New conditions, technological capabilities and development prospects of the geodetic industry in recent time are characterized. The directions and strategy of the developing the industry, aimed at increasing its national importance by expanding the field of activity from the level of geoinformation to the level of its widespread use are substantiated. The solutions and tasks for the transfer of geo-information activities to a digital basis are listed. The definition of the geospatial activity’s concept is given. The conceptual structure and essentially new directions of geospatial support development of territories taking into account the perspective are offered. They are creating a single territorial geo-information space, designing and developing geo-cognitive technologies for forming geospatial knowledge, developing geo-cognitive technologies for preparing geo-spatial solutions to ensure territorial development and management. The technological levels of formalization and use of geospatial knowledge at preparing spatial solutions are considered. The forecast of expected efficiency received from geospatial activity in the digital economy is given. The scientific and technical directions for the successful geospatial supporting the spatial development of the country and solving tasks of transition to the digital economy are listed.

Lack of strategic planning in e-commerce and subsequently e-business adoption within smallto medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has been strongly reported in literature. This chapter presents SMEs’ Web presence implementation patterns and unravels the reasons behind the lack of strategic planning when adopting Electronic Commerce Technologies (ECT). The chapter presents findings from semi-structured interviews from 11 SMEs in the Northwest of the UK. Findings reflect the difference in development and management practices of Web presence, between the more able Need Pull SMEs that identified the need to adopt ECT, and the less able Technology Push SMEs that were mostly influenced by change agent diffusion and awareness efforts. Over time, each group of SMEs reflect a different pattern in ECT implementation. This chapter depicts the issues that hinder SMEs, particularly in micro and small, in moving beyond Web site adoption.

The conclusion offers a comprehensive summary of the arguments presented in the previous pages. The chapter highlights the various management practices and labour market conditions within the service economy and the impact this has upon the employee. It also reflects upon the imperatives of capitalism and neoliberal ideology and the impact upon subjectivities that display a willingness to harm in order to advance individual needs. In returning to the concept of harm, the chapter concludes that contacts do not necessarily see their experience as harmful as it reflects labour market practice at the level of everyday experience; it is simply the way it is. However, in returning to the idea of recognition and flourishing, or the search for stability and fixity, the harms of work are increasingly problematic and must be addressed.

The Way

When people end their relationships, they must choose which parts of the relationship to remember and forget as they prepare themselves for future partners. This memory process is complicated by the recordability and permanence of mediated messages because individuals must actively curate their virtual possessions—such as pictures with a previous partner or online relationship statuses. Using the relational dissolution model framework, this study investigated the behaviors people use online to manage the end of their relationships and how these choices may influence the way they adjust to the breakup. College students ( N = 234) were surveyed to examine how their keeping and deleting of virtual possessions are related to their post-breakup adjustment. Results suggest that keeping virtual possessions negatively relates to post-breakup adjustment. Participants who were more nostalgic were more likely to keep virtual possessions following a breakup, which mediated the relationship between nostalgia and post-breakup adjustment. The implications show how the persistence of mediated possessions has the potential to affect the breakup process as people struggle to manage their relational memories.

The Way

The relationship between golf courses, forced ecosystems and the environment is extremely complex and need to be established carefully because of the social pressures and implications of this type of facilities. The main environmental aspects of golf courses, the way the golf structures exert an influence on the environment, the management practices and the use of pesticides are the main features to be considered. The soil-plant-atmosphere continuum is at the core of the golf and must be managed in an integrated way to reduce environmental impacts of the whole facility. Many golf courses are located in natural areas, where wildlife exists and there is an influence on the course and vice versa. There is also the need to define the relationships between a course and its surrounding environments.

Proven favorable to housing for high producing dairy cows, cold loose housing at the Wisconsin Station has shown the way to specialized dairy farming in the Midwest. This system allows free, active cows to wait on themselves and bring the milk to the elevated stall milking parlor. Here the operator quickly and effectively milks his cows with the aid of a cleaned in place milk pipeline which carries the milk to the refrigerated bulk tank in the milk room. Success requires careful planning, a workable layout, effective equipment and an operator willing to adjust himself and his hard management practices to his new system of housing.

In recent years there has been widespread concern across the English-speaking world about repeated incidents in which paedophiles have obtained positions of responsibility in relation to the care of vulnerable children, such as those living in residential care. In the United Kingdom, a series of well-publicised incidents over several years culminated in the Beck case. Frank Beck was a paedophile who was appointed to the position of head of a children's home. Following the discovery of his abusive activities with children in one workplace, he successfully moved to a similar position of responsibility. In response to this series of scandals an inquiry was set up in to the Selection, Development and Management of Staff in Children's Homes (the Warner Inquiry). This inquiry produced a substantial report on ways in which selection and management practices should be improved. There have, however, been continuing concerns that international paedophile rings continue to pose a significant risk to children and young people in the care system across the world.

V članku sta podana pregled in analiza razvoja turistične rabe reke Soče ter s tem povezanih upravljavskih praks. Turizem na Soči se je v treh desetletjih razvil od alternativne do izrazito množične tržne dejavnosti, Dolina Soče pa v mednarodno prepoznano outdoor destinacijo. Vzporedno s tem so se z zamikom sprejemali in spreminjali upravljavski ukrepi in pristopi. Na podlagi dolgoročnega etnografskega dela je v članku prikazano, ali in kako so se spreminjali vloga in stališča ključnih lokalnih akterjev ter interesnih skupin do upravljanja in razvoja turizma na Soči. Poleg za outdoor turizem značilnih upravljavskih vidikov (na primer varnost, infrastruktura, cena) je v ospredju vprašanje zaščite in smeri razvoja lokalne turistične ekonomije, ki se pojavi ob naraščajočem koriščenju omejenega vira v pogojih prostega pretoka ljudi, storitev in kapitala. // Stories from the “most beautiful river«: a humanistic geographical perspective on the history of the development and management of tourism on the river Soča The article presents an analysis of the development of the tourist use of the river Soča and the related management practices. In three decades, tourism on the Soča has developed from an alternative to mass tourism, while the Soča valley has become an internationally recognized outdoor destination. Management measures and approaches have been adopted and adapted with some delay. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, the article presents whether and how the role and attitudes of the most important local actors and interest groups have changed in relation to the river tourism development and management. In addition to the typical management issues of outdoor tourism (e.g. safety, infrastructure, price), the focus is on the protection and development direction of the local tourism industry – an issue that often arises in cases of the increasing use of limited resources under conditions of free movement of people, capital and services.
