Book Shapes of Tourism Employment

Download or read book Shapes of Tourism Employment written by Gwenaelle Grefe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ambition of this book is to propose a grid of reading able to illuminate the current HR transformations experienced by the big historical international companies of the sector of the tourism, carried away by what is known as the "3rd tourist revolution ". The latter is characterized by the combination of three main phenomena: internationalization, digitalization and hyper-personalization that refound the employment relationship between employers, unions and employees. Internationalization requires a renewal of business models heckled by the low-cost strategies of new operators provoking social reactions to the extent of perceived psychological disruptions, to question the validity of these same strategies. Digitization has opened the way to the disintermediation at the origin of the evolution of the trades front and back office. Finally, hyper-personalization and adaptation to new client behaviors justify the hegemony of soft skills for a redefined hospitality. In the end, the employee must constantly deal with often paradoxical injunctions (example: standardization of service protocols versus empowerment). A focus will be made on two specific branches: hotels and air transport which will each be part of a part. The topic will be illustrated by case studies and testimonials. The two coordinators of the book will draw on the contributions of researchers who collaborate with them in the framework of an international research program they pilot.

Book Les m  tiers des services    l heure du d  veloppement durable

Download or read book Les m tiers des services l heure du d veloppement durable written by AFPA, and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le secteur des services regroupe aujourd'hui plus des trois quarts des emplois : transports, commerce, social, santé, éducation, culture, loisirs, services aux entreprises et services aux personnes, etc. Des activités diverses, mais qui ont en commun d'être bien moins "immatérielles" qu'on ne le dit souvent. Gros consommateurs d'énergie, les services sont également d'importants utilisateurs finals de ressources. Un développement réellement durable passe donc par une profonde transformation des services. La panoplie des solutions est vaste. Elle passe par de nouveaux choix techniques et organisationnels - informatique moins énergivore ; bureaux BBC (bâtiment basse consommation) ou passifs (qui produisent plus d'énergie qu'ils n'en consomment) ; télétravail ; transports optimisés, etc. - et par l'adoption de nouveaux comportements : éco-conduite, diminution des impressions papier... Avec pour objectif de développer des réponses aux besoins optimales en termes d'utilités sociale, sociétale et environnementale. Une mutation qui suppose de pouvoir mobiliser une main d'oeuvre qualifiée, apte à s'adapter en permanence à des objectifs évolutifs. C'est pour accompagner aussi bien les professionnels du secteur que les conseillers emploi et les formateurs que l'Afpa a réalisé cet ouvrage avec l'appui d'Alternatives Economiques. Il dresse un panorama de cette révolution en cours, décrit ses conséquences pour chaque métier, donne la parole aux différents intervenants du secteur et fait le tour des formations disponibles.

Book The Entrepreneurial Society

Download or read book The Entrepreneurial Society written by David B. Audretsch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous generations enjoyed the security of lifelong employment with a sole employer. Public policy and social institutions reinforced that security by producing a labor force content with mechanized repetition in manufacturing plants, and creating loyalty to one employer for life. This is no longer the case. Globalization and new technologies have triggered a shift away from capital and towards knowledge. In today's global economy, where jobs and factories can be moved quickly to low-cost locations, the competitive advantage has shifted to ideas, insights, and innovation. But it is not enough just to have new ideas. It takes entrepreneurs to actualize them by championing them to society. Entrepreneurship has emerged as the proactive response to globalization. In this book, award-winning economist David B. Audretsch identifies the positive, proactive response to globalization--the entrepreneurial society, where change is the cutting edge and routine work is inevitably outsourced. Under the managed economy of the cold war era, government policies around the world supported big business, while small business was deemed irrelevant and largely ignored. The author documents the fundamental policy revolution underway, shifting the focus to technology and knowledge-based entrepreneurship, where start-ups and small business have emerged as the driving force of innovation, jobs, competitiveness and growth. The role of the university has accordingly shifted from tangential to a highly valued seedbed for coveted new ideas with the potential to create not just breathtaking new ventures but also entire new industries. By understanding the shift from the managed economy and the emergence of the entrepreneurial society, individuals, businesses, and communities can learn how to proactively harness the opportunities afforded by globalization in this new entrepreneurial society.

Book Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research

Download or read book Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research written by Aditya Johri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.
