Significant Factors

The development of the tourism industry is directly related to the training and retraining, professional development of tourist personnel, as it is an update of the theoretical and practical knowledge of staff in accordance with the increasing requirements of the market economy. This article examines the possibilities of increasing labor productivity due to the influence of the tourist business sector on the sphere of higher education. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the interaction of universities and the tourism business sector to increase labor productivity in Kazakhstan as an indicator of the competitiveness of the tourism industry and the higher education sector. The article presents the results of models of multi-factor analysis to study the relationship and influence of some indicators of education and science on the labor productivity of the tourist business sector and academic productivity in Kazakhstan. According to the analysis, the most significant factors are the financing of higher education and the wage fund of universities. The study concludes that the interaction of higher education institutions with the tourism business will increase the financial income of universities that provide services to the tourism business, which, in turn, will improve the ability of universities to increase wage bill to motivate scientists to interact with the tourism business.

The Relationship

This paper explores the ‘best practice’ interactions between universities and small firms in the UK. The purpose is to identify ways in which a university can build stronger and more effective links with small firms. The relationship between universities and small firms is of growing importance. There are political, economic and educational pressures which influence the behaviour and relationship of higher education toward the business sector, and small firms in particular. The wider context of the changes taking place within higher education are discussed. This is followed by the initial findings from a recently completed research project for the Council for Industry and Higher Education which investigated the foremost components in ‘best practice’ interactions and linkages between small firms and universities in the North East of England. Some preliminary ideas are suggested on how best practice can be further facilitated. These proposals are then interpreted in terms of the operational implications for universities and other strategic organizations involved in building linkages with small firms.

The Relationship

In recent years, a number of trends have concurrently contributed to promote collaboration between institutions of higher education and small businesses in the United States. These trends include academic institutions’ need for new sources of revenue, students’ growing interest in careers in business, increased media attention to entrepreneurship and small business, and industrialists’ search for a competitively advantageous position. The outcome of these relationships has been positive for both parties. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to examine the diverse relationships between colleges and universities and the small business sector that currently exist in the United States. The findings of this paper focus on (1) how the relationships between U.S. institutions of higher education and small businesses have been institutionalized, (2) types of research methodologies used in the analysis of these relationships, and (3) the identification of specific areas for further research.

Dutch City

This paper explores the relationship between education and labour market positioning in The Hague, a Dutch city with a unique labour market. One of the main minority groups, Turkish-Dutch, is the focus in this qualitative study on higher educated minorities and their labour market success. Interviews reveal that the obstacles the respondents face are linked to discrimination and network limitation. The respondents perceive “personal characteristics” as the most important tool to overcoming the obstacles. Education does not only increase their professional skills, but also widens their networks. The Dutch education system facilitates the chances of minorities in higher education through the “layering” of degrees.

The Relationship

Nature and environment are important for the people earning their living from natural sources of livelihood. This article concentrates on the local perspective of the landscape in the Pallastunturi Fells, which are situated in Pallas-Ylläs National Park in Finnish Lapland. The Fells are both important pastures for reindeer and an old tourism area. The Pallastunturi Tourist Hotel is situated inside the national park because the hotel was built before the park was established 1938. Until the 1960s, the relationship between tourism and reindeer herding had been harmonious because the tourism activities did not disturb the reindeer herding, but offered instead ways to earn money by transporting the tourists from the main road to the hotel, which had been previously without any road connections. During recent years, tourism has been developed as the main source of livelihood in Lapland and huge investments have been made in several parts of Lapland. One example of this type of investment is the plan to replace the old Pallas Tourist hotel, which was built in 1948, with a newer and bigger one. It means that the state will allow a private enterprise to build more infrastructures for tourism inside a national park where nature should be protected and this has sparked a heated debate. Those who oppose the project criticise this proposal as the amendment of a law designed to promote the economic interests of one private tourism enterprise. The project's supporters claim that the needs of the tourism industry and nature protection can both be promoted and that it is important to develop a tourist centre which is already situated within the national park. This article is an attempt to try to shed light on why the local people are so loudly resisting the plans by a private tourism enterprise to touch the national park. It is based on my fieldwork among reindeer herding families in the area.

<?page nr="1"?>Abstract This article investigates the ways in which service-learning manifests within our neoliberal clime, suggesting that service-learning amounts to a foil for neoliberalism, allowing neoliberal political and economic changes while masking their damaging effects. Neoliberalism shifts the relationship between the public and the private, structures higher education, and promotes a façade of community-based university partnerships while facilitating a pervasive regime of control. This article demonstrates that service-learning amounts to an enigma of neoliberalism, making possible the privatization of the public and the individualizing of social problems while masking evidence of market-based societal control. Neoliberal service-learning distances service from teaching and learning, allows market forces to shape university-community partnerships, and privatizes the public through dispossession by accumulation.
