Thesis Title

A Model of Transformative Destination Image

Supervisors

  • Associate Professor Amanda Tracy Beatson  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Associate Professor Steven Pike  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

Travel’s power to transform individuals originates from both destinations and experiences, and yet, destinations remain unexamined within transformative tourism research. Using destination image as its theoretical scope, this thesis proposes the idea of ‘transformative destinations’ highlighting the importance of personal values and affect-based strategies to encourage positive behavioural intentions within this context. For this, a mixed methods approach was taken in which the first study used the Repertory Test with Laddering Analysis while the second study was a survey.

Thesis Title

The Social Construction of Spaces of Spas and the Identity of the Masseuse in Sri Lanka

Supervisors

  • Associate Professor Deanna Chantal Cristina Grant-Smith  (Principal Supervisor)
  • Professor Robyn Petra Mayes  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

Informed by the theoretical notion of space as socially produced, this thesis explores the intersection of the social construction of the organisational space of the spa and theidentity of the masseuse in the geographic context of Sri Lanka. By employing qualitative in-depth interviews and a narrative approach to analysis, the thesis foregrounds thelived and embodied experiences of women of working as masseuses, in a socio-political context where masseuses’ work within spas is stigmatised due to the conflation of spawork with sex work. In doing so, the thesis contributes to organisational studies and feminist geographic research scholarship.

Thesis Title

Do Your Eyes Give You Away: Consumers Reactance and Privacy Concerns to Biometrically Determining the Price for Goods and Services

Supervisors

  • Professor Brett Andrew Scott Martin  (Principal Supervisor)
  • Dr Sven Tuzovic  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Dr Shasha Wang  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis defines and gives examples of biometrics, explains how biometric tracking is currently used (e.g., to predict IQ), and presents innovative future uses of biometrictracking (e.g., to customize the price of products in real time). Specifically, this paper outlines a novel biometric pricing technology (BPT) which uses facial tracking to set theprice of products using a new participatory dynamic pricing (vs. static pricing) system. Different domain-specific forms of self-efficacy and different forms of Privacy (7 differentforms measured) are shown to mediate these relationships.

Thesis Title

The Effect of Spokes-Character Copycatting on Consumers' Brand Evaluations

Supervisors

  • Dr Edwina Merilyn Luck  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Dr Di Wang  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

Copycatting (i.e., imitating visual traits) a famous spokes-character (e.g., Tony the Tiger) on a product package is a common marketing tactic. However, whether, when, andhow such spokes-character copycatting influences consumers’ reactions are unknown. Through experiments, this research first revealed the impact of spokes-charactercopycatting on consumers’ brand evaluation, the underlying mechanism of how the impact is driven, and the consumer group the impact is underlined. The overall resultsemphasise the robustness of the effect of spokes-character copycatting. The effect holds when other packaging designs (e.g., colour) change and when the product category inwhich the copycat situates varies.

Thesis Title

Digital Platforms by Incumbents: Characteristics and Failure Factors

Supervisors

  • Professor Kevin Clyde Desouza  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Professor Marek Kowalkiewicz  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Professor Michael Rosemann  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis investigates the adoption of digital platforms by incumbent firms and the reasons why they might fail. It starts with a review of how platforms are evolving due todigitization and why that matters to incumbents. Based on data from leading car manufacturers, the study derives characteristics of platform business models adopted byincumbents and explains how these characteristics relate to failures. A Delphi study with experts in the automotive industry is presented to further explain factors leading tofailure. As result, the thesis introduces an integrative model on failures in digital platforms by incumbents, their causes and consequences.

Supervisors

  • Professor Rowena Joy Barrett  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Professor Kevin Clyde Desouza  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis explores the affordances of artificial intelligence (AI) for the public sector.

The perception of AI affordance is investigated in the first two studies. The third study designed and evaluated artefact for public agencies to actualize AI affordance.
