Innovation is essential to remaining competitive in the tourism
industry, especially for new enterprises. Community-based tourism
is not only innovative but also a responsible tourism initiative
that lessens the negative impacts of economic activity and
increases the positive impacts of the sector. This type of tourism
works with respect for the environment and generates innovations in
products, services, and processes. Moreover, from a social
innovation perspective, it explores businesses, initiatives, and
ideas that can add value to tourism. Entrepreneurs looking to
remain successful need to improve their knowledge of this valuable
industry. Innovation and Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Community
Tourism is a critical reference source that examines the latest
empirical research findings in innovation in the community tourism
network and its contribution to the development of the territory.
The book also investigates the dynamic capacities related to small
tourism entrepreneurs in the coastal space. Highlighting themes
that include female entrepreneurship, marketing, and marine
tourism, this book is ideal for entrepreneurs, small business
owners, tourism and hospitality professionals, academicians,
researchers, and students who are looking to improve their
understanding of community tourism development.
The phenomenon of enterprise growth is more a function of the
nature of the entrepreneurial person and the policies and
strategies adopted by a venture rather than the economic and
environmental factors such as profitability or industry growth.
This book focuses on the role of founder characteristics and
venture policies in promoting enterprise-growth, with special focus
on High Growth Enterprises. The research reported in this book is
triggered by the that almost 95% of business start-ups either get
closed down or stagnate, with only about 5% taking to a growth
path, even though many more of them are profitable. The study
presented in the book investigates the relationships between
enterprise growth and venture policies as well as entrepreneurial
characteristics such as the traits, motives and background of
entrepreneurs. It also identifies the general entrepreneurial
characteristics and points to the need for reviewing/redefining
some of the concepts traditionally associated with
entrepreneurship, such as achievement motive, power motive, desire
for independence, risk-taking ability, support and encouragement,
etc.
The context for this book is the increasingly complex relationship
between economic theory and competition law which gives rise to
lively political and academic debate on the direction competition
law should take in a more global and innovation-oriented market
place. The authors adopt a comparative, research-orientated
approach, taking into account different situations in the US,
Europe, Japan and transition and developing countries. They
investigate the impact of economics on the objectives of
competition law in various fields - restrictive agreements,
unilateral restraints and merger control - and on the effectiveness
of enforcement in a given legal and judicial system. Economic
Theory and Competition Law is an insightful resource for law and
economics scholars. Legal practitioners in the field of competition
law will also value this book.
