Abstract

Ces dernières années, les productions cinématographiques n’ont fait qu’accroitre. Il y a de plus en plus de contenu à visionner et de nombreux canaux de distribution ont fait leur apparition. Le cinéma est connu pour être un secteur très puissant offrant du divertissement ainsi que de l’évasion à son audience. En effet, il permet de voyager sans même quitter son habitation. C’est pourquoi il arrive que des téléspectateurs ayant regardé des œuvres cinématographiques se rendent ensuite sur le lieu de tournage afin de mieux visualiser la perception de ce qu’ils ont vécu à l’écran. C’est ce que l’on appelle réaliser du ciné-tourisme.&#13;&#13;En prenant en compte ce contexte économique, cette thèse a pour objectif d’identifier les facteurs de motivation pouvant influencer les touristes wallons à se rendre sur un lieu de tournage cinématographique. Pour y parvenir, cette recherche base ses résultats sur une revue approfondie de la littérature scientifique ainsi que sur l'interview de 24 touristes wallons potentiels et de 2 experts, suivant une approche qualitative exploratoire.&#13;&#13;Les résultats empiriques confirment l’analyse de la littérature en mettant en évidence d'importantes catégories de facteurs de motivation, comme l'attachement à un acteur, un film, une histoire, un lieu, ou les émotions ressenties lors du visionnage. Néanmoins, l'étude sur le terrain ajoute l'importance de pouvoir vivre une expérience immersive à travers des attractions telles que la visite de studios ou de parcs à thèmes. Le but étant pour eux de découvrir les coulisses d’un film ou d’une série et d’en apprendre davantage sur l’aspect technique que représente la création d’une œuvre cinématographique. De plus, de nouveaux facteurs de motivation externes tels que la notoriété croissante des plateformes de streaming, ou le contexte de la crise sanitaire liée au Covid-19, jouent désormais un rôle important dans la prise de décision d’un consommateur à voyager dans un endroit cinématographique.

Abstract

"This book integrates new thinking on the image, marketing, and branding of places at all levels, from town squares to cities and countries, and of the products and peoples associated with them, thereby bridging the 'country' and 'place' silos in place-related research and practice. Insightful contributions from top scholars reflect fresh theorizing and provide a critical appraisal of conventional wisdom by juxtaposing intriguing contexts, questioning commonplace practices, and challenging methodologies and theoretical assumptions. Chapters explore interdependencies among residents, visitors, brand managers, and consumers; image effects of place and social identity, cross-border acquisitions, popular culture exports, and sporting mega-events; country-of-origin research, cross-cultural consumer behaviour, international marketing, destination branding, and brand modelling; and cutting-edge methodological approaches and managerial best practices in place marketing. The book's interdisciplinary know-how and approach makes it an invaluable and comprehensive reference for researchers, managers, consultants, and students alike, in areas from marketing, place management, international business, and tourism to communications, social psychology, urban geography, and regional economics."--

Abstract

The predictions of different classic migration theories are tested by using incentivized laboratory experiments to investigate how potential migrants decide between working in different destinations. First, the authors test theories of income maximization, migrant skill-selection, and multi-destination choice as they vary migration costs, liquidity constraints, risk, social benefits, and incomplete information. The standard income maximization model of migration with selection on observed and unobserved skills leads to a much higher migration rate and more negative skill-selection than is obtained when migration decisions take place under more realistic assumptions. Second, these lab experiments are used to investigate whether the independence of irrelevant alternatives assumption holds. The results show that it holds for most people when decisions just involve wages, costs, and liquidity constraints. However, once the risk of unemployment and incomplete information is added, independence of irrelevant alternatives no longer holds for about 20 percent of the sample.

Abstract

"This book explores how gender equality, a central part of the Nordic imaginary, is used in the political communication of Nordic states. The analyses presented move beyond conventional images and discourses of Nordic gender- and women-friendliness by critically investigating how and to what extent gender equality serves nation-branding in the Nordic region. Nation-branding is an unescapable part of globalisation, which is a market-oriented process dominated by the West and predicated on the creation of winners and losers. Hence, efforts to strengthen the national brand or reputation of specific Nordic countries with the aid of gender equality as a political and symbolic value inevitably help to reinforce already established global hierarchies where the Nordics play the role of moral superpower. This book comprises scholars from various fields of specialisation, and provides evidence and understanding for the growing interaction between gender-equality policies and nation-branding in all five Nordic countries. It does so by exploring a variety of policy fields and issues including women's rights, foreign policy, rape and legislation, female quotas and business policies, in addition to the index industry. The rise of the global indexes has reproduced forceful images of the Nordic countries as frontrunners of gender equality, which indeed help the Nordic countries to further position themselves as 'best at being good'. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Nordic gender equality in political science, sociology, law, criminology, political psychology and history, as well as those interested in nation branding, Nordic studies and exceptionalism"--

Abstract

This Special Issue addresses relations between tourism activities, smart specialization strategies, and sustainable development at different territorial levels, including the local, regional, national, and international. Framed by appropriate conceptual frameworks to define the contemporary dynamics of innovation in tourism, case studies supported by advanced quantitative methods and developed in rural and urban areas of Asia, Europe, and Africa are presented and discussed. The concept of smart specialization inspires the formulation of regional innovation policies and strategies, emphasizing the importance of endogenous resources and existing territorial capabilities. By exploring the diversity and variety of each economy to develop inter-sectoral relations, this approach aims at promoting the creation of spillover effects of innovation processes supported by adequate key enabling technologies, potentially leading to the sustainable development of places, regions, and countries. As an activity that mobilizes contributions from different economic sectors, tourism may play a central role in such strategies. As described and discussed in this Special Issue, aspects related to the creative sectors of economies, information and communication technologies, traditional products and lifestyles, food production, or diverse cultural values can be mobilized to generate innovative and sustainable solutions for tourism development.
