  • An Efficient Promotion for Ethnic Restaurants. In: EURAM 2016
    Chatzopoulou E, Gorton M, Kuznesof S. Defining food authenticity: An efficient promotion for ethnic restaurants. In: EURAM 2016. 2016, Paris, France: European Academy of Management. Copyright: © 2016. This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 license URL link to proceedings: http://2016.euramfullpaper.org/program/files/Euram16_Conference_Book.pdf Date deposited: 02/05/2017 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License Newcastle University ePrints - eprint.ncl.ac.uk Defining food authenticity: An efficient promotion for ethnic restaurants Abstract Authenticity is not only a cornerstone of contemporary marketing, but also crucial in the development of brand identity, differentiation and positioning. To date, research has focussed on perceptions of authenticity in consumers’ patronage of businesses, brands, places and experiences. However, this research takes a “producer” perspective by examining the meaning and construction of authenticity by commercial enterprises, through a qualitative, interpretive examination of restaurants serving mainly Greek food in both the UK and Greece. Restaurateurs (n=11 in the UK and 8 in Greece) were theoretically sampled. Data from in- depth interviews was analysed according to constructivist grounded theory conventions. The results indicated that the core concept linking the restaurateurs was “hospitality”. This was variously achieved by hiring staff of the same ethnicity with the restaurant’s theme, developing a menu, sourcing ingredients and creating an ambiance that reflected the authenticity bias of the restaurateur, which was either indexically or existentially oriented. The strategic implications are discussed. Keywords Authenticity, identity, food, ethnic, restaurants, promotion. 1 Introduction The term authenticity derives from the ancient Greek word “αυθεντικός” meaning something trustworthy and original, not an imitation or imaginary (Cappannelli, 2004).
