AN EXPLORATORY RESEARCH PAPER TITLED

“INTRAPRENEURSHIP IN TOURISM”

ABSTRACT

This paper contributes to the development of the theory of Intrapreneurship in relation to tourism by clarifying the Intrapreneurship concept. Intrapreneurship refers to employee initiatives in organizations to undertake something new, without being asked to do so. Major activities related to Intrapreneurship include opportunity perception, idea generation, designing a new product/service or another recombination of resources, internal coalition building, persuading the management, resource acquisition, planning and organizing. Some commendable research work is done in this field clarifying the concept of Intrapreneurship e.g. Intrapreneurship: Conceptualizing intrapreneurial employee behaviour by Jeroen de Jong & Sander Wennekers (2008), Clarifying the Intrapreneurship concept by Bostjan Antoncic and Robert D. Hisrich, Intrapeneurship: An Exploraory Study of Select Norwegian Industries by Alf Steinar Saetre (2001). We would definitely like to take help from these literature.

Keywords: Intrapreneurship, Tourism, Management, Conceptualization.

INTRODUCTION:
The organization today stress its employee “to be more innovative” which means obviously taking risk allowing to try out new things/system which have never been applied before. This requests a fair deal of access to the proper information to minimize that uncertainty before implicating something new.
As the ever-present headaches of trying to balance maximizing profit and margin with investing for growth, it is imperative implementing short-term, high-impact initiatives with long-term, strategic thinking, and planning and focusing on a business a whole.
“Intrapreneurship”, thus, is an interesting concept, but one which is not very sought after. The need for innovation within organizations is a topic of much debate today as entrepreneurship has finally caught the world's attention.

DESTINATION LIFE CYCLE: A CASE OF BALI

 AN EXPLORATORY RESEARCH PAPER TITLED DESTINATION LIFE CYCLE: A CASE OF BALI Submitted by: Dr. Kshitiz Sharma , Email i.d.- sharmak23@gmail.com Moutushi Ganguli Sharma Email i.d.- moutushig80@rediffmail.com ABSTRACT Like most products, destinations have a lifecycle (DLC).  In his 1980 article, Butler proposed a widely-accepted model of the lifecycle of a tourist destination.  This is a journey of the destination from beginning to a possible end. This is applicable to almost every destination however stages may reach late or early in Life. This would help policy makers to develop right strategies to develop a destination and make it sustainable. At every stage the tourists profile, their category also changes. Here Plog’s typology would be more suitable to refer. With every stage the tourists and destination features shows variations. Bali has been studied here to understand its emergence, development and further stages. The island of ...

Doctors Prescribe kids to get outside to beat obesity

Childhood obesity is a major national concern in the U.S., with about one third of minors overweight. A vast number of campaigns to reverse this have arisen in the last decade, such as Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign and the NFL’s Play60 campaign. However, the most progressive response is a prescription to take a step back from our modern technology-based society: doctors are now writing “Outdoor Activity” on Rx labels to overweight and obese children. “Outdoor Activity” prescriptions have been successful so far, not only improving youth’s health but also teaching them to love being outside. According to Kay Debrosse, who runs a Massachusetts recreation center, “They love the outdoors more now … They moan and groan when you tell them to get off their computer, but then they don’t want to come back inside.” These prescriptions resonate deeply with parents and patients because they are individually prescribed by a doctor, instilling a more committed attitude toward change. The g...

FORMATION OF CONTINENTS

The earth’ history is 4.5 billion years old when all the continents which we see today were not in this shape & position. Amazingly these continents were close to each other! By 750 million years ago the earth’s mass combined to ‘Supercontinent’. And surrounding this ‘Supercontinent’ there was also an extensive ocean. Roughly 750 Ma (million years ago), the earliest-known supercontinent Rodinia , began to break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia , 600–540 Ma, then finally Pangaea which is “All Earth” in Greek. Then about 200 million years ago the land began to drift apart. It broke into two pieces, · Laurasia – the northern supercontinent- splits in Eurasia and North America · Gondwanaland - the southern supercontinent which consisted § Antarctica, § South America § Africa § India and § Australia. The two large continents continued to break apart into the smaller continents that exist today. Eduard Suess, an Austrian geologist named it ‘Gondwanaland’. The nam...
