Hsu, Hsin-Wei, Chia-Ying Chen, and Chia-Wen Wu. "Cross-Cultural Comparison of Sustainable Agro-Food Consumption from Consumers’ Perspectives: Cases from Taiwan and France." Sustainability 13, no. 17 (August 30, 2021): 9733. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su13179733.
Full textAbstract:
Sustainable agro-food consumption is a model intended to conserve the resources of today for future need. Consumers play a crucial role in transitioning towards sustainable food consumption, as they judge the attributes of products on the market and are the final decision-makers when it comes to changing consumption habits. Consequently, investigations on agro-food consumption from consumers’ perspectives are of great value. Therefore, we first referred to 60 articles to summarize 11 important factors of sustainable food consumption and identified three possible policy measures from the perspectives of consumers and cultural conditions, evaluating them using cases from both France and Taiwan. In addition, this study showed the dissimilarities between eco-consumption preferences for the two case areas, also evaluating consumers’ expectations on future policy alternatives through the application of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and a survey. Moreover, demographic comparisons have been undertaken to support, explain, and re-examine the results. The results show that the key factors for sustainable food consumption are product accessibility, tradition, and regional factors. Policy measures focus on product certification and information. Due to different perceptions regarding product differentiation, people in Taiwan pay less attention to sustainable food prices. In France, obvious age-differentiated preferences as regards the promotion of policies were revealed: young people preferred certification, whilst elderly people preferred the provision of information.

In this article, the authors examine cross-cultural variations in how people discount the future. Specifically, they predict that people from Western cultures are relatively less patient and therefore discount the future to a greater degree than do people from Eastern cultures, and thus Westerners value immediate consumption relatively more. Furthermore, on the basis of regulatory focus theory, the authors predict that when Easterners are faced with the threat of a delay in receiving a product (i.e., a prevention loss), they are more impatient, whereas when Westerners are faced with the threat of not being able to enjoy a product early (i.e., a promotion loss), their impatience increases. This enhanced impatience manifests in preference for expedited consumption of a product purchased online in two studies. In both studies, the authors used a priming methodology on “bicultural” Singaporean participants; the results support the predictions. In the second study, they also found evidence in support of the process-based explanation for the interaction between culture and message framing.

With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, consumers ' demand for cultural and creative products shows a trend of diversification and individualization, and people are becoming more and more picky about the aesthetics of cultural and creative products. Cultural and creative products should not only carry the use function and aesthetic function of the product, but also contain rich connotations of culture and art. Due to the lack of systematic theoretical and practical support, most product designers design a product based on their own experience and inspiration. Such a product is difficult to accurately and efficiently meet consumers' consumption needs . How to let design students use innovative methods to learn design is an important part of educational cultural and creative design methods. Based on the method of innovative design, it analyzes the excellent work , and strives to provide a certain basis and reference for the design education of cultural and creative products .

Full textAbstract:
Marketers have heralded a major shift in the way products and brands are currently marketed to consumers. Rather than marketing a product or brand on its rational or functional attributes, such as touting a car's horsepower, agility or smooth ride, marketers now sell brands on their experiential or emotional dimensions, such as the sensations offered from driving the car brand. This shift towards ‘experiential marketing’ has not only affected the advertising end-product of executions, the advertising research process, but has also spurred new modes and models for advertising media planning. To wit, the linear and sequential model of media persuasion is being replaced by more open-ended, experiential models. Have marketers tapped into a new personalised way to approximate the consumer, or are these merely revised means of objectifying the consumer? This paper explores these dimensions and looks at what the changes in media models and consumer representations mean to marketers.

Public cultural service is a product of a new era, and it is also an important product of the urbanization process. Public cultural services can not only improve the cohesion between the government and residents, but also it can improve the living standards and happiness index of residents. The public cultural service product is not only a symbol of the city, and it is more important to meet the needs and satisfaction of the residents. It needs to truly understand the preferences and needs of residents and then build public cultural service products according to their preferences. The social public cultural service model under the traditional model is dominated by the willingness of the government, which makes it difficult to truly understand the preferences and needs of residents. This paper uses data fusion and neural network methods to study the influencing factors in public cultural services. The results show that the data fusion method can capture the relationship between the factors of the public cultural service and the residents' preference, and the error of the four factors is less than 2.83% for the classification of the public cultural service. The largest prediction error is only 3.11%, and this part of the error comes from residents' satisfaction with the public cultural industry, which is an acceptable error.

