Implementing Automation Initiatives in Companies to Create Better-Connected Experiences

Abstract
This chapter aims to understand the options for distributing newspaper content online and offline.

Several data sources were used, including an interview with the director and a survey with 570 readers. JN shared a much larger number of news in the paper version. It is a newspaper focused on difficult news; however, it combines this strategy with the use of infotainment, especially in the online version. This chapter highlights the importance of aligning the content strategy and the preferences of readers.

Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management

Abstract
This chapter builds on the main contributions in the literature that associate tourism with student mobility, particularly in Europe, positioning tourism both as a motivator and an enhancer of mobility’s success, namely by developing transversal skills and loyalty to the host destination (e.g. intention to return to the host destination for tourism or work and its recommendation to peers). A qualitative study was conducted with 32 exchange students that spent one or two semesters at the same Portuguese University by using focus groups for collecting participants’ views and experiences. Data was subject to thematic content analysis. Participants in this study agreed that they travel as much as they can during their mobility, being an essential part of their intercultural experience. Their narratives and dialogues evidenced that travelling contributes to developing transversal skills important for their self-awareness and for their future professional careers, such as time management, money management, and intercultural communication. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract
Worldwide organic food consumption has registered a consistent rise in recent years. Despite the relevant body of literature on the topic, it is necessary to further understand the antecedents of purchase intention. This article aims to identify the factors that influence the consumer's intention to purchase organic food. It extends the theory of planned behavior model by including environmental concerns, health concerns, and perceived quality as determinants of attitude toward organic food products. Additionally, it considers the effect of product availability on consumers' perceived behavioral control. This article includes a quantitative study that was conducted in Portugal in 2020 (n = 206). Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed set of research hypotheses. In line with extant literature, this study confirmed that attitude toward organic food is the main determinant of purchase intention. Additionally, it demonstrates that health concerns and perceived quality have a significant impact on attitude toward organic food. The impact of environmental concerns on attitude was not confirmed by this study. Based on these findings, it is recommended that managers stress health benefits and quality of organic food in order to foster positive attitudes and consequently leverage purchase intention.

How Prospective International Retired Migrants Use Tourism for Decision Making

TOURISM

Abstract
Despite the current importance of international retirement migration for both academics and practitioners, the extant literature on the topic is still scarce and mostly focused on short-period migration flows from wealthy and northern countries to cheaper and warm-weather destinations. This article aims at shedding light on the role of tourism in prospective migrants' decision-making process, considering the framework provided by the push-pull model, which is often used to explain both migration and tourism. A qualitative study was conducted, comprising ten in-depth interviews with 45+ year-old Brazilian citizens who intend to move to Europe after retirement. Results show that tourism is important for prospective migrants to evaluate possible migration destinations, as some of the most relevant migration pull factors (e.g., safety) are easily assessed during tourism experiences. Participants in this study also carefully plan tourism activities prior to their decision to migrate in order to get a more realistic notion of what the destination is like for residents. Overall, this study demonstrates that tourism is particularly important for several stages of migrants' decision-making process.
