Theoretical Justification Of Sampling Choices In International Marketing Research: Key Issues And Guidelines For Researchers, Nina Reynolds, Antonis Simintiras, Adamantios Diamantopoulos
Theoretical Justification Of Sampling Choices In International Marketing Research: Key Issues And Guidelines For Researchers, Nina Reynolds, Antonis Simintiras, Adamantios Diamantopoulos
Nina Reynolds
Sampling in the international environment needs to satisfy the same requirements as sampling in the domestic environment, but there are additional issues to consider, such as the need to balance within-country representativeness with cross-national comparability. However, most international marketing research studies fail to provide theoretical justification for their choice of sampling approach. This is because research design theory and sampling theory have not been well integrated in the context of international research. This paper seeks to fill the gap by developing a framework for determining a sampling approach in international studies. The framework is based on an assessment of the …

Coordination Costs And Research Joint Ventures, Rodney Falvey, Joanna Poyago-Theotoky, Khemarat Teerasuwannajak

We consider a simple oligopoly model where firms engage in cost-reducing R&D and compare two R&D regimes: R&D competition and R&D cooperation in the form of a research joint venture (RJV). We introduce coordination costs for the RJV and examine how these affect the equilibrium outcomes. We find that the performance of the RJV in comparison to R&D competition is sensitive to the level of coordination costs. Although the RJV may no longer conduct a unit of R&D at a lower cost compared to an independent firm in the non-cooperative R&D regime, RJV members can still make savings on their …

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assist those in the relatively new field of place management to undertake sound and appropriate research for which there is a current need. Approach: This paper identifies and provides an interpretation of key terms associated with research in the social and behavioural sciences and then recommends the case study methodology as being appropriate for research in place management. Findings: Based on a review of the literature this paper offers a viewpoint about the meaning and application of the terms ‘methodology’, ‘methods,’ ‘ways’, ‘strategies’ and ‘approaches’ when they are applied to research. Research …

The importance of supporting carers in their roles is now recognised in government policy at all levels and there is ample scope for improving the service system as well as the evidence base for promoting effective interventions. This paper summarises the findings of a project to review the literature on effective caring that was carried out as part of a larger body of work by one research centre working in the area of carer needs assessment. The aim of the project was to identify best practice models, as well as particular types of services that may benefit specific sub-groups of …

There are signs on the intellectual scene that we are moving out of an era in the social sciences termed modernism - a belief that separating fact form value, truth form falsity, is just a matter of applying the right version of method.

With increasing numbers of Chinese tourists dining overseas, understanding the cultural perspective of Chinese diners would appear essential to international restaurateurs. Thus, this study identifies a set of core Chinese values that is salient in the overseas dining context. Phenomenological in-depth interviews were used to collect data from a onvenience sample of 20 Chinese diners. Face, trustworthiness, and harmony were identified as the three core values. In addition, group membership was found to interact with face and trustworthiness in this context. These findings provide a deeper understanding of Chinese diners in overseas dining contexts and hold significance for both practitioners …

Understanding Family Enterprise: A Book Of Readings, Ken Moores, Justin Craig

This collection of papers, written over a span of about 16 years by researchers associated with the Australian Centre for Family Business (ACFB) at Bond University highlight diversity in family business scholarship. Diversity not only with respect to topics but also the range of audiences to which the various communication messages were delivered is indicative of an area of emerging scholarship. The purpose of the collection is primarily to chronicle the distinctive learning experiences of ACFB researchers rather than be a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of family enterprises.
