Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the evolution of revenue management (RM) research’s intellectual structure in hospitality and tourism in an effort to initiate a creative discourse for RM scholars. Design/methodology/approach Co-citation analysis was used to examine the reference list of 343 articles over a 35-year period (1983-2018). Co-citation analysis focused on subject clustering and source knowledge evolution. Five periods were created to investigate the evolution of the RM field in the hospitality and tourism industry. The paradigm shift approach was adopted to acquire a better understanding of scientific evolution. Findings Findings indicated that from a Kuhnian perspective, RM research in hospitality and tourism did not go beyond the normal science phase. There is no current indication of anomalies in the form of conflict or questioning of the existing paradigms in RM research in hospitality and tourism. This might change, as the research in this realm develops further and evolves. Research limitations/implications This study identified issues related to research themes that have the potential of moving RM research in hospitality and tourism to the next level, enabling the paradigm shift in this discipline. Originality/value This study is instrumental in its outlook on the evolution of RM research’s intellectual structure in hospitality and tourism. In addition, it is the first study that considers the concept of paradigm shift in RM research context in hospitality and tourism.

Purpose This paper aims to purposely place community and its stakeholders at the forefront of an investigation of positive and negative social, economic and environmental impacts of the sharing economy in the specific context of Airbnb by drawing upon the triple bottom line (TBL) framework of sustainability. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative enquiry through a “scoping approach” with the search of relevant electronic databases identified a range of conceptual and empirical studies in the period from 2008 to 2018 informing a profile focussed on the triple bottom line impacts. Findings The criteria limited search yielded 23 focal articles, which investigated or discussed Airbnb impacts on local communities. Analysis of these articles informed a three-pillar tabulation of positive and negative impacts, which are presented against four key stakeholder groupings. Research limitations/implications The study is exploratory, and further research, especially confirmatory research, is recommended. Practical implications The study’s value extends to praxis. Guided by findings, real-time planning and policy-making are already underway within the authors’ community. Additionally, an extension project, as requested by the community, is now investigating direct traditional accommodation provider impacts. Social implications Understanding of the social issues concerning Airbnb and indeed, the wider sharing economy, is broadened through identified need for further social impact research. Originality/value To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first studies to apply a “scoping approach” to holistically illuminate the positive and negative impacts of Airbnb at the micro-level in each of the three domains of sustainability. The research methodology is shown to be effective, with positive community impact, and will easily adapt to other destinations grappling with policy decisions.

PurposeThe authors evaluate the evolution of the intellectual structure of strategic management (SM) by employing a document co-citation analysis through a network analysis for academic citations in articles published in the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ).Design/methodology/approachThe authors employed the co-citation analysis through the social network analysis.FindingsThe authors outlined the evolution of the academic foundations of the structure and emphasized several domains. The economic foundation of SM research with macro and micro perspectives has generated a solid knowledge stock in the literature. Industrial organization (IO) psychology has also been another dominant foundation. Its robust development and extension in the literature have focused on cognitive issues in actors' behaviors as a behavioral foundation of SM. Methodological issues in SM research have become dominant between 2004 and 2011, but their influence has been inconsistent. The authors concluded by recommending future directions to increase maturity in the SM research domain.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to elucidate the intellectual structure of SM by adopting the co-citation analysis through the social network analysis.

PurposeQuantitative bibliometric approaches were used to statistically and objectively explore patterns in the sharing economy literature.Design/methodology/approachJournal (co-)citation analysis, author (co-)citation analysis, institution citation and co-operation analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, document (co-)citation analysis and burst detection analysis were conducted based on a bibliometric data set relating to sharing economy publications.FindingsSharing economy research is multi- and interdisciplinary. Journals focused upon products liability, organizing framework, profile characteristics, diverse economies, consumption system and everyday life themes. Authors focused upon profile characteristics, sharing economy organization, social connections, first principle and diverse economy themes. No institution dominated the research field. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identified organizing framework, tourism industry, consumer behavior, food waste, generous exchange and quality cue as research themes. Document co-citation analysis found research themes relating to the tourism industry, exploring public acceptability, agri-food system, commercial orientation, products liability and social connection. Most cited authors, institutions and documents are reported.Research limitations/implicationsThe study did not exclusively focus on publications in top-tier journals. Future studies could run analyses relating to top-tier journals alone, and then run analyses relating to less renowned journals alone. To address the potential fuzzy results concern, reviews could focus on business and/or management research alone. Longitudinal reviews conducted over several points in time are warranted. Future reviews could combine qualitative and quantitative approaches.Originality/valueWe contribute by analyzing information relating to the population of all sharing economy articles. In addition, we contribute by employing several quantitative bibliometric approaches that enable the identification of trends relating to the themes and patterns in the growing literature.

