“…Moreover, it was found that the perceptions of authenticity might also be affected by personal traits, trip traits and previous experience of the tourist (Chhabra et al, 2003;Littrell, Anderson, & Brown, 1993), as well as the attributes of the commercial homes that provide perceived cues (Cohen, 1988;Wang, N., 2007). Following previous studies, several control variables were also measured, including business age, price, location, and demographic traits and previous experience of the guests (Table 5). 18 Table 5.…”

Commercial homes represent the commodification of a rural home that affects its authenticity. This study uses a quantitative approach to examine the interaction of commodification and perceived authenticity of commercial homes in rural areas. Both commodification and perceived authenticity are treated as multi-dimensional and measurable constructs. Three sets of hypotheses regarding their relationships are tested with a hierarchical dataset comprising 188 commercial home owners and 873 tourists in northern Zhejiang Province, China. Findings from hierarchical linear modeling indicate that commodification of place and labor negatively affects cognitive authenticity, and commodification of hosts' goals negatively affects relational authenticity. In contrast, no significant effects are found on constructive authenticity. A conclusive model is then proposed, and research implications and limitations are discussed.

“…A gestão de portfólio de produtos ganha importância, entre os limites tênues dos interesses econômicos e culturais, como um programa organizacional complexo composto por inúmeras variáveis que interferem diretamente nos investimentos de recursos em pesquisa e desenvolvimento de produtos como suvenires para atender à demanda gerada pelo turismo (LITTRELL; ANDERSON; BROWN, 1993;HITCHCOCK;TEAGUE, 2000).…”

Desenvolvimento de produtos tradicionais artesanais e destinos turísticos regionais no contexto da indústria criativa 1 Traditional craft product development and regional tourist destinations in the creative industry contextDesarrollo de productos tradicionales artesanales y destinos turísticos regionales en contexto de la industria creativa http://dx.doi.org/10.18472/cvt.17n3.2017.1205 Gustavo Melo-Silva < gustavomelosilva@ufsj.edu.br > RESUMOAs atividades econômicas artesanais compõem um Sistema Produtivo Tradicional (SPT) no contexto das Indústrias Criativas e de um destino turístico. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi compreender a gestão de portfólio de produtos de SPTs de base artesanal têxtil e mineroartesanal, os quais estão conectados com destinos turísticos regionais. Estes SPTs lidam, por um lado, com a competição, gestão e produtos e, por outro lado, com uma realidade social de: tomada de decisão coletiva; necessidade de transparência; possibilidades de entendimentos entre interesses econômicos e sociais; e de emancipação dos moradores dos destinos analisados. Em cada SPT foi realizado um estudo multicaso, que compreendeu pesquisas e análises bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados mostram que a divisão do trabalho e a especialização são características do SPT contemporâneo e que essa configuração estrutural inibe a inovação no desenvolvimento de produtos para atender ao mercado turístico com suvenires.Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento Local.

In this sense, the objective was to understand the portfolio management of craft textile and craft mining products based TPSs, which are connected with regional tourist destinations. On one hand, these TPSs deal with competition, management and products and, on the other hand, with a social reality: collective decision making; need for transparency; possibilities of understanding economic and social interests; and the emancipation of the residents of the analyzed destinations. In each TPS, a multicase study was conducted, which included research and bibliographical and documental analysis. The results show that the division of labor and specialization is a feature of the TPS contemporary and that this structural configuration inhibits innovation in the development of products to meet touristic market with souvenirs.

“…Hirschman (2010) provides insight into craft authenticity through its sense of place in physical and emotional terms, describing how the Appalachian Quilt Trail conveys a sense of family, heritage and community. Craft authenticity depends on uniqueness, quality, originality, colour, design and being hand made (Littrell et al 1993). Consumers seek authentic products in their quest for escape from modern life (MacCannell 1976).…”

Abstract:Drawing on data from the Celtic craft sector, this paper uses aesthetics as a critical lens in explaining how small firms develop particular styles of marketing in order to survive and grow. This approach has not previously been adopted in explaining small business marketing behaviour, although there is a growing history of its use in the wider management and organisation arena. Interpretation of qualitative data from the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland has enabled the construction of a typology of different styles of marketing by craft firm owner/managers which also confirms the heterogeneous nature of the small business sector. Aesthetic profiling helps explain why some craft firms follow market demand, while others pursue market creation activities. A key outcome is the need to acknowledge the impact of aesthetic processes on small business marketing decision making. Investigation of the Celtic aesthetic informs how these processes are shaped through the development of a particular type of marketing grounded in creativity, intuition and opportunity recognition. Wider consumption, markets and cultural implications are also evaluated in terms of decision and meaning making in the cultural production process; the connections between critical marketing and aesthetics as ways of challenging marketing concepts and practices; how aesthetics contributes to entrepreneurial marketing; and finally how craft and the Celtic lens uncover wider connections with cultural production.
