This article proposes a theory of direct and indirect inf luences of the Olympic Games on international tourism behavior and presents test results of the theory using a quasi-experimental research design and visitor exit data (n = 3,875 useable surveys). Key finding: among prior visitors to Australia, the share searching for information nearly doubles (from 30 to 59 per cent) in comparing visitors reporting no change in awareness to substantial increase in awareness of Australia as a vacation destination due to hosting the Olympics. Conclusion: hosting international mega-events may result in substantial increases in activities and expenditures by visitors but such impacts occur through increases in visitors' search for information.

Abstract _____________________________________________________________ At present there are many teaching techniques derived from games which are then applied in the field of teaching, one of which is the Scrambel technique. Through this game the students compete to compile the vocabulary of the letters that have been randomized. This study uses a type of quasi-experimental research. The research design used in this study was "One Groups Pretest-Posttest Design", namely the design of the study that had a pretest before being treated and posttest after being treated. But after using the Scrambel technique in the experimental class, the post test results were different. Based on the results of t-paired calculations obtained data results from t arithmetic = 0.002. Whereas for sig. t paired for N = 13 and degrees of freedom (db) N-1 = 12 is 0.05. That means that the results of t count are smaller than sig. t paired. Based on the results of these data, it can be concluded that the Scrambel technique is proven to improve mastery of Japanese vocabulary in 5th semester students of BSI Akpar Bandung. From these results it can be seen that the Scrambel technique can improve mastery of Japanese vocabulary so that it can be used as an alternative to vocabulary learning.   Abstrak ___________________________________________________________________ Saat ini banyak sekali teknik-teknik mengajar yang berasal dari permainan-permainan yang kemudian diterapkan dalam bidang pengajaran, salah satunya yaitu teknik Scrambel. Melalui permainan ini para mahasiswa berlomba untuk menyusun kosakata dari huruf-huruf yang telah diacak susunannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu. Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah “One Groups Pretest-Posttest Design”, yaitu desain penelitian yang terdapat pretest sebelum diberi perlakuan dan posttest setelah diberi perlakuan. Tetapi setelah menggunakan teknik Scrambel pada kelas eksperimen, hasil post test menjadi berbeda. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan t-paired diperoleh data hasil dari t hitung = 0,002. Sedangkan untuk sig. t paired untuk N = 13 dan derajat kebebasan (db) N-1 = 12 adalah 0,05. Hal itu berarti bahwa hasil dari t hitung lebih kecil daripada sig. t paired. Berdasarkan hasil data tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa teknik Scrambel terbukti dapat meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata bahasa Jepang mahasiswa semester 5 Akpar BSI Bandung. Dari hasil tersebut dapat diketahui bahwa teknik Scrambel dapat meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata bahasa Jepang sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu alternatif pembelajaran kosakata.

This paper contributes to the current literature investigating whether hosting sports mega-events brings tangible economic benefits to the host country. Specifically, we examine whether staging the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cups leads to observable economic growth. The research has been conducted through a quasi-experimental study in the spirit of the difference-in-differences method. The research subject includes states in which the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup were held between 2010 and 2016: Canada, South Africa, Great Britain, and Brazil. We found that there is no significant effect of hosting sports mega-events on economic growth.

World sport often appears as one of the most powerful illustrations of globalization in action. This chapter provides a critical analysis of global sport. Four major areas of research and debate on global sport are examined: political–economic issues, centering particularly on the commercial growth of sport and inequalities between different regions; global sport mega-events such as the Olympic Games or World Cup finals in football; the emergence and institutionalization of the global sport for development and peace; and sociocultural issues, notably the importance of global sport to diverse and shifting forms of identity and belonging. Concluding recommendations are provided on areas for future research into global sport.

The purpose of this research is to analyze how governance is related to sustainability and innovation in mega-events over time by looking at the Olympic Games as a case study. Three main contributions are made to management research and practice. First, Foucauldian governmentality is built upon and enriched with a longitudinal perspective by following the evolution of Visibility, Techne, Episteme, and Identity analytics of governmentality. Second, an innovative methodology based on interviews, a systematic documentary review, and software-assisted thematic auto-coding for a theory-led structured analysis is applied. Third, the theoretical and empirical contribution of this study on the longitudinal aspects of governmentality over different parties and outlets of information could be used to guide practical and strategic decisions for managers and policy makers. In addition to its scholarly importance, this work is needed because mega-events can have a sustainable long-term impact, balancing legacy and innovative change.

Product Search Engines

With the growth of product search engines such as pricegrabber.com, web vendors have many more casual visitors. This research examines how web vendors may foster “swift trust” as a means to convert casual visitors to paying customers. We examine whether perceptions of website’s appearance features (normality, social presence and third-party links) and functionality features (security, privacy, effort expectancy and performance expectancy) positively relate to swift trust in a web vendor. Using a quasi-experimental research design, we empirically test the proposed relationships. Based on an analysis of 224 respondents, we found appearance and functionality features explained 61% of the variance in swift trust. The paper concludes with a discussion of findings and implications.