PurposeDespite the recognition that citizens' perceptions of mega sport events' social impact is critical for the sustainable development of these events and host cities, most previous studies have not taken into consideration how these perceptions may change over time. This study examines citizens' social impact perceptions of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games before and after the event.Design/methodology/approachData were collected amongst local residents of Rio de Janeiro pre- and post-event (n = 256). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) analysed the psychometric properties of the proposed social impact constructs. Subsequently, a multigroup analysis and latent mean comparisons were conducted to test social impact perceptions pre- and post-event.FindingsThe multigroup CFA showed factorial stability of the social impact model in both periods, while the latent mean comparisons revealed significant differences in the dimensions of social experiences, city image and community pride enhancement, public infrastructures and social conflicts. Results indicated that the perception of positive impacts tends to increase, while perceived negative impacts decrease from pre- to post-event.Social implicationsThe social effects of hosting sport mega events result in a short-term change in attitudes towards the local community, leading to a better comprehension on how communities perceive the event's impact on their lives.Originality/valueIn a highly complex mega event such as the Olympic Games, any change may influence residents' perceptions. The findings of this study demonstrate the importance of residents for determining support or opposition in hosting the event, allowing a better understanding of the exchange effects.

Penelitian ini dilakukan di Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil Kabupaten Mamasa yang dilaksanakan pada bulan April-Mei 2020. Pendekatan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan deskriptif kualitatif berdasarkan fenomenologi yang terjadi. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan studi kepustakaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) Untuk mengetahui mekanisme perkawinan adat Mamasa untuk anak lahir diluar nikah; (2) Untuk mengetahui peran adat Mamasa dalam pembuatan akta lahir bagi anak diluar nikah; dan (3) Untuk mengetahui dampak social yang ditimbulkan dari perkawinan anak diluar nikah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Mekanisme perkawinan adat Mamasa untuk anak diluar nikah dilakukan melalui sebuah ritual adat sebagai suatu tradisi adat yang dalam istilah masyarakat adat Mamasa disebut dengan istilah dipa’arrangi tangngana langi yang berarti diangkat kembali martabatnya. Pihak keluarga ayah anak diluar nikah tersebut mendatangi pihak keluarga ibu dari anak tersebut untuk memberikan pengakuan bahwa anak tersebut memiliki ayah biologis yang siap bertanggungjawab layaknya sebagai seorang ayah; (2) Peran adat Mamasa dalam pembuatan akta lahir anak diluar nikah selama ini belum dilakukan sebagai mana semestinya yang diatur di dalam Perda Nomor 5 Tahun 2017. Pembuatan akta lahir anak diluar nikah di Dukcapil Mamasa murni merupakan kebijakan dari Dukcapil dimana surat keterangan yang bertanda didalamnya bukan Lembaga Adat sebagaimana seharusnya: dan (3) Dampak sosial perkawinan adat Mamasa terhadap anak diluar nikah adalah memberikan pengakuan kepada kedudukan seorang anak dalam keluarga dan lingkungan sosialnya. Selain itu pihak keluarga perempuan sebagai korban juga diangkat kembali martabatnya. Namun ada dampak negatif dengan adanya perkawinan adat dimana dapat menjadi preseden buruk bagi lingkungan masyarakat adat. Hal ini disebabkan para pelaku tidak diberi sanksi adat yang dapat memberi efek jerah. This research was conducted at the Population and Civil Registry Office of Mamasa Regency which was conducted in April-May 2020. The approach in this study was a qualitative descriptive based on the phenomenology that occurred. The data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and literature study. The objectives of this study are: (1) To find out the relationship between mamasa traditional marriage and children born out of wedlock; (2) To understand the role of Mamasa culture in making birth certificates for children born out of wedlock; and (3) To find out the social impacts arising from the marriage of children born out of wedlock. The results of the study show that: (1) The mechanism of Mamasa traditional marriage for children born out of wedlock is carried out through traditional rituals as a tradition, which in terms of Mamasa indigenous people is called ‘dipa’arrangi tangangana langi’ which means ‘reappointed in dignity’. The family of the father of the child born out of wedlock goes to the family of the mother of this child to acknowledge that the child has a biological father who is ready to take responsibility as a father; (2) The role of Mamasa tradition in making birth certificates for children born out of wedlock so far has not been carried out as the regulation in Perda Number 5 in 2017. The making of birth certificates for children born out of wedlock in Mamasa Dukcapil is not an approved Customary Institution: and (3) the social impact of Mamasa traditional marriage to children born out of wedlock gives recognition of the position of the children in the family and social environment. In addition, the mothers’ families also received back their dignity. However, there are negative impacts of the existence of traditional marriages which can set a bad precedent for the environment of indigenous peoples. This is because the perpetrators are not given customary sanctions which can have a lucrative effect.

The aim of this study is to look at the social impact that the internet has on the teenagers of "Arben Broci" school in Tirana. The study looks at the activities that teenagers engage themselves in on the internet, the hours they spend there, and the social influence that these activities have on them. By interviewing 100 people of different ages, some of which were interviewed in the high school, “Arben Broci” in Tirana, we have gathered qualitative and quantitative data through the use of a questionnaire. After the study, we concluded that the internet has both positive as well as negative impacts on socially isolated adolescents. We have seen that adolescents engage themselves in online chats through which they exchange data and information with people they do not know. This puts them at risk. In majority of the cases, they meet people whom they do not know their motives. The risk of child exposure to pornography and exploitation has increased along with the rise in internet use. The global nature of the internet also increases the child’s risk of meeting a predator. According to Wolfe & Higgings (2008), more attention has been given to online solicitation of sex from children. The positive social impact of the internet is that it creates an environment where teens can seek information needed for educational purposes. The study concludes that parents, teachers, and the government must be aware of the social impact of the internet on the lives of adolescents. Therefore, they must work together to minimize the harmful impacts of the internet on socially isolated students.
