Key survival factors in the exhibition industry
He, H.; Lin, Z.; Li, H.
Abstract
This study examines the key survival factors in the exhibition industry. Secondary data were collected from 656 exhibitions held in China from 1981 to 2019. The results of Kaplan-Meier analysis show that the probability of failure is significantly lower in large, first-tier cities such as Shanghai than in smaller cities. The survival probability of machinery exhibitions is significantly higher than that of automobile and motorcycle exhibitions. The results of semi-parametric regression with an extended Cox model reveal five key survival factors, namely, exhibition history, start-up size, trade association connection, relevant industry clusters, and public transportation. However, the influence of exhibition history diminishes with time. The findings provide important managerial implications for both the exhibition industry and hosting cities.
