Key Issues in Natural Resource Taxation and Revenue Management in the Commonwealth

Purpose The purpose of this research study is to present an overview of hotel revenue management (RM) research articles published in scholarly journals during the 2001-2013 period while offering a direction for future research that focuses on RM in the hotel industry context. Design/methodology/approach Using Boolean search keywords across the period of 2001 to 2013, a total of 83 hotel RM-related research journal articles were queried. To ensure that all the identified articles were hotel-RM related, each article was independently reviewed; 70 research journal articles were identified as relevant for inclusion in this study. Findings RM has been and will continue to be a critical tool for the hotel industry, especially since the rise of its perceived strategic role among hoteliers. The RM process is shifting from a tactical to a strategic approach. Also, RM has become more technology driven and it is becoming more customer-centric. Hoteliers should spend more effort and resources on training and educating revenue managers. Research limitations The content analysis is limited to the databases available to the research team. Practical implications This study serves as a resource for scholars interested in RM research in the hotel industry and documents the focus of RM research and the key issues offered by scholars. Originality/value No study has previously offered an overview of RM research articles focusing on the hotel industry (covering the years since 2000). The manuscript serves as framework for scholars who may wish to identify existing research patterns and pursue new directions.

Institutional Aspects

Research background: Globally, many countries are dependent on natural resources, for this reason, their revenue management becomes an important aspect for their economies. It is necessary to understand the relations between institutional factors and natural resource revenue management from the global point of view. It means to identify which institutional aspects impact both positively and negatively the revenue management. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to find out which conditions, or their combinations, regarding the institutional environment, lead to a certain level of revenue management. It means to comprehend which conditions, respectively their combinations, result in both higher and lower levels of revenue management and consequently influence its sustainability. Methods: Basically, the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is used to empirically examine the relations between institutional background and the revenue management in natural resource rich economies. The Resource Governance Index, as the global index measuring the quality of governance in individual countries is used as the input for the analysis. Findings & Value added: It was found that the individual institutional aspects have diverse effects on revenue management and its resilience. A few sufficient conditions were revealed, accountability, respectively absence of open data, rule of law, government effectiveness, in terms of higher, respectively lower level of revenue management. Political stability and absence of violence were identified as irrelevant conditions in terms of higher level of revenue management. Consistent pathways to reach higher and lower levels of revenue management were found.

Policy And Planning

Pakistan has made noteworthy attempts to incorporate environmental concerns into its policy and planning framework. Environment legislation and the establishment of the Pakistan Environment Protection Agency now date back more than a decade. In 1988 it was also one of the first developing countries to begin designing a comprehensive national conservation strategy. Proposed investments and adjustments to policy arising from the strategy are incorporated in the Eighth Plan 1993-98; and continue to be debated in national fora [see Amir, Chaudhri and Nasir (1992) for example]. Such actions reflect the growing concerns on the wide range of environmental problems facing Pakistan, the result of a still rapidly growing population (more than 3 percent per annum) confronting widespread natural resource degradation. The main purpose of this paper, therefore, is not to underline the well known need to take account of the environment in agricultural planning and policy-making in Pakistan, but to raise some general issues regarding the complementarities and trade-offs between maintaining agricultural production growth on one hand and natural resource conservation on the other.