Abstract One of the earlier definitions of cross-cultural management focuses on its behavioral aspects and underlines an importance of interaction of people from different cultures. “Cross-cultural management is the study of the behavior of people in organizations located in cultures and nations around the world” [Adler 1983, p. 226]. This definition is based on the description of organizational behavior within countries and cultures on one hand and of organizational behavior across countries and cultures on another. Peoples from different countries often work together in the same environment creating specific interactions but they can also built special relationships during their leisure time. Looking at the particular subject of management from this perspective it is possible to notice that tourism products have quite big potential for creating cross-cultural interactions when services are produced in different cultures or/and consumed in different cultural context. It is mainly connected with a simultaneous production and consumption on the one hand and consumer’s participation in both processes on the other hand. Tourism products posses an additional feature which creates a cross-cultural dimension in both production and consumption: movement (traveling) between different cultural environments which is a source of different cultural experiences; they have to be recognized a priori to be placed on the market with the tourism product. On the other hand tourism services have to be produced according to identified consumer expectations in different cultures. The aim of the study is to present selected aspects of tourism products which can create cross-cultural interactions and require a special managerial marketing approach. This article discusses an impact of cultural diversity on organizational behavior in international tourism and on consumer behavior in cultural tourism with a special focus on cross-cultural interactions in consumption of tourism products. This is connected with the fact that tourism products are produced and consumed by tourists in different cultures; this relationship can create specific interactions of many types. The main research method applied is a literature review on cultural tourism and marketing.

Full textAbstract:
This study uniquely employs a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) technique to account for complex relationships in consumption. The fsQCA technique assumes that relationships are based on a set–subset relationship. This assumption is fundamental when decision-makers are affected by information asymmetry and are, thus, required to jointly evaluate the credibility and reliability of a range of external signals. This issue also affects consumers in markets for cultural goods, where the quality of products is not known with certainty in advance of the purchase decision. Our study uses fsQCA to establish the effect of different quality signals on consumption in the US market for video game software. Our results show that reviews from professional critics alongside brand extension and multi-platform release strategies act as signals of product quality and, therefore, lead to high sales performance.

Full textAbstract:
According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, the marginal utility when consumers purchase a certain product shows a diminishing trend. As a special product, cultural tourism products, whether is the marginal utility produced during consumption also affected by the law of diminishing marginal utility. This paper takes “Impression Liu Sanjie” as the research object and uses a linear regression equation model to study the marginal utility of tourists “Impression Liu Sanjie” cultural tourism products. The results show that the marginal utility produced by tourists buying the cultural tourism products of “Impression Liu Sanjie” shows an obvious decreasing trend. The main reason is that the cultural tourism products of “Impression Liu Sanjie” lack innovation and strong brand characteristics, the overall scale is small, the positioning is not accurate, etc., affected by the competition of homogenized products in the surrounding area, and the return rate of tourists is low. Moreover, there is a gap between existing products and the development trend of high-end tourism, which cannot meet the needs of tourists for indepth experience and research tourism. Therefore, “Impression Liu Sanjie” needs to intensify innovation, fundamentally solve the problem of diminishing marginal utility, further stabilize the source of tourists and meet the needs of tourists for repeated consumption quality, and realize sustainable tourism development.

Full textAbstract:
Whilst considerable attention has been given to the role of cultural tourism in city development and the ‘gentrification’ of inner city areas, there has been little research into the experiences of cultural tourists. Past research shows that their experience is conceptualised as a ‘pre-programmed’ product made especially for mass consumption. It is often assumed that the commoditisation of urban tourism results in ‘standardised’ city environments, loss of culture and traditions, loss of place distinctiveness and subsequent loss of ‘authenticity’. According to this line of reasoning, cultural tourists consume ‘specimens of the artificial’ which are mass produced, predictable, standardised, superficial, and hence ‘inauthentic’. The central focus of this article is the ongoing debate concerning the consumption of tourists’ cultural experiences within the context of city tourism. Issues associated with the various dimensions of ‘authenticity’ that inform cultural tourism studies are critically assessed. Finally, by way of conclusion the article offers a fresh perspective for understanding the consumption of urban experiences.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding of what drives mainstream consumers to purchase ethnic-inspired designs (EID) is lacking, and even less is understood about the self-centric values (personal values and product values) and the goal pursuits (enhancing self-view confidence) they project by consuming EID. We set out to fill this void, using image theory as a conceptual framework on data collected by a marketing research firm from 1,153 women on its female consumer panel. We found that mainstream consumers’ aspirations to enhance self-view confidence (self-enhancement) are a key driver determining their purchase intent toward EID products. We also found that self-enhancement is directly influenced by the product values (perceived aesthetics and novelty) of EID, and the effects of personal values (cultural openness and seeking personal style) on self-enhancement are mediated by product values.

In this article the cultural product is understood in two contexts. According to the first one it is perceived as a result of cultural production, which depends on the characteristics of cultural work and communication between the producer and the audience, ie the peculiarities of the consumption of cultural products. According to the second approach it is a tool for cultural dialogue and cultural diplomacy. Thus, the logic of presenting the theses is intended to analyze three main aspects: cultural work (its specific features, the level of understanding and perception), cultural consumption (dialogue of the artist with the audience, ethics of art production), features of the ecosystem of cultural production of Ukraine. The necessity to legitimize the cultural economics (an inherent component of cultural space) as a subject of research focuses on three main tasks: first, to create an appropriate ecosystem for cultural development (from training to clear financial terms, the status of cultural production in society and economy); secondly, to reproduce the laws of social relations in cultural production (from working conditions and the status of artists to dialogue with the audience or the consumption of cultural products) and thirdly, to implement the strategies for the development of culture and cultural industries. This justifies the relevance of the given topic for research, aimed to analyze the importance of the economic component of cultural production for the concept of cultural dialogue.

