“…Such experience may leave them a deeper collective memory about Cantonese opera and result in higher sense of loyalty towards the performing art. This finding is similar to that in other places where the locals tend to favor their traditional music because of their collective memory and identity with it (Brandellero, Janssen et al 2014, Hoeven and Brandellero 2015, Lee and Wong 2017. In line with the study of Wu, Jiang et al (2019) that higher education has a negative impact on the demand of traditional Chinese opera, this study also finds that respondents under 50 years old with tertiary and above education perceive lower identity connection, experiential benefits and appreciation towards craftsmanship of Cantonese opera though they well recognize its cultural significance.…”

“…Similar to other genres of performing arts heritage, it takes time for the craftsmanship of Cantonese opera to be fully appreciated and enjoyed, particularly the foreigners. Previous studies suggest that local people may enjoy their own musical heritage more than foreigners because of their understanding and appreciation towards the craftsmanship of their own musical heritage (Matheson 2008, Bergadaà and Lorey 2015, Lee and Wong 2017. Therefore, audiences' understanding and appreciation of the craftsmanship of Cantonese opera may positively influence their enjoyment of the craft.…”

“…Cantonese community of Macao has contributed much to the development of Cantonese opera and has accommodated many famous Cantonese opera performing groups from Hong Kong and Guangdong Province during the 2 nd World War (Zhang 2010). With the love for Cantonese opera, many pop Cantonese songs under the inspiration of Cantonese opera were created and became a new form of musical heritage among today's Cantonese population (Lee and Wong 2017).…”

“…There are five constructs conceptualized and extracted from the literature for measuring the attributes of performing arts heritage which includes cultural significance, identity connection, leisure experiential benefits, enjoyment, and craftsmanship. The construct of cultural significance covers six variables extracted from the heritage literature of performing arts and adjusted to reflect the cultural characteristics of Cantonese opera (Matheson 2008, Li 2012, Lee and Wong 2017, Io 2018.…”

“…In particular, the study measured the attractiveness of Cantonese opera via a set of experiential attributes and intrinsic artistic components (Io 2019). Similar to tangible cultural heritage, performing arts heritage also provides audiences with a number of experiential benefits, such as cultural, educational, nostalgic, leisure and entertainment experiences (Connell and Gibson 2004, Brandellero, Janssen et al 2014, Lee and Wong 2017. However, these experiential benefits with respect to the intrinsic craftsmanship of performing arts heritage are seldom being understudied, leaving little understanding of the relationship between the intrinsic craftsmanship, audiences' experiences and their enjoyment of the performing arts.…”

This study attempts to empirically investigate Macao residents' perception and enjoyment of their traditional performing arts -Cantonese opera. By examining the relationship between the experiential attributes and intrinsic artistic components of Cantonese opera, this study found that the experiential attributes and intrinsic craftsmanship were significantly correlate and influence on the residents' enjoyment of their traditional performing arts. While the constructs of "identity connection" and "leisure experiential benefits" are found to have significant prediction towards the intrinsic craftsmanship and residents' enjoyment of Cantonese opera, the intrinsic craftsmanship is the strongest latent variable to predict residents' enjoyment. Moreover, the statistical results reveal that Macao residents' consumption experience of Cantonese opera vary with their socio-demographic characteristics, particularly the residents' birthplace and age. This study empirically supports that the experiential attributes associated with tangible cultural heritage can apply to intangible cultural heritage and influence its attractiveness. Some practical and theoretical implications are suggested.

PurposeThe aim of this study is to identify the distinctive features of the diaspora phenomenon through the aggregation and systematization of the business and management literature and propose a framework to apply in the future studies.Design/methodology/approachThe two-step research was based on a combination of bibliometric analysis and a manual in-depth study of academic articles. Overall, 421 academic papers in management and business journals until 2019 year were analyzed.FindingsThe authors provide a new holistic insight on the role of national diasporas for business outcomes via the analysis and systematization of the extant diaspora research. They revealed four definition approaches and five main clusters in the diaspora literature that have three main directions of research as international marketing with the tourism management focus, the IB research and diaspora entrepreneurship studies. The authors cover these main research streams and their contribution to the development of a topic.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed framework including definition approaches and suggestions on the further research can serve as a foundation for future studies to investigate the diaspora phenomenon. The findings also are of practical value for firms whose attention is paid to the effective management.Originality/valueTo bring more clarity to the existing and future development of diaspora research, this paper improves the structuring of the overall diaspora literature through clarification of the existing definitions of diaspora, provision of the criteria qualifying someone to be identified as a member of a diaspora, as well as an analysis and systematization of existing diaspora research streams and suggestions for future research directions.
