This volume offers state-of-the-art research in service science and
its related research, education and practice areas. It showcases
recent developments in smart service systems, operations management
and analytics and their impact in complex service systems. The
papers included in this volume highlight emerging technology and
applications in fields including healthcare, energy, finance,
information technology, transportation, sports, logistics, and
public services. Regardless of size and service, a service
organization is a service system. Because of the socio-technical
nature of a service system, a systems approach must be adopted to
design, develop, and deliver services, aimed at meeting end users'
both utilitarian and socio-psychological needs. Effective
understanding of service and service systems often requires
combining multiple methods to consider how interactions of people,
technology, organizations, and information create value under
various conditions. The papers in this volume present methods to
approach such technical challenges in service science and are based
on top papers from the 2019 INFORMS International Conference on
Service Science.

This book explores the basic traits of inter-organizational
networks, examining the interplay between structure, dynamics, and
performance from a governance perspective. The book assumes a novel
theoretical angle based on the interpretation of networks as
multiple systems, and advances the theory in the realm of network
effectiveness and failure. Composed of two parts, theoretical and
empirical, The Network Organization clarifies the literature on
networks, offering a systematic review, and provides a new
perspective on their integration with other streams of research
focusing on under-studied issues such as agency, micro-dynamics,
and network effectiveness. The second part proposes the analysis of
the tourism destination of Venice, with a specific focus on the
network between the Venice Film Festival, the hospitality system,
and the local institutions. By exploring the pervasion of networks
in modern social and economic life, this book will be valuable to
students, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers.
The sales of organic products have increased significantly over the
last five years in Europe and the USA. This, along with the EU's
definition of organic in 1993, has prompted the publication of a
practical guide which describes what is involved in the processing
and production of organic food ingredients and products. This
handbook emphasizes technological, economic and regulatory issues,
and includes a directory of companies which sell and produce
organic foods and ingredients. It should interest organic food
manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, organic farmers and growers,
and those in academic research institutions.
This book argues that COVID-19 revives a much deeper climate of
terror which was instilled by terrorism and the War on Terror
originally declared by Bush's administration in 2001. It discusses
critically not only the consequences of COVID-19 on our daily lives
but also "the end of hospitality", at least as we know it. Since
COVID-19 started spreading across the globe, it affected not only
the tourism industry but also ground global trade to a halt.
Governments adopted restrictive measures to stop the spread of the
virus, including the closure of borders, and airspace, the
introduction of strict lockdowns and social distancing, much of
which led to large-scale cancellations of international and
domestic flights. This book explores how global tourists, who were
largely considered ambassadors of democratic and prosperous
societies in the pre-pandemic days, have suddenly become undesired
guests.
This book examines the implications for public law of the
regulation of privatized utilities, asking how these institutions
fit into our constitutional understanding regarding accountability,
individual rights and territorial government. It argues that new
approaches are needed if constitutional and regulatory principles
are to accommodate one another. This is of particular interest in
the context of recent constitutional reforms and the growing
influence of European integration. After describing the
institutions, their powers and duties, particular attention is paid
to the position of consumers, the role of the European Community,
territorial government and the place of individual rights. The book
concludes by looking at price control, the coming of competitive
markets for utility services and the future of the regulatory
system in the light of convergence, multi-utilities and the
government's planned reforms.
Every corporate or special event requires a governing entity to
provide proper handling for any kind of situation. A proper
understanding of various laws and legislation may not only help
with identifying possible challenges, but it may also assist in
mitigating situations when they do occur. Legal, Safety, and
Environmental Challenges for Event Management: Emerging Research
and Opportunities is an essential reference source that provides an
in-depth understanding of various dimensions of events management
practice, legal issues, and risk management, which can include
environmental legislation and impacts, health and safety
frameworks, consumer laws, licensing, contracts, and legal
technologies. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as
crowd management, workplace hazards, and emergency preparedness,
this book is ideally designed for event planners, event
organizers/coordinators, security staff, managers, marketers,
researchers, academicians, students, and industry professionals
seeking current research on events, tourism, hospitality, and
leisure management.
"Softwars: The Legal Battles for Control of the Global Software
Industry" explains why the future of the computer industry depends
on the nature and extent of intellectual property protection for
the software that controls computer hardware. The softwars it
discusses are the confrontations taking place in the courtroom, in
the legislative chambers and in professional symposia around the
world in which the scope of intellectual property protection for
computer software is being debated and, in some cases, determined.
In a highly readable and entertaining series of essays, the author
explains the influences of clones, hackers, vendors of proprietary
systems, vendors of open systems, software patents, copyrights and
trade secrets on the evolution of the industry. No other book to
date has provided either as lucid a description of the major
litigation involving software protection or as cogent an analysis
of the economic and strategic consequences of that litigation.
"SoftwarS" is divided into five parts, each consisting of two or
more essays. In Part I, the author discusses the nature of computer
programs and the history of intellectual property protection for
computer programs. Part II deals with the look and feel issue; it
explains what constitutes infringement of rights in screen displays
and other aspects of user interfaces, and the importance of the
issue. Part III concerns the practice known as reverse engineering
of software; who does it, why, and what the legal and economic
consequences are. In Part IV, the reader is led to the boundaries
of the legal debate, where the limits of the law are being tested.
Part V is the author's conclusion and prognostications for the
future of the computer industry and the law. Anyone interested in
the intersection of law and technology, and particularly those
involved in the computer industry, will find Softwars valuable and
compelling reading.
Healthcare and medical services have seen rapid development in
various areas of the world, including Asia and Eastern Europe.
These territories are now becoming a medical hub for many
surrounding countries. Medical tourism is the practice of traveling
to international regions for treatment that isn't available
locally. This subject has gained significant attention throughout
the tourism industry, as researchers and professionals are
searching for specific advancements of medical care and hospital
development in numerous countries. Growth of the Medical Tourism
Industry and Its Impact on Society: Emerging Research and
Opportunities is a collection of innovative research on the methods
and advancement of medical travel for treatment in various global
regions and provides insights for the growth prospects of the
medical tourism business. While highlighting topics including
destination branding, community impact, and hospital management,
this book is ideally designed for medical executives, hospital
directors, researchers, policymakers, academicians, practitioners,
scholars, and students seeking current research on tourism
practices within the medical field.
