Pārrobežu iepirkšanās Latvijas un Igaunijas pierobežā
2017
Pārrobežu iepirkšanās ir izplatīta parādība, kas beidzamo pāris gadu laikā ir kļuvusi īpaši aktuāla arī Latvijā. Alkohola akcīzes nodokļa palielināšana Igaunijā ir veicinājusi tūristu skaita pieaugumu, kas vienlaikus radījis labvēlīgus apstākļus tūrisma un citu pakalpojumu attīstībai pašvaldībās, kas robežojas ar Igauniju. Pierobežā nereti sastopams pārrobežu iepirkšanos sekmējošu apstākļu kopums, turklāt tūristi Latvijas pierobežu galvenokārt apmeklē ērti pieejamās atrašanās vietas vai izdevīgāku cenu dēļ, tomēr bieži vien izmanto arī citas piedāvātās iespējas un pakalpojumus. Kopumā attieksmi pret pārrobežu iepirkšanos var raksturot kā pozitīvu, tomēr arī Latvijā plānots palielināt akcīze…

Brand stores' functions : an approach through brand experience
2022
In-store brand experience leverages brand equity and customer equity which are clear value sources for brands (literature review and exploratory studies). The experience quality is linked to its capacity to meet these goals. Compared to generalist distributors and multi-brand experiences, brand stores are dedicated and focused. They are key places since service and experience items are crafted by the brand itself. The brand is therefore able to grant a genuine, i.e., authentic brand experience (brand content recognition and brand authentication through in-store experience). It is less the case in its distributors’ stores, where brand experience competes with its competitors’ and its distrib…

Circumventing deadlock through venue-shopping: Why there is more than just talk in US immigration politics in times of economic crisis
2016
This article addresses the question of how the financial and economic crisis that hit the US in the late 2000s impacted immigration policies. We find that the crisis has not significantly changed dynamics. Instead, it has highlighted and aggravated persisting trends. Drawing on Kingdon’s multiple streams model and combining it with the notion of two-level games, we find that while the policy stream and the problem stream would call for both restrictive and liberalising changes, the political stream impedes change: The fact that Congress has been divided for a long time over Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) impedes any restrictive or liberalising changes. With problems resulting from c…
