A model of fan involvement, participation and loyalty: a mixed method study on fan behaviour and management in Basketball. This study will build a model of sport fan loyalty in the context of the National Basketball League using ethnographic and survey methods. This will develop a more complete understanding of motives and drivers of fan involvement, participation and loyalty. We will use this to examine the impact of marketing activity on fan loyalty, and to generate recommendations for sports ....A model of fan involvement, participation and loyalty: a mixed method study on fan behaviour and management in Basketball. This study will build a model of sport fan loyalty in the context of the National Basketball League using ethnographic and survey methods. This will develop a more complete understanding of motives and drivers of fan involvement, participation and loyalty. We will use this to examine the impact of marketing activity on fan loyalty, and to generate recommendations for sports organisations and government agencies seeking to engender greater interest and interaction in sport, particularly amongst young Australians. A further aim is to develop a more comprehensive understanding of consumer loyalty than the limited view that presently exists in the marketing literature. The study will be carried out via two APAI under the supervision of the CIs.Read moreRead less

The results would help charities in brand building activities through improved marketing communications. For example, the Australian Red Cross Blood Service (ARCBS) can understand how to improve their brand equity (e.g. improving loyalty, enhancing brand awareness levels, achieving higher perception of quality as well as enhancing brand image) in their donor markets. Increased commitment from the donors is likely to result in benefits such as more blood donations for this charity organisation. This would mean better services provided by ARCBS which would mean promoting and maintaining good health among the Australian public.Read moreRead less

This project aims to address the urgent need for a transformational shift in thinking and actions in primary healthcare service delivery. Primary care clinics, the front door of Australia's healthcare, are under considerable strain. By using a four-phase mixed methodology design across four Australian states, this project expects to generate a national evidence-based framework which takes a dual approach combining the use of digital technology with humanness. Expected outcomes include the development of an Australian-first evidence-based digital resource kit, including two new tools, and a new co-designed roadmap to better facilitate this important change journey to enhance patient experience, employee wellbeing and clinic performance.
