Understanding this motivation is important for knowing how the decision making process works and will enable to find out which strategies are most effective in ensuring that the venue is selected by the consumers. Over the course of thirty five years there has been a number of researches done on Crompton’s Push and Pull Theory. In his initial framework in 1979, Crompton identified seven push motives towards a destination. They are escape, self-exploration, relaxation, prestige, regression, kinship-enhancement, and social interaction. The pull motives were identified as novelty and education. Due to these efforts made by Crompton, later studies have enabled to identify other variables that motivate consumers in the hospitality and event industries (Jang & Cai, 2002; Yuan & McDonald, …show more content…

This is primarily due to the fact that the original model was developed to identify factors that motivate tourists to choose a destination. On the other hand tourist destinations have now become popular due to events and as such this theory can be applied to the event industry as well. Additionally weddings, being a universal event can be categorized as an event and thus some of the factors can be applied to this research as well. Another point to be noted is that some weddings are now destination wedding which further give support that consumer motivation can be identified using Crompton’s push and pull theory. Even today, the notion among many people is that the event industry and research and study into it is useless. For many it is something that can be learnt through experience and does not need learning. While this is true to some extent, research and studies is important as the event market is ever-changing. It is a creative field which requires critical thinking and evaluation and at the same time it is also important to understand consumer needs to cater for them

In these launches, there are signs placed in the front of the store and the new item gets placed at the entrance of the store on a little table so it can sell. This leads to guests trying new products and purchasing new things. Once every three months, a cosmetic or skin care brand comes in and holds an immense event.

There are many theories that suggest that crime is constructed socially, or is a product of the society in which the crime is committed. One such theory, proposed by Robert Merton, is known as strain theory. While strain theory is a useful model for explaining how societal values can drive people to commit crimes, it has several flaws and does not focus on how laws are made and how this contributes to the formation of crime. While Merton suggests that laws are created from consensus within a society, it will be argued that strain theory can also support the idea that laws are a “product of conflict” (Hagan 5). Strain theory is founded on the idea that the goals of a society and the accepted means of achieving said goal causes strain that can

The structural strain theory was developed by sociologist Robert K. Merton as part of the functionalist perspective. Strain occurs when individuals find it hard to achieve cultural goals through institutionalized means (Merton, 1938). This theory suggests that there are five responses to strain, which include conformity, ritualism, innovation, retreatism and rebellion (Andersen and Taylor, 2009). The responses are developed based on two factors, which are, first, whether the individual accepts or rejects the cultural goals of the society and second, whether the individual accepts or rejects the instituitionalized means of achieving them. To understand this theory, we first have to understand what cultural goals and the institutionalized means of achieving them mean.
