Targeting Ageism And Ableism: A Simulation On Loss And Decline, Jennifer Zorotovich, Nikki Digregorio

The D.I.F. Conference (Archived)

Young individuals commonly experience difficulties in understanding functional loss and sensory decline frequently accompanying normative aging processes (Bodner, 2009; Kusumastuti, vanFenema, Polman-van Stratum, Achterberg, Lindenberg, & Westendorp, 2017). Utilizing the framework of Wood (2003), this workshop will provide attendees with an opportunity to gain first-hand experience regarding common functional loss and sensory decline occurring across the lifespan as well as engage in caregiving tasks. This aging simulation will also be used to investigate ageism and ableism as it relates to the lived experiences of those living with loss and decline and in-depth account of contemporary models of aging as they …

High-Low Pricing (Hl) Vs. Every Day Low Pricing (Edlp) Strategy: The Consequence Of Jc Penney’S Move From Hl To Edlp, Abhay Shah

Journal of Applied Marketing Theory

Retailers follow one of two pricing strategies – high-low (HL) and every-day low pricing (EDLP). The HL strategy is where the retailer will start with a higher price and give deep discounts in order to attract customers. On the other hand, retailers that follow the EDLP strategy keep prices very low and rarely giving price discounts. Not too long ago, JC Penney changed its strategy from HL to EDLP that had a very negative impact on its performance. The study hypothesizes that retailers who change their strategy (from HL to EDLP or EDLP to HL) will not be successful if …

The research enables scholars and practitioners to better understand the personal sales process and develop more efficient sales approaches. The study utilized an observational design methodology.

The Impact Of Team Outcomes, Brand Connection, And Game Attendance On The Corporate Image Of A Stadium Naming-Rights Sponsor, Terry Eddy, Brendan Dwyer, Mark Slavich

Journal of Applied Marketing Theory

The impact of sport sponsorship on perceptions of the sponsor has become a well-established line of research, but the examination of the special case of stadium naming-rights sponsors has only just begun to gain momentum. The purpose of the current study was to examine the impact of primary tenet success/failure, game attendance, and team connection on the corporate image, reputation, and credibility of the naming-rights sponsor. MetLife Stadium in the New York City metropolitan area was chosen as the unique context for this examination. The results indicated that game attendance had a significant effect on respondents’ image of MetLife. Full …

Community-Level Market Responsiveness To Tourism, Les Hollingsworth

Journal of Applied Marketing Theory

The present case study examines a community’s market responsiveness to tourism. The current axiom in business is that individual organizations must be responsive to customer needs; whether the same holds true for communities as a unified tourist offering is less clear. A mixed methods approach is used to determine whether an award-winning tourism community exhibits the three criteria for market orientation (Slater & Narver, 1999). The findings suggest that market responsiveness as described in the literature may not be a requirement for success when examining communities rather than individual firms.

Social Networks As Predictors Of Colorectal Cancer Screening In African Americans, Ernest Alema-Mensah, Selina A. Smith, Mechelle Claridy, Victor Ede, Benjamin Ansa, Daniel S. Blumenthal

Journal of the Georgia Public Health Association

Background: Early detection can reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality by 15%–33%, and screening is widely recommended for average-risk adults beginning at age 50 years. Colorectal cancer mortality rates are higher in African Americans than in whites, while screening rates are somewhat lower. Individual social networks can reduce emotional and/or logistical barriers to healthpromoting but distasteful procedures such as CRC screening. The aim of this study was to examine social network interactions, and their impact on CRC screening among African Americans. We hypothesized a positive association between social network index (SNI) scores and CRC screening.

Methods: In a community intervention trial …
