Integrating lean management into community-based tourism: Enhancing efficiency in tourism supply chains through value stream mapping concept

This study aimed to identify waste within the community-based tourism (CBT) management chain and enhance the efficiency of the CBT activities' supply chain by employing the value stream mapping (VSM) concept. Through a case study of a CBT destination in Kok Sathon, Thailand, a mixed-method research approach was utilized, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The study incorporated a literature review, field surveys, interviews with 35 key informants, and questionnaires administered to 400 tourists. The findings reveal that waste in the CBT management process manifested in nine categories: non-participation/non-community involvement; lack of identity/storytelling; unclear communication; overproduction/over-processing; waiting/delay; transportation/motion; non-organization and management; defects; and tourism marketing. Following the implementation of improvements, a reduction in staff activities was observed by 33.33% and service process time by 5.61%. The research not only provides empirical evidence of waste in CBT supply chain management but also demonstrates the impact of applying lean principles to address inefficiencies. Furthermore, it offers insights into optimizing tourism resources in CBT operations and serves as a guide for enhancing efficiency in service organizations. This work introduces a new framework that challenges traditional compartmentalized problem-solving methods in tourism and emphasizes the importance of every step in the process—from inception to conclusion—to enhance understanding of the root causes of issues and facilitate necessary changes. These reductions in waste are directly aligned with the values desired by tourists, indicating a successful alignment of operational improvements with tourist expectations.

Victimological aspects of sexual crimes. Case studies and practical recommendations

Knowing the victimological aspects of sexual crimes, namely the social and psycho-behavioral patterns, is indispensable for the efficient organization of anti-crime activity on the preventive level, especially if we refer to the victimological prevention of these crimes. But such knowledge cannot be reached by abstracting from the study of concrete victimization cases. Such studies, very popular in the Western world, cannot be applied in Romania and the Republic of Moldova because significant cultural variations intervene, which also make differences that cannot be reconciled. In these conditions, the necessity to analyze concrete situations of victimization is emerging in order to obtain suitable theoretical generalizations that we can later make available to the law enforcement bodies in order to ensure a more efficient organization, through diversified methods of the activity of criminological securization of citizens, which involves combating and prevention. For these reasons, we proceeded to an investigative approach in order to identify some victimological aspects of sexual crimes, namely by analyzing specific cases, and elaborating certain ameliorative-preventive recommendations in relation to them.

Overlapping modernity and tradition: rethinking the danwei as a basic urban unit in modern China

ABSTRACT The danwei was the basic unit of social organization and urban form in China during the period of the planned economy, and this role, which encompasses various dimensions such as administration, production, and welfare, is a unique feature of China's modernization process. This study attempts to explain how the danwei actively influenced the development of socialist China from both modern and traditional perspectives. From a modern perspective, the danwei relates to the modern concept of urban planning, and its efficient spatial organization brings a new way of life in the industrial age. From a traditional perspective, the enclosed nature, social control, and patriarchal management style of the danwei maintained the characteristics of ancient society rooted in traditional culture, making it accepted by the public and facilitating the process of industrialization in a short period. This article aims to show that the danwei, as a pragmatic method blending modernity with tradition, played an indispensable role in China's transition from an agricultural to a modern society and continues to influence social life and urban form in contemporary China.

Why Startups Outpace Multinationals in Leveraging DevOps

Abstract This paper explores the differential impacts of DevOps across varying organizational structures, specifically analyzing why startups may outpace multinational companies in leveraging the benefits of DevOps methodologies. DevOps drives organizational efficiency and innovation. Comparative studies often examine its implementation in startups versus large-scale enterprises. The literature pinpoints the agility, culture, and size of an organization as key determinants influencing the adoption of DevOps principles. In response, this study employs an extensive questionnaire distributed to DevOps and related professionals to investigate the hypothesis that startups are uniquely positioned to harness DevOps for technological advancement and cultural synergy. The survey gathered quantitative and qualitative data reflecting experiences with DevOps adoption, challenges faced, and the perceived benefits drawn from such practices. The findings reveal that while startups and multinationals share common challenges, the former's organizational agility, innovative mindset, and less encumbered cultural practices offer startups a distinct advantage in the effective assimilation of DevOps practices. This paper contributes to the field by providing evidence supporting the notion that startups possess intrinsic advantages over multinationals in DevOps implementation, chiefly due to their flexibility and lean structures for rapid innovation. By mapping out the relative successes and impediments to DevOps adoption in diverse corporate environments, this research extends the understanding of how organizational characteristics can be leveraged to optimize DevOps strategies in the evolving landscape of software engineering.

Abstract The study of organizational behaviour is essential for human resource managers to improve organizational efficiency, aiming to create a conducive working environment to stimulate employee engagement within the organization. By understanding the factors influencing behaviour in organizations, more effective strategies can be implemented for managing people and resources. The current research statistically models a system of individual-centred organizational behaviour [OB] in relation to influencing variables - online [MOn] and hybrid [MOh] relational environments. The systemic variable [OB] is analyzed from the perspective of three dimensions - the individual's relationship with the group they belong to [group-focused behaviour], the individual's relationship with themselves [individual-focused behaviour], and the relationship between the individual and the tasks they have to solve [task-focused behaviour]. This system is statistically modelled through the analysis of influencing factors in online and offline relationships. The current research includes an analysis of statistical modelling applied to two heterogeneous groups of students and the comparison of regression models on the two systems [OB]-[MOn] and [OB]-[MOh]. The research methodology includes the presentation of statistical data, formulation of working hypotheses, questionnaire component, application to the two groups of respondents, creation of systemic variables, analysis of variable distributions, correlational analysis, application of statistical regression, and formulation of conclusions and observations. The limitations of the research, the applicability and versatility of its methodology, and future research directions in this field are highlighted in the conclusion of the work.
