    A Grounded Theory of Authenticity and Quality Constructions for Ethnic Restaurants: Implications for Effective Marketing Strategies

    A grounded theory of authenticity and quality constructions for ethnic restaurants: implications for effective marketing strategies Eleni (Elena) Chatzopoulou Newcastle University Business School PhD Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2018 ii Declaration No portion of the work referred to in this thesis has been submitted in support of an application for any other degree or qualification from this, or any other, University or institute of learning. (signature)…………………………………,(date)………………..... iii Acknowledgements During the PhD journey, there have been many people who supported me and believed in me. I wish to begin, though, with my beloved family: Giorgos Tetradis, Katerina Bendopoulou, Joyce Chatzopoulou and Markos Tetradis, who shared their endless love with me during the PhD years and they were always reminding me of how proud they were of me. Nor could I exclude my friends and relatives, whose messages and comforting words have accompanied me during this journey. Either in person or via Facebook, Viber and Skype they have been around during the good or bad times of the last years. Apart from my friends and family, my supervisors, Prof. Matthew Gorton and Dr Sharron Kuznesof, have been the cornerstone of the current thesis. They have heard my complaints, they have seen me disappointed and tired but thanks to their patience and support this research has been completed. Special thanks to the interview participants, the restaurant owners and the consumers, as without them this study wouldn’t be completed. They agreed to be interviewed even if they were busy, they shared their valuable experiences and some of them have been kind enough to treat me with food of their restaurants during our interview.

  • Unofficial Corrected Index Set for "The Foods of Greece", by Aglaia Kremezi

    Unofficial Corrected Index Set for "The Foods of Greece", by Aglaia Kremezi

    Unofficial Corrected Index Set for "The Foods Of Greece", by Aglaia Kremezi Prepared by Dave Liske [email protected] November 2018 Editions 1993: ISBN 9781556702044 (Hardcover) 1999: ISBN 9781556702043 (Hardcover), 9781556709560 (Paperback) 2018: ISBN: 9781635615579 (Hardcover), 9781635615586 (Paperback) Included Here Published Index New Index Recipe Index Photo & Illustration List These Indexes were completed as a personal project, and illustrate the results of correcting an Index which has already been started. In this case, the original Index had apparently been included in the first edition of the book as-is in the publishing process without being completed. It was then included in subsequent editions without verification. The new Index was then used as a basis for creating a specialty Index from the full Index, while a separate Photo & Illustration List was developed from the book itself. I've elected to make these items available for other owners and readers of this wonderful award-winning book on "The Foods of Greece". Introduction, Method, and Discoveries I have to admit, this project was both a selfish one, and a bit of my own OCD. I did this for myself, as I use Kremezi's "The Foods Of Greece" often. It developed from my own use of my 1999 copy of the first paperback edition of Kremezi's popular book, both for myself and when others ask for authentic Greek recipes. In using the book to hopefully find a requested recipe for a flatbread, I found the "Pita" locator in the Index had no page number next to it. It was then that I realized "Pita" was being used as a heading.
