Abstract

The London 2012 cultural programme: A consideration of Olympic impacts and legacies for small creative organisations in east London Pappalepore, I. and Duignan, Michael B.

Economic and image impacts of summer Olympic games in tourist destinations: a literature review

“…The Olympic cultural programme failed to benefit the small arts organizations because the program goal was not aligned and communicated to the participating artists (Pappalepore & Duignan, 2015). It is noted that the studies found on the London Olympics, unlike the others, did not raise numbers related to the possible economic development coming from the preparation and accomplishment of the event.…”

From “clone towns” to “slow towns”: examining festival legacies

“…As Chalip's (2004) ELM proposes, developing the features and images of the event and incorporating them into the destination's overall marketing mix is the natural outcome of such strategic convergence. Pappalepore and Duignan (2016) claim that, in the context of wider general event studies, there is a need to explore not only the immediate but also the emerging longer-term 'legacies' of events in local idiosyncratic conditions. The concept of 'event legacy', at both the macro and the local levels, is a much debated implication of events (Preuss, 2007).…”

Essays in event leverage: the strategic use of event leverage in host destinations

“…First, although the events literature focuses heavily on mega-events, there is a dearth of information relating to medium and small events. In addition, while event rights have been indirectly investigated using mega-events (Pappalepore & Duignan, 2016;Raco & Tunney, 2010;Rogerson, 2009;Valle, 2012), albeit quite limited, there is a near absence of academic research focusing on the issues around event rights in relation to major events. This is a remiss as there are many more large events than mega-events.…”

“…While large-scale events are supported by substantial public and private investment, the impact on local taxpaying stakeholders such as residents and local businesses, has been questioned (Pappalepore & Duignan, 2016). As a consequence, many cities seem to be shying away from hosting large-scale events Rundio & Heere, 2016).…”

“…Securing the right to host a large-scale event "is neither easy nor is it risk free" (Andranovich et al, 2001, p. 114). Although large-scale events are often supported by substantial public and private investment, the purported benefits for host communities, including residents and local businesses, have been questioned Matheson, 2009a;Pappalepore & Duignan, 2016;Whitson & Macintosh, 1996). Consequently, many cities are shying away from bidding for the opportunity to host large-scale events (Bennett et al, 2013;McGillivray & Turner, 2018;Rundio & Heere, 2016).…”
