This study identifies factors associated with and discriminating among destination adopters, inactives, and rejecters. The setting is the state of New Mexico. The empirical findings are based on a sample of more than 900 out-of-state residents. The approach demonstrates how destination image, destination experience, and demographic character istics combine to influence segment membership. Moreover, the results also indicate that adopters and inactives can be separated by their image of the destination and by demo graphic characteristics. Managerial implications are outlined.
Academic dishonesty in post-secondary education is a widespread, insidious and global problem. Business educators hosting foreign students locally and teaching abroad more than ever need to understand the nuances and attitudes of different student populations and how these differences may manifest themselves in a course. This research contributes to the growing albeit still scanty body of literature demonstrating that significant cross-national differences exist regarding students' attitudes, beliefs and propensities toward cheating. This study compares US and Hong Kong university business students on three areas: cheating behaviors and perceptions, relationships between academic dishonesty and gender, and prediction of academic dishonesty. A total of 443 usable surveys were collected in the USA and 622 in Hong Kong. Statistically significant differences are presented followed by discussion and implications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
