Quantile Estimates

Tourism expenditures are determined by a set of antecedents that reflect tourists’ willingness and ability to spend, and de facto incremental monetary outlays at which willingness and ability is transformed into total expenditures. Based on the neoclassical theoretical argument of utility-constrained expenditure minimization, we extend the current literature by applying a sustainability-based segmentation criterion, namely, the Legatum Prosperity IndexTM to the decomposition of a total expenditure differential into tourists’ relative willingness to spend and an upper bound of third-degree price discrimination, using mean-level and conditional quantile estimates. Our results indicate that understanding the price–quantity composition of international inbound tourism expenditure differentials assists agents in the tourism industry in their quest for profit maximization.

As a major Green House Gases (GHG) producer, CO2 in particular, the electricity industry’s emissions have turned in to a matter of immense concern in many countries, especially in India. India’s economy and fast economic development has attracts the attention of the world. Emission trading schemes (ETS) and renewable energy support schemes (RESS) are implemented by the various developed countries to alleviate the affect of GHG emissions. In this paper, an optimization based market simulation approach is proposed with the consideration of emission trading schemes and renewable support schemes. To simulate the bidding strategy and for profit maximization, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used. As above problem is a multi-objective optimization problem, Where, in the first level each Genco submit the bid to the independent system operator and in the next level a optimization method is used for the determination of optimal bidding with the implementation of emission trading schemes and renewable support schemes. It is assumed that each generator should submit bid as a price taker’s in sealed auction based on pay-as-bid market clearing price mechanism. The practicability of proposed optimization method is checked by an IEEE-30 bus test system consists of six suppliers.

Critical Questioning

© 2018, The Author(s) 2018. A questioning of the neoliberal consensus in the global economic order is creating turbulence in Western democracies. Long regarded as the only viable capitalist model, neoliberalism is now subjected to increasing scrutiny. Management education that has been aligned to a neoliberal worldview must now respond to this shifting landscape in order to retain its legitimacy. One core element of management education undergoing revision as a result is the case method of teaching. The case method’s traditionally narrow focus on training students to solve business problems is increasingly problematic in an environment where the structure of the capitalist system in which firms operate is now a topic of debate. To address this, we argue for a reconceptualization of the case method’s relationship with theory. This has conventionally taken two forms: a hostility to any inclusion of theory in the analytical process and an approach that uses theory as an instrument for profit maximization. We propose an alternative third approach that encourages students to engage in a critical questioning of business-as-usual capitalism from the perspective of multiple stakeholders, including managers, employees, unions, not-for-profit organizations, government, and the natural environment.

The Impact

Even well designed, defect-free products can fail if they do not fit consumers’ perceptions of high quality or if appropriate follow-up service is unavailable. Poor however is that some products that command high customer favourable perception with high turnover do not always turn out to be profitable. The objective of the study, therefore, is to ascertain the impact of after-sales services on consumers’ perception of quality and corporate turnover and profitability. One hundred and twenty (120) consumer and vendor (manufacturers) respondents from each of the major commercial cities of the five (5) states of South East Nigeria were conveniently selected for study. Data generated from the respondents using a set of questionnaire, were analyzed using statistical tools. The results showed, among others, that after-sales services impact positively on consumers’ perception of quality loyalty, however little on turnover and corporate profitability. Based on the findings of the study, the research concludes that there is still room for growth in after sales services and customer loyalty management as many marketers and product managers, especially in household appliances market, have not fully grasped and made use of the whole potential of after-sales service and the strategic importance of the management of customer loyalty for corporate profitability given the inputs of after sales services. The research thus, recommends, among others, that firms should ensure that customer service is an integral part of the product offering, to be subjected to the same quality standards as the production process, adopt good pricing strategy and monitor customer behaviour for profit maximization among others.
