Developing a Framework for Understanding a Tourism Service Setting

ABSTRACT

This study aims to extend current typologies in physical environments as applied to service marketing. The physical setting in which service delivery is undertaken creates expectations of the level of service. Thus, the design of the service environment should be carefully undertaken to ensure consistency with service expectations. This is a report/study which demonstrates that many organizations fail to adequately capture the servicescape in tourism settings as evidenced by low accuracy in classification by the participants.

Seeking a Replacement for the Medicare Physician Services Payment Method

Business and government spending on physician services have soared over the last few decades. Most payers for services traditionally peg their payment rates to Medicare. However, most consider the current Medicare single payment rate flawed because it fails to improve health outcomes or control spending. Everyone wants to replace it, but good replacements have not been identified. We estimated elasticities of the single-payment rate with respect to several of its determinants, proposed a replacement—a service-specific payment rate—for the single-payment rate, and estimated the budget implications of this replacement. Key findings are that the single-payment rate is relatively inelastic to the Sustained Growth Rate (SGR)1 and expenditure levels and that the proposed service-specific payment rate promotes primary care, controls spending, and saves money.

Seeking Competitive Advantage in a Deepening Crisis

ABSTRACT

This paper examines how Export Processing Zone firms in Zimbabwe have responded to the economic crisis in Zimbabwe. The study investigated how exporters are responding to dissipating competitive advantages. Data was collected from a sample of 30 firms. It was analysed through factor analysis to extract constructs considered competitive advantages or disadvantages. Results show competitive advantages pursued are centred on three key factors, i.e., production, pricing, and product. Competitive disadvantages are in the area of product quality and pricing. The two competitive disadvantages are developing a contagious effect on the remaining advantages, thus, deepening the firms into the crisis.

Action Learning in a Traditional Educational Setting

Traditional course-taught learning methods in Management education are challenged for their efficacy. A major problem is that in the quest to secure and please management students, the sort of choice is allowed which would allow management students to stay within their comfort zones. Here, already-held skills and competencies are refined. A method is suggested to take students out of the comfort zone and into the courage zone of unfamiliar skills. The method was tried out with Hong Kong management students whose cultural mores meant that more courage was needed to engage with confrontational skills. The OKX model was developed around two learning methods: Management Self-development and Action Learning. The importance of 'self' is discussed with reference to learned helplessness vs. selfempowerment. The role of the learner in action-planning to change others' expectations is presented. An example of the major competence of Managing Assertively, as developed for the course is given, together with suggested documentation. A methodology to proceed through the stages of self-directed learning is suggested.

A Framework for Setting Retirement Savings Goals

The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for calculating savings needed to meet retirement goals under a variety of alternative assumptions about the economic and institutional environment. A “base case” that incorporates a zero real rate of interest serves as a starting point; next, differences resulting from a positive interest rate are examined. The analysis is further modified to take into account the effects of inflation, the role of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), and possible future changes in tax laws. Throughout, the goal is to evaluate how best to plan for a smooth, regular consumption level before and after retirement and to adjust savings programs for changes in one's situation or expectations. The framework provided herein is expected to be useful to consumer educators and financial counselors concerned with helping individuals to meet their retirement goals.     

The Nature of Responsibility in a Professional Setting

This paper begins by looking at the complex and dynamic nature of responsibility. Based in the interconnected concepts of imputability, accountability and liability it argues that, whilst some elements of responsibility can be determined through role and contract, the broader sense of liability involves a sense of shared responsibility that is ultimately based in the concept of universal responsibility. Such responsibility requires core virtues, not least awareness and integrity, a continued means of negotiating responsibility and ongoing dialogue between the different responsibilities connected to role. The paper argues that the nature of such dialogue is itself grounded in the development of personal and shared responsibility. It concludes that the professions have a moral leadership role in articulating and modelling that responsibility. This article is a Keynote speech by the author, Prof. Dr. Simon Robinson.

The Benefits of Gainsharing Programs in a Not-for-Profit Setting

ABSTRACT

Times are changing for not-for-profit corporations. Rapid growth of the not-for-profit sector, coupled with corporate downsizing, has created increased competition for funds and volunteers.

Not-for-profit organizations must work “smarter and harder” to keep even with past performance. Organizations desiring growth must become more aggressive.

Gainsharing is a new concept in the not-for-profit sector. The rules for gainsharing are presented and successful approaches for gainsharing plans are identified.
