2025-03-23T20:03:11+00:00

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze how tourism movements in the centre and districts of Antalya affect the local people and their feelings and thoughts about tourism. The research population consists of local people born and raised in Antalya and people living there for a long time. The study determined face-to-face interviews with 82 participants by snowball sampling between 01.02.2024 and 01.04.2024. Content analysis and descriptive analysis were applied to the data. Participants' perceptions and support for tourism development were examined through variables such as gender, age, place of birth, education level, life expectancy, profession, and interaction with tourists, and the hypotheses were tested. According to the research findings, 31 participants do not work in a tourism-related job, while 51 participants work in the tourism sector. While 98% of the participants who have relations with tourism stated that they want tourism to develop further in the region, 42% of participants who have no connection with tourism stated that they wish for further tourism development in the area. Local participants in the area have a more antagonistic approach to tourism development and support tourism development less than those who are not local. In addition, in line with the research findings, it was observed that individuals who interact with tourists approach the development of tourism more positively, and their support for tourism development is higher than individuals who do not interact with tourists.

Sports Sponsorship in Brand Advertisement: A Single-factor Between-subjects Experimental Design

2025-03-23T20:05:00+00:00

This study sets out sets out to investigate how the inclusion of sports sponsorship in brand advertisement affects brand attitude. We used a single-factor between-subjects experimental design (sports sponsorship in a brand advertisement: high-congruent vs. low-congruent vs. absent). The findings demonstrated that only a high-congruent sponsorship results in a more positive attitude towards the brand as opposed to the lack of a sports sponsorship in a brand advertisement. Furthermore, it was discovered that there is no distinction in the acquired brand attitudes between a low-congruent and a high-congruent sports sponsorship. In addition, the mediation role of attitude towards the commercial was limited to the favorable attitude towards the brand that results from a congruent sports sponsorship as opposed to the absence of one. The results have significant ramifications for businesses looking to increase brand appeal.

Analysis of the Influence of Company Internal Factors on PBV and Their Impact on Stock Prices

2025-03-23T20:08:51+00:00

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of internal factors, including Liquidity, Solvency/Leverage, Profitability, and Cash Flow, on company value (PBV) and stock prices of state-owned companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2018. Methodology: 19 companies were selected as sample based on specific criteria. A quantitative approach is used to analyze the data through multiple regression analysis. Main findings: Liquidity, Solvency, Profitability, and Cash Flow significantly affect PBV when considered together. However, only CR has a significant individual impact on PBV. These factors significantly influence stock prices. Among these, CR and Cash Flow do not have a significant effect on stock prices, while DER, NPM, and PBV significantly impact stock prices. Implications: Investors should closely monitor liquidity and profitability indicators, as these factors significantly influence stock prices. Companies can improve their stock market performance by enhancing liquidity and profitability, while also considering cash flow management.

Macroeconomic Influences on Exchange Rates, NSE Nifty, and Gold: Evaluating Linear and Quantile Regression Models

2025-03-23T20:11:09+00:00

This study addresses the confusion between Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and Quantile Regression (QR) in analyzing the impact of macroeconomic variables on financial markets, specifically exchange rates, NSE Nifty returns, and gold prices. It also seeks to identify the key economic factors that influence these financial indicators, as the relationship between economic variables and market performance remains complex and multifaceted. To tackle these challenges, the study compares the effectiveness of both OLS and QR in capturing the impact of macroeconomic variables like inflation, interest rates, and foreign reserves on financial markets. The analysis proceeds by utilizing data from January 2019 to December 2023, sourced from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), to assess monthly returns (MOM) of the selected financial indicators. A combination of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression models is employed to explore the relationships between the variables. The study reveals that QR provides more nuanced insights, outperforming OLS by capturing the heterogeneity of effects across different market conditions, while OLS offers a more generalized view. Overall, the findings underscore the advantages of using Quantile Regression to better understand the conditional relationships between macroeconomic variables and financial market outcomes.

Share of Tourism Investments in Fixed Capital Investments: Türkiye during the Planned Development Period

2025-03-23T20:12:05+00:00

This study examines the share of tourism investments in fixed capital investments during planned development periods. The research employed panel data analysis, which is a qualitative research method. The data used in this study were obtained from the key economic indicators, investment, and savings statistics of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Strategy and Budget Office. This study presents the amount of tourism investments made by the private and public sectors over the years and conveys the share of tourism investments in fixed capital investments to the reader. The share of tourism investments, which consistently increased from 1963 to 1989, experienced a decline between 1989 and 1995. However, starting in 1995, the share of tourism investments began to rise again, continuing its upward trend until 2003—except for the 2001 crisis—reaching its highest level of all time. Following a fluctuating pattern until 2010, tourism investment declined sharply after the year, falling below 1% as of 2023. To increase the share of tourism investments within fixed capital investments again, it is recommended to review tourism incentive policies and shift them toward alternative tourism sectors, improve tourism infrastructure investments, particularly in transportation, increase sustainable tourism investments, and develop new marketing and promotional strategies that will enable Türkiye to utilize its tourism potential more efficiently.

Strategic Experiential Marketing: A Conceptual and Module-Oriented Analysis

2025-03-25T10:10:14+00:00

This study explores experiential marketing as a strategic approach that prioritizes customer experiences over traditional product-focused marketing. It examines how businesses foster emotional connections through sensory, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and relational experiences, enhancing brand engagement and loyalty. Using a conceptual analysis, the paper reviews Schmitt’s (1999) five strategic experiential modules and illustrates their real-world applications through brands like Starbucks, Apple, and Coca-Cola. The findings suggest that modern consumers seek meaningful interactions beyond functional benefits, valuing immersive and emotionally engaging brand experiences. Businesses that integrate multi-sensory and personalized interactions create stronger customer bonds and competitive advantages. The study highlights the necessity of fostering brand identity and enhancing loyalty through innovative, experience-driven marketing. As companies adapt to the evolving experience economy, experiential marketing emerges as a critical tool for differentiation and long-term success, reinforcing that consumer relationships are built on emotions and memorable interactions rather than just products or services.

The Impact of Using Break-Even-Point within the Enterprises: Evidence from Vietnam

2025-03-25T10:12:57+00:00

This study studied how breakeven point analysis influences Vietnamese corporate planning, managerial control, and decision-making in fiscal year 2024. Management accounting, especially breakeven point research, has grown internationally, but Vietnamese enterprises have overlooked its potential. The researchers presumed that their major hypothesis—that there was no significant correlation between the breakeven point and the three variables stated earlier—was valid to examine the Vietnamese market's response to its application and increase its sufficient profit up to this point. To get definitive feedback, a Likert scale online questionnaire survey was issued to participants (N=384). Research was evaluated with SPSS. One Sample Testing and Cronbach's alpha confirmed the study's scale's reliability and indicated changes. Research demonstrated a strong correlation. The result highlighted the practical value of breakeven point in boosting business performance in Vietnam and presented a research roadmap.
