Common Understanding

Tourism, and especially regional tourism, is facing the same challenges that have emerged in most industry sectors as a result of online technology availability. There are concerns that access to tourism products are likely to be impeded if online technologies are not effectively employed by the whole tourism industry in Australia. A common understanding of the purpose of engaging online is critical to the development of sustainable models for regional tourism organisations. This paper discusses a case where FRANK (The Framework of Regional Tourism and Network Knowledge) was used to help a tourism organisation describe their approach to E-business development. The framework emerges from the four considerations discussed in this paper: governance, value adding, positioning and evaluation.

Further, the authors consider the need of tourism industry adaptation to new conditions, provide examples of modern tourism development, and identify areas that are most promising in terms of restoring the sector in the post-pandemic period.

“The internet dilemma” was the concept used to describe luxury brand companies' initial reluctance to integrate online technologies into their business model. However, over time, luxury brand companies have understood that moving towards digital transformation is the only way to survive on the market and appeal to the new luxury brand consumers. In a few years, digitalisation has become a priority for all luxury brand companies that started to integrate digital and physical platforms to engage consumers through all touchpoints of their shopping journey. In light of the topic's relevance and considering the primary focus of research on consumers, this chapter aims to deepen the digitalisation phenomenon in the luxury market involving the little-explored luxury brand managers' perspective. The authors conducted a longitudinal study to compare the main changes in integrating digital and physical platforms from the managers' perspective between 2014 and 2020. In this endeavour, they also considered how the COVID-19 pandemic had affected luxury brand companies' digitalisation.

Social Messaging

With the vast advances in computer, mobile, and online technologies, visibility into an offender’s thought processes and decision-making trajectory has been markedly enhanced. Digital behavioral artifacts, or digital evidence “breadcrumbs” of an offender’s behaviors, are now often left in publicly accessible locations on the Internet—such as social media platforms and social messaging applications—and in locations not privy to the public—such as the offender’s devices. Importantly, early seminal literature introduced and described examining an offender’s actions as series of steps along a path of threat escalation, or “pathway.” The totality of these emerging digital behavioral artifacts allows investigators to piece together an offender’s behavioral mosaic at a much more intimate and granular level, warranting a revised pathway—the cyber pathway to intended violence (CPIV)—that captures the thoughts and actions of an offender leading up to an act of deliberative, predatory violence. This chapter introduces the emerging discipline of Digital Behavioral Criminalistics and how this process can meaningfully be used by threat assessors to elucidate an offender’s steps on the CPIV.

Their dealing with the crisis and their perception of their own organizational resilience is explored. It uses a qualitative exploratory approach with semi-structured interviews to answer the research question. The most surprising result of the interviews was the optimistic state of mind visible among entrepreneurs. In this study, a better understanding of the tourism industry's dealing with a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic is created.
