Medical Tourism : An Emerging Industry Anil Bankar
The document discusses various trends in the tourism industry including medical tourism. It notes that medical tourism has grown significantly in recent decades as countries like India and Thailand have become popular destinations for treatments that are more affordable than in other countries. The document provides details on the history of medical tourism and compares costs for various medical treatments between India and other countries. It also outlines the services provided by medical tourism operators and potential career opportunities in the growing medical tourism industry.
This document provides an overview of medical tourism, with a focus on India. It discusses what medical tourism is, common terms used, a brief history, and India's role. Key points include that medical tourism involves traveling abroad for treatment, India has a long history as a destination for health travelers seeking affordable treatments like Ayurveda, and the country now has many JCI accredited hospitals and is a leading destination for procedures like orthopedics and cardiology due to high quality care at much lower costs than other countries.
Medical tourism combines medical care with travel. It has grown due to factors like privatized healthcare, government support, and technology. Popular procedures include cosmetic surgery, dentistry, eye surgery, orthopedics, and bariatric surgery. The industry involves hospitals, agents, governments, travel/insurance companies, and buyers of healthcare. Medical tourism impacts local economies and can drive healthcare innovation. However, issues like transplant tourism and human trafficking remain challenges.
The document presents data on the major religious groups worldwide and in China. Christianity is the largest group worldwide with over 2 billion adherents, comprising 31.5% of the global population. Islam is the second largest with over 1.6 billion adherents (23.2%). In China, the largest groups are Chinese folk religions comprising over 56% of the population, and atheism/non-religious comprising nearly 13%.
The document discusses the growth of mHealth and networked devices in healthcare. It notes that analysts forecast strong growth in the mHealth market, with physicians increasingly using smartphones and the global market for remote patient monitoring growing substantially. mHealth can help address rising healthcare costs by reducing costs through remote monitoring and reducing office visits. It can also help manage chronic diseases, which account for much of healthcare spending. The document outlines Accenture's research on the mHealth opportunity and barriers to its development, noting that industry respondents see networking as important to their competitive future and are developing various networked healthcare devices and services.

Visualizing Data: Infographic Assignments across the Social Work CurriculumLaurel Hitchcock
Today is the third day (Friday, March 3rd) of #BPDNOLA17, and I am presenting with some of my favorite #swtech peeps, Dr. Nathalie Jones of Tarleton State University and Dr. Melanie Sage of the University of North Dakota, at 1:45pm in Bayside C at the Sheraton in New Orleans. We will be talking about an infographic assignment that we jointly developed and implemented with students at each of our campuses. The use of infographics for classroom assignments is becoming commonplace in higher education, although less is known about its use in social work education. Our workshop will review how we collaborated to develop, implement and evaluate an infographic assignment for courses across the social work curriculum

How to Build Brand Attachment with Commodity: The case of a Brazilian Cement ...CBR Conference
The document discusses a case study of a Brazilian cement company called Poty that was able to command premium prices in its region despite cement being a commodity product. A researcher conducted surveys and focus groups to understand why consumers preferred the Poty brand. The surveys found that the Poty brand had strong emotional associations that increased its brand equity more than its functional attributes. When the company was sold, the researcher helped the new owners develop a branding campaign to transition the brand successfully. The campaign focused on increasing brand awareness, recognition, and attachment by creating opportunities for customers to experience the product beyond just purchasing it. The case showed that even for commodities, emotional brand image can significantly impact brand equity.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CONSUMERS’ BRAND RELATIONSHIPS WITH HOCKEY TEAMS - COMMITT...CBR Conference
This document analyzes characteristics of consumer relationships with hockey teams based on interviews with male fans ages 29-55. It finds that relationships with hockey teams exhibit lifelong commitment, with fans often disliking rival teams their whole lives. Some relationships began due to coincidence of attending a first game. Relationships involved passion, aggression, and verbal abuse between fans. Fans formed strong bonds with other fans in brand communities at games. Overall, relationships with hockey teams showed stronger, longer-lasting commitment than typical consumer product relationships.

The document summarizes a presentation given at the 2013 Consumer Brand Relations Conference in Orlando, Florida. The presentation explored the relationship between brand love, personality traits, and the propensity to anthropomorphize brands. It hypothesized that extroversion and openness would be positively associated with brand love, and that high involvement and transformational products would score higher in brand love. The results found openness increased brand love and that anthropomorphization increased love as well, though it did not mediate personality traits. The presentation recommended brand managers actively employ anthropomorphization cues in their branding to increase love, especially for lower involvement products.

1) The document discusses the development of a scale to measure brand authenticity. It conducted 5 studies: 1) assessing consumer understanding of authenticity, 2) generating items from literature, 3) reducing items, 4) validating the scale across brands, and 5) analyzing discriminant validity.
2) The studies identified 4 dimensions of brand authenticity: continuity, originality, reliability, and naturalness. A 15-item, 4-factor model fit the data best.
3) The final study demonstrated the brand authenticity scale was distinct from but related to measures of brand satisfaction, involvement, and image. The scale provides a tool to systematically measure how authentic consumers perceive different brands to be.

The role of product category for brand relationships CBR Conference
This document summarizes a research paper that studied the effect of product category on consumer brand relationships and brand love. It conducted surveys across four product categories (soft drinks, mobile phones, shoes, cars) with 800 respondents total. The study found that while the direction of the relationships between brand love, loyalty, purchase intention and word-of-mouth were consistent across categories, the intensity of the relationships differed by category. Product categories with high brand concentration had better model fit than those with more brands, suggesting brand love depends more on differences between brands within a category than across categories. The paper advances the understanding of consumer brand relationships and how product category may influence brand love.
