In today’s global and highly competitive business world what essentially differentiates one organization from another are the people who work there. Regardless of the technological advantages of a hotel or a travel agency, the people, their development, motivation and satisfaction are key factors for success on the market. Therefore, many hotels started applying competency models to determine skills, knowledge and personal characteristics needed for good business performance. The advantages of this model are also reflected in the recruitment, selection, training, development, promotion, performance evaluation, and rewarding employees. The emphasis is on the selection of career advancement criteria by the multi-criteria decision-making process, the essence of which is to identify all available criteria for comparing possible alternatives, to compare all the alternatives according to the selected criteria, and thus to choose the most favourable alternative. The aim of the research is to develop a software package that will, based on executive manager’s selection in a hotel and a travel agency, present specific steps of business decision-making application in the field of human resources. The AHP method is used to conduct a weight analysis of professional competencies prioritized for future reference in terms of career advancement. Sampling methods for data collection from eight top hotel managers and five travel agency managers are used for the purpose of this paper, as well as qualitative and quantitative surveys including interviews and questionnaire. A detailed case study illustrates the application of the proposed evaluation system for management staff advancement in tourism and hotel industry. The estimated results show that the most important criterion is professional knowledge, followed by business planning and subsequently team work and foreign language skills.This solution is general and can also be applied in candidates ranking for employment, promotion or training.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of certain characteristics of family business decision-making processes (customer orientation and open and negotiating family decision-making styles) to business and family goal achievement as mediated by emotions (family supportiveness). We undertook this study to better understand why certain family businesses make consistently better decisions than others, leading them to earn more money and have family members who are happier in their home lives. Decision theory undergirded the study development. The sample consisted of 277 family business owners, and the data are from the National Family Business Panel data set. Our results showed that if the business owners focused on customer satisfaction and product quality when making decisions, they tended to make more money and tended to be happier at home. If families made business decisions in open and negotiating ways, their members were happier about their decisions because they felt supported by the other family members. Furthermore, family members who felt good about the support they got from their family members in their business decision-making were also happier in their home lives in general.

The visualisation of information for business decision-making is a relatively understudied area despite the promising benefits. Previous research confirms the value of information visualisation. Still, the mechanisms of the impacts on the quality of information are poorly understood. Therefore, the authors examine the impact of the quality and quantity of information visualisation on the quality of the content and access to information among different types of users and for various types of use. The results show the varying importance of the quality and quantity of visualisation for the quality of information and that there are statistically significant differences between groups of decision-makers and decision-making in various situations. Information visualisation adjustments for different user perceptual types and for various business decision-making situations can increase the quality of information and potentially lead to the faster and more accurate receipt and processing of business information.

Experts who deal with the essence of communication businesses in the theoretical and practical sense, point out the fact that the process of business communication, at the beginning of the third millennium, conceptually and substantively, has changed greatly. These changes are of a technological nature, but also have a specific political, economic, social, cultural, psychological and any other relevant definition. This paper points to a paradigm shift in the application of information and communication technologies, which is happening due to explosion of technology in society and the impact of globalization on modern business communication. Recomposing the worldview and applying new methods and content is necessary to obtain the relevant effects of business communication. The business world challenges us to use business communication by applying information and communication technologies in the way of the 21st century, not so much in the use of technology, but in the attitudes that shape its use.