Full textAbstract:
As a crop, the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, has been part of multiple human cultures since at least 5000 BCE. Its role as both food and medicine has made this plant an important traditional agricultural product. However, today research on such functions has been largely eclipsed by the narcotic use of opium and its derivatives and the economies that stem from them. The historical uses of poppy and related cultural conceptualizations of its nutritive and medicinal aspects contrast against practices and commodification introduced by European colonization. The commodification of the narcotic potential of the opium poppy has been used by multiple actors since the onset of globalized economic expansion as a means of attaining financial and political power. This paper draws on research compiled from academic, journalistic, and other sources to create a holistic framework for examining the complex health, social, and economic issues related to contemporary production and use of the opium poppy. This paper concludes that future research, specifically anthropological field research grounded in historical and sociopolitical contexts, can offer important insights into the lived experiences of individuals and cultures that produce, distrubute, and consume the poppy as food and medicine. Such future research may offer critical insight into the relationship between the cultural constructs of food and medicine and the effects of narcotic substance consumption. Such research may also offer insight into the possible restructuring of cultural meanings and economies on a broader scale in order to mitigate the harmful effects of narcotic substances within foods.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to identify and classify consumers’ goals associated with the consumption of environmentally sustainable products. The applicability of such goals to the positioning of environmental products is also tested. Design/methodology/approach – Study 1 used 62 laddering interviews to identify a hierarchical map of adoption related goals. Study 2 used a survey design (N = 152 students) to test the effects of construal-goal fit on evaluations of environmental product attributes of a hybrid car. Study 3 involved an online experiment (N = 125 consumer panellists) to test the effects of construal-goal fit on consumers’ willingness to pay a price premium (WTPP) for energy-efficient light bulbs. Findings – A hierarchical goal map displays consumption goals attainable through environmentally sustainable products. Consumers with a chronic, high-level construal placed more importance on product attributes associated with abstract goals than those with chronic, low-level construal. This effect was stronger for males than for females. Additionally, construal-goal fit increased WTPP. Research limitations/implications – The results suggest that marketers consider construal-goal fit to communicate the value of environmentally sustainable products. The results, however, should be replicated in other product categories and across diverse cultural settings. Originality/value – This paper identifies and classifies the goals related to consumption of environmentally sustainable products. Additionally, it tests the effects of construal-goal fit on evaluations of environmental products, providing insights for marketers seeking to improve their promotional efforts and for public policymakers as they institute demarketing campaigns.

AbstractObjectives:This study aims to analyse the differences, with regard to socio-cultural characteristics and dietary habits, between low and high consumers of yoghurt and other fermented dairy product desserts, and the nutritional significance of these differences.Methods:We analysed the diet of a healthy population (4–65 years), using the 24-hour recall method, on three non-consecutive days. The participants were grouped by age and sex and were also divided into tertiles on the basis of yoghurt consumption. We compared energy and nutrient intakes, educational level and socio-economic status in the low consumption (LC) group and the high consumption (HC) group.Results:In general there were no significant differences in energy intake or nutritional profile between LC and HC groups. The only significant difference was in the percentage of energy provided by lipids, which was significantly lower in HC women, possibly due to the high number of women in this group who consumed low-fat yoghurt. There were significant differences in the distribution of HC and LC subjects according to the three educational levels (P < 0.05) but n according to socio-economic status.Conclusion:The fact of being a high consumer of fermented dairy products took place in the framework of other dietary changes that compensated for this high consumption, resulting in the absence of significant differences in energy intake and nutritional profile between HC and LC subjects. The only exception was found in women who consumed low-fat dairy products. There was a relationship between high consumption of fermented dairy products and educational level.

Full textAbstract:
In the Western academic tradition, tangible cultural heritage (monuments, buildings, sites and material objects) has generally been considered as a privileged means of constructing places and territory, whereas intangible cultural heritage (oral traditions, arts, crafts, feasts, rituals, song, music, dance) have been associated with the identification of ethnic groups. This article aims to demonstrate that intangible cultural heritage can also be a powerful means of the construction of place, through a case study that shows how the consumption of home-grown agricultural products in Quebec transforms territories into places of heritage. This transformative process is accomplished, first, by the symbolic production and consumption of place. By clearly identifying the place of origin of the product on the label, in writing as well as in image, the act of eating homegrown products entails a displacement of territory from their place of production to their place of incorporation. The distant and the faraway are brought home and made familiar. To further reinforce the domestication of place, the consumer is invited to come and purchase the homegrown product at the place of production and to bring it back home with him. Second, these places areheritagitizedthrough the social production and consumption of time. Homegrown products are expressions of the continuity of place through the material conservation of food (dehydration, salting, freezing, etc.), the process of ageing itself and, more importantly, the transmission of their intangible qualities (traditional knowledge, transmission of receipts, preservation of taste). These practices become specific to a place to the point that they give the product a distinctive taste that is passed on from generation to generation. It is through taste that the memory of people and place is reactivated. The author of the article further suggests that it is these intangible elements which most efficiently and forcefully express the heritage of place.

