  • A Case Study of Carnival Cruise Line
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/2397-3757.htm MABR 3,1 The impacts of deviations from standard daily procedures on stock performance – a case study 70 of Carnival Cruise Line Received 7 September 2017 Grace Wang Revised 15 January 2018 8 March 2018 Department of Maritime Administration, Accepted 14 March 2018 Texas A&M University at Galveston, Galveston, Texas, USA Qingcheng Zeng School of Maritime Economics and Management, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian, China, and Lawrence Cliff Ghoram Department of Maritime Administration, Texas A&M University at Galveston, Galveston, Texas, USA Abstract Purpose – In the USA, the cruise industry has generated more than $42bn in total economic activities, involving over 356,000 jobs. The largest and most aggressive operator is acknowledged as Carnival Cruise Line (CCL), with a 48.3 per cent market share including all subsidiary companies in 2013. CCL has had a strong track record of reliability and high quality; however, within the past decade, there have been several deviations from standard daily procedure that have altered the way CCL does business. When trying to interpret changes in company performance, it is important to include other factors that may have contributed to changes at the time of any given deviation. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use time series empirical mode decomposition to visualize whether there are short- or long-term shocks to company performance in the wake of deviating events. Besides, a thorough analysis is carried out with multivariable linear regression to identify the factors that really impact CCL’s performance.
