Career and collaboration patterns in tourism research

Research collaboration has become an important characteristic of contemporary academia and is of prime importance for the academic career opportunities of young scholars. For the purposes of this study research collaboration is a formal manifestation of intellectual collaboration in scientific research and involves the participation of two or more authors in the production of a joint publication. The paper reports the findings of a quantitative online survey sent to tourism scholars to explore their career and collaboration patterns in co-authored publications in tourism research. The results indicate that there are divergent perspectives on research collaboration and that collaboration characteristics change as scholars progress through their careers. The paper proposes a research career lifecycle to explain the patterns in tourism research collaboration.     

中日科研资助体系对比研究及启示

自2015年来深化科技体制改革进入关键期,再造国家科研资助体系提上日程。从竞争性与非竞争性的二元结构资助体系、产学合作政策两个维度,对比分析中日两国的科研资助体系发现,当前我国还存在非竞争性科研经费比例偏低、竞争性资助计划覆盖领域和人群不够充分、对产学研合作的政策引导尚存不足等问题。因此,还需进一步优化科研资助体系,使其在二元结构、覆盖面等方面更加合理,并强化对产学研合作的政策规范和引导。     

The impact of coercive and non-coercive forms of influence on trust, commitment, and compliance in supply chains

A major premise in managing channel relationships is encouraging cooperation to achieve the aims of the relational partners. This often requires a balancing act between utilization of influence across the supply chain to motivate decisions, while employing tactics that do not damage the future of the relationship. This paper builds and tests a model of how influence strategies affect relational elements, specifically trust and commitment, which both promote strong inter-firm relationships and act as mediators of joint action, specifically cooperation and compliance across channel partners. Results suggest that coercive strategies are counterproductive in encouraging cooperation and compliance either directly or through relational intermediaries, while non-coercive influence produces positive outcomes and effects on intermediaries. Low levels of coercive influence do appear to generate positive outcomes. Managerial implications and future research based on these results conclude the paper.     

A dyadic approach to the impact of differences in organizational culture on relationship performance

The authors extend previous research on relationship management by investigating the potential effect of differences in organizational culture on relationship performance among 124 dyads. Theory suggests that partner similarity may improve the feeling of we-ness thereby contributing to the perceived success of inter-firm cooperation. The findings reveal that differences in organizational culture are larger in less successful inter-firm relationships, but do not influence the perceived relationship success significantly. Our results suggest that relationship managers should not confuse compatibility with similarity; personal chemistry is important for relationship atmosphere but does not solely depend on similarities. Future research in this area may wish to concentrate on a more complete measure of organizational (sub)culture(s), the different levels of analysis (personal, organizational, dyad), relationship life cycles (stage models) and the role of organizational identity.

Assessing the Value of Collaborations in Tourism Networks: A Case Study of Elkhart County,Indiana

This study explores the determinants of perceived value derived from interorganizational collaborations in a tourism destination. The authors propose a theoretical model of perceived value drawing upon the rich stream of literature related to strategic collaborations and interorganizational networks. The model was tested using a cross section of tourism organizations operating within Elkhart County, Indiana. The results indicate that a significant positive value of collaboration is achieved from dyadic relationships. Importantly, the results suggest that the positive effect achieved from one-to-one partnerships decreases once an organization collaborates with several other organizations. The article discusses various implications for managing strategic tourism partnerships.     

Critical Success Factors for Crisis Recovery Management: A Case Study of Phuket Hotels

Tourism is a major export industry for Thailand. Phuket, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, has been negatively influenced in recent years by a number of crises, including the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). This has limited the travel budget not only for domestic tourists but also those from overseas. Hotel businesses have been particularly affected by the GFC. While hotel managers may not be able anticipate a crisis, it is crucial for them to understand the critical success factors contributing to effective crisis recovery in order to ensure their long-term survival.This research identifies critical success factors necessary for effective economic crisis management through qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with managers of Phuket hotels. The findings of these interviews provide a rich and meaningful understanding of pertinent factors emphasized by managers as important in crisis recovery.
