This study explores consumer behavior research published in the Event Management journal from 2006 to 2023, employing bibliometric analysis to explore key themes, influential authors, publication patterns, and contributing countries. Analyzing 197 articles retrieved from the Scopus database, the study identifies significant publication patterns and tracks the thematic evolution within the consumer behavior domain in the Event Management journal. The results consistently focus on attendee satisfaction, motivation, and event management. Recent developments also highlight the growing influence of social media, the importance of delivering experiential value, and the increasing prominence of sports and mega-events. The result also highlights the predominant contribution of the US in this research domain and the growing relevance of China's event market. By mapping the evolution of consumer behavior research themes, this study provides critical insights for scholars and practitioners, emphasizing the necessity for innovative strategies to address the shifting expectations of event attendees. The study concludes with recommendations for future research to explore the evolving consumer behavior in event management.

This study investigates the thematic evolution within event management research by analyzing articles published in three leading event-focused journals—Event Management, Journal of Convention and Event Tourism, and International Journal of Event and Festival Management—from 2019 to 2023. Using comprehensive content analysis and thematic network mapping, the study identifies trends in research topics, author’s keywords, event types, and abstracts, revealing dominant themes such as marketing and management and highlighting underexplored areas like technology and social life-cycle events. The analysis also underscores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on research trends. The findings provide a detailed overview of the field's progression, offering insights into the academic focus of event management research and suggesting avenues for future exploration. This study contributes to the literature by mapping the thematic landscape of event management, emphasizing the importance of aligning research with industry developments and emerging global challenges.

Event studies examine stock price movements around corporate events. These events can be voluntary firm announcements (e.g., new product introduction, alliance formation, channel restructuring) or announcements made by other entities such as regulatory bodies (e.g., FDA approval) or competitors (e.g., new market entry). The event study methodology was developed by finance researchers but has been widely adopted in other fields, including marketing. We review the manner in which event studies have been used in the marketing literature and summarize the current state of knowledge about the design and interpretation of event studies. We provide guidelines for researchers who use this methodology and for readers who draw inferences from results obtained from event studies, and we highlight a few areas where the methodology can be leveraged to help us better understand the financial value of marketing actions.

Bibliometric analysis is a reliable and objective method that uses statistical results to evaluate scientific activities. This method has been utilized in events, hospitality management, and tourism research. Despite the academic growth of event studies, most bibliometric analyses in the events area have focused on specific journals or research topics. Therefore, this study collected events-related articles without a time restriction and conducted bibliometric analysis by dividing them into three groups: events-related journals (E-journals), hospitality management and tourism journals (HT-journals), and business management and marketing journals (NHT-journals). The study revealed the development of event studies, along with research trends and topics in each group, highlighting both similarities and differences. Future research suggestions are provided in the main body of the paper.

Social media comprises communication websites that facilitate relationship forming between users from diverse backgrounds, resulting in a rich social structure. User generated content encourages inquiry and decision-making. Given the relevance of social media to various stakeholders, it has received significant attention from researchers of various fields, including information systems. There exists no comprehensive review that integrates and synthesises the findings of literature on social media. This study discusses the findings of 132 papers (in selected IS journals) on social media and social networking published between 1997 and 2017. Most papers reviewed here examine the behavioural side of social media, investigate the aspect of reviews and recommendations, and study its integration for organizational purposes. Furthermore, many studies have investigated the viability of online communities/social media as a marketing medium, while others have explored various aspects of social media, including the risks associated with its use, the value that it creates, and the negative stigma attached to it within workplaces. The use of social media for information sharing during critical events as well as for seeking and/or rendering help has also been investigated in prior research. Other contexts include political and public administration, and the comparison between traditional and social media. Overall, our study identifies multiple emergent themes in the existing corpus, thereby furthering our understanding of advances in social media research. The integrated view of the extant literature that our study presents can help avoid duplication by future researchers, whilst offering fruitful lines of enquiry to help shape research for this emerging field.

Disaster management (DM), within a broad field of operations management, is becoming an emergent area of interest for academics and practitioners. This study examines the literature evolving on disaster management linked to application of simulation modelling. Many literature review studies on disaster management are offered by numerous authors. However, broad analysis of various applications of simulation based modelling within a DM context are not adequate. As a result, the proposed research carries out a review of 100 papers published in numerous peer-reviewed academic journals during the period 2000 and January 2016. In particular, the paper presents a classification of publications based on the simulation technique(s) used; examines the disaster issues addressed by the technique (s) used; analyzes trends and identifies the impact of published research on simulation modeling pertaining to DM. This study would enable researchers to understand the significance of various simulation modelling techniques in resolving a variety of disaster related challenges.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop research theme categories, investigate thematic trends between 1998 and 2013 and present changes in event management research topics. Design/methodology/approach The coding instrument was developed for thematic analysis of 592 articles in four event management research journals and 106 event management articles in top-tier hospitality and tourism management (H&T) journals. Various intercoder reliability indices were calculated to ensure credibility of content analysis. Findings Major domains of research themes were identified across different periods and journals. Themes differed not only between the event management-focused journals and the hospitality and tourism (H&T) journals but also in different periods (1998-2003, 2004-2008 and 2009-2013). Originality/value First, this study analyzed all articles published in journals focusing on event management as well as event management research published in the H&T journals. Second, this paper improved the credibility of thematic analysis by developing a coding instrument of research themes and by reporting intercoder reliability. Third, this research captured changes in popularity of research themes of different periods and distinct research realms (event management journals versus H&T journals).
