This article presents empirical research that seeks to investigate the principles of management that lead towards successful multi-sector collaboration through the analysis lens of effectuation theory. The target of this empirical research is a destination marketing organization (DMO) considered to be a classic example of multi-sector collaboration focusing on the destination management performed by DMO as a case study. DMO Roppongi in Tokyo has been selected as the sample for this empirical research, and in particular, Nogi Shrine (Nogi-Jinja) has been selected as a venue for inbound meetings and a successful case of destination management. In Japan, shrines are considered as sacred sites; hence, the research began with the question: ‘Why was Nogi Shrine provided as a venue?’. We interviewed both the executive director of DMO Roppongi and the contact person at Nogi Shrine and conducted a qualitative analysis by focusing on the management features emerged during the process of venue selection. In the world of start-ups, entrepreneurs are required to search for business opportunities proactively, but this research has investigated that in the multi-sector collaboration, the abundant resources are mainly possessed by the participating stakeholders that can be associated with the business opportunities. Hence, the key management point in this case is the impartial use of the resources ‘that are already there’ and available for use. This research has formulated this discovery, as ‘the O-Bento principle’ in line with the effectuation theory.

The purpose of this research is to assess user engagement for a video-based social media campaign by a destination marketing organization (DMO). A case study methodology was applied to examine the Tourism Toronto video-based campaign of 2017 on Instagram and Twitter. Social interactions were analyzed to compare the relative engagement rates across platforms. This determined that Instagram had a higher relative engagement rate compared to Twitter. Instagram can be considered as a more desirable tool for DMOs to share videos digitally. The limited sample size presents research limitations through potentially not representing a larger population opinion’s on the content. It enables practical implications for destination marketers who have limited resources by highlighting that Instagram may be a preferred channel over Twitter due to higher engagements rates. There is a lack of research on the comparison of relative engagement rates from an academic perspective and this is the first study to explore the topic for a video-based marketing campaign in the DMO industry.

E-commerce has become a familiar and indispensable part in a developing society, contributing substantially to changes in the customer behaviors and demand. In order to meet customer needs, tourism companies in general and enterprises of the hospitality industry in particular must establish their own websites at the service of their business and competition. In this paper, through aggregation of existing theories in the world and quantitative research, the authors conduct an empirical research for the case of four- and five-starred hotels in H?i An City and identify seven factors that affect the satisfaction of online customers (or e-satisfaction): (1) website design, (2) website information, (3) website security, (4) trust, (5) transaction convenience, (6) customer services, and (7) hotel services information. Those results allow authors to offer some suggestions for hospitality enterprises to enhance their customer satisfaction.

There is nothing that cannot be related directly or indirectly to anything else, and it is this nightmare that is horrifying. There seems to be no precedent for this sort of chaos in the languages of the world… (Traill 1974:251)Regularity of phonological change is considered a basic principle of historico-linguistic reconstruction. In 1876 A. Leskien of the Leipzig school of neogrammarians formulated the postulate of sound change occurring without exception, meaning “that if one assembled all the facts, and analyzed them accurately and thoroughly, one could state exceptionless principles or laws for the development of language” (Lehmann 1973:87). However, it has since been argued on the basis of empirical research that languages are never in complete balance and that, therefore, change is not necessarily constant, nor parallel among groups speaking different languages. Various reasons have been found to account for irregularities in language: the impact of one language on another, the effect of children acquiring their language, etc. Yet before we enter into any etiological discussion of irregular or unstructured phonological change, the area of investigation for the present case study must be introduced, and the characteristic of the problematic nature of the case sketched.

Background: Although many kinds of research on gender discrimination have been made, empirical research on this matter under the perspective of translation technique is still rare. Therefore, this present research aimed to study gender discrimination in three novels authored by Pramoedya Ananta Toer and how gender discrimination is translated into English. Methodology: This case study was applied in three novels written by Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Anak Semua Bangsa, Rumah Kaca, and Jejak Langkah. The data were collected through observations and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings: The results showed that gender discrimination in the three novels was subordination, stereotype, marginalization, workload, and violence. Gender discrimination is translated using established equivalence, explicitation, modulation, paraphrase, implicitation, addition, transposition, reduction, compensation, discursive creation, pure borrowing, deletion, generalization, and particularization. Conclusion: This research reveals that gender discrimination is a phenomenon that commonly occurs in the world community. The research implications are also discussed either empirically or practically at the end of this article.

Increasingly, foreign contacts are a daily fact of life for many companies. It is therefore remarkable that little to no empirical research has been conducted into the language policy applied by such organizations. Companies with transnational contacts are generally assumed to use English throughout the world as a “lingua franca,” yet whether this is actually the case is questionable. In a multicultural Europe that is striving to unite, there may well be other languages that could qualify as the international language of choice. Research is needed to investigate which language or languages are chosen, by whom the choice is made and why, in certain situations, speakers switch to different languages. This article focuses on the report of an empirical study addressing these aspects. A case study of a Dutch parent company that runs a holiday centre in Germany is presented in order to analyse micro-level interactions which can only be understood by considering the language choice as a result of the way in which the environment is “enacted.” For this analysis, use was made of an interview conducted with the Dutch head of the human resources department, along with transcripts of audio-recorded conversations, and also documents such as the mission statement.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