Full textAbstract:
The syar'i hijab has become a global fashion product targeting Muslim women, nowadays it is part of the cultural industry that is captured by capitalism in pursuit of profit. The syar'i hijab that displays visualization of the discourse of piety and beauty makes consumption practices an effort to articulate the identity of Muslim women for religious observance. Massive distribution through the media or fashion show events is part of the visualization of the lifestyle of fashion fans which is echoed for the perpetuation of capitalism in the circulation of production, distribution and consumption of hijab products which is echoed through the discourse of covering the genitals according to syar'i. . Consumption of hijab product brands shows social class to differentiate themselves. This often leads to aesthetic violence in an effort to match the tastes of the lower class to force them to buy hijab products with the same brand as the figure they idolize. Consumption practices that show the articulation of Muslim women's identities in religious discourse are increasingly being captured by capitalism in an effort to create changes in hijab modes. The concept of obsolescence planning is part of production management for hijab product offerings that continue to grow, and capitalism is increasingly hidden behind the discourse of piety.

Branding ecological agricultural products can not only meet consumers' demand for high-quality agricultural products, but also an effective way to promote agricultural and rural economic development and achieve sustainable utilization of resources. First, analyze the development and consumption status of brand ecological agricultural products. Secondly, through the analysis of the product cognition, product quality, brand building and consumer purchase intention of the brand ecological agricultural products. Then it is found that: consumer income level, education level, price of brand ecological agricultural products and consumer awareness are important influencing factors of consumers' purchase intention, and the growth environment, cultural background and packaging of agricultural products themselves also have different degrees of influence; Nearly half of consumers maintain a trusting attitude towards all links of the whole industrial chain of branded ecological agricultural products; consumers' purchase intention and decision-making behavior of branded ecological agricultural products are influenced by their family's healthy consumption purpose, purchase channels and information sources. Finally, it is suggested to strengthen the cultivation of brand ecological agricultural products; formulate personalized marketing strategies; carry out various publicity activities to improve consumer awareness; strengthen market supervision; strictly control product quality; reduce production costs to meet public needs.

Full textAbstract:
Differences in cultural consumption are well recognized as potential forces for changing the cultural identity of consumers. Based on this logic, our hypothesis posits that Chinese readers, who comprise the largest fan community of Japanese comics/anime, are culturally influenced by this foreign product. To examine this hypothesis, we question whether the global values and worldviews of freedom, peaceful coexistence, justice, companionship, and humanity, which are embedded in Japanese comics/anime, influence the values and ideology of Chinese readers. This study was aimed to examine the reading strategies and patterns in legally or illegally imported border-crossing cultural products to assess the potential cultural impact of their consumption on young Chinese readers. Their differences in passion could affect their devotion, their identity, and their worldviews. In this study, focus groups in Japan and China, in-depth interviews, and textual analyses of Japanese comic/amine were conducted to examine the reading, fandom, and cultural impact of comics/anime on Chinese urban youth. The significance of this study is that it explores new models of active reading that affect the long-term shape of and changes in the values and identities of Chinese youth. The findings of this study shed light on whether imported cultural products could transform, change, and dilute the ideologies of the state and nationalism, thereby allowing new and alternative imaginings of values and global citizenship, which are emerging areas of interest in global communication studies.

Full textAbstract:
Product diversity and the producer are inseparable and crucial in choosing cultural products within a region. The study sought to understand cultural diversity in influencing destination brand equity in Mombasa County. Cross-sectional mixed-method design was used with a sample size of 350 respondents. Simple stratified random sampling was used with the optimum allocation method to select cultural resource sites. Stirling index was used where Simpson measured variation of cultural resources and balanced 'ex-ante' of various cultural products into a single indicator. The results show that cultural resources influence the destination brand equity efficacy on main brand aspects. The destination brand equity includes design, communication, packaging, guests' experiences, personality, and presumed liaison at the destination. As such, cultural products alone will not influence the destination brand equity if they are not consumed. Policies for marketing cultural products to promote consumption are required.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the consumption patterns of black Americans for five different commodity groups: food, housing, clothing, health care, and transportation. The black consumer's demand for these products is hypothesized as describable by the linear expenditure system. The system allows the investigation of changing relative commodity prices and income. The system also establishes a basic consumption bundle as an estimable parameter of the system. The basic bundle allows for changes in composition due to increased product familiarity, habit formation, and emulation by black consumers. Product familiarity and habit-formation play a role in determining the black consumer's demand for the commodities food, housing, and clothing. This demand is also partially determined by the consumer's “emulation” of consumption standards established by society in general. The article is not a comparison study of black-white differences in consumer behavior; however, the possible existence of an emulation effect in black consumer behavior suggests an interrelation of black-white consumer welfare which might fruitfully be studied by future researchers.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to define the niche market concept and to investigate the extent to which purchasing niche products represents a form of conspicuous consumption. Consumers increasingly seek products that differ from the mainstream, and companies regard niche markets as a promising opportunity beyond saturated mass markets. Design/methodology/approach – Based on survey data that combines self-report scales and actual purchase decisions, the effects of different dimensions of conspicuous consumption on niche product choice are investigated using binary logistic regression. Findings – Choosing niche products over mass market products is mainly influenced by differentiation tendencies. Moreover, consumers use niche products to strengthen their role as opinion leaders. Choice of mass market products, on the other hand, is influenced by assimilation tendencies. In contrast to common assumptions, status-seeking consumers are more likely to choose a mass market alternative over niche products. Research limitations/implications – Based on the conceptualization of niche markets, this study reveals that niche products are a means for consumers to distinguish themselves. Limitations include the focus on a single product domain and country. Future research should replicate the study for other types of niche products and in other cultural settings. Practical implications – Niche firms should explicitly consider the social effects of conspicuous consumption as a key driver of demand. Specifically, the unique nature of a niche product should be highlighted and recognizable to increase the acceptance among potential customers. Moreover, instead of focussing the status of niche products, marketing activities should address opinion leaders’ desire to maintain their standing among the social group by providing in-depth information and enhanced customer experience. Originality/value – This paper addresses the call for a conceptual definition of niche markets. Moreover, while previous work focussed on the company perspective, this study allows for an improved understanding of consumer behaviour with regard to niche markets.

