Philosophy of leadership in integrated management systems
Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: This thesis introduces to problems which have a concern for each executive in the operative management of industrial enterprises and is therefore e.g. also welcomed and expected with tension on behalf of the employer of the author. These problems arise, beneath a lot of advantages, from the model of business process management which developed within the last few years. This model gets more and more implemented to the larger industry enterprises and make new and great demands on executive work. Business process management models contains, beside the traditional economic aim constructions, the integrated management system which unites environment, quality and work s...
Hiking in European Mountains
Nature sports in general and hiking in particular have become, in our urban and post-industrial societies, a growing phenomenon practiced by millions of citizens. The motivations and interests of this large group are varied, but they have a common element: to disconnect from stressful modern life and reconnect with nature. National parks and other protected areas are the preferred destinations, but they present an challenging contrast for land management: conservation versus tourist use. While once considered a romantic practice of escape and discovery, hiking is now a consumer product and a tourist experience. It promises experiences of disconnection, quiet and health; yet, natural spaces a...
Tourism and Borders
Although globalization has led to increased cross-border traffic, there has been little examination of how crossing political boundaries affects tourism and vice versa. Bringing together case studies from Europe, the USA and Southern Africa, this volume discusses current issues and policies, destination management and communication, and planning in cross-border areas. Topics studied include borders as tourist attractions and destinations in their own right, as barriers to travel and the growth of tourism, boundaries as links of transit and the growth of supranationalism. The book concludes that the role of borders has changed dramatically in recent years. Many more borders that have traditionally hosted large-scale tourism are becoming more difficult to cross, primarily because of safety and immigration concerns. On the other hand, places that were once forbidden to foreigners are now opening up and new destinations are becoming more commonplace.
The Oxford Handbook of the Global Stage Musical
The stage musical constitutes a major industry not only in the US and the UK, but in many regions of the world. Over the last four decades many countries have developed their own musical theatre industries, not only by importing hit shows from Broadway and London but also by establishing or reviving local traditions of musical theatre. In response to the rapid growth of musical theatre as a global phenomenon, The Oxford Handbook of the Global Stage Musical presents new scholarly approaches to issues arising from these new international markets. The volume examines the stage musical from theoretical and empirical perspectives including concepts of globalization and consumer culture, performan...
The Social Web in the Hotel Industry
The social web is defined as the social part of the Internet that enables (personally unknown) people to socially interact with each other in order to cherish friendships and make new acquaintances. The social web’s current significance exceeds this initial focus, by also encompassing corporate and commercial activities. Nadine Chehimi examines to what extent the social web influences the information process of German hotel guests. In addition to the presentation of the social web’s development and current state of use, general and tourist information processes as well as the German hotel market are described. With the help of a standardized guest survey, the author presents the exact role the social web currently plays in the tourist information search.
Historical Disaster Experiences
Historical disaster research is still a young field. This book discusses the experiences of natural disasters in different cultures, from Europe across the Near East to Asia. It focuses on the pre-industrial era and on the question of similarities, differences and transcultural dynamics in the cultural handling of natural disasters. Which long-lasting cultural patterns of perception, interpretation and handling of disasters can be determined? Have specific types of disasters changed the affected societies? What have people learned from disasters and what not? What adaptation and coping strategies existed? Which natural, societal and economic parameters play a part? The book not only reveals the historical depth of present practices, but also reveals possible comparisons that show globalization processes, entanglements and exchanges of ideas and practices in pre-modern times.
Reisen in die Vergangenheit
Die Vergangenheit ist wie ein fremdes Land, das man bereisen kann. Das Phänomen des Geschichtstourismus hat zwar eine lange Geschichte, aber erst ab dem 19. Jahrhundert boten neue Verkehrsmittel, verbesserte Infrastrukturen und nicht zuletzt auch steigende Einkommen die Voraussetzung dafür, Geschichte als Reiseziel massenmedial zu bewerben und schließlich ein Massenphänomen daraus zu machen. Die Autor/innen dieses Bandes nehmen verschiedene Stationen dieser Entwicklung in den Blick – romantische Reisen, heilige Orte, nationale Stätten, Schlachtfelder, Friedhöfe sowie andere dunkle Orte – und beschreiben, wie Geschichte als touristische Attraktion konstruiert und wahrgenommen wurde.

Zurück auf Los oder Neustart?
Kaum eine Branche hat so unter der Corona-Pandemie gelitten wie der Tourismus. Entsprechend warteten viele darauf, endlich wieder die alte Geschäfts- und Reisetätigkeit aufzunehmen und zum vorherigen Boom des "Immer mehr" zurückzukehren. Andere sahen gerade in der Pandemie die Chance für einen nachhaltigen Neustart in der Tourismusbranche. Wohin wird in Zukunft die Reise gehen? Der Band fragt nach Bedingungen und Konzepten für ein nachhaltiges Reisen. Wie ist Tourismus möglich, der schädliche Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt und die sozialen Verhältnisse in den bereisten Destinationen so weit wie möglich vermeidet? Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf dem kirchlichen Engagement in diesem Feld.
