Farai Chigora, E. Mutambara, J. Ndlovu, J. Muzurura, P. Zvavahera
The study investigated the contribution of local communities to Zimbabwe tourism destination brand equity through sustainable tourism practices, with a view of developing a model. A comparative investigation of two popular resorts in Zimbabwe which are Victoria Falls and Domboshava Curves was carried out. A sequential mixed method was used to get research data. Results from in-depth interviews showed that sustainable brand equity through community involvement can be developed from the following: maintaining culture; attractive traditional villages; traditional music and dances; unique traditional dressing; provision of indigenous food and drinks; guiding tourists and provision of transport and accommodation. A further survey then produced variables that were used to construct a community based sustainable brand equity model for the study. These variables were then grouped into two that is, household activities and service provision. Household activities included: providing indigenous food and drinks; attractive homesteads; and unique dress code. The service provision was discovered as guiding tourists in their activities and provision of transport. The study then recommended local eco-responsibility, destination manager partner with locals, cultural tourism focus and customisation of sustainable tourism.
本研究调查了当地社区通过可持续旅游实践对津巴布韦旅游目的地品牌资产的贡献,以期建立一个模型。对津巴布韦的两个热门度假胜地维多利亚瀑布和Domboshava曲线进行了比较调查。采用顺序混合法获取研究数据。深度访谈的结果表明,通过社区参与实现可持续的品牌资产可以从以下几个方面发展:维护文化;迷人的传统村落;传统音乐和舞蹈;独特的传统装扮;提供土著食品和饮料;指导游客,提供交通和住宿。然后,进一步的调查产生了用于构建基于社区的可持续品牌资产模型的变量。然后将这些变量分为两个,即家庭活动和服务提供。家庭活动包括:提供土著食物和饮料;有吸引力的家园;还有独特的着装要求。服务提供被发现为引导游客的活动和提供交通。然后,研究建议了当地的生态责任,目的地管理者与当地人合作,文化旅游重点和可持续旅游的定制化。

Entrepreneurial Resources as a Driver of Performance Differences in a Quick Service Restaurant Franchise System 创业资源对快餐厅加盟体系绩效差异的驱动作用
John R. Marks, Eli Golovey
This study explored performance differences between corporate-owned and operated and franchised outlets in the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry. While studies have shown that there is a performance difference favouring franchisees, the reasons for this difference have not been explained. Using the Resource-Based View of the Firm, the operational differences between two ownership modes within the same franchise ecosystem were assessed. The study used qualitative data collected from twenty interviews with a broad range of stakeholders across a single South Africa quick-service restaurant brand that included company-owned and operated stores and franchised operations. The study identified a range of performance factors: franchisee motivation, franchisee empowerment and flexibility, manager focus, opportunity realisation, corporate rigidity and tactical restaurant management that contribute to enhancing the entrepreneurial resources and orientation that, along with strategic flexibility, provide franchisees with a performance advantage. This study has implications for those in the QSR sector and the hospitality industry in general, detailing what drives or hinders firm performance. This research has value for theoreticians in its novel application of the Resource-Based View of the Firm theory to a franchise-based entrepreneurial environment.
本研究探讨了快餐店(QSR)行业中企业自营店和特许经营店的绩效差异。虽然有研究表明,特许经营商在业绩上存在差异,但造成这种差异的原因尚未得到解释。利用公司的资源基础观点,评估了同一特许经营生态系统中两种所有权模式之间的运营差异。该研究使用了定性数据,这些数据收集自对南非单一快餐店品牌的广泛利益相关者的20次访谈,包括公司拥有和经营的商店和特许经营。该研究确定了一系列绩效因素:加盟商动机、加盟商授权和灵活性、经理关注、机会实现、企业刚性和战术餐厅管理,这些因素有助于增强创业资源和方向,与战略灵活性一起,为加盟商提供绩效优势。这项研究对QSR行业和整个酒店业都有启示,详细说明了推动或阻碍公司绩效的因素。本研究将企业理论中的资源基础观点新颖地应用于以特许经营为基础的创业环境,对理论工作者具有重要价值。

