Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the difficulties in identifying adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to illustrate the consequences of late diagnoses in forensic settings.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper presents an overview of the literature relevant to the topic and presents the details of three clinical cases.
Findings
Delayed diagnosis is not uncommon in forensic services. Cases may remain unidentified for considerable periods despite being under evaluation from clinical teams. Diagnosis in forensic settings is challenged by case complexity. Barriers to prompt diagnosis include time, resources and clinical competency. Timely diagnosis may lessen the risk of future offences, improves clinical risk management and can bring direct benefits to those with the condition.
Originality/value
This is the first case series which explores the issue of late diagnosis in forensic settings. The illustration of the extent to which a diagnosis can be missed may prompt clinicians to review and identify missed cases. The discussion of the issue may also support services to review their approach to screening and diagnosis of ASD.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate Donald F. Dixon's contribution to scholarship in clarifying two parallel streams of thought on marketing's role in value creation: value in use and value in exchange.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper presents a literary analysis of some of Dixon's work that is often overlooked, and a discussion of its relevance to the services, channels and marketing strategy literature.
Findings
Dixon's distinction between the two streams of thought (“value in use” and “value in exchange”) clarifies an important aspect of marketing's intellectual heritage that has eluded the literature on services marketing, channels and marketing strategy. The consequences of this oversight are considerable.
Originality/value
The paper focuses on an aspect of Dixon's work that is underappreciated and not widely understood.

Abstract
With student, scholarly, and especially corporate interest in the study of logistics dramatically increasing, it is important for institutions of higher learning to act as quickly as possible to help meet this demand. In doing so, these institutions run into many roadblocks and challenges. This paper explores these and offers suggestions to minimize their effects.

Abstract
Focuses on consumer evaluations of store preference when presented with promotional deals that are equivalent on a unit‐cost basis and/or are equivalent on a total cost basis but are worded differently. An experimental design setting is used to examine the effect of three deal frames: one, stated in terms of a straight price promotion (“50 percent off”), the second, as an extra‐product or volume promotion (“buy one, get one free”), and a third as a “mixed” promotion (“buy two, get 50 percent off”). Four typical supermarket product categories are considered in a shopping scenario to investigate the effect of two category‐based moderating factors: product stock‐up characteristic and price level. Results show that the nature of framing significantly affects consumer deal preference and store preference even though the deals are equivalent on a unit cost basis and two of the deals are also equivalent on a total cost basis.

Abstract
Urban versus suburban shopping environments present unique opportunities and challenges for retailers. Retailers in both urban and suburban locations attempt to both attract outshoppers and retain their hold on shoppers in their immediate trade areas. To this end, it is incumbent on retailers to understand the dynamics underlying consumers’ decisions to shop in urban versus suburban retailing settings. This is especially important for consumer shopping behavior during the December holiday selling season which accounts for a disproportionate share of many retailers’ yearly revenues and profits. Reports on a three‐year study conducted in a major metropolitan area which addresses shopping behaviour, intentions, retail satisfaction and its antecedents between urban resident shoppers and suburban resident shoppers. Implications are presented for retailers who have chosen to emphasize strategically urban or suburban locations as well as for those retailers who have branch stores in both geographic locations.