Full textAbstract:
China’s beauty industry has experienced a high degree of prosperity in recent years. Moreover, with the rise of national cultural confidence, Chinese-style beauty brands are increasingly favored by Generation Z consumers. The excellent brand construction of Chinese-style beauty makeup is worthy of reference for the Chinese beauty makeup industry. Therefore, based on the existing theoretical framework, this paper focuses on the Chinese-style beauty giant Florasis to study its brand marketing strategy. This paper uses questionnaires and content analysis to obtain primary and secondary data. The research team found that the “GuoChao” presents a huge development opportunity for the beauty market and the prevalence of Chinese style. Florasis, a Chinese-style beauty brand, caters to Generation Z consumers’ pursuit of trendy and strong national cultural identity through its successful brand marketing strategy: it takes the unique Oriental aesthetic design as the core feature of its products; Construct a “popular product system” to increase product value; Implement customized media exposure (e.g., e-commerce channels) and promotion strategies for cross-border cooperation. In addition, aiming at the problems of Florasis’ single marketing channel and low product quality, this study believes that Florasis can open offline channels to cover consumer groups in various ways and improve the core capability of product development and production to ensure product quality. This paper analyzes the feasible positioning of beauty products under the characteristics of Generation Z consumption for China’s beauty industry and how relevant makeup brands could optimize and combine consumption channels to maximize the marketing effect.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the intersection of weddings, the wedding industry, consumption, and reality TV by considering the reality TV series,Trista and Ryan’s Wedding.This show featured the real-life wedding of Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, who met on the seriesThe Bachelorette.The author argues that reality TV’s emphasis on the “real,” its narrative techniques (including product assimilation), and the wedding industry’s stress on having a “unique” wedding converge on this show to mobilize consumer fantasies and dreams of the traditional white wedding around specific consumer products. She concludes that examinations of weddings in North American culture must take into account not only the practices and rituals involved in these social and cultural events, but also consider the ways in which popular cultural forms such as reality TV work to produce particular kinds of images.

AbstractSex toys promote a new consumptive ethos whose significance may be adequately outlined by attending to the institutional implications of this product category’s consumption. By drawing on Foucault’s theory of sexuality and the technologies of the self that materialize with the aid of discursive formations about sexuality, as well as on relevant sociological and ethnographic insights, I undertake a qualitative content analysis on a corpus of 100 sex toys’ product reviews from popular magazines and web sites in order to identify how the discourse about sex toys is articulated in terms of three dominant categories of sexual scripts (Simon and Gagnon 2007, Sexual scripts. In Richard Parker & Peter Aggleton (eds.), Culture, society, and sexuality: A reader, 29–38. London: Routledge), namely, cultural scenarios, interpersonal and intrapsychic scripts. By opening up the discussion to a broader cultural terrain, I outline how the consumption experience of sex toys, as articulated in the reviews’ discursive formations, facilitates the emergence of new consumer trends, particularly with reference to orgasm-on-the-go and no-touch-orgasm, while redefining existing ones.

Full textAbstract:
Intangible cultural heritage can provide cultural value content for product development and marketing of tourism destinations, enabling these areas to obtain economic benefits. This study selects cultural identity as an antecedent variable, and applies the theory of planned behavior to construct the influence mechanism of cultural identity on tourists’ consumption intention in heritage tourism. In tourism development, visitors and local residents have reached a common cognitive basis for Kunqu Opera through cultural identity, thereby guiding consumer behavior and promoting the continuous development of Kunqu Opera tourism. This study takes Suzhou Kunqu Opera as a research object, designs a questionnaire for local residents and tourists, establishes a structural equation model, and explores the relationship between various impact factors. The results of the study show that cultural identity has a positive effect on consumption intentions in heritage tourism activities, confirming that cultural identity is an effective driving force to promote tourists’ consumption intention. Behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have a positive effect on consumption intentions. This study supplements the existing knowledge on tourists’ consumption intention in intangible cultural heritage destinations. The study also provides new insights to enhance the consumption intention and achieve long-term sustainable development of the destination.

