Study Approach

Organizations have adopted business intelligence solutions with a mixed degree of benefits. Some businesses highlight significant outcomes, while others identify limitations or shortfalls in the benefits derived. Notably, the alignment of business strategy with the adoption of business intelligence processes has been an important predictor of firms being able to achieve organizational wide benefits. The chapter uses a case study approach to document the informational needs achieved through aligning organizational strategy and the adoption of business intelligence solution at two distinct companies. The adoption approaches used by each firm, although different, reflect the important areas in which business intelligence is most useful—strategic alignment, governance, and information presentation.

Purpose Lanzarote, Spain, as a tourism destination, suffered a rapid tourist expansion for many years, and this has endangered its sustainability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the case of overtourism and its consequences for the local population and the environment, and to identify ways to mitigate this issue. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a case study approach. Data obtained from tourists visiting the destination were used to examine three key aspects of tourism development, namely, the arrival of tourists to the island, the accommodation offer and the growth of the population. Social awareness with environmental values and protection of the island’s natural resources were the main engine to establish measures to mitigate overtourism. Findings The analysis shows rapid growth in the arrival of tourists to the island and how it affected the accommodation offer and the population. It explores the solution that the authorities of the island took to solve the problem of disorganized growth of tourism and makes reference to the importance of managing the image of a destination to contribute to tourism sustainability. Originality/value This research proposes practical solutions to tackle overtourism at a destination which has been used by the United Nations as an example to establish sustainable tourism development guidelines. It proposes a unique mitigation strategy which is derived from the use of natural recreation.

Key Aspects

The collaborative process is a key element of the communicative-based planning. This process requires participations, equality of power, as well as adequate competence of the actors who engage the process. This condition seems difficult to occur in the societies, especially those in developing countries, in which people’s participation, equality of power, and competence are considered low (uncollaborative society). The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the collaborative process can occur or not in the context of such societies.  The empirical investigation was conducted by using the qualitative research methods with a case study approach to sidewalk vendors arrangement planning at Banjarsari, Surakarta City. It shows that the planning involves the collaborative process stages and authentic dialogue, which are the key aspects of collaborative process.

The paper used the case study approach to report on how a Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) company developed their Business Intelligence strategy. Many companies are aware of the benefits that Business Intelligence brings to the corporation— however struggle to have an appropriate or well defined strategy. The authors document in the paper how the company experienced limited benefits with their initial Business Intelligence implementation— however, the subsequent development of a Business Intelligence strategy allowed the firm to redress initial project short-comings across several business areas. The company's Business Intelligence strategy included elements that directly addressed governance and resource management, business technology alignment, innovation and skills capability. The research investigated the experiences of a global FMCG company regarding their Business Intelligence use and the findings may not be generalizable.

Migration Research

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration—or potential emigration—offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S.-based researcher.  International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.
