Our research aimed at exploring the attractiveness of the mountain product label for consumers, considering both attitude towards the label itself and purchase intentions. We propose a model to investigate relationships between four latent constructs-mountain attractiveness, mountain food attractiveness, attitude towards the mountain product label, and purchase intention-which have been tested, thus confirming the statistical relevance of the relationships. All 47 items selected for describing the latent constructs are suitable for this purpose. Ridge and LASSO results also show that 17 items of the first three constructs are relevant in explaining purchase intentions. Some contextual variables, such as age, income, geographical origin of consumers, and knowledge of mountain products and mountains for tourism purposes, can positively influence consumers’ behavior. These findings could support the design of mountain development strategies, in particular marketing actions for both the product and the territory.展开更多

In this paper, we show that the graphs obtained by duplication of a vertex, duplication of a vertex by an edge or duplication of an edge by a vertex in a crown graph are edge product cordial. Moreover, we show that the graph obtained by duplication of each of the vertices of degree three by an edge in a gear graph is edge product cordial. We also show that the graph obtained by duplication of each of the pendent vertices by a new vertex in a helm graph is edge product cordial.展开更多

The success of such a new product launch relies on transmission of demand information along a supply chain, yet this new phenomenon has been little researched. This paper attempts to address such an issue by modeling vertical information transmission in a supply chain consisting of a retailer and a manufacturer. The retailer would like to introduce a new private label product and knows the demand of the product to be either high or low, while the manufacturer only knows the prior distribution of the demand type. This study attempts to find whether a wholesale-price contract or a two-part tariff contract can facilitate the manufacturer to identify the demand type. The results show that the two-part tariff contract is always effective in realizing information transmission as long as the retailer＇s reserve profit remains within a reasonable range.展开更多
