Economic Development And Growth

This article reviews the literature on regional economics and economic geography, in connection with tourism to identify theoretical models, attempting to explain the role of tourism in regional development and growth, and their empirical applications. The review finds that in their early days, theories of regional development did not include tourism, mainly because the regional economics and location research community did not consider tourism significant enough to influence economic development but also because regional science researchers tend to give priority to manufacturing above services, while development planners tend to prioritize urban above rural. This neglect of tourism as a research field in its own right has led the tourism sector to develop its own scholarly agenda suitable to their own business needs, such as destination competitiveness and tourism promotion. The literature review here concludes upon suggested future directions required to further develop regional tourism research as a study based on economic development and growth.

The ageing population is the crucial phenomenon that has led to the new market segment in tourism known as 'senior tourists.' A senior tourist is determined as an older traveller or grey tourist. The number of elderly keeps growing throughout time; hence, grey tourists will be relevant preferences, differing from the younger tourists. This paper aims to evaluate the relevant studies regarding travel preferences that involve senior tourists. The objective is to understand the publication trend behind the development of travel preferences for senior tourists. The findings suggest that the overall travel preferences among senior tourists studied include 12 aspects of travel preferences. Researchers tend to focus on the aspect of accommodation among senior tourists compared to the other elements. At the end of the review, this paper is set out to outline the literature review analysis to provide greater insight into the development of travel preferences among grey tourists in tourism research from 2000 to 2020. This paper's output offers future directions to explore the offer trends and future direction in tourism and behaviour literature.

Practical Implications

Purpose This paper aims to present a review of articles on business negotiation published between 1995 and 2015. Design/methodology/approach This literature review is based on 490 articles on business negotiation. Findings When analyzing the conceptual underpinnings of this field, two paradigms emerge as dominant. The most prominent paradigm is a cognitive, psychological approach, typically relying on experiments and statistical testing of findings. The second dominating paradigm is a behavioral one, largely concerned with mathematical modeling and game-theoretical models. Practical implications Besides offering a description of the characteristics adhered to the business negotiation field, this paper will also suggest recommendations for further research and specify areas in which the research field needs further conceptual and empirical development. Originality/value This literature review serves to be the first representation of the characteristics adhered to the budding research field of business negotiation.

The Difference

Currently there is a large gap in the level of socio-economic development across regions in Taiwan and inter-regional economic disequilibrium prevails. 23 cities (counties) in Taiwan were taken for example to analyze and evaluate the difference in the level of regional economic development. Firstly, based on the principle in selection of indicators for the level of regional economic development, combined with the actual situation of Taiwan's regional economic development and cities (counties) as the evaluation unit, indicators for evaluation were selected in a scientific and reasonable manner and the weight of each evaulation indicator was determined by Delphi method, thus to establish an evaluation indicator system for the level of economic development in Taiwan’s 23 cities (counties). Secondy, the multi-index comprehensive measurement was used to calculate the composite index of the level of economic development of each evaluation unit, and after horizontal, vertical comparison and analytical investigation of the cities (counties), the reasons for the difference in economic development were analyzed (H • H • Nekrasov, "Regional Economics: Theory • Problem • Methods" 1978). Finally, measures were proposed to coordinate the regional development.

Spatial Content

In this paper the author examines spatial diversities as starting points in regional development. Through the vital process of delocalising spatial content, regions are viewed without their fixed boundaries. Using this same principle, the author seeks to define tourist regions in the sense of subsystems of regional economics as an academic discipline, implying crucial interregional relations and the process of delocalisation. The tourist region is considered a subsystem of Croatia as a tourist region, as well as a subsystem of the Croatian economic system. Regional tourism policies as part of the framework of economic policies call for a unique approach. According to the systems theory, this refers to the subsystem of Croatian tourism policies and to the subsystem of regional economic policies. In dealing with tourist regions, the authors favours the theory of balanced growth in all cases lacking appropriately elaborated development concepts and strategies, and clearly defined development visions and objectives. The author also speaks in favour of the theory of forceful strike wherever there is a clearly developed vision together with the essential development documents.

Strategic Perspective

Environmental issues and social responsibility have a significant impact on the natural ecological system and economic development. Hence, it is important to find a relative balance path between them. Previous studies have sought to explore environmental or social responsibility rather than seek solutions from a systematic perspective, and there seems to be a lack of a systematic, quantitative review of systematic solutions or details. To identify the multiple impacts and relationships between environmental issues and social responsibility and illustrate emerging trends and challenges, this article proposes a scientometrics review based on 1,336 articles published from 2001 to 2020, through co-occurrence analysis and co-citation analysis together with cluster and burstiness analysis to reveal the depth and breadth of emerging research. This research demonstrates the research paradigm of environmental issues and social responsibility extends from a single stakeholder level to a systematic strategic perspective of multiple organizations and stakeholders. The results provide researchers and practitioners with a deeper understanding of future directions and implications Keywords: Environmental issues; social responsibility; strategy; scientometrics; review

The paper aims to identify and analyze what types of governance challenges for sustainable regional development in the context of globalization are more frequently found in scholarship regarding Latin America. In order to do so, we carried out a systematic review of scholarly works discussing regional sustainability issues across the region. Analytically, it provides a heuristic multidimensional framework for organizing and typifying the most frequent sustainable regional development governance challenges under study, offering a nuanced and interrelated account of economic, environmental, political, and socio-spatial scientific discussions. According to our findings, scholarship on Latin America shows a bricolage-like scenery where political atomization linked to economic factionalism and fragmentation stand out as frequently analyzed situations. Another frequent topic relates to discussions about political endeavors linked to environmental concerns, connecting incidence strategies with collective environmental conservation approaches.
