Sport Tourists In A Gaming Destination: Predicting Gaming And Non-Gaming Expenditures, Chris Brown, James A. Busser, Seyhmus Baloglu
Sport Tourists In A Gaming Destination: Predicting Gaming And Non-Gaming Expenditures, Chris Brown, James A. Busser, Seyhmus Baloglu
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Sport tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry. Although there are a number of benefits to cities as a result of sport tourism, the most desired aspect of hosting contests is economic impact. This study examined the gaming and non-gaming impact of six major sporting events held in Las Vegas over a ten-year period. The results indicate that length of stay is a significant contributor to economic impact and that sport tourism has an important role to play in the economy of Las Vegas.
Analyzing The Relationship Between Systematic Risk And Financial Variables In The Casino Industry, Toni Repetti, Jungsun Kim
Analyzing The Relationship Between Systematic Risk And Financial Variables In The Casino Industry, Toni Repetti, Jungsun Kim
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The gaming industry, previous to 2007, had experienced a continued increase in revenues and stock prices, but in late 2007, the industry started to be affected by a recession. To have a better understanding of the relationship between this external economic factor (recession) and a gaming company's systematic risk (beta), this study analyzed which financial ratios are significant predictors of beta and evaluated if these financial ratios better predict beta before or during the recession. The financial ratios examined in this study include return on assets, liabilities as a percentage of assets, asset turnover, quick ratio, EBIT growth rate, and …
Estimating The Impact Of California Tribal Gaming On Demand For Casino Gaming In Nevada, William R. Eadington, Richard H. Wells, Derek Gossi
Estimating The Impact Of California Tribal Gaming On Demand For Casino Gaming In Nevada, William R. Eadington, Richard H. Wells, Derek Gossi
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Since 1990, the California tribal casino industry has grown from a very small and insignificant industry to one with annual gross gaming revenues of about $7.5 billion per annum by 2009. Over this same period, Nevada's gaming revenues grew from approximately $5.0 billion in 1990 to $10.4 billion in 2009, having declined from a peak of $12.8 billion in 2007. Much of the recent decline in Nevada and especially Las Vegas can be attributed to the severity of the economic recession of 2007-2009. However, the major Northern Nevada destination resorts of Reno and South Lake Tahoe had experienced substantial slowdowns …
''Shots From The Pulpit:'' An Ethnographic Content Analysis Of United States Anti-Gambling Social Movement Documents From 1816-2010, Bo J. Bernhard, Robert Futrell, Andrew Harper
''Shots From The Pulpit:'' An Ethnographic Content Analysis Of United States Anti-Gambling Social Movement Documents From 1816-2010, Bo J. Bernhard, Robert Futrell, Andrew Harper
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The history of anti-gambling impulses is perhaps as old as the gambling impulse itself, but academic research has thus far neglected the topic of anti-gambling social movements. Using social movement literature as a theoretical guide and ethnographic content analysis as a methodological tool, this paper examines anti-gambling documents produced in the United States over nearly two hundred years. During this period, three distinct periods emerge: first, an early ( 1816-1915) period framed the gambling act on strict religious grounds as an individual sin. This religious framing was then challenged by the rise of more rational and scientifically-based medical discourses on …
Evaluating The Impact Of A New Resort Amenity On Gaming Business Volumes, Anthony F. Lucas, Sarah Tanford
Evaluating The Impact Of A New Resort Amenity On Gaming Business Volumes, Anthony F. Lucas, Sarah Tanford
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Using performance data from an Atlantic City hotel-casino, theoretical models are advanced to estimate the effects of a new indoor pool/nightclub on both daily coin-in and table game drop. This study represents the first attempt to estimate the indirect gaming contributions of a new nongaming amenity. The pool/nightclub variable was found to significantly increase table game drop at a rate of $150,500 per day, but it failed to produce a significant effect in the coin-in model. The core model, design, and results described herein are critical to operators and developers alike, as estimating the impacts of new nongaming amenities on …
A Lack Of Willpower May Influence A Leader’S Ability To Act Morally, Tom Karp
A Lack Of Willpower May Influence A Leader’S Ability To Act Morally, Tom Karp
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Acts of moral leadership do not come without risks of loss of employment, a lessening of personal stature, and compromised mental and physical wellbeing. Thus, the quest to act as a values-based leader necessarily commands the exercise of unfettered willpower and a tenacious willingness to assume such risks.