Adaptation of the Delphi Technique for Electronic Application in the Food Industry 德尔菲技术在食品工业电子应用中的应用
H. Fisher, Alet C. Erasmus, Annemarie Viljeon
Researchers often depend on humans to share their opinions, perceptions, experiences, or expertise concerning particular matters, which is a daunting task. As the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) continues to change the way we do things, electronic data collection is becoming a more viable alternative considering consumers' increased competence with modern technology. An electronic application of the Delphi technique that originated as a face-to-face or 'pen-and-paper' research technique is hereby presented as an up-to-date methodology and data collection tool that potentially holds many advantages across diverse disciplines. In the very dynamic foods and hospitality industry, where employment entails long and unconventional working hours, it is particularly challenging to pin employees down to participate in traditional data collection procedures where they are expected to complete tasks at specific times. An electronic application of the Delphi technique offers employees the opportunity to make valuable contributions to research in their own time and at their own pace. This paper reports on a successful electronic application of a classic Delphi procedure, involving South African food industry specialists, reflecting on the local context, aiming to optimize their expertise to elicit a context-specific definition for Food Literacy with all the associated dimensions.
研究人员经常依靠人类来分享他们对特定问题的看法、看法、经验或专业知识,这是一项艰巨的任务。随着第四次工业革命(4IR)的影响不断改变我们的做事方式,考虑到消费者对现代技术的掌握能力不断提高,电子数据收集正成为一种更可行的选择。德尔菲技术的电子应用起源于面对面或“纸笔”研究技术,在此作为一种最新的方法和数据收集工具提出,它可能在不同学科中具有许多优势。在非常活跃的食品和酒店行业,就业需要长时间和非常规的工作时间,使员工参与传统的数据收集程序尤其具有挑战性,因为他们被期望在特定时间完成任务。德尔福技术的电子应用为员工提供了在自己的时间和节奏中为研究做出有价值贡献的机会。本文报告了经典德尔菲程序的成功电子应用,涉及南非食品行业专家,反映当地情况,旨在优化他们的专业知识,以引出具有所有相关维度的特定背景的食品素养定义。

Evaluation of Government Responses and Measures on COVID-19 in the Tourism Sector: A Case of Tour Guides in South Africa 旅游业应对新冠肺炎政府措施评价——以南非导游为例
Jabulani C. Nyawo
The aim of this paper was to explore and evaluate the support mechanisms or measures that the South African government has put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic for tour guides within the tourism sector. This was a non-empirical study, which used an exploratory research design. The study employed document analysis to gather the data, and discourse analysis was utilized to analyze the collected data. This study findings indicate that the government responses and measures assisted numerous tour guides during the lockdown period. Furthermore, the results showed that the tourism sector continues to be severely affected as the government has only recently allowed some business travel and leisure tourism. The study recommends that the government and other tourism stakeholders place new standards to reassure domestic and international travellers' safety so that the tour guides could generate income and avoid possible business closure in this tourism sub-sector.
本文的目的是探索和评估南非政府在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间为旅游部门导游制定的支持机制或措施。本研究为非实证研究,采用探索性研究设计。本研究采用文献分析法收集数据,运用语篇分析法对收集到的数据进行分析。这一研究结果表明,在封锁期间,政府的应对和措施帮助了许多导游。此外,调查结果显示,旅游业继续受到严重影响,因为政府最近才允许部分商务旅行和休闲旅游。该研究建议政府和其他旅游业利益相关者制定新的标准,以确保国内和国际游客的安全,这样导游就可以创造收入,避免这个旅游细分行业可能出现的业务关闭。

Early Prediction of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Computational Approaches to fMRI Analysis with Early Learning Technique 基于早期学习技术的fMRI分析计算方法对自闭症谱系障碍的早期预测
K. P., Yasir Babiker Hamdan, Sathish
The neuro imaging developmental classification studies are undergone with small amount of samples from the brain activity samples. It promises the inspiring complications in high dimensional data analysis. Autism prediction methodologies are based on behavioral function alone previously which provides good precision but repossession will be unfortunate. We address those problems for early prediction of autism with neural development modern techniques and compared with older. Moreover, visualization of brain activities is quite important in neuro imaging. We believe in better visualization and classification of neuro images in early month captures and appended of Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is one of the controlling tools for measuring non-invasively measure brain activity and it provides with good resolution. For high resolution of brain activity, fMRI gives better than electro encephalon graph (EEG). Visualization of brain activity very clearly is first step to recognize the faults of autism. We have taken into the account for predicting in early Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with help of multiple behavioral activities and development measures using machine learning algorithm. The prediction methods are examined with mostly many prediction methods start to examine the neuro imaging with ultra-high risk factors. The prediction of ASD is moderate accuracy in 14 month development measures from multiple time points. In this proposed work, Mullen early prediction is appended for early prediction and it is examined with computational approach to fMRI analysis with adaptive functioning classifier for machine learning algorithm. This proposed algorithm provides improved version of classification in machine languages with MSEL and high accuracy with conservative methods.
神经成像发育分类研究是用少量脑活动样本进行的。它承诺在高维数据分析的鼓舞人心的复杂性。自闭症的预测方法以前仅基于行为功能,这提供了良好的精度,但收回将是不幸的。我们用神经发育的现代技术解决了这些问题,并与以前的技术进行了比较。此外,大脑活动的可视化在神经成像中非常重要。我们相信在早期月捕获和附加的马伦早期学习量表(MSEL)的神经图像更好的可视化和分类。功能磁共振成像(fMRI)是一种无创测量脑活动的控制工具,具有良好的分辨率。对于脑活动的高分辨率,功能磁共振成像(fMRI)优于脑电图(EEG)。大脑活动的可视化是识别自闭症缺陷的第一步。我们利用机器学习算法的多种行为活动和发展措施来预测早期自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)。目前对预测方法的研究主要集中在对具有超高危险因素的神经影像学进行预测。从多个时间点进行14个月的发展测量,预测ASD的准确性中等。在这项工作中,马伦早期预测被附加到早期预测中,并通过计算方法对机器学习算法的自适应功能分类器进行fMRI分析。该算法为机器语言分类提供了改进版本,具有MSEL和保守方法的高准确率。

