By 2030, 71.5 million Baby Boomers will be 65 years and older. At that time they will demand products, services, and environments addressing their age-related physical changes (U.S. Department of Justice, 2005). Moreover, both in the U.S. and Taiwan, elderly people were more likely to report having a disability than younger people. The results indicated that respondents were very loyal to a hotel that could satisfy their needs. Moreover, their purchasing behaviors and attitudes were strongly correlated. They always repeated their purchasing behavior and had a positive attitude toward the hotel that can satisfy their needs. It send a message to the hotel operators that even though their facilities may not be able to satisfy disabled travelers, they still have a chance to bring them back as loyal customers, providing the hotel operators can handle their special needs and complaints. ····· 1036118977

It is not only useful to find out tourist behavior but also to discover new features or approaches to retain tourists. Since understanding customers is very precise and sensitive issue psychographic constructs can determine to explain tourist behavior based on different situations of lifestyles, personality and other latent variables which are involved to tourists` motivations. Perceptions, expectations, and motivations have been played important roles in decision making as well as they are intervening for estimating the specific travel attributes. Also, there are many academic researches which have been stated variety of relationships among the constructs distinctly. While this study has rigorously distinguished another view from tourist behavior and pursues to explore new causal relationship of psychographic constructs. However, they can act as hubs which can be as a mediator, moderator, and so on. Further, the existences of information are very useful in order to distinguish tourist behavior. ····· 1036118870

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This study explores social and technical aspects of ATM systems in Egypt. A pragmatic research approach using mixed methods with a range of stakeholders was employed. Soft Systems Methodology was used to develop conceptual models. A questionnaire was devised to survey ATM users and collected data was statistically analysed. Semi-structured attributes allowed a more probing study of decision makers in the Egyptian banks and of ATM suppliers. When results were brought together, differences between customers and bank managers were discovered. ATM suppliers emerged as an additional stakeholder with an influential role. In response to the findings, two versions of the conceptual model were drawn, a reduced one reflecting the actual situation, and an expanded one that envisages a situation in which the views of the main stakeholders are taken fully into account. The reduced model emphasises the role of bank managers, recognises the role of ATM suppliers, and reduces the roles of customers and bank staff. The expanded model retains the bank managers perspective as dominant but adds activities that enable that perspective to be tempered by the views of customers and bank staff. ····· 1036118600
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Traditional financial reporting has over the past decades been supplemented by environmental reporting, and, subsequently, comprehensive sustainability reporting. In 2011, this was taken a step further by the global initiative for integrated reporting. Financial and environmental reporting often do not yet seem to sufficiently recognise the business implications of environmental information or issues. This hampers integrated reporting as well as integration of environmental issues in core business. In order to contribute to the development of guidance for a more integrated way of reporting, this study examined the current practice of relating environmental reporting to financial reporting in selected South African mining companies. The study found that cross-referencing between environmental reporting and financial reporting is very limited, consistency in where and how to disclose information often lacking, and alignment of information in the two reports often inadequate. Apart from some topical issues, little was disclosed on the business implications of environmental information. Recommendations are suggested on how integrated reporting on environmental issues may be enhanced. ····· 1036118580

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Emotional labor is the expression of organizationally mandated emotions by service workers during service encounters. The performance of emotional labor is known to benefit service organizations in terms of organizational productivity, repeat business, and service quality. However, it has been found to be detrimental to employee well-being and job satisfaction, particularly when service workers engage in surface acting rather than deep acting. This book provides empirical evidence of the performance of emotional labor and its consequences among Malaysian hotel workers. Surface acting was found to result in emotional exhaustion and decreased job satisfaction, whereas the reverse was true for deep acting. Clearly, deep acting proves to be a more beneficial method to manage work emotions. Additionally, social support (i.e., supervisory support and co-worker support) and job autonomy could buffer the negative consequences of emotional labor. A crucial message for hotel managers is that education and training with regard to the performance of emotional labor may be necessary to help employees learn how to provide sincere hospitality. ····· 1036118554

Social networks have been known to influence entrepreneurial success, given that they provide access to resources. However, relatively less attention has been paid to the networks of female entrepreneurs in general and even far less in developing nations. Theories that emerge from a liberal western context may not apply in traditional nations such as, Iran. Hence, when studying female employment or entrepreneurship, it is imperative to understand the underlining cultural and socioeconomic factors that without a doubt influence these women and their economic activities. This book therefore, presents important insights with regards to the networking activities of female business-owners in Iran and the ways in which these women utilize their networks for the advantage of their companies. The analysis should be particularly useful for scholars conducting research on female entrepreneurship. Also, for women entrepreneurs that hope to start-up a business in Iran as well as numerous similar cultural contexts. ····· 1036118350

I viewed it as a significant limitation and thought that information covering both trust issues and consumer behavior of the Russian speakers from the Former Soviet Union would serve as a valuable source of information and vehicle for advancing the literature. The dominant approach emphasizes different classifications of trust including implications for marketers for developing marketing strategies specifically tailored for Russian speakers from the Former Soviet Union. While not all Russian speakers from the Soviet Union behave in the same way, there are similarities of language, culture, way of life and thinking that are significant factors in making comprehensive conclusions in this research. ····· 1036118250

However, managers can manage the financial statements thereby impairing their credibility and misleading the stakeholders. Financial statement management is likely to be more pervasive in banks due to the presence of greater incentives and scope. But the implications of the same can be far reaching as loss of public confidence on banks can lead to liquidity crunch threatening the stability of the entire financial system of a country and spreading the contagion beyond. The potential to manage the books can be expected to be higher in Indian banks due to poor transparency.Further government ownership and social controls make the case of Indian banks very unique. This work examines the books of Indian banks for potential income smoothing, capital management, tax minimization and dividend stability focusing on accrual based or real action based tools.It also discusses interdependence and the role of economic factors in the use of these tools.