Mezcal is a spirit distilled from the heart of the agave plant. It has been produced via traditional methods in Mexico for centuries, but recently has found popularity in the United States and other countries. The rise in demand for this artisanal product could greatly benefit the eight states in which it is legally distilled with an influx of capital from tourism and export. However, with this popularity comes outside influence and the potential for unfair business practices and cultural appropriation. This case provides a general overview of mezcal and the Mexican state of Oaxaca in which it is produced. Discussion questions are presented as well as a brief teaching note.

In our paper we present the impact of final consumption change on a product by applying the meaning of the autonomous consumption multiplier. Similar to Leontief and Kahn we introduced the multiplier of autonomous consumption, and with it the concept of the influence of change in final consumption on production in the order of a series of subsequent periods. In our analysis, the Slovenian economic investments in the renovation of Slovenian cultural heritage buildings affect the revenue of the Slovenian economy by a multiplier of 2,945. The impact on value added is 1,236. With one million investments in the renovation of Slovene cultural heritage buildings, the revenue of the Slovene economy will increase by more than 2.9 million euros and value added by 1.2 million euros after the adjustment period. The analysed investments will enable employments of 32 employees and the utilization of 3 million euros in fixed assets.

Full textAbstract:
Many regions and countries hope to employ cultural leisure products to obtain economic benefits. However, in the process of globalisation, cultural standardisation has posed difficulties for vulnerable cultures in terms of cultural inheritance and sustainable development. As with many intangible cultural heritages, Cantonese opera is also facing a shrinking market. Hence, to develop the strategy of sustainable development of Cantonese opera, this research aims to clarify the connection between cultural identity and loyalty in cultural leisure consumption in the context of Cantonese opera as a leisure product. The results show that each dimension of cultural identity has a positive effect on perceived value, and two dimensions positively affect satisfaction. The path of cultural identity building loyalty is also confirmed to be through perceived value and satisfaction. Future studies and the consequences of future practices are discussed.

Today, the level of processed-food consumption is significantly increasing. It is causing a high supply of this food by some business enterprises and tense competition between them. This study aimed to analyze the chicken-nugget consumer purchase decision-making, factors affected the purchase decision and the effect of those factors on the consumer purchase decision in Semarang City. This study employed a case-study method and involved 120 respondents aged ?17 years old who purchase chicken-nugget products selected by accidental sampling technique. The descriptive, factor, and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyze the study data. Results revealed that the chicken-nugget purchase decision process consisted of some steps: need identification, finding adequate information, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and evaluation after product purchasing. This purchase-decision was simultaneously affected by cultural, social, personal, psychological, product, price, location, and promotion factors. Cultural, personal, psychological, product, and promotion factors partially affected the consumer purchase decision.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of consumption and the emergence of the consumer have become major fields of study in the history of Europe and North America but have been largely neglected by historians of Japan, especially economic ones. This paper argues that, in Japan as elsewhere, the “birth of the consumer” predated the onset of industrialization—hence was not simply a function of the opening of the country to Western modernity—and that the growth of consumption, of “indigenous” as well as “foreign” goods, went on to represent an integral part of the process of economic development. This argument is illustrated by a case study of growth and change in the “ordinary consumption” of food and drink, and in particular of sake, a “traditional” product that emerged as a major consumer good, and of beer, the “foreign” product that was to become, alongside sake, one of the necessities of modern Japanese life.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we propose a new explanation for why certain cultural products outperform their peers to achieve widespread success. We argue that products’ position in feature space significantly predicts their popular success. Using tools from computer science, we construct a novel dataset allowing us to examine whether the musical features of nearly 27,000 songs from Billboard’s Hot 100 charts predict their levels of success in this cultural market. We find that, in addition to artist familiarity, genre affiliation, and institutional support, a song’s perceived proximity to its peers influences its position on the charts. Contrary to the claim that all popular music sounds the same, we find that songs sounding too much like previous and contemporaneous productions—those that are highly typical—are less likely to succeed. Songs exhibiting some degree of optimal differentiation are more likely to rise to the top of the charts. These findings offer a new perspective on success in cultural markets by specifying how content organizes product competition and audience consumption behavior.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the cultural differences in female consumers’ motivation to purchase appearance-enhancing products, particularly anti-aging creams. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a qualitative research design to collect the data. Focus group discussions were used. The participants were selected from Thai and Australian females, 25-45 years old in Melbourne representing the most frequent users of anti-aging products. Findings The results indicated variations among participants in their motivation to seek a better appearance. The motivation ranged from a combination of striving to achieve an ideal self and a high level of social acceptability through maintaining youthful appearance and improving on the perceived declining youthful appearance. Using anti-aging products turned out to be a means for taking care of oneself, achieving better social acceptability and improving self-image. These key motivations are inspired by the individual’s social condition and from the reactions they receive from others. These motivations are shared by all participants, but within different cultural perspectives. Research limitations/implications The main limitation is in relation to the true expression of attitudes by respondents, particularly in regard to the discussion of privately held beliefs about self-image, social acceptability and personal appearance. Additionally, the variations between cultural perceptions are only indicative of real differences between collectivist and individualistic cultures. Practical implications Managers can adopt a cultural framework for understanding their consumers’ motivations to enhance their appearance, formulate more accurately their marketing strategy and activate and satisfy their consumers’ demand and better inform their new product developments. Originality/value The analysis explains and compares the differences and similarities in female consumers’ motivations for anti-aging product consumption of two fundamentally different cultural value systems.