Effect of Food Safety and Management Commitment on Customer Choice of Dining Destination in Kenya 食品安全和管理承诺对肯尼亚消费者餐饮目的地选择的影响
Bichage Gesage, E. O. Fwaya, Robert Orenge Ondara
This finding challenges the existing view of the glass ceiling and how women should be attempting to shatter it. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of food safety and moderating effect of management commitment on customer choice of dining destination in Kenya. A cross-sectional research design was used which involved both descriptive and inferential statistic. The study used complete enumeration method to select 27, 4 and 5 Hotels in Kenya. 1080 respondents Managers head chefs and guests were sampled. Guests were sampled based on bed occupancy calculated at 49%. Managers and chefs were Purposively sampled while simple random sampling was used to select the guests. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data. The hypotheses were tested at 5% level of significance the result indicated that food safety, monitoring and surveillance systems had a significant relationship in determining destination choice (p-values 0.005 and 0.044). For the indirect effects regression analysis, top management commitment was found to have a moderating influence on the relationship between food safety and customer destination choice (p-value = 0.004). The predictor variable explained only 55.4% of the total variations in the choice of dining destinations ( R2 = 0.554). Based on these findings, this study recommends that although this study provided unique insights into the link between food safety, monitoring and top management commitment, its conceptual and empirical setting had a number of limitations. This can be used as a source of future study.
这一发现挑战了现有的关于玻璃天花板的观点,以及女性应该如何努力打破它。本研究的目的是确定食品安全的影响和调节作用的管理承诺对顾客的餐饮目的地选择在肯尼亚。采用横断面研究设计,包括描述性和推断性统计。本研究采用完全枚举法,选取肯尼亚27家、4家和5家酒店,对1080名受访经理、主厨和客人进行抽样调查。根据49%的床位占用率对客人进行抽样调查。经理和厨师是有目的的抽样,而客人是简单的随机抽样。使用问卷调查和访谈表来收集数据。假设在5%显著性水平上进行检验,结果表明食品安全、监测和监督系统在决定目的地选择方面具有显著关系(p值分别为0.005和0.044)。间接效应回归分析发现,最高管理者承诺对食品安全与顾客目的地选择的关系具有调节作用(p值= 0.004)。预测变量只能解释55.4%的餐饮目的地选择的总变化(R2 = 0.554)。基于这些发现,本研究认为,尽管本研究对食品安全、监控和最高管理者承诺之间的联系提供了独特的见解,但其概念和实证设置存在一些局限性。这可以作为未来研究的一个来源。

Exploring Air Namibia’s Operational Efficiency: The Interface Between Strategy and the Six Pillars of the Organisation 探索纳米比亚航空公司的运营效率:战略与组织六大支柱之间的接口
Ndapanda Joanna Hamatwi, K. Govender
This study aimed to determine the interface between strategy and the six pillars, namely, structure, people, systems, processes, technology and innovation, in order to establish key factors contributing to the operational challenges being faced by Air Namibia. A qualitative study was conducted among a purposive sample of executives at Air Namibia using an exploratory design. The data was analysed using the thematic method. Exacerbated by the grounding of aircrafts due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Air Namibia’s strategy, resources, processes and systems contributed its operational inefficiency. The leadership of airlines in general and Air Namibia in particular, need to be fully cognizant of the importance of strategic planning and developing structures, systems and processes which will mitigate any micro and macro-economic disruptions on business operations. Since there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to crisis management, airline boards, executives and managers should consider their unique position and needs in strategizing how to survive and grow following a macro-economic.
本研究旨在确定战略与六个支柱(即结构、人员、系统、流程、技术和创新)之间的接口,以便确定导致纳米比亚航空面临业务挑战的关键因素。采用探索性设计,对纳米比亚航空公司的高管进行了一项定性研究。使用专题方法对数据进行分析。由于Covid-19大流行导致飞机停飞,纳米比亚航空的战略、资源、流程和系统导致其运营效率低下。一般航空公司,特别是纳米比亚航空公司的领导必须充分认识到战略规划和发展结构、系统和程序的重要性,这些结构、系统和程序将减轻对商业运作的任何微观和宏观经济干扰。由于没有“放之四海而均准”的危机管理方法,航空公司董事会、高管和经理们在制定如何在宏观经济形势下生存和发展的战略时,应该考虑自己的独特地位和需求。
