Introduction: Many tourism management scholars have noted the importance of testing the extent to which research results generalize across meaningful idiosyncrasies such as psychological and sociological factors. However, marketing strategies aimed at attracting potential new visitors can be...

Purpose – This paper aims to evaluate the relative effectiveness of four‐hour ServSafe ® food safety training, a theory‐based intervention targeting food service employees' perceived barriers to implementing food safety practices, and a combination of the two treatments. Dependent...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the challenges encountered when conducting qualitative research in foodservice operations and to discuss the strategies to overcome the identified challenges. Design/methodology/approach – The researchers conducted food safety observations,...

U-statistics have long been known as a class of nonparametric estimators with good theoretical properties such as unbiasedness and asymptotic normality. However, their applications in modern statistical analysis are limited due to the high computational complexity, especially when massive data...

The objective of the paper is to identify and investigate all possible types of asymptotic behavior for the maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters in the second-order linear stochastic ordinary differential equation driven by Gaussian white noise. The emphasis is on the...
