In the modern era, food mingled with culture and cultural subsets are one of the major tools for tourism destination marketing. Food, culture and tourism have the similar attributes that has formed a gastronomical trilogy differentiating traditional destination marketing from the modern day’s destination marketing. The gastronomical trilogy can be defined as a group of similar attributes forming a triangle where each one of them are dependent with each other and the role played by each one is influenced by the other. Hence in this paper, a strong relationship and dependency has been derived among food, culture and tourism for enhancement of destination development and marketing.

Diversity management is a process that create and maintain positive work environment where the similarities and differences of individuals are valued. However, every employer or employee at some point will encounter some problems at their work place. Our group has decided to choose Johor Ship Care Sdn Bhd to research about some of the problems face by the organization and to provide relevant solutions based on the problems. The reason behind choosing this company is because the information was easily accessible and it is a well-known company in the state of Johor. Moreover, the methodology used by our group is interview and we found out that the company faces several serious problems among the organization. One of the problems encounter by this company is high stress jobs. This problem is related to a theory, known as job demand-control (JDC) model. Secondly, employees are not getting enough motivation to succeed in their performance. Lastly, job satisfaction that refers to unhappy or negative feelings about the work and work environment. The factors that lead to the job satisfaction will be explained further in the report. In conclusion, our group has come up with several recommendations that helps the company to solve those problems. The management and employees have to prioritize and plan the most important task in an organized way to reduce stress.

多样性管理是一个创造和维持积极的工作环境的过程,在这种环境中,个人的异同受到重视。然而,每个雇主或雇员在某些时候都会在他们的工作场所遇到一些问题。我们小组决定选择Johor Ship Care Sdn Bhd来研究该组织面临的一些问题,并根据问题提供相关的解决方案。选择这家公司的原因是因为信息很容易获取,而且它是柔佛州的一家知名公司。此外,我们小组使用的方法是访谈,我们发现公司在组织中面临着几个严重的问题。这家公司遇到的问题之一是工作压力大。这个问题与一个理论有关,称为工作需求控制(JDC)模型。其次,员工没有获得足够的动力来取得成功。最后,工作满意度指的是对工作和工作环境的不开心或消极的感觉。导致工作满意度的因素将在报告中进一步解释。总之,我们小组提出了一些建议来帮助公司解决这些问题。管理层和员工必须以有组织的方式优先考虑和计划最重要的任务,以减少压力。此外,管理层必须授权和提供更多的晋升机会来激励员工。最后但并非最不重要的是,工作满意度可以通过提供积极的工作环境,奖励和认可雇主和员工来提高。

Taobao is a Chinese online shopping website, headquartered in Hangzhou, and owned by Alibaba. It is the world's biggest e-commerce website and the seventh most visited website according to Alexa. Taobao is the biggest consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce platform based in China. You can get clothes, accessories, gadgets and even computer hardware at very low prices. However, because the website is 100% in Chinese, this may be a barrier to those who want to shop but can’t make heads or tails navigating through the shopping process. Nowadays, Taobao has developed their business to international level. They start to provide international services to other countries other than China. Although the international services did provide convenience to people around the world, it did cause some inconvenience issues too. We are going to do research on those issues. The issues we found are in the area of language, logistic, scamming issues, purchasing issues and parcel tracking issues. For example, Taobao uses only chinese in their webpages, this makes those potential customers who can’t read the language cannot purchase things in Taobao. By doing this research, we manage to know how these issues affect the total sales of Taobao and how Taobao overcome these issues.
