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.

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.

The Impact

In a general sense, the hotel infrastructure is a component of tourism, and its quality forms and affects the level of service and integrated development of tourism and its products. The material basis of hotels and their network is clearly correlated with the determinism of the impact on tourist flows, the number of visitors to the regions, which generates new volumes and financial revenues to them. On the other hand, tourism and the tourism market account for a significant share of the economy of many countries, and one of the features of this business is the direct subordination and interdependence of tourism infrastructure (including hotel), travel agents and contractors, their impact on society, political conditions, features and trends in different time slices.

Mosque institution is an important Islamic center in the context of development and management of Islamic affairs since the advent of Islam to this day. Islamic history proves that the mosque is not just a special place for worship as it is also an operational center for baitulmal related affairs especially which are involving the zakat management. In Malaysia, the jurisdiction of Islamic affairs including zakat is under the power and administration of the State Islamic Religious Council. The privatization transformation and centralization of zakat institutions is seen to have some impact on the role of mosque institutions in zakat management. Therefore, this study will identify zakat management practices of mosque institutions in Selangor. This study will also evaluate zakat management practices in mosques related to the collection and distribution of zakat in Selangor. This study uses a qualitative approach that includes documentation method in the data collection process. The findings show that zakat management practices of mosque institutions in the state of Selangor are more focused on the opening of LZS Mini Zakat Counter as an initiative and progressive step in the implementation and management of zakat. Further study on zakat governance models in mosque institutions need to be carried out to provide a model that can be implemented to enhance the zakat management system in Malaysia. ABSTRAK Institusi masjid merupakan pusat Islam yang amat penting dalam konteks pembangunan dan pengurusan hal ehwal agama Islam sejak zaman kedatangan Islam sehingga ke hari ini. Sejarah Islam membuktikan bahawa masjid bukan sahaja khusus sebagai tempat ibadah malah menjadi pusat operasi hal ehwal berkaitan baitulmal khususnya yang melibatkan pengurusan zakat. Di Malaysia, bidang kuasa hal ehwal Islam termasuk zakat adalah terletak di bawah kuasa dan pentadbiran Majlis Agama Islam Negeri. Transformasi penswastaan dan pemusatan institusi zakat dilihat sedikit sebanyak memberi kesan terhadap peranan institusi masjid dalam pengurusan zakat. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan mengenal pasti amalan pengurusan zakat di institusi masjid di Selangor. Kajian juga akan menilai amalan pengurusan zakat di masjid yang berkaitan dengan kutipan dan agihan zakat di Selangor. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang meliputi kaedah dokumentasi dalam proses pengumpulan data. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa amalan pengurusan zakat di institusi masjid di negeri Selangor lebih menumpukan kepada usaha pembukaan Kaunter Mini Zakat LZS sebagai inisiatif dan langkah progresif dalam pelaksanaan dan pengurusan zakat. Kajian lanjutan berkenaan model tadbir urus zakat di institusi masjid perlu dijalankan bagi menyediakan satu model yang boleh diimplementasikan demi memperkasakan sistem pengurusan zakat di Malaysia.
