The application of cost-benefit analysis and behavioral finance and economics in the foodservice context is rare. This volume, Financial Decision-Making in the Foodservice Industry: Economic Costs and Benefits, fills that gap and focuses on cost-benefit analysis, decision-making, behavioral finance, economic theories, and their application in foodservice and restaurant industry. The volume synthesizes these major themes by developing new theoretical foundations and presenting findings from the investigation of managerial practice. The authors cover an abundance of topical issues, including ethical obligations in foodservice, sustainability issues in the foodservice/restaurant industry, farm-to-school and local food expenditures in school foodservice settings, managerial traits and behavior in the foodservice industry, and more. The volume comprehensively analyzes the foodservice value chain, providing a unique perspective for not only hospitality researchers but also for those in such diverse (though related) fields as agricultural economics, food science, food nutrition, consumer behavior, decision-making, and finance and economics"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429292712 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
