Competence-Based Innovation in Hospitality and Tourism

Competence-Based Innovation in Hospitality and Tourism

Dr Pechlaner and Dr Innerhofer the editors of Competence-Based Innovation in Hospitality and Tourism argue that the industry operates within highly challenging and competitive environments. Changing environmental and market conditions continually force hotel businesses and service providers to offer their customers new and modified products and services in order to remain competitive; those which respect value perceptions of markets and sustainable stakeholder reactions. This then raises the question of how innovations within this industry must be developed in order to achieve competitive differentiation. The book demonstrates that the development and analysis of successful innovation strategies should integrate the resource-based view and its advancements the competence-based view as well as the dynamic capabilities approach and the relational view. Resource-based strategic management approaches view the firm as a bundle of resources and competences. They point to the importance of firm-specific resources and competences in explaining variations in competitive positions and performance differentiation between companies. The challenge of hospitality and tourism is to develop resources and competences that drive innovations. This book will serve to advance the status quo of tourism research literature by combining innovation theories with network theories and tourism and destination development by illustrating the development of cooperative competences and innovations in tourism and by showing in a tailored way how the challenge of the development of resources and competences that drive innovations in tourism can be managed.

Artificial intelligence and the autonomous robots of the Fourth Industrial Revolution will render certain jobs and competences obsolete but will also create new roles which in turn require new sets of skills. They will also transform how we produce distribute and consume as well as how we think. Rather than a linear understanding of evolutionary processes we will develop a more interactive and circular interpretation. This book offers a unique and holistic perspective on the future of work in the context of industry 4. 0. It discusses the globalization of capital markets how artificial intelligence can help organizations to be more competitive and the new role of leadership in this technological landscape. The author argues that there are four categories of competences which will be required in order to maintain the relevance of human skills and expertise in the innovation economy. The new jobs that come into being will lend themselves to a particular set of skills. General competences will be necessary for roles involving the 4Cs of communication creativity collaboration and change. Specific or STEM competences will be called for across the science technology engineering and mathematics sectors. Human competences will lend themselves to positions comprising the SELC framework of social emotional leadership and cultural skills. Critical or REVE competences will be in demand for roles embracing reflection ethics values and the environment. The book provides a human-centric view of the current technological advancements of artificial intelligence and robotics and offers a positive outlook for human actors seeking continued relevance. It will appeal to scholars and students of the innovation economy the knowledge society and the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution. | Artificial Intelligence Automation and the Future of Competence at Work
