luxury gastronomy restaurants (hereby Michelin-starred and luxury fine dining restaurants) has rarely been explored especially from Vancouver context. Michelin-starred and fine dining restaurants are significant influencers of sustainable food promotion. Therefore, this study explores chefs’ motivations to adopt and promote sustainable food experiences through extrinsic (planet and people) and intrinsic (plate, pleasure, and place) factors. A qualitative approach (semi-structured interview) will be employed to collect data from a sample of Michelin-starred and fine dining restaurants. It is anticipated that this study will be strengthening the existing literature …

Why It Matters: The Tourist/Traveller Dichotomy In The Context Of Pandemic-Era Overtourism, Kelley A. Mcclinchey
Why It Matters: The Tourist/Traveller Dichotomy In The Context Of Pandemic-Era Overtourism, Kelley A. Mcclinchey
TTRA Canada 2023 Conference
This research investigates the traveller/tourist dichotomy through a discourse analysis of online blogs and travel writing in the context of pandemic-era overtourism. Results indicate that travellers/tourists are perceived in ways that validate one over the other, yet both are intricately weaved within the neocolonial structures of tourism, grounded in imperialism and the power dynamics visitors have on a place.
The Importance Of Fairness Perceptions: The Effect Of Icfr Audit Reporting Options And Focus Of Auditor Behavior On Management Defensiveness, Aubrey R. Whitfield
The Importance Of Fairness Perceptions: The Effect Of Icfr Audit Reporting Options And Focus Of Auditor Behavior On Management Defensiveness, Aubrey R. Whitfield
Doctoral Dissertations
Unlike financial statement audits, auditor reporting requirements for audits of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) prohibit auditors from issuing a qualified opinion (i.e., only unqualified or adverse opinions are permitted). Using an experiment with experienced financial reporting managers, this study explores how managers’ perceptions of the unfairness of the ICFR reporting requirements influence their judgments when audit issues arise. Based on fairness heuristic theory, I predict that managers are more defensive when the auditor is not permitted to issue a qualified opinion on the audit of ICFR (compared to the auditor being able to issue a qualified opinion) due …

Investigation Of Privacy Within Health Marketing, Digital Activism, And International Contexts, Alec N. Slepchuk
Doctoral Dissertations
Privacy, which has a long history of academic inquiry across multiple disciplines, is critically important to modern marketing. Advances in digital information technologies have allowed marketers to provide personalized services to consumers at the cost of their privacy. However, as new technologies increase privacy tensions across all facets of life, so does the need for situational scholarship on privacy. This dissertation uses a variety of datasets, theories, and analytical methods to examine three important privacy contexts: healthcare (industry), activists (actors), and countries (nations). Essay 1 draws on justice theory to examine the role of fairness in consumers’ decision to use …
Two Essays On Using Data Manipulation To Justify Biased Reports, Cody Lu
Two Essays On Using Data Manipulation To Justify Biased Reports, Cody Lu
Doctoral Dissertations
An important aspect of data-generated metrics is the degree to which they can be manipulated by users. Agents providing reports often (a) have incentive conflicts with principals and (b) have access to and an ability to manipulate data used in those reports. This study investigates how data manipulation affects advisors’ tendency to provide biased recommendations when incentives between advisors and advisees are misaligned and aligned. Drawing on theories in deception and persuasion, I posit that, when incentives are misaligned, advisors will provide a more biased recommendation when the evidence used to support their recommendation is more manipulable. I also predict …

Financial Impact Of Nutrition Labeling For Restaurants, Mark S. Johnson
Financial Impact Of Nutrition Labeling For Restaurants, Mark S. Johnson
Journal of Hospitality Financial Management
Over the period 2006 to 2018 many attempts to institute food labeling in restaurants (FLR) have occurred. We examine the impact of federal FLR regulations on equity in the restaurant industry. We find no support for the idea that passage of federal FLR legislation directly altered firm value. However, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rulemaking has had a positive effect on restaurants. The Federal rules are preemptory to state and local rules providing the industry with consistent, straightforward, rules across all jurisdictions. The preemptory aspect may reduce overall industry costs of regulation. We suggest that rule-making by the regulatory agency …

