Mayer Assistant Professor, William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Keywords Human resource utilization, Theme parks, Employee communications, Service quality Introduction In services management, the linkage between employee performance and the delivery of high quality services has been well documented in the services marketing and hospitality literature (Zeithaml and Bitner, 2000; Mohr and Bitner, 1995; Bettencourt and Gwinner, 1996). This article reviews the human resource practices that have been adopted at a major theme park in order to maximize the delivery of superior guest services.

...PROSPECTS Globalization on Course Thanks to increasing international trade in goods and services, capital flows, and operational linkages among business firms, worldwide integration and interdependence is now a fact of life. This is globalization.1 For all of its many problems, giobalization is worth pursuing as a way to raise the world’s living standards. Its call for open markets is direct. It is often not simple to put in practice as public policy. Its decline during the turbulent years between World War I and II underscores how difficult it is to put such policy in place. Nevertheless, by the I 950s the world economy again resumed its upward trend toward globalization. Still, the road is not smooth. Turbulence In Capital and Money Markets Critics of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) argue that the JiMF’s mistakes may well have created a backlash against globalization in the post-Cold War years.2 The Asian and Russian crises in the closing years of the 1990s and IMF attempts at fixing problems complicated the advance of Western-type market economies.

...execution to Captain George Kendall (Randa, 1996). According to the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC), in the last four hundred years, 36 states have instituted the death penalty, making execution the ultimate form of punishment (2012). In theory the death penalty appears to be a reasonable method of punishment but in reality it has major flaws that damage the integrity of the state. Not only does it have serious flaws it is absolutely inhumane in every way. The death penalty goes against our rights as human beings. We are supporting the message that killing is okay if the reason behind it is sound and that having putting a criminal to death will lower the crime rate in any given area. Human Right Activist groups such as Amnesty International say the following about the death penalty, “The death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights. It is the premeditated and cold-blooded killing of a human being by the state. This cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment is...

...Scholarly Activity 2 "Burger King Beefs Up Global Operations" Henry E. Jerkins Columbia Southern University International Business Professor Yvonne Balbin February 23, 2013 1 1. What is Burger King’s core competency? How does it relate to its chosen strategy? Burger King's core competency is the fact that they are the world's largest flamed-broiled fast food restaurant hands down. Simply put, Burger King's core competency means that they are more competent than their competitors when it comes to producing that type of goods and services. In addition, Burger King stands firm on its core competency of being the best at what it does when it comes to producing hamburgers and flame-broiled fast food. As a result of this strategetic move, it has positioned itself in becoming one of the markets leaders in the fast food restaurant industry. Further, it core competency is based upon its desire to set itself apart their competitors by way of differentiating their products. The differentiation of Burger Kings products are accomplished in two ways as it relates their competitors. First thing to consider is the manner in which the hamburgers are prepared, which is the flamed-broiled method. Secondly, is the various options that is afforded to the customers on how they would like to have their hamburgers prepared. The process has been the means that has allowed Burger King to become one of the market leaders in the...

...mandates to serve all students fairly and equitably in general education classrooms. Co-teaching is an approach that helps educators meet both IDEIA and NCLB mandates, and is defined as “two or more people sharing responsibility for teaching some or all of the students assigned to a classroom” (Villa, Thousand, & Nevin, 2008, p. 5). In schools within the United States, co-teaching often involves general education and special education teachers working together in one classroom and used as a supplementary aid and service that can be brought to general education to serve the needs of students with (and without) disabilities through IDEIA. Co-teaching requires a re-conceptualization and revision for traditional teacher preparation. Recent studies show the benefits of co-teaching arrangements for students, teachers, and school organizations...

...critique An exploration of the impact of strategic international human resource management on firm performance: The case of Foreign MNCs in China By Chanzi Bao, Robert and UK Farhad Analoui, Robert Gordon University. 2011 Overview of the article’s content The paper reports the intensive competition arising from globalisation requiring MNCs to seek low cost, innovation, speed and adaptability and the need to manage their human resources globally and strategically in order to become a source of competitive advantage. The authors state that there is a need to manage human resources strategically so that they become source of sustained competitive advantage (Wright and McMahan, 1992; Boxall and Purcell, 2008). And that this has led to the evolution of strategic international human resource management (SIHRM), which not only acknowledge the need of balancing global integration and local responsiveness (Evans et al., 2002), but to seek strategic fit between HR policies and business strategy in order to achieve superior business performance. The researcher’s paper focus upon China with reference to foreign MNCs’ operations and the challenges faced from the dual pressure of balancing globalisation and localisation. Arguing that by combining the concept of SHRM with IHRM it identified a new research area of SIHRM which addressed the HRM issues and activities resulting from, and impacting on, the strategic activities and international concerns of MNC’s, that the universality, contingency...