Secrets Of Your Leadership Success: The 11 Indispensable E’S Of A Leader, M. S. Rao
Secrets Of Your Leadership Success: The 11 Indispensable E’S Of A Leader, M. S. Rao
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Professor Rao has used his experiences in organizational systems to produce a “recipe” for true leadership. In developing the 11 E’s — from Enthusiasm to Ethics —this author attempts to identify the traits characteristically and uniformly found in great leaders. While each component may be descriptive of a recognized head of a particular organization, successful principled leadership mandates the amalgamation of all of these enumerated traits.
The Conscious Organization: Prospects For A Self-Actualized Workforce, John Renesch
The Conscious Organization: Prospects For A Self-Actualized Workforce, John Renesch
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Values-based leadership is not something that is readily attainable without an individual and collective commitment to a lifelong course of self-evaluation. The “Conscious Organization” model is re-introduced by Renesch who describes it as “a group of people who are constantly examining their individual and collective consciousness.” Thus, the conscious organization is not a stagnant goal, but perpetually a work-in-progress.
Appalachian Farmers: Building Value From Values, Natalie Shubert, Amy Taylor-Blanco, Ana L. Rosado Feger
Appalachian Farmers: Building Value From Values, Natalie Shubert, Amy Taylor-Blanco, Ana L. Rosado Feger
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This trio of authors has presented a microcosm of values-based shared business practices, involving local food production and distribution in a small, rural Appalachian region in the United States. They focus upon the collective activities of a group committed to advancing local business practices while eliminating unnecessary transportation costs, boosting the region’s economic infrastructure, and most importantly, bringing people together to share experiences and pass along knowledge designed to benefit their communities and generate a sustainable agricultural-based economy.
Ethical Governance In The Indian Construction Industry: A Case Study Of Larsen & Toubro Ltd., Shashank Shah
Ethical Governance In The Indian Construction Industry: A Case Study Of Larsen & Toubro Ltd., Shashank Shah
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Governance has moved beyond mere fulfilment of legal requirements. The corporate debacles of the last decade and more have indicated how very respectable corporate organisations across the globe succumbed to greed and compromised on ethics and organisational value systems. Corporate Governance is mainly concerned with the intrinsic nature, purpose, integrity, and identity of an organisation. It encompasses the entire gamut of organisational stakeholders. While a lot of literature is available in the field of Corporate Governance, an analysis of corporate organisations in terms of their stakeholder-related initiatives has hitherto not been attempted. In this paper, the author has used the …

Leadership Shortcomings: A Values Deficit, Ritch K. Eich
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Eich shapes his personal definition of principled leadership by examining several modern-day leaders. He examines the impetus and motivation that characterize successful, exemplary leaders and explains why their actions exude integrity, spawn followers and emulators, and generate widespread respect.
Corporate Political Spending: Why Shareholders Must Weigh In, Julie N.W. Goodridge, Christine Jantz
Corporate Political Spending: Why Shareholders Must Weigh In, Julie N.W. Goodridge, Christine Jantz
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This article focuses upon the growing problem confronting companies and their shareholders: the use of general treasury (i.e., shareholder money) to propagate political agendas which are not only contrary to companies’ policies of employment, but are committed without the input or knowledge of the shareholder, leading to an aura of distrust, alienation, and diminution of both shareholder value and principled leadership.
Value Shifts: Redefining “Leadership” A Narrative, Joseph Hester
Value Shifts: Redefining “Leadership” A Narrative, Joseph Hester
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This article provides a historical narrative documenting the major rifts and shifts in the concept of “value” in the 20th and 21st centuries. It is the author’s contention that these shifts have confused the conceptualization of value, making it a rather broad and meaningless term. Thus, to define “leadership” as “values- or ethically-based,” one must first provide a substantial defense of a particular moral view upon which leadership is want to be situated. This task is made arduous because “value” and “morals” have become confused in the morass of postmodernism and its political correlate, political correctness.

