Economic Diversity

Between 1790 and 1840 Scotland's Highlands and Islands saw a rise in the number of travellers due to transportation changes, war on the Continent, and popular fiction. Consequently, the number of inns increased in response to this shift in local travel patterns and influx of visitors. By examining where the growth in inns happened, who managed them, and what services were offered, this article argues that the Highlands and Islands economy was both complex and commercial. It establishes that rural women were innkeepers of multifaceted hospitality operations responding to market demands and enabling economic diversity in their communities, the result of which was the hospitality infrastructure for tourism.

And Control

Global diffusion of organized retailing over the last several decades brought extensive worldwide standardization of retail formats and technologies. Such development, however, has not led to the success of the same set of retailers but to varied prominence of core players across markets. Few studies comparatively analyse local market environments to assess this variation, and those that do rarely look beyond local policy measures or idiosyncratic consumer tastes. Presenting a sociological institutionalist alternative and comparing Korea’s and Taiwan’s paths to organized retail development, this article highlights how local business groups relied on network-hierarchy logics to coordinate and control new businesses amid MNC entry and global diffusion of retailing. The resulting dynamics of competition and cooperation illustrate the significance of institutionalized market environments for MNC performance. The study contributes to the comparative capitalism literature by highlighting institutionally embedded strategic behaviours of organizations as crucial contributors to continued national economic diversity amid heightening globalization.

Unbalanced regional development is an inevitable trend in the development of all countries in the world. The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has created tools for the study of regional development issues. IoT has many advantages and thus owns a very wide range of applications. This paper makes use of geographic information system (GIS) technology, which can be viewed as one of the IoT sensing information. Changes in spatial regional economic differences and space and the evolution of the structure are particularly examined by processing spatial information such as maps, analyzing phenomena and events that exist on the earth, and exploiting Kriging and inverse distance weighting (IDW). The numerical results in this paper justify that the introduction of GIS technology to the study of economic diversity can upgrade regional economic research from a traditional qualitative and statistical level to a quantitative and spatial visualization level.
