KT 2-6-2014 Layout 1 SUBSCRIPTION MONDAY, JUNE 2, 2014 SHAABAN 4, 1435 AH www.kuwaittimes.net Amir on landmark Iran Max 46º visit to boost relations Min 27º High Tide 03:35 & 13:44 Several bilateral agreements signed Low Tide 08:35 & 21:25 40 PAGES NO: 16184 150 FILS TEHRAN: HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah yes- terday started a landmark visit to Tehran focused on mending fences between Shiite Iran and the Sunni-ruled monarchies in the Gulf. The two-day visit comes amid a thaw in ties between Tehran and six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) since the election of Iran’s moderate President Hassan Rouhani in June 2013. Sheikh Sabah, on his first visit to Tehran as head of state, flew in at the head of a high-level delegation including the foreign, oil, finance, commerce and industry ministers. Rouhani escorted Sheikh Sabah to review an Iranian honor guard upon the Amir’s arrival in Tehran. In greeting the Amir, Rouhani, quoted on the presidency website, said the trip would mark “a decisive turning point” and that the two states had “close views on political, regional and international issues”. The visit would “benefit both countries”, HH the Amir was quoted as saying. “Our ties with Kuwait are very important to us and we hope this trip would be a new chapter to boost cooperation,” said Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, quoted by state news agency IRNA. The visit will also focus on controver- sial regional issues, including Iran’s military involvement in Syria, the situation in Iraq and Egypt, and the Middle East peace process, Kuwaiti officials said. Relations between Iran and the Gulf, namely signs of rap- prochement between regional power brokers Saudi Arabia and Iran, will also be discussed during the visit, Kuwaiti for- eign ministry undersecretary Khaled Al-Jarallah told Al-Hayat newspaper. He said Kuwait, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the GCC - which also includes Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - has balanced links with Tehran and is willing to mediate between Riyadh and Tehran. Saudi Arabia and its GCC partners are deeply suspicious of Iran’s nuclear ambitions and wary of the talks under way between Tehran and Western powers aimed at striking a long-term compromise. Riyadh is also at odds with Iran over the Syria war, in which Tehran backs the government and Saudi Arabia the rebels, as well as its involvement in Iraq, Bahrain and other countries in the region. Sheikh Sabah, a former Kuwaiti foreign minister, is described by analysts as one of the region’s most active diplomats, often acting as a mediator.

  • Unexpected Events & Brand Loyalty the Case Of
    UNEXPECTED EVENTS & BRAND LOYALTY THE CASE OF CRUSADERS RUGBY CLUB by Paula Rochelle Ash A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Marketing Victoria University of Wellington 2020 Abstract Prompted by the Christchurch mosque massacres of March 2019, considerable concern was expressed by society around the world, and New Zealand in particular, about anything that might provoke further attacks on Muslims. Consequently, the branding of the Crusaders rugby club in Christchurch came under scrutiny - and became the topic of this research. The research questions were: which brand elements of a sports team would have the greatest impact on attitude to that brand and consequently the brand loyalty; and how will time and an unexpected event change attitudes to a brand, especially the influence of brand elements? Although indications are that sports related brand elements should influence brand attitude and in turn positively influence brand loyalty, this has never been researched against the backdrop of an unexpected event. Adopting a post-positivist approach, a quantitative study was undertaken to answer the research questions. An anonymous online survey yielded 361 usable responses, of which 103 were from Crusaders fans. The analysis was conducted as two studies: (1) the whole participant group and (2) only the Crusaders fans. Study one provided demographic data and consumer views on sports brand elements influencing brand attitudes, either side of an unexpected event. For study two, factor analysis and structural equation modelling provided an indication of the hypothesized relationships between certain brand elements (name, logo, characters, pageantry) and past success on attitude to the brand and thence to brand loyalty.

  • A Case of Living with the Consequences Allegations of Racism Within a Professional Rugby Union Franchise
    “TELLING IT AS I SEE IT” - A CASE OF LIVING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES ALLEGATIONS OF RACISM WITHIN A PROFESSIONAL RUGBY UNION FRANCHISE Chantelle Te Haara, Tahirih McLaren-Brown, John Davies Victoria Management School, Victoria University of Wellington PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This case examines allegations of racist selection within a professional rugby union franchise team made by a well known former All Black and sport media personality on a popular TV sporting show. The focal actor’s prominent role as a Rugby World Cup 2011 Ambassador provides a context for a consideration of stakeholder analysis in matters of risk, media and crisis management. It also provides opportunity for consideration of ethical behaviour, and a multi-level exploration of the reaction, and moral and ethical reasoning of a diverse group of political, sporting and other stakeholders. Key words: rugby, racism, Crusaders, stakeholder analysis, ethical behaviour. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Rugby Union and SuperRugby Rugby Union is a global sport played in more than 120 counties at an amateur or professional level. There are two primary versions of the game – played as 15-aside and 7-aside by men and women. The 15s version is played at school, club, provincial and international level – with a Rugby World Cup (RWC) held every four years, with qualifying tournaments played on a continental basis. The game of Rugby Sevens is also played at international level, with an annual World Series of nine two-day competitions contested by national teams playing successively at venues on five different continents.
