The Dolomites: tourism governance and multi-level networks
No full textThe coordination of tourism stakeholders within a destination is key to ensuring effective tourism governance, and networks and networking around a central Destination Management Organisation (DMO) have been pointed out by tourism management literature as powerful instruments and processes to govern the destinations. The present case chapter wants to take a closer look at such a phenomenon by following the governance process of the Dolomites, a mountain area in northern Italy. The establishment of a DMO, the consolidation of the relationships among the actors of the destination, and the development of a marketing strategy were all steps in this process; however, by reading the relationships through a multi-level network lens, the authors explain the partial failure of such initiatives with the lack of attention to the micro-level actors of the destination, tourism businesses, and operators
Human resource and labour issues in Asian tourism
No full textOverview of the South Korean tourism industry The Republic of Korea (South Korea) has a population of 51 million people and is one of the most industrialized countries in Asia. It is often called the “second Japan”. South Korea’s GDP soared at an average of 10% annually in a period called the “Miracle on the Han River” that rapidly and successfully transformed it into a high-income advanced economy and the world’s 11th largest economy by 1995. South Korea is presently the world’s fth largest exporter and seventh largest importer, and a G-20 and OECD member. Since the rst free election in 1987, South Koreans have enjoyed high levels of civil liberty. Its popular culture has considerable inuence in Asia, and is expanding globally as a phenomenon often called the “Korean Wave”. South Korea is East Asia’s most developed country in the Human Development Index. Driven by high-tech chaebols such as Samsung, the world’s largest technology company, Hyundai-Kia and LG, South Korea has one of the highest levels of research and development spending per unit of GDP (Choi & Ahn 2014)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
