Recreational Food Service: A Growing Employment Option, Susan S. Hubbard
Recreational Food Service: A Growing Employment Option, Susan S. Hubbard
Hospitality Review
The recreational food service industry represents a wealth of potential job opportunities for graduates of hospitality management degree programs. Most hospitality management curricula are saturated with core courses and basic hospitality education course work, leaving little room for additional components. Recreational food service, however, could be easily integrated into an existing pro- gram and made available for students interested in this growing employment option. The author presents one option as a model curriculum approach.

My Rules For Success, Dave Thomas
My Rules For Success, Dave Thomas
Hospitality Review
Success means something different to everyone. It can mean wealth, power, happiness, or a hundred other things. There are all kinds of success and all kinds of ways to achieve it. I know bus drivers who are as successful as bankers; I know anonymous computer programmers who are now more successful than some of the biggest sports celebrities. Success can take many forms, but the ingredients for success are basically the same

Hotel Remodeling Impact: Guest Satisfaction At A Family Resort Hotel, Ady Milman
Hotel Remodeling Impact: Guest Satisfaction At A Family Resort Hotel, Ady Milman
Hospitality Review
A case study of a family resort hotel demonstrated empirical relationships between guest satisfaction and their perception of the hotel's physical appearance, staff attitude, and the guests' age group. The 333 self-administered surveys also provided information about the guests' travel behavior and their experience at the hotel. The predictive regression model confined that the hotel was in need of remodeling, and that potential renovation projects will ultimately result in increased guest satisfaction.

Consumption Taxes: An Examination, Joshua E. Richardson '97
Consumption Taxes: An Examination, Joshua E. Richardson '97
Honors Projects
The current in orne tax system fails to achieve several of these goals. This paper will examine three alternatives to the income tax: a national sales tax, a value added tax, and a personal expen iture tax. The three taxes create the same tax on an item of consumption through different methods. These options will be discussed in comparison to the current income tax on the basis of administrative efficiency, equity, economic consequences, and transitional difficulties.

Measuring Risk-Based Capital, Karen Anderson '97
Honors Projects
In order to assure policyholders that their benefits will be available when they are needed, the National Association ofInsurance Commissioners (NAIC) has begun regulating insurer capital through the Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Model Act for life insurance companies. The Model Act helps state insurance regulators plan to preserve and protect adequate insurance capital levels and maintain insurer solvency. The RBC requirements provide for a ratio which assesses the level of risk that is associated with an insurance company's assets. The purpose of the NAIC's RBC calculation is to develop the minimum amount of surplus needed given the risks assumed by the …

End User Perception And Software Quality Assessment, K L. Nance, M Strohmaier
End User Perception And Software Quality Assessment, K L. Nance, M Strohmaier
Journal of International Information Management
The topic of software quality assessment is at the forefront of the software engineering movement. Many models of organization and quality control exist which serve to foster software quality and reliability (Bloom, McPheters & Tsiang, 1973; Brandl, 1990; Comer, 1988; Dunn, 1990; Kaplan, Clark & Tang, 1994; Livson, 1988; Musa, lannino & Okumoto, 1987). Some models now consider the software engineering project team and end users, but most still treat them as static contributors to the system. Major factors often ignored in most conventional models include the cybernetics of the process, and human factors which have a significant impact on …

Security Versus Integrity In Information Systems, Gerhaed Steinke
Security Versus Integrity In Information Systems, Gerhaed Steinke
Journal of International Information Management
Security and integrity are frequently competing characteristics in an information system. Sectirity implies that a user can only access a specific subset of the information in the system, namely that information which the user has permission to access. Integrity implies that the information is "correct", i.e., that it satisfies the constraints, rules and conditions contained in the information system. A problem arises when a user who is unable to access certain information because of security restrictions, is left with an "incorrect" or inconsistent view of the information system. In this paper we define an information organizational structure and policy which …
Design Considerations For Computer Simulation Games In The Management Discipline, Charmayne Cullom, Daniel J. Rowley
Design Considerations For Computer Simulation Games In The Management Discipline, Charmayne Cullom, Daniel J. Rowley
Journal of International Information Management
Computer simulations have been utilized for well over twenty years as an instruetional tool in business currieulums. According to Joseph Wolfe (1993), use of business computer simulations is no longer "cutting-edge." Simulation games have become common place with utilization widespread in the university community. The reasons for implementing business computer simulations are varied but typically emphasize provision of decision-making experiences simulating the real world and role playing (Hsu 1989). Increased interest and utilization of computer simulations in the business curriculum arose after the general acceptance of experienced-based learning theory. Such experiential learning requires participants to be actively involved in learning …
Maturity Model Linkages Between Software Development Teams, Users And Quality, Eugene G. Mcguire
Maturity Model Linkages Between Software Development Teams, Users And Quality, Eugene G. Mcguire
Journal of International Information Management
Information Systems literature has shown clear linkages between the selection of software development methodologies, the actions of software development teams, overall product quality, and user satisfaction. Rarely are these linkages emphasized, however, in current research on process improvement. This paper examines the convergence of these areas and discusses current research designed to further explore these linkages within the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) framework.

Group Impacts Using Four Meeting Facilitation Techniques, Milam Aiken, Khalid Aljumaih, Brian Reithel, Sumali Conlon
Group Impacts Using Four Meeting Facilitation Techniques, Milam Aiken, Khalid Aljumaih, Brian Reithel, Sumali Conlon
Journal of International Information Management
Many studies have investigated the effects of various meeting facilitation techniques on groups, but few have directly compared the effects of different electronic techniques on group interaction. In fact, the vast majority of research in the area of electronic meeting support has used only two techniques: verbal brainstorming and electronic individual poolwriting. This paper describes an experiment involving four groups of 35 undergraduate students each using electronic individual poolwriting, electronic gallery writing, verbal brainstorming, and manual individual poolwriting. Results show that groups using the two electronic techniques were more satisfied and productive and experienced less production blocking and evaluation apprehension. …
The Gap Between Theory And Practice: A Database Application Case Study, Martha Myers, Paula Skinner
The Gap Between Theory And Practice: A Database Application Case Study, Martha Myers, Paula Skinner
Journal of International Information Management
The transition from theory to practice is often challenging for sUidents. This paper considers this challenge within the context of implementing a database design in an end-user DBMS. The tradeoffs are examined between adhering to the theory that is taught in the classroom and straying from the theory when faced with deadlines, software applications that will not support the theory, and specific client needs. In the first section, the problems and tradeoffs for developers and system clients are described. In the second section, a specific case study of a student project for a charitable organization is described. The third section …

A Comparison Of Performance And Satisfaction Between Two Types Of Group Decision Support Systems, Mahesh Vanjani, Milam Aiken, Joseph Paolillo
A Comparison Of Performance And Satisfaction Between Two Types Of Group Decision Support Systems, Mahesh Vanjani, Milam Aiken, Joseph Paolillo
Journal of International Information Management
Group Decision Support Systems (GDSSs) and other electronic meeting technologies have been developed to support or replace traditional, verbal meetings. While extensive research has been conducted regarding the impact of these systems on the group decision making process, the vast majority of these studies have focused on groups meeting fact-to-face in one room. This paper focuses on how group members perform when distributed as non-proximate sub-groups (virtual legislative sessions) as compared to proximate, face-to-face groups (synchronous legislative sessions). Experiments involving 12 groups of 10 members each showed that there were few significant differences in productivity and satisfaction between the two …
