“…Many sports have developed ancillary commercial activities, including trade shows, continental and world championships, exhibition games, regional tournaments, sports tourism, memorabilia marketing, dedicated sports television channels, organized (legal) betting on games, and various related spectacles (Andreae et al ; Evans and Norcliffe ). Major sports events are broadcast globally by the media, tickets to attend such events command premium prices, and fans and supporter clubs based in distant countries promote sport tourism (Conner ; Higham and Hinch ).…”

Although ice hockey has been characterized as a “people's sport,” since the 1980s neoliberalism has stimulated elite hockey to take on industrial characteristics, driven by: the commodification of sport; a growing scale of hockey performance; the branding of teams and cities; a strategic coupling with media; and the privatization of training and facilities. In British Columbia, elite hockey players are being produced in new regional settings. Formerly, many elite players came from smaller resource‐hinterland towns offering strong local support. With neoliberal commodification of the sport, the Lower Mainland has emerged as the main centre of elite player production in British Columbia. This has occurred very rapidly as costly private training programs located mostly in larger metropolitan areas have become the main source of young players aspiring to elite status. High‐performance training companies and private hockey academies offer costly routes to elite player status, with new class relations that exclude low‐income families. A range of internal and external scale economies lead to these new facilities being concentrated in larger conurbations, particularly in Greater Vancouver.

“…Organizational learning behaviors enable firms to improve and innovate products and services or to renew industry business models. This may take the form of a brilliant technological innovation, or a startling new design (Andreae, Hsu, & Norcliffe, 2013). Commitment to learning is thus one of the important sources of organizational learning capability, as it will affect a firm's innovation output (Lages et al, 2009;Kambiz et al, 2018;Vuković, Gagić, Terzić, & Petrović, 2018).…”

This paper helps to achieve a better understanding of the relationships among organizational behaviors, capabilities and the intangible resources of firms as a micro-level origin of the internationalization of enterprises. The resource-based view, strategic management theory, knowledge absorption and establishment practice, trade show issues and model theory development are integrated and implications offered for both scholars and practitioners. It integrates a research model based on trade show practices, and concentrates on the experimental conditions targeted by the respondents. The mediating roles of enterprises’ intangible resources are also discussed. Based on a sample of trade development groups, 256 completed questionnaires were used to examine the hypotheses. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation models. The findings show that relationship building positively influences relationship performance. The relationship performance has a significant mediating role on the effects of information sharing on international performance. Moreover, commitment to learning and high absorptive capacity of a firm determines the innovation performance of firms and contributes to their international performance.

“…Furthermore, in creative cities, talents are the basic drivers of growth that can be designated as the 'creative class' [62]. In spite of emphasizing the harvest and behaviors of firms as exhibitors [18,33,63], previous research also noted the exhibition effects on individuals like visitors. Apart from purchasing behaviors (or potential purchasing behaviors), visitors at exhibitions also perform ongoing searching, which is concerned more with information than with purchase.…”

Do Temporary Creative Clusters Promote Innovation in an Emerging Economy?—A Case Study of the Beijing Design Week

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Extant research indicates that temporary clusters, such as trade fairs and exhibitions, play a significant role in knowledge dissemination and innovation by creating global buzz, so they are beneficial to building global pipelines. However, these findings are mainly based on the experiences in the manufacturing sectors of developed countries. This paper, however, chooses Beijing as a case to examine whether or not international exhibitions in creative industries contribute to innovation in emerging economies. Based on questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews conducted in 2015-2016, this paper uses a structural equation model (SEM), with three latent variables related to global buzz, global pipelines, and information acquisition, to identify the internal patterns of exhibition innovation. The results indicate that there exists innovation generated from temporary clusters in knowledge-intensive sectors as well as emerging economies. Global buzz and global pipelines construct a favorable interaction ecology. However, global buzz plays a greater role than global pipelines. This insight should help organizers improve creative exhibitions in terms of innovation and provide a deeper understanding of the relationships between innovation, global buzz, and global pipelines in temporary clusters.