The Impacts Of Covid-19 On Capital Structure Determinants Of Hotel Real Estate Investment Trusts, Marcos Medeiros, Nan Hua, Youcheng Wang
Journal of Hospitality Financial Management
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are responsible for more than seventy-five percent of the hotel ownership structure in the USA. The effects of COVID-19 restrictions on hotel REITs were devastating due to the unpredictability of revenues and cash flows, directly impacting managerial decisions on how to adapt REITs' capital structure quickly. This paper used quarterly hotel REIT financial data of the 18 most representative U.S. H-REITs from January 2015 through December 2020 to understand the moderating effects of COVID-19 on hotel REITs' capital structure determinants. Analyzing a panel data of 472 observations, this study found robust empirical evidence that confirms …
Debris Of Progress: A Political Ethnography Of Critical Infrastructure, Ethan Tupelo
Debris Of Progress: A Political Ethnography Of Critical Infrastructure, Ethan Tupelo
Doctoral Dissertations
In this dissertation, I advance a political ethnography of critical infrastructure to better understand terminal capitalism, in which the waste products of commodification and resource depletion are destroying the ecological systems that support life. My object of study is the massive disjuncture between individual knowledge and intention, and these catastrophic collective planetary outcomes. Theoretically, I develop critical infrastructure theory to diagnose these destructive structures. By “infrastructure,” I mean systems of material and discursive flows fundamental to sedentary human organization, connecting local actions with global systems. Such infrastructure is “critical” in three senses: A) denoting the most important forms of infrastructure …
The Role Of Data (Deletion) Permission Frames, Data Sensitivity, Audiences, And Defaults On Consumers’ Willingness To Share Personal Information, Smriti Kumar
Doctoral Dissertations
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumers’ Protect Act (CCPA) provide a set of provisions to regulate marketers’ processing of consumers’ personal data. One of these provisions is to offer consumers the ‘right to erasure' or ‘right to be forgotten.’ These regulations recommend that firms enable consumers to delete some or all of their personal information from the firm’s databases permanently if desired (Palmer 2019). Firms are struggling to figure out how to give consumers options to delete their data. Moreover, managers are not sure to what extent will consumers delete their data, if given an option to delete. …
Three Essays On The Destination Performance Measures And Objective Quality Of Life Indicators, Adiyukh Berbekova
Three Essays On The Destination Performance Measures And Objective Quality Of Life Indicators, Adiyukh Berbekova
Doctoral Dissertations
Over the last two decades, the topic of quality of life (QoL) in tourism has gained momentum and generated a plethora of studies focusing on the effects of tourism on the QoL and wellbeing of visitors, local communities, and industry workers. Despite the rich literature concentrating on the probable antecedents of subjective QoL among important tourist stakeholders, there are a few studies that investigate the relationship between performance and objective QoL measures. In these three essays, the link between traditional performance measures, widely used to assess the performance of tourism destinations, and objective QoL indicators is explored. The first essay …
Three Essays On Climate Finance And Machine Learning In Financial Studies, Huan Kuang
Three Essays On Climate Finance And Machine Learning In Financial Studies, Huan Kuang
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation focuses on climate finance and explore how to incorporate machine learning techniques into financial research. In the first chapter, we focus on climate innovation. Through a novel design to link climate risk and the U.S. firm patents related to climate change mitigation technologies (CCMTs), we find that CCMT innovations generate significant economic value. These innovations are effective in mitigating firms’ carbon risk. We also find that adoption of a new patent classification scheme has promoted more CCMT innovations in the United States. However, we find mixed evidence on firms’ carbon risk and their CCMT innovation activities. Our work …
