Título : Action-Based Quality Management : Strategy and Tools for Continuous Improvement Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Marta Peris Ortiz ; José Álvarez García Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: X, 196 p. 22 illus., 13 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-06453-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Business Leadership Management Industrial management Production and Strategy/Leadership Operations Innovation/Technology Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Featuring case studies from the industrial and tourism sectors, this book provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the effect of total quality management on business and innovation strategies. The principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) have been widely researched and analyzed as an essential tool for businesses to compete in a globalized economy. This book presents the latest research on the applications of TQM across different functions such as customer service, human resources management, and cost control. It demonstrates how the utilization of TQM tools, such as the SERVQUAL model, Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), High Involvement Practices (HIWP), and the EFQM excellence model, impacts a firm’s performance, enhances productivity and innovation, and reduces cost, thereby allowing them to compete more effectively in the global market. Building on the extensive literature on the relationship between TQM and business performance, the authors argue that quality acts as a powerful competitive tool that companies should embrace in their corporate strategy. By promoting activities that result in greater efficiency, improved control and management of the organization (internal quality), firms can achieve significant improvement in customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, social impact and business results (external quality) and exceed expectations in these areas Nota de contenido: Ch 1 Quality Management and Performance in the Hospitality Sector -- Ch 2 TQM as an Action-Based Management Philosophy -- Ch 3 An Application of SERVQUAL Model in Terms of Chaves -- Ch 4 Management by Process -- Ch 5 Eco-Management and Audit Scheme -- Ch 6 The Use of Information on Quality Related Costs in Portuguese Companies -- Ch 7 Process Approach, Quality Management and Key Business Results -- Ch 8 Quality Management Systems and the use of High Involvement Human Resource Management Practice -- Ch 9 Implementing Multiple Management Systems -- Ch 10 Interdependence and Relationship of the Principles and Practices in Total Quality Management -- Ch 11 Student Perception of Quality in Higher Education Institutions -- Ch 12 A New Methodology Based on Genetic Algorithms to Increase Quality and Performance in Currency Markets En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-06453-6 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36070 Action-Based Quality Management : Strategy and Tools for Continuous Improvement [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Marta Peris Ortiz ; José Álvarez García . - Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - X, 196 p. 22 illus., 13 illus. in color : online resource.

Emprendimiento Resumen: This book looks at entrepreneurship and innovation as ways out of the economic crisis in Europe and other regions, and examines the main theoretical issues and practices related to this analysis. The volume addresses such questions as: From an institutional perspective, how do economic crisis conditions affect different types of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship? Is it useful for public policymakers and entrepreneurs to understand the basic characteristics of entrepreneurial activity, relations between the institutional environment and entrepreneurship and among entrepreneurship, innovation and social change? Featuring case studies from several industries and countries, and a variety of methodological, theoretical, and empirical approaches, the authors build a compelling narrative on the dynamics of entrepreneurship and innovation as drivers of economic growth and organizational renewal. They demonstrate that the strategic and operational relationships that entrepreneurship creates within and outside the enterprise are a fundamental route for leading and mobilizing economic and social resources that permit innovation at the organizational level and in relationships with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders -- in turn, enabling technological innovation, creating new revenue streams through new productive activities and new demand, and ultimately facilitating emergence from economic crisis. The authors consider social, gender, and generational aspects of entrepreneurship, as well as the institutional conditions necessary to promote entrepreneurial activity Nota de contenido: Chapter 1 The value of discovery of opportunities and innovation for entrepreneurship in a context of crisis -- Chapter 2 Antecedents and consequences of export-entrepreneurial orientation in times of crisis -- Chapter 3 Effects of the 2008 crisis on the importance of innovation for start-ups -- Chapter 4 Is technological innovation and R&D enough? -- Chapter 5 Conditioning factors for entrepreneurship in the context of economic crisis -- Chapter 6 The role of innovation on the entrepreneurial function in an economic crisis context -- Chapter 7 Managing innovation during economic changes and crisis -- Chapter 8 Entrepreneurial orientation and ambidexterity: A good combination for firms against the crisis -- Chapter 9 Entrepreneurial risk without return? -- Chapter 10 The role of Social Capital in family firms to explain innovation capabilities in recession time -- Chapter 11 Women's Entrepreneurship: Conditional factors in times of crisis -- Chapter 12 Do we need innovative trust intermediaries in the digital economy? -- Chapter 13 The relationship between value co-creation and customer trust in the service provider -- Chapter 14 Young Entrepreneurers in culture, tourism, fashion and spots in recession time -- Chapter 15 Concept and practical impact of the Isoquant Scheme for service-innovations -- Chapter 16 Co-creation in a B2B market: potential effects in customer satisfaction and loyalty in time of crisis -- Chapter 17 How institutional context shape entrepreneurship and innovation in a context of economic crisis En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02384-7 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35994 Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Economic Crisis : Lessons for Research, Policy and Practice [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Rüdiger, Klaus ; Marta Peris Ortiz ; Alicia Blanco González . - Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - XIII, 181 p. 14 illus., 7 illus. in color : online resource.

