En la actualidad, una de las fórmulas de gestión de destinos consideradas como más adecuadas para garantizar el desarrollo sostenible y competitivo del turismo son las DMO público-privadas. Sin embargo, la gestión del turismo a través de DMO público-privadas no es una cuestión extendida, ni siquiera en las ciudades más visitadas del mundo. Este tipo de entidades debe caracterizarse por una menor dependencia del sector público a nivel organizativo, presupuestario y de toma de decisiones, considerándose como una alternativa para dar solución al problema de financiación al que se enfrenta la gestión de los destinos. Por ello, resulta interesante conocer cómo se financian las DMO de algunas de las ciudades más visitadas del mundo, valorando así su idoneidad de acuerdo con lo establecido por la literatura científica. Así como tratar de entender la razón de su comportamiento, estudiando si tienen asumidas las ventajas e inconvenientes de las diferentes fuentes de financiación. Currently, one of the management destinations formulas considered as the most adequate to guarantee the sustainable and competitive development of tourism are public-private DMO. However, tourism management through public-private DMO is not a widespread issue, even in all the most visited cities in the world. This type of entities must be characterized by a lower dependence on the public sector at an organizational, budgetary and decision-making level, being considered as an alternative to solve the financing problem faced by destination management. Therefore, it is interesting to know how the DMO of the most visited cities in the world are financed, thus assessing their suitability according to what is established by the scientific literature. As well as trying to understand the reason of their behavior, studying whether they have assumed the advantages and disadvantages of different sources of funding.

As If

Nigeria, like most countries around the world, has turned to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to finance its infrastructure deficit. However, it appears that the government of Nigeria looks towards PPPs as the major solution to the country’s infrastructure crisis. In a sense PPPs are being sold to the public as if they were free, that the private sector would come in with its funds, provide the desired services and that the problem with the country’s infrastructure would automatically cease. This paper argues that this supposition is a myth and that the role of PPPs in the provision of public infrastructure is more nuanced than is being bandied around. PPPs are not the panacea to all of the country’s infrastructure problems and also are far from being completely free. It is however the case that if appropriately deployed, in most cases PPPs provide some advantages over conventional public sector procurements. This paper explores the different advantages and disadvantages of PPPs and suggests ways in which PPPs may be effectively used to improve the country’s infrastructure with reduced fiscal exposure to government.

Guerrilla Marketing

Environment becomes major concern for all countries throughout the world since Sustainable Development Goals were promoted. However the target is impossible to achieve without awareness and participation of the public. Promoting environmental sustainability is difficult and costly, therefore a breakthrough is required. The concept of guerrilla marketing has been widely used and recognized as low cost, but effective marketing strategy, therefore it is also an appropriate innovative way of promoting environmental sustainability in public area. This study explores the successful application of guerrilla marketing for promoting environmental sustainability around the world. Three case studies were chosen to figure out how it works. The successful applications confirm that guerrilla campaign for sustainability needs element of humour, uniqueness, sensation, creativity, surprise and education. Both profit and non-profit organizations can achieve their goal in both effective and efficient way when they know how to apply guerrilla marketing properly

This paper was designed in order to know how far skills needed for the future manager (according to the literature) correspond to what managers' students perceive as important, and how courses of a management training program perceived contributing in performing a managerial job effectively. Data were collected from a sample of 190 managers from the public sector, who participated in the Bar Ilan University (Israel), managerial training program, from 1986/87 to 1989/90. The participants were requested to complete an attitude survey questionnaire. Findings largely reflect the world of the future manager mentioned in the literature. As regarding the usefulness of the managerial training program to job performance, findings indicate that the management training program correspond only partially to what is needed for performing one's job effectively. Too much time was devoted to transmitting knowledge rather than indoctrinating skills.

The People’s Republic of China’s dramatic transformation has not only benefited its people, but has also led it to become a major player in the world. Here we examine how deeply perceptions of China have penetrated into the public’s perceptions in a wide variety of nations around the world – the US, 11 nations in East Asia, and 22 in Latin America. We ask a series of questions: how much do people know? How do Americans evaluate China? And how do publics in East Asia and Latin America view China’s influence in their nations and around the world? We also examine some of the ways in which perceptions vary, both across nations and within nations, such as by partisanship. In addition, we report the results of an experiment using an advertisement the PRC ran in the US to assess how successful they were in shaping public opinion about China. We conclude that our studies, and those of others, provide a strong baseline for assessing the effect of an emerging superpower on citizens around the world.

“All in a Garden Green”: Shakespeare's Staging of Garden Imagery

This essay draws attention to the surprising lack of scholarship on the staging of garden scenes in Shakespeare's oeuvre. In particular, it explores how garden scenes promote collaborative acts of audience agency and present new renditions of the familiar early modern contrast between the public and the private. Too often the mention of Shakespeare's gardens calls to mind literal rather than literary interpretations: the work of garden enthusiasts like Henry Ellacombe, Eleanour Sinclair Rohde, and Caroline Spurgeon, who present their copious gatherings of plant and flower references as proof that Shakespeare was a garden lover, or the many “Shakespeare Gardens” around the world, bringing to life such lists of plant references. This essay instead seeks to locate Shakespeare's garden imagery within a literary tradition more complex than these literalizations of Shakespeare's “flowers” would suggest. To stage a garden during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries signified much more than a personal affinity for the green world; it served as a way of engaging time-honored literary comparisons between poetic forms, methods of audience interaction, and types of media. Through its metaphoric evocation of the commonplace tradition, in which flowers double as textual cuttings to be picked, revised, judged, and displayed, the staged garden offered a way to dramatize the tensions produced by creative practices involving collaborative composition and audience agency.

The new SARS-CoV-2 belonging to the coronaviruses family has caused a pandemic affecting millions of people around the world. This pandemic has been declared by the World Health Organization as an international public health emergency. Although several clinical trials involving a large number of drugs are currently underway, no treatment protocol for COVID-19 has been officially approved so far. Here we demonstrate through a search in the scientific literature that the traditional Moroccan pharmacopoeia, which includes more than 500 medicinal plants, is a fascinating and promising source for the research of natural molecules active against SARS-CoV-2. Multiple in-silico and in-vitro studies showed that some of the medicinal plants used by Moroccans for centuries possess inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2. These inhibitory activities are achieved through the different molecular mechanisms of virus penetration and replication, or indirectly through stimulation of immunity. Thus, the potential of plants, plant extracts and molecules derived from plants that are traditionally used in Morocco and have activity against SARS-CoV-2, could be explored in the search for a preventive or curative treatment against COVID-19. Furthermore, safe plants or plant extracts that are proven to stimulate immunity could be officially recommended by governments as nutritional supplements.
