This study uses the subscales of Consideration of Future Consequences (CFC) to explore the effects of future (CFC-future) and immediate (CFC-immediate) on convenience food consumption among teenagers in Vietnam. Furthermore, we investigate the mediating and dual role of hedonic and healthy eating values in the relationships between CFCs and convenience food consumption. Survey data from 451 ...

Research has identified an extensive potential for energy efficiency within the manufacturing sector, which is responsible for a substantial share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study is to enhance the knowledge of vital drivers for energy efficiency in this sector by providing a critical and systematic review of the empirical literature on drivers to ...

Denne oppgaven omhandler problemstillingen «I hvilken grad har en persons erotiske kapital betydning for ungdommers forventning til hans eller hennes lønnsnivå og posisjon i arbeidslivet?» <br>Vi har operasjonalisert begrepet erotisk kapital som fysisk attraktivitet slik at vi har kunnet sammenlikne våre resultater med flere tidligere publiserte undersøkelser. Disse studiene har særlig blitt utført ...

Several researchers emphasize the importance of consumer self-confidence in the production of word of mouth (WOM). However, most focus has been on consumer self-confidence as a positive WOM predictor, and a possible negative relationship between consumer self-confidence and WOM remains largely unexplained. Here, we aimed to elucidate the possibility of both a positive and a negative effect of ...

The dynamics from nonlinear discrete age-structured population models is under consideration. Focus is on bifurcations, as well as nonstationary and chaotic dynamics. We also explore different mechanisms which may lead to periodic phenomena. Some new results are also presented, in particular from models where both fecundity and survival terms contain nonlinear elements.

This study examines the underlying dimensions of co-creation of an experience in the context of tourism and its effects on behavioral consequences such as tourists’ satisfaction with the co-creation of an experience, subjective well-being, and loyalty to the service provider. The purpose of the study is achieved by showing that that tourists’ co-creation of an experience positively affects the ...

En kyndig fagutøver i økonomisk/administrative fag må evne å se sammenhenger og helhet mellom eget og andres fagfelt. Studieplanene er bygd opp for å ivareta bedriftsøkonomiske fag, samfunnsøkonomi, administrasjonsfag og metodefag. Det kan imidlertid synes som om spesialisering får større fokus i utdanningen, og at det i stor grad overlates til studenten å utvikle en helhetsforståelse for det ...

Manufacturing firms’ ability to innovate and improve their energy efficiency (EE) is a key element in reducing emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and attain international objectives of climate change mitigation. Despite an urgent need for more knowledge drivers for EE in manufacturing firms, there is still little research on the topic. Taking departure in the EE and environmental innovation literature ...

Denne utredningen kartlegger hva en separasjon mellom eierne og ledelsen av et selskap innebærer, samt ulike verktøy som egner seg for å handtere separasjonens følger. Temaet separasjon mellom eierskap og ledelse har vært aktuelt siden den gang aksjeselskap ble en vanlig etableringsform, men med økt aktualitet det siste tiåret. Den viktigste teorien en kjenner til for å forklare fenomenet er prinsipal- ...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relative importance of dimensions of experience value in four different hedonic- and utilitarian-dominated services. The proposed hypotheses are tested by an experimental design. Altogether, four different service experiences, taking place during a tourist weekend trip, were studied using a scenario-based approach. In total, 938 members of a nationally ...