Risks & Rewards: Understanding Management Influences On Employee Engagement & Well-Being During Management Transitions, Dale E. Hartz
Risks & Rewards: Understanding Management Influences On Employee Engagement & Well-Being During Management Transitions, Dale E. Hartz
Student Scholarship
In spite of enormous changes occurring routinely within organizations and the resulting movement of managers, there is only limited research on management transitions and even less research on the effects the transitions have on those being managed. Because of its potential to be a factor in organizational performance and competitiveness, employee engagement and well-being, has recently been receiving significant attention both in the practitioner and academic worlds. However, there is a dearth of research available on what occurs with employee engagement and well-being during management transitions. Our findings effectively illustrate the various states that employees function in during management transitions …
Notes Toward A Definition Of Values-Based Leadership, James O'Toole
Notes Toward A Definition Of Values-Based Leadership, James O'Toole
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
O’Toole distinguishes values-based leaders from other types of leadership by citing to various examples of both historical and present day leaders. In the end, as O’Toole notes, the values defining the leader are the values that leader holds dear.
Values-Based Leadership: How Our Personal Values Impact The Workplace, Katherine W. Dean
Values-Based Leadership: How Our Personal Values Impact The Workplace, Katherine W. Dean
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
As an individual’s personal values ostensibly impact others and influence their actions, values-based leaders can benefit greatly by exercising their own values to develop vision and to inspire others.
Positively Deviant Organizational Performance And The Role Of Leadership Values, Kim S. Cameron
Positively Deviant Organizational Performance And The Role Of Leadership Values, Kim S. Cameron
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Cameron cites the infusion of collaborative values and restructuring of relationships as a primary reason for the successful clean up and closure of Rocky Flats, one of U.S.’s most hazardous and controversial toxic dumps. Success was contingent upon mutual trust and respect of and between traditionally adversarial groups by adopting a mutual proactive, sharing orientation and empathetic attitudes. The true leaders in this venture shifted from a profit-first stance to changing organizational culture, ensuring that individuals (especially leaders and influencers) pursued an abundance-based vision.
Turn Your Values Into Value, Mark S. Albion
Turn Your Values Into Value, Mark S. Albion
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Business is about the creation of values. The quintessential bottom line is not so much monetarily defined as it is related to heart and passion and making a unique contribution to the world. In this article, Albion debunks well-rooted myths of the development and placement of business values by stressing the importance of engaging people and migrating toward – not away from – one’s own values.
Citizen Engineers: Leaders In Building A Sustainable World, Joseph "Bud" Ahearn
Citizen Engineers: Leaders In Building A Sustainable World, Joseph "Bud" Ahearn
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
As with the “citizen soldiers” of World War II, the engineering industry must produce “citizen engineers” who will accept the leadership challenge necessary to deliver a combination of technical, economic, social, and environmental values to its stakeholders that will truly improve people’s quality of life.
Spiritual Enterprise: Doing Virtuous Business, Dane Starbuck
Spiritual Enterprise: Doing Virtuous Business, Dane Starbuck
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
While textbooks and other non-fiction works concerning modern-day business practices are replete with detailing the endless stream of corporate scandals, reviewer Starbuck looks deeply into this writing of T.R. Malloch and finds something quite hopeful and inspiring: the plethora of enterprises that do follow virtuous practices – and succeed.
We Lead From The Inside Out, James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner
We Lead From The Inside Out, James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Succeeding Through Collaborative Conflict: The Paradoxical Lessons Of Shared Leadership, Rebecca Paulson, Habibullah Wajdi, Charles C. Manz
Succeeding Through Collaborative Conflict: The Paradoxical Lessons Of Shared Leadership, Rebecca Paulson, Habibullah Wajdi, Charles C. Manz
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Facing serious challenges that may dictate the complete overhaul of business mindset and industry must be directed by sound leadership. But is it possible to lead alone or is collaboration necessary to confront these challenges? These authors tackle the well-known idiom “two heads are better than one” and extract from its meaning the inherent dichotomy in shared leadership, mediating differences of direction, and preserving the integrity of individual perspective in this new age.
Assuming The Leadership Role On Climate Change And Energy Security, Richard G. Lugar

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
With decades of service in the United States Senate, including Chairing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Lugar addresses the most looming issues facing mankind: global climate change and energy dependence. He concludes that effective leadership must not exist myopically, but must be shared by global partners, both friendly and hostile, and optimistically forecasts resolution through ingenuity and innovation.
