ENSURING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL TOURISM THROUGH INTERNATIONAL PRACTICES
No full textThe process of re-launching tourism and
its consecration as an important socio-economic
branch in the Republic of Moldova can only be
possible if the decision-makers have a clear and
responsible vision regarding this branch, established
through well-structured and formulated
objectives, being later materialized in the form
of development programs.
In this article, the author draws the state
authorities’ attention to the issues that persist in
the tourism industry and emphasizes the need to
declare tourism as a priority branch of the
national economy, while urging decision-makers
to take into account the international experience
in managing this branch by ensuring its sustainable
development
DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM ENTERPRISE PERFORMANCE IN TERMS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Get PDFIn a society where the emphasis is placed on
innovation and creativity, and where tourism companies
need to be flexible to deal with the competitive environment,
the management approach from the perspective
of integrating a performing organizational
culture is essential.
The modern enterprise operates in a dynamic,
environmentally-friendly environment that brings about
constant changes and considerable investment efforts to
take advantage of the opportunities it is offered. Of
course, connecting to environmental opportunities is not
an option but a necessity, especially in the current
globalization process.
In this article, the author describes the typology of
organizational cultures, simultaneously characterizing
the premises, components and cultural values specific to
tourism enterprises
PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENT OF TOURISM ENTERPRISE BY IMPLEMENTING MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
No full textFor managerial practice it is important to know
the methodology of developing a tourism business
strategy, more than the theoretical concepts related to
this field. The enterprise strategy is an important
lever to boost and support the change of emphasis of
the creative side of the organization's management.
Based on these prerequisites, the author makes
an overview of the need to adopt a management strategy
within the enterprise, describes the defining features
of the strategy in the view of some authors,
classifies the strategies according to several criteria,
proposes a management model specific to the tourism
enterprise, carries out the comparative analysis of
how to formulate and how to implement the strategy,
characterizes the difficulties that arise in the process
of strategy implementation
INTERNATIONALIZATION OF TOURISM SERVICES AND PRODUCTS IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION
Get PDFNowadays, the internationalization of services is much more accessible thanks to the formation of so-called free
economic markets in almost all the world's continents, thus facilitating the flow of capital between companies from the
same field, adjacent or even different fields. Information technology is another factor that facilitates the
internationalization of services, but especially the rapidity with which it develops, makes possible to connect in a very short
time or in real time with partners from all parts of the world.
In this article, the author makes an analysis of the mechanism of internationalization of tourism services, describes
the forms of manifestation of companies in the international environment and characterizes the benefits and risks that can
arise in the process of internationalization of tourism enterprises
THE SWOT ANALYSIS IN BUSINESS ACTIVITY PLANNING OF THE TOURISM ENTERPRISE
No full textSWOT analysis is one of the most well-known strategic management tools and is used in practice bytourism enterprises to guide the strategic decision in choosing an option that matches a rational framework.Before managers define their effective strategy to gain a competitive advantage, they need to carefully look atthe situation of the tourism enterprise's competitiveness, which involves assessing the environmental andorganizational factors which influence the company's ability to compete. Thus, the tourism enterprise’s offermust be perceived by the consumer tourists as the most attractive from the point of view of the quality and pricepolicy. Through this article, the author argues the need to use the SWOT analysis in the strategic planningactivity of the tourism enterprise to ensure competitiveness in relation to the competitive environment
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
