The north eastern part of India is famous for its handcrafted products. Handicrafts forms one of the basic livelihood activities and it provides income and employment opportunities to a large number of people. Cane and bamboo work, among various other forms of crafts, are the most important to the north eastern region of India. However, extensive use of cane and bamboo has resulted in depletion of the sources of raw materials. This case illustrates the initiative undertaken by NEDFi and NEC in the north eastern states to promote water hyacinth craft. The case also discusses the systematic development and implementation of the intervention and its impact on the rural artisans.

The paper aims to provide analysis of the most general problems of the music industry in the digital age. It poses a question about the possibility of innovation and conceptual development in contemporary popular music, overflowed with retromania. A growing popularity of such form as a “concept album” and its transformation into concept multimedia projects is regarded as a positive sign of the changes in music production and distribution. Detailed cultural analysis of one particular case, the multimedia concept project by the British band Gorillaz, demonstrates how a substantial cultural and musical innovation can exist today in the framework of popular entertainment. The last studio album by Gorillaz, called Plastic Beach (2010) works with the concept of Utopia and utopian imagery, presenting music as a space for free and meaningful collaboration among musicians and for the creation of the diverse community of listeners.

This study examined the relationship among social media consumption, team identification, word-of-mouth intention, and attendance intention. By analyzing a total of 146 undergraduate students, this study revealed the following insights. First, social media consumption directly affects team identification and word-of-mouth intention. Second, team identification directly affects word-of-mouth intention and attendance intention. Third, social media consumption affects word-of-mouth intention and attendance intention, mediated by team identification. These results expand the use of social media in the marketing and research field upon prior studies of social media and team identification in sport. The most important contribution of this study was to provide the evidence that social media consumption can affect behavioral intention directly and indirectly with team identification as a mediating factor. Thus, this study suggests the way that social media can be used not only for information distribution but also for driving more revenue by stimulating fans’ team identification and intentions.

The record-breaking prices observed in the art market over the last three years raise the question of whether we are experiencing a speculative bubble. Given the difficulty to determine the fundamental value of artworks, we apply a right-tailed unit root test with forward recursive regressions (SADF test) to detect explosive behaviors directly in the time series of four different art market segments ("Impressionist and Modern", "Post-war and Contemporary", "American", and "Latin American") for the period from 1970 to 2013. We identify two historical speculative bubbles and find an explosive movement in today's "Post-war and Contemporary" and "American" fine art market segments.

The popular nickname for the Bank of England dates back to a caricature of the institution from the 1790s. An exhibition in the Bank’s Museum celebrates two centuries of visual comment, some of which is discussed in this short article.

We examine the impact of Ebola headline news days on media-highlightedstocks. An Ebola news day (negative or positive in nature) is associated with increasedtrading, higher share volume, higher dollar volume, and increased share turnover.OLS regressions on industry-specific portfolios reveal that airline, restaurant, andcruise ship returns reverse themselves one day after the Ebola news event, a resultthat is consistent with behavioral overreaction literature. Empirical findings could beused to prepare market participants for analogous epidemics.