This research measured consumers’ emotions and change in emotion to the specific sensory taste properties and attitudes of chocolate-based biscuits. The sample size involved 216 respondents from South Africa (n = 106) and Switzerland (n = 110). Respondents tasted chocolate-based biscuits and completed an online questionnaire. The increase in consumers’ levels of guilt after chocolate-based biscuit consumption and the contribution of a chocolate taste and craving attitude to consumers’ subsequent positive emotions and change in positive emotions could help food and consumer scientists to understand the link between emotions and the sensory descriptors of chocolate-based biscuits. Investigating the association between the emotional responses and sensory attributes of sweet baked products could benefit product developers when formulating food products for specific target markets and aid in the understanding of the emotional profile of food products.

Objectives: Modern people’s pursuit and consumption of ceramic products are different from those in the past. Therefore, designing new daily ceramic products full of enthusiasm, touching and spiritual enjoyment is our constant pursuit of innovative goals. The design of daily-use ceramics has developed from satisfying the needs of life at first to pursuing the individuality and emotion of products at later stages, showing different cultural connotations and pursuits in each stage of development. Methods: Information objects under meta-model are obtained by extracting the characteristics of project management information and product design information, reflecting the relationship between information entities, while knowledge objects are obtained by associating related information objects. Results: Emotional information products have more understanding of human psychology in the design process, which runs through the whole process of product interaction design. Conclusion: Through theoretical analysis of emotional design and analysis of a series of classic design cases of daily ceramic products, emotional expression forms of daily ceramic product design are summarized, and emotional design products that can bring people better use experience are designed.

Full textAbstract:
Local food production benefits sustainable regional development and should be considered as one the pillars of sustainable regional development strategies. Local food producers share a common heritage because of the cultural and historical ties in their regions, while consumers tend to value food products produced locally. The purpose of this article was to explore market participants’ attitudes toward the impact of local food product attributes on sustainable regional development. The authors’ findings on the main advantages and barriers to consumption of local food products have pointed out the complexity of the relationships between market participants (i.e., producers and consumers) and indicated that a deeper understanding is necessary for overall economic development. The problems of local food products in Serbia, in the context of sustainable regional development, have not been investigated so far, and for this reason, it is important to analyze the differences between consumer and producer attitudes to reduce this perceived gap in the literature. In this way, these insights can offer opportunities for strategic actions in regard to the local food product supply and consumption, with the aim of including different regional stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
Ethical consumption refers to the conscious decision of individuals to purchase or decline to purchase particular goods, in which their choice is guided by certain values rather than financial considerations. In this case, the decision to purchase a product (buycott) or to avoid purchasing a product (boycott) does not depend on price or availability but is instead an expression of moral attitudes, cultural preferences and distinct lifestyle choices. This paper analyses the prevalence of ethical consumption in Serbia, as well as the impact of the following factors on ethical consumption: demographic and socio-economic factors (gender, age, education, place of residence, economic status, occupation and employment status); trust in institutions (national and supranational); level of interest in politics (as well as assessment of ability to influence politics but also assessment of the ?openness? of the political system to citizen participation); political activism and political orientation and values. The analysis is based on the data of the European Social Survey (ESS) conducted in 2018.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test Luna and Gupta’s (2001) investigative framework on the interaction of cultural values and consumer behaviour by conducting a cross-cultural comparison of young wine consumers’ interpretation of images of champagne and sparkling wine. The research examined consumer responses to the images through the prism of the relationship between symbolism, ritual and myth, as well as other related values. Design/methodology/approach – In a series of focus groups with consumers from four anglophone countries (the USA, New Zealand, Australia and the UK), six images of champagne and sparkling wine were used as stimuli to encourage affective and cognitive perspectives on the topic. Findings – Overall, the UK market showed distinct differences from the other markets, due very much to its cultural context. The UK consumers valued traditional advertising; focused mainly on the product itself; and did not associate champagne with fun. Respondents from the New World focused on the general impression of the image and on enjoyment and fun associated with consumption of champagne and sparkling wine. Practical implications – The most crucial implication of this research is the cultural variation in consumer perceptions of champagne and sparkling wine and the impact that it has upon marketing strategies on how to market this product category to younger consumers in different markets. Originality/value – This research contributes to the study of cultural values and consumption behaviour, as well as image effectiveness in forming perceptions of the product category.

