Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of ensuring the measure equivalence of marketing concepts in cross-cultural research. It is crucial to give attention to measure equivalence in cross cultural research because it makes it possible for meaningful comparisons to be drawn between and among cultures. Specifically, the present paper focuses on a procedure of testing for the measure equivalence of the concept of conflict resolution strategies using multiple group confirmatory factor analysis. The results provide evidence of partial measure equivalence, which suggests that the concept of conflict resolution strategies is measured or perceived in the same way across the three ethnic groups investigated.

Abstract:

Market effeciency is an area enormous interest in the financial literature. Numerous researches conducted imperical in testing weak-form market effeciency in several stock markets and employed various techniques but the empirical evidence in controversial. Triangulation econometric approach is employed to assess the predictability of daily return series of the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) and to test the null hyphothesis of random walk model. The empirical results reject the null hypothesis of random walk model for the daily return series of BSE for the period of 1989-2005 and evidenced serial autocorrelation of return series, which clearly indicate predictability and volatility of security prices of Botswana market. However the empirical evidence of both non-parametric and parametric test reject the hypothesis of random walk model and indeed violate the notion of weak-form market efficiency.

Tourism market potential analysis in Botswana: A Delphi study

Kaynak, E.; Marandu, E.E. (SAGE http://jtr.sagepub.com/, November NaN, 2006)

Abstract:

This article explores what would be the most probable scenario for the tourism industry in Botswana by the year 2020. A modified Delphi technique was used to generate data from 68 industry experts. The findings show that experts forecast progressively more changes and higher impact as one moves from values, structures, and events. The implication for policy makers and industry operators is that efforts aimed at increasing tourism may prove more fruitful if focused on changing structures and hosting events, rather than changing the values of the people. The study also improves on the understanding of Delphi forecasting behavior. It demonstrates that an expert who is optimistic on one factor—say, values—is likely to perceive the same with regard to other factors such as structure and events.
