Assessment Of The Potential Of Proposed Stations Of The California High-Speed Rail As Major Hubs For Physical And Economic Development, Seitu Akira Coleman
Master's Theses
This study investigated the potential for development of station catchment areas around the proposed California High-Speed Rail System. The study was prompted by a review of practices of Japanese railway company groups that engage not only in train operations, but also in business diversification and property development within the station areas of their lines. These actions allow the company groups to diversify their revenues streams, increase ridership on their lines, and operate as a whole with net profits. This is in contrast to transit agencies in the United States, which only focus on transporting passengers along their lines and do …
Exploring The Role Of Irish Local Authorities In Tourism Development: A Senior Management Perspective On Tourism Development In Cork County Council, Monica Moisuc
Masters
In an Irish context, the government's engagement in tourism and its role in developing the sector is acknowledged across most Irish government publications. However, despite efforts made to highlight the major role of the government in tourism, the number of studies that seek to understand how Irish local governments are engaging in tourism is limited. In an attempt to fill this knowledge gap, this study brings a new contribution to the current relevant literature by exploring the role of the government in developing tourism within a local Irish context.
Using a qualitative case-study approach, the particular entity under investigation is …

Management Strategies For Adopting Agile Methods Of Software Development In Distributed Teams, Igor A. Schtein
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Between 2003 and 2015, more than 61% of U.S. software development teams failed to satisfy project requirements, budgets, or timelines. Failed projects cost the software industry an estimated 60 billion dollars. Lost opportunities and misused resources are often the result of software development leaders failing to implement appropriate methods for managing software projects. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies software development managers use in adopting Agile methodology in the context of distributed teams. The tenets of Agile approach are individual interaction over tools, working software over documentation, and collaboration over a contract. The conceptual …

More Than Meets The Eye: Development Of A Sport Event Stimuli And Destination Image Fit Scale, Yongjin Hwang
Theses and Dissertations
Much research demonstrates an impact of sensory experience on sports fans’ satisfaction with live sporting events (Lee, Heere, & Chung, 2013; Lee, Lee, Seo, & Green, 2012). It was, however, not studied how to enhance those sense-centric experiences. One possible approach would be to utilize unique region-based characteristics to design unforgettable and emotionally engaging experiences. Most sporting events are location-based, and venues are also considered as a landmark of the area where they are placed. Consequently, we can create a natural link between sporting events and the hosting cities or regions. Visual designs, musical contents, famous local food, and signature …

El Impacto De La Industria Turística En La Población Nativa Del Archipiélago De San Andrés, Providencia Y Santa Catalina: De La Declaración Del Puerto Libre Al Plan De Desarrollo “Living Islands For All”, Daniela Estefany Ramos Joaqui, Angie Johana Pardo Verdugo
Negocios y Relaciones Internacionales
La economía del departamento de San Andrés se ha impulsado con base en un modelo que promueve el turismo gracias a la implementación de políticas públicas como la Declaración del Puerto Libre en 1953, y la puesta en operación del Plan de Desarrollo “Living Islands for All” en 2008. Este modelo, sin embargo, ha creado condiciones económicas excluyentes a nivel local, además de choques entre nativos, continentales y extranjeros quienes arribaron a las islas en oleadas sucesivas a lo largo de las últimas décadas en busca de los beneficios que brindan las condiciones especiales del Archipiélago. La idea de desarrollo …
