4- Emerald IJCHM Outstanding Doctoral Research Award 2008
Li Miao was the winner of the 2008 Hospitality Management Award, sponsored by International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, for her thesis “Consumers’ emotional responses to service encounters: the influence of other consumers”. Her Doctoral Degree was awarded at Penn State University, USA. She is currently working in the Hospitality and Tourism Management Department at Purdue University, USA.
Dr Miao commented: “It is a great honor to win this award. Emerald’s initiative to nurture quality research by young scholars serves as a great source of inspiration for doctoral students who are trekking the road to the completion of a dissertation.

7- Conferences - attended
Council on Hospitality Management Education (CHME) 18th Annual Research Conference, 13-15 May 2009, Eastbourne, UK
The publisher at Emerald, Valerie Robillard, attended the CHME conference in Eastbourne and ran an author workshop, which was well received. The conference brought together UK academics and practitioners, in order to encourage partnership through the engagement of many key industrialists in the conference while pursuing academic excellence in the field of hospitality management. The conference was organised around four themes: cultural and critical studies in hospitality; culinary arts and technology; developments in applied hospitality management research; and research and practice in teaching learning and assessment.
IJCHM sponsored the award for Best Development Paper from a new researcher. The winner was Stacey Roche from the University of Huddersfield for her paper “The Social Identity of ‘Older’ Workers in the ‘Stigmatised’ Restaurant Industry: A Social Constructionism Approach”. The paper was submitted to the critical studies stream, but has clear management implications and is a good piece of work.
The 4th International Conference on Services Management, 8-9 May 2009, Oxford, UK
The editor of IJCHM, Dr. Fevzi Okumus, attended this conference and delivered a keynote speech on hospitality research.
