Tourism seasonality negatively affects hotels’ operational and financial performance and then survival probabilities. Several studies have evaluated the impact of tourism seasonality on hotels’ exit risk. However, the empirical findings are ambiguous, probably due to the overall seasonality and different measures used in these studies. Against this background, this study explores the impact of tourism seasonality on hotel firms’ exit risk, using a proportional hazards model. We controlled for financial ratios, the main factors influencing the exit risk, and used two measures of tourism seasonality by market segment, namely, leisure, business, and conference tourism. The case study is the Norwegian hotel industry. The empirical results suggest that the different seasonal patterns of tourism demand in the market segments mitigate the impact of the overall seasonality on hotels’ exit risk, and that seasonality measures of various tourism segments affect the exit risk in different ways.

Simulation and data mining can provide managers with decision support tools. However, the heart of data mining is knowledge discovery; as it enables skilled practitioners with the power to discover relevant objects and the relationships that exist between these objects, while simulation provides a vehicle to represent those objects and their relationships. In this chapter, the authors will propose an intelligent DSS framework based on data mining and simulation integration. The main output of this framework is the increase of knowledge. Two case studies will be presented, the first one on car market demand simulation. The simulation model was built using neural networks to get the first set of prediction results. Data mining methodology used named ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). The second case study will demonstrate how applying data mining and simulation in assuring quality in higher education

This study examines the effects of various types of consumers’ innovativeness on the consumer shopping styles. The results highlight that social, hedonic and cognitive innovativeness have an impact on consumer shopping styles, but functional innovativeness doesn’t influence consumer shopping styles. The study is based on sample of university students from Rawalpindi and Islamabad and its outcomes pave grounds for marketers to develop a better understanding for marketing new products and services. New product and services can be designed to magnetize innovative consumers. Integrated marketing communications should be planned according to the shopping styles of innovative consumers. Youngsters being a sizeable market segment in Pakistan, therefore, this study will guide the marketers to understand this segment better. This study discovers the association between different kinds of innovative consumer and consumer shopping styles.

This research targeted at determining type and nature of innovation associated to the curbing strategies of the business model at Casa Valduga, a traditional Brazilian wine producer that has stimulating that house to exceed in product quality, expanding its domestic and international market. The research was designed to explore, qualitatively, the phenomenon gathering data through interviews, formal documentation checking and observation. One conclude that the adopted business model originates basically from the company’s corporate strategies, to appropriate resources, capacities and competences, than from a common competitive intended strategy. Corporate strategy is based on fine tuning of the company’s resources with market segment interest. Corporate strategy help adjust capacity to generate superior quality products with the strategic control of value attributes, linked to the image and trademark of the company.

In the age of data generation known as Big Data, where data is produced in enormous amount, managing it has become a big challenge and along with this drawing information from the gathered data is equally important and challenging. Inferring relationships and predicting patterns from theses structured and unstructured data is now an area of research for researchers. And the data mining techniques have evolved as a tool for generating results and deducing conclusions. These mining algorithms find their applicability in almost every domain likewise understanding market segment, fraud detection, trend analysis, healthcare sector, education sector and many more. Looking at the wide range of applicability, in this paper, a brief overview of data mining algorithms is discussed. This discussion comprises of different data mining algorithms, their mathematical modelling, their evaluation methods, and their limitations. To support the fact a case study is conducted on a cardiovascular disease dataset and the measures of these mining techniques are compared.
