14 years after the original XML specification reached recommendation status and more than 30 years since SGML solutions had proven the rich value and significant return on investment for technical documentation, there is still a relatively low number of XML-based publishing system deployments for non-technical, high-value communications. Even though marketing departments, product managers, and enterprise publishing departments face similar challenges as those that documentation departments have addressed, the value of automated publishing from structured content has eluded these additional audiences. For these teams of non-technical, subject matter experts and supporting communications departments, there continue to be too many roadblocks on the value path to an XML-based dynamic publishing solution. Quark's Smart Content methodology and RNG schema is meant to address the needs of non-technical communicators with a rethinking of the fundamental differences required to allow this new user base to join the dynamic publishing community.

Reverse logistics (RL), which refers to the distribution activities involved in product returns, has recently received much attention because many companies are using it as a strategic tool to serve their customers and can generate good revenue. An efficient reverse distribution structure may lead to a significant return on investment as well as a significantly increased competitiveness in the market. Therefore, analysis of the interaction among the major barriers, which hinder or prevent the application of reverse logistics, is a crucial issue. Existing models have focused on diagnosing these barriers independently. As a result, the holistic view in understanding the barriers is not accounted for. This paper utilizes the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology to understand the mutual influences among the barriers so that those driving barriers, which can aggravate few more barriers and those independent barriers, which are most influenced by driving barriers, are identified.

Preventable and reversible chronic diseases affect millions of Americans, costing the United States billions of dollars annually for treatments that slow the trajectory but fail to address the root cause of illness. Lifestyle medicine is efficacious, and research has shown that this medical approach garners a significant return on investment in the treatment of many chronic diseases. To obtain an overview of successful reimbursement and practice models used by practitioners, American College of Lifestyle Medicine members were invited to participate in an online survey regarding their experience with lifestyle medicine services and reimbursement models. Three hundred and fifty-one respondents with diverse practice structures, geographical locations, and educational backgrounds completed the survey. The results demonstrate that practitioners are utilizing a variety of lifestyle medicine programs and reimbursement and practice models. Seventy-four percent of respondents are currently providing lifestyle medicine, though the majority do not receive reimbursement for their services. This study provides examples of successful lifestyle medicine reimbursement and practice models, as well as demonstrates the need for continued advocacy for sustainable reimbursement of lifestyle medicine services.

Brazil has enormous, underexplored tourism potential. To identify how digital marketing can boost tourism, the authors chose to examine the city of Paraty—a touristic microcosm of Brazil. Digital marketing is a low-cost marketing strategy that can reach potential tourists anywhere. Its use by tourism entrepreneurs has proven effective and able to generate significant return on investment. This exploratory study aimed to develop hypotheses. The authors used questionnaires and interviews to assess the perception of local tourism entrepreneurs regarding the affordances and advantages of digital marketing tools, techniques, and strategies. They found that entrepreneurs' adoption of digital marketing brought several benefits, including low investment costs and significant returns. However, the research revealed the need for training, mainly for small entrepreneurs to explore the numerous opportunities of the web in their businesses. Public authorities can also play a more leading role in combining and steering efforts to promote tourism.

Mental health is increasingly being recognised as a critical component of employee well-being. Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) provide a comprehensive range of services to corporations to enhance the mental well-being of employees, leading to greater productivity. Increased uptake of EAP services across industries in India over the past two decades clearly indicates the growing recognition of the value of such services. Is there a real need in India for mental health services or are EAPs more suited to a western context and typically introduced only in response to a global mandate? How do employees and organisations benefit from the introduction of an EAP? This article seeks to address these questions by examining mental health data and EAP utilisation trends in India. It also explores the business case for EAP, outlines the components of a comprehensive EAP and draws attention to the unique attributes that would make an EAP effective in the Indian context thereby providing a significant return on investment for the organisation.
