Enhancing Revenue In College Sport Events By Practicing Yield Management And E-Commerce, Johnny C. Ho, Pingjun Jiang Feb 2022

Enhancing Revenue In College Sport Events By Practicing Yield Management And E-Commerce, Johnny C. Ho, Pingjun Jiang

The Coastal Business Journal

Many colleges and universities have been facing increasingly tight budgets in recent years and have been struggling to provide more funding for their own athletic programs. In some cases, specific sport programs of a college or university have had to be terminated due to lack of monies appropriated from the central administration. Yield or revenue management is a method of assigning capacity or inventory to meet demand in such a way to maximize revenue. This paper examines the feasibility and discusses the benefits of applying yield management via e-commerce to increase surplus/decrease deficit in those college sport programs where paid …

Starting A Small Business Outreach Program: The Experience Of A Small Southeastern University, Kirk C. Heriot, Noel D. Campbell

The Coastal Business Journal

When the Federal government decided not to fund the Small Business Institute through the U.S. Small Business Administration, many business schools eliminated or severely curtailed their SBI activities. Despite lacking federal funds, a southeastern rural university founded a new Small Business Institute program in 1999. Since inception it has assisted forty-five small businesses in a five county area. This paper describes starting a new business outreach program without Federal funds. It concludes with observations and implications relating to other schools starting or renewing an SBI program.

Critical Success Factors For Inner City Businesses, Robert C. Eisenstadt, Paul S. Nelson, Tammy R. Parker Feb 2022

Critical Success Factors For Inner City Businesses, Robert C. Eisenstadt, Paul S. Nelson, Tammy R. Parker

The Coastal Business Journal

We survey incumbent businesses in the Ouachita Enterprise Community primarily located in Monroe, Louisiana. We seek to discover what common factors are critical to the success of inner city businesses. Our results indicate that taxes are a strong negative factor while government regulation is a positive factor. The availability of information technology, good transportation links, and location are important positive factors. Internal factors such as good customer relations were important while production costs relatively unimportant. Internal factors were rated as more important than external factors suggesting training programs to be an effective economic development tool.

A Measure Of The Factors Impacting The Effectiveness And Efficiency Of Ebay In The Supply Chain Of Online Firms, Eugene M. Bland, Robert T. Barrett

The Coastal Business Journal

This research investigates the auction properties that influence eBay's effectiveness (ability to attract bidders) and efficiency (ability to maximize price and profit) as the distribution link of the supply chain. The research extends the literature pioneered by Lucking-Reiley (2000) on eBay auctions. We found that the effectiveness of using eBay is influenced by the item description in the auction heading, the initial price, the timing of the auction and the operating condition of the item, in our case an inexpensive, functional HP 12-C financial calculator. The efficiency of eBay, on the other hand, is influenced by the ability to attract …

New Frontiers In Management Research: The Case For Industrial Archeology, William Crandall, Alan Rowe, John A. Parnell

The Coastal Business Journal

Management scholars traditionally rely on the review of journals and empirical data for information used in research projects and in the classroom. However, there is also a vast amount of material that remains virtually untapped by many management researchers - the artifacts, pictures, and remains of industrial and commercial organizations. Industrial archeologists specialize in studying organizational life, particularly, the life of manufacturing facilities, by examining of empirical data, as well as pictures, records, internal and external correspondence, other printed materials, and artifacts. This article delineates how management scholars can also take advantage of the wealth of secondary material that exists …


A Note On The Economic Implications Of A Focused Tourism Event: Bikers In Myrtle Beach, Robert D. Nale, Dennis A. Rauch, Peter B. Barr Feb 2022

A Note On The Economic Implications Of A Focused Tourism Event: Bikers In Myrtle Beach, Robert D. Nale, Dennis A. Rauch, Peter B. Barr

The Coastal Business Journal

As we have graphically seen since September 11, 2001, areas which depend heavily upon tourism as a primary source of income face a host of challenges. South Carolina's Grand Strand area is a good example of just such an area. A number of focused tourism-related events intended to attract a certain segment of the population have evolved over the years. Two such events revolve around the attraction of motorcyclists. One occurs during early to mid-May (with a burgeoning repeat presence in the Fall), while the other occurs over Memorial Day weekend. Both events have proven to be successful in terms …

Does Strategic Planning Help Churches?: An Exploratory Study, Amit J. Shah, Fred R. David, Zigmont J. Surawski Iii

The Coastal Business Journal

Many organizations in both the profit and not-for-profit arenas have discovered the benefits of strategic planning. An increasing number of churches and ministries are applying the principles of strategic planning (Clinton, Williams, & Stevens, 1995). In the 1990s, organizations including churches…are playing "Jeopardy" if they do not have strategic plans in place (Maes, 1998). This research examines to what extent strategic planning is being used among churches. Data was gathered through distribution of a survey mailed to churches in South Carolina. The pastor of each church personally completed the survey and returned it via e-mail, postal service, or fax. Initial …

Experiences And Challenges In Taking A Print Journal On-Line, Robert D. Nale, Robert B. Burney Feb 2022

Experiences And Challenges In Taking A Print Journal On-Line, Robert D. Nale, Robert B. Burney

The Coastal Business Journal

For a number of years, an annual publication of the Wall College of Business at Coastal Carolina University (The Coastal Business Review and later, Journal) was produced in standard print form. Because of increasing budgetary concerns experienced by the University and the State of South Carolina, the cost of printing the journal in the traditional fashion became increasingly prohibitive. When publishing deadlines were missed, several avenues were explored regarding how the College could deal with the problem. While unique for an institution of this size, the creation of a totally on-line journal began to assert itself as a viable option. …

Do Veterans Seek Mental Health Counseling?, Jonathan D. Williams

Journal of Graduate Education Research

The purpose of this non-experimental study was to determine if there is a difference in attitudes towards seeking mental health services between veterans and civilians. Participants were a convenience sample of 54 veterans and civilians from around the United States. The participants completed a survey, that was introduced through social media, to determine their attitude towards seeking mental health services. An analysis of the results revealed that there is not a significant difference between veterans’ and civilians’ attitudes towards seeking mental health services.