This study aims to determine carbon emissions in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-6 (ASEAN-6) in achieving Sustainable Development Goals using the Kuznet environmental curve analysis approach. Used panel data regression method with carbon emissions as a dependent variable and Gross Domestic Product per capita, Squared Gross Domestic Product per capita, population, energy consumption and Sustainable Development Goals as independent variables. Used panel data from 2009-2018, samples taken from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam. Results are the suitable random effect model, with per capita Gross Domestic Product and energy consumption having a positive and significant effect on carbon emissions. In contrast, the squared Gross Domestic Product Per capita, population and Sustainable Development Goals have a negative and significant impact on carbon emissions. The Environmental Kuznet curve hypothesis has been proven in this area, although only Singapore has reached a turning point, so ASEAN-6 will still experience in carbon emissions increase. For this reason, ASEAN-6 needs to implement sustainable development policies, family planning, environmentally friendly energy development, and coordination and seriousness in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.

As one of the potential worldwide exports and imports, coffee’s economic and culinary values are undoubtedly outstanding. In Indonesia, the agricultural product has been increasingly prevalent and commercial. Research shows domestic coffee consumption reached 4.8 million bags of coffee beans in 2018-2019. As it continues to become more industrialized, it is also a part of nowadays’ popular culture. However, cultural perspectives to coffee production and consumption are rarely research topic priorities. Putting the perspectives as the theoretical basis, the research aims to examine, elaborate, and inventory the manifestations of local wisdom as a cultural practice behind the coffee industries in Wonosobo. The data was taken by making field observations, conducting interviews with relevant interviewees, and reviewing related literature. The result of the research reaffirms that local wisdom as a cultural practice is reflected in the process of coffee production and consumption. It takes the form of several manifestations of culture, namely symbols, rituals, and values

Michel Houellebecq has a reputation as a heavy drinker and many of his protagonists mirror this tendency. This article focuses specifically on wine, asking whether the consumption of wine, both in his writing and in representations of his life, constitutes a simple cultural transgression, mainly via the quantities imbibed, or whether in fact wine is used as a complex literary device, a symbolic marker of national identity, social status and interpersonal relations. Tracing the presence and analysing the significance of wine in Houellebecq’s seven novels published to date reveals new ways to decode and interpret the author’s work through the prism of this product and its rich semantic field.

Full textAbstract:
In consideration are the essence characteristics of a theatrical feature as a product of film industry. The focus of attention is a contradiction between the psychic-cultural use value of film-industry products and the commodity form of their production and consumption. As the object of spectatorship needs, the product of film industry distinguishes itself in the capacity of a story narrated in the language of cinema, interestingly to the targeted movie-goer. Spectatorship needs are emotional, intellectual and other psychic impetuses of the individual, requiring satisfaction through ones immersion in the image world of cinema. A difference is drawn between the spectators needs toward cinema and those of society as a whole. The film production aimed at a profitable satisfaction of individual needs is incapable of explicating and meeting certain societal needs. Psychological mechanisms of immersing spectators in a film world are the processes of empathy and identification, regression and projection, imparting cinema with some sort of magic. The modern film industry has grown on the soil of commodity film production to which some essential demerits are endemic. Picture of the world created by it is a function of the films commodity form, thus rendering the picture mongrel in many respects. The magnitude of the box office, functioning as a code for establishing and maintaining interaction between the societys cultural highs and lows, entails certain dysfunctional consequences. In the modern conditions of globalization the national commodity-film production is forced to adapt to the demands of Americanized mass audience. With the irreversibility of an objective law, there crops up a certain loss of the national productions own face. In this regard, consideration is given to the issues of authentically expressing and reproducing the nations identity by the means of cinema.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the development of Chola Paceña fashions in La Paz, Bolivia. It traces the social and political lineage of the distinctive pollera dress, and its role in traditions that continue to underpin Aymaran social networks and economies, while it is simultaneously becoming a symbol of their consumer power. Bolivian gross domestic product (GDP) has tripled since 2006, and this wealth has accumulated in the vast urban informal markets which are dominated by people of indigenous and mestizo descent. It is predictable that such a rise in consumption power should enable a burgeoning fashion industry. However, the femininities represented by the designs, the models and the designers place in sharp relief gendered and racialized constructions of value, and how the relationship between tradition, culture and economy has been configured in scholarly work on creative labour, which has been predominantly based on the experience of post-industrial cities in the global North.

In contemporary society, our younger generation is in a critical period of awareness of the core socialist values, the awakening of positive energy, and the red culture is also in a new stage of development, which has enriched people's ideals and beliefs to a great extent. In order to realize our social ideals, we are united as one. Times are moving forward, but red culture has not withdrawn from our lives, but has been widely used, such as the movie Wolf Warrior, Operation Red Sea, etc., all of which have proved to us the success of red culture with successful examples. As a student in the field of design. It is hoped that the red culture can also be equally brilliant in the packaging design of products. In the current market products, there are only a handful of successful cases in the design of red cultural packaging. In the process of product packaging design, we discussed how to rationally innovate the red cultural elements from concept to extraction to implementation to application, and enhance the market value of the entire product through packaging. Through the extraction and application of red cultural elements, a unique brand positioning can be established, consumers' consumption psychology can be grasped, and market demands can be well understood, and finally the development of red cultural economy will be promoted.
