Thailand posits as the best tourist destination with cruise port of call and considers to set up Andaman home port recently. Hence, the marketing strategy is demanded for revenue compensated port cost. This research aimed to develop the marketing strategy for cruise home port in Andaman Tourism Cluster of Thailand. The methodology used six step qualitative approach with relevant stakeholders of cruise tourism and port in Thailand. The SWOT analysis was conducted and evaluated by analytic hierarchy process. The TOWS matrix was employed and suggested the 3 key marketing strategy; 1) Product Development Strategy, 2) Market Development Strategy and 3) Business Network Development Strategy. The detailed findings were validated with the panel of 10 experts and Andaman tourism association representatives. Further implication for recommended marketing strategy can be utilized for tourism policy in Thailand.","PeriodicalId":381210,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Trade, Economics and Finance","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127759361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In other words, abuse of market dominant position presupposes that there is market dominant power in the market and market dominant power should be inferred from high market share, and in order to calculate market share, relevant market should be defined, and the relevant market should be defined by means of the SSNIP test reflecting the substitutability of demand or supply. Meanwhile, a market definition for multi-sided platforms is complex and incoherent due to particular features of multi-sided platforms. In this regard, some modified tools of market definition for multi-sided platforms are suggested with related Korean cases.","PeriodicalId":381210,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Trade, Economics and Finance","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121867605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this research, and the interpretation and evaluation of results, two findings or rather conclusions were drawn. These findings are presented sequentially as follows: In terms of profitability, the adaptive MACD trading system was the most effective one, followed by PIVOT trading system and the SMA was ranked as the least profitable trading system.

In this study we attempted to answer the question; if a global crisis had not taken place in 2008, what would be the value of exports in Turkey in 2009? Beside the subject analyzed, another main objective of this article was to present an alternative methodology for analyzing such topics and demonstrate its advantages. For this purpose, by using the annual time series exports data from 1981-2014, we employed Grafted Polynomial Functions and estimated the value of exports in 2009 in a predictive manner. We found that, a loss of approximately $ 54 billion occurred in Turkey's exports as the result of the 2008 global crisis. We also showed the strength of our model in extrapolation and in interpolation by establishing the relationship between B-Splines and our grafted polynomial function.","PeriodicalId":381210,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Trade, Economics and Finance","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131741541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
