Drawing from a large sample of consumer survey in five major cities of China, this empirical study examines different underlying mechanisms of cultural identity and consumer ethnocentrism constructs. Furthermore, it investigates their different impacts on consumer preferences and buying behavior...

In offering fresh insights on the country-of-origin effect literature, this article provides evidence to suggest that cognitive country image (CI) is not necessarily consistent with affective country image. Based on a large scale consumer survey conducted in China, the findings reported provide...

This empirical study contributes to the extant literature by investigating the relations among market orientation, managerial ties and innovation simultaneously and interactively, from an Asian perspective. Our findings reveal that customer orientation and interfunctional coordination have a...

In light of the uniqueness associated with collective cultures of China and emerging economy markets, this study contributes to the extant literature by examining the moderating role of national culture on the relationship between satisfaction, trust and legal contract and their respective...

This study integrates international joint venture (IJV) literature on ownership, trust, and legalism and examines their effects as enforcement mechanisms on IJV satisfaction. The hypotheses are tested across three samples of managers - Chinese, Western, and Asian - in China-based IJVs. Results...

We show that when investors review their consumption and investment plans infrequently at different points in time with interim information flows, the standard consumption-based capital asset pricing model (CCAPM) will continue to hold only at those points in time when all investors review their...

Water has traditionally been considered a physically scarce resource in Northwestern China, and most investigations of water scarcity focus on the finite nature of water supplies. Based on the input–output analysis, this paper establishes a number of indicators of water consumption to analyze...

In this paper, a novel projection-based depth based on the Rayleigh quotient, Rayleigh projection depth (RPD), is proposed. Although, the traditional projection depth (PD) has many good properties, it is indeed not practical due to its difficult computation, especially for the high-dimensional...

In this paper, a new trust region method for the system of nonlinear equations is presented in which the determining of the trust region radius incorporates the information of its natural residual. The global convergence is obtained under mild conditions. Unlike traditional trust region method,...
