Hospitality ERP Education in the Age of Rapidly Evolving Information Systems

Hospitality and tourism are rapidly growing industries and are a major source of employment globally as well as in India. Tourism and hospitality industry in India will benefit more if we encourage the creation of significant numbers of jobs both directly in the hospitality sector where tourists spend their money and in related industries. Hospitality is constantly changing and progressing, creating various job opportunities. Many of them, however, are low-skilled and poorly paid. For the studies conducted as part of this research, hotel and chain hotel data was collected from a representative sample. The constructs used were limited by the metrics and instruments implemented by the company under study. Several hotel establishments were sampled for two similar studies in 2003 and 2017. An objective of the study was to determine how Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and e-business systems have evolved over this time period. The shortage of skilled staff can be effectively addressed by increasing the number of hotel management colleges that offer industrial training along with technology training pertaining to hospitality operations, where students can see examples of high-paying, in-demand hotel careers in action and make decisions about their future careers. A skilled, motivated hotel staff will help the industry to progress.

Research on Knowledge Gap Identification Method in Innovative Organizations under the “Internet+” Environment

Under the “Internet+” environment, the R&D intensity of products and services has increased; hence, organizations need to improve their ability to integrate knowledge and technology resources. Knowledge gaps will arise when an organization’s knowledge reserves fail to meet the needs of innovation activities. This research established a network of complete knowledge topics under the “Internet+” environment based on the Word2Vec model. The word vectors and word frequencies of organizational reserve knowledge texts were analyzed to establish an organizational reserve knowledge topic network. The Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency algorithm was used to identify the demanded knowledge topic. The satisfaction capability of demanded knowledge in the reserve knowledge topic network was calculated via the eigenvector centrality and the fuzzy evaluation method. The corresponding strategies were then put forward to make up the knowledge gap. Finally, a case study was conducted and compared with SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and Venn diagram analysis on the economic and management college of a university in Beijing to verify the effectiveness of this method.