Emprendimiento Resumen: The aim of this book is to analyze the relationships among entrepreneurship, regional development and culture in the current economy. Using an institutional approach, it examines the main theoretical issues and practices and their effect on different dimensions of society and the economy. Business creation is considered a key element of economic growth, innovation and employment. In recent years, entrepreneurial scholars have studied the factors that affect entrepreneurship and drive economic growth. In doing so, these scholars have aimed to understand what promotes entrepreneurial activity and also how to improve the development of regions or countries to increase wealth in society. The institutional approach can be applied to the entrepreneurship field to understand the phenomenon of entrepreneurship. This view considers the role of environment in the decision to create a company, which is critical to entrepreneurship, innovation and economic growth. Environment relates to legal aspects, public policy and support services (formal institutions) but is especially important in terms of sociocultural context (informal institutions). The creation of new ventures is greatly influenced by culture. Furthermore, it is important to highlight the influence of entrepreneurship on regional development, specifically through job creation, stimulation of economic growth and innovation. Thus, entrepreneurship, regional development and culture are fundamental for understanding economic growth and development as well as other phenomena such as technology transfer or goods and services exportation. Nota de contenido: A cultural perspective on entrepreneurship and regional development. The case of the Bages (Catalonia) -- Entrepreneurship and location: the cultural differences between two countries -- Entrepreneurship and the influence of history: how much impact do country-specific historical factors have on entrepreneurship initiatives? -- Understanding the role of culture and economic conditions in entrepreneurship -- The Effect of Cultural Factors on Social Entrepreneurship: The Impact of the Economic Downturn in Spain -- The entrepreneur’s values and the growth expectations of new ventures -- Entrepreneurship Policy and its Impact on the Cultural Legitimacy for Entrepreneurship in a Developing Country Context -- The role of normative legitimacy in the development of efficiency-driven countries -- Cultural influences on the entrepreneurial intentions of university students: A comparative study between Spain and Portugal -- Social Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurs.

Organización de empresas Resumen: This book aims to contribute to the literature and aid in developing a theoretical and practical framework in the area of health and wellness tourism. With contributions and research from different countries using a practical approach, this book is an essential source for students, researchers and managers in the health and wellness tourism industry. Recently, there has been an increased interest in health and wellness due to greater life expectancy, aging populations, increasing levels of stress among others. In this context, the concepts of health, wellness, beauty, relaxation, and tourism can be combined to satisfy the needs of people seeking better quality-of-life. This has given rise to health and wellness tourism, a new market segment that contributes to employment and economic growth in the new economy. Health and wellness tourism involves two aspects: therapeutics, which seeks to cure certain diseases; and relaxation and leisure. As an alternative to traditional tourism, health and wellness tourism provides a new means of achieving regional and local development from a demographic, social, environmental and economic point-of-view. It contributes to tourist destinations’ economic growth, acting as a pillar to support other complementary activities. In short, health and wellness tourism contributes to employment growth and regional wealth, contributes to tourism seasonality, promotes quality in tourism destinations, helps create new tourist services with high value, promotes establishment of international cooperation networks, and yields a number of additional benefits. Featuring a variety of programs and initiatives from different regions, with an emphasis on thermal and thalassotherapy establishments, this volume sheds light on this emerging market segment and its implications for economic and policy development Nota de contenido: A comparative study of thermal legislation in the Galicia–North Portugal Euroregion -- Health and Wellness Tourism – A Strategic Plan for Tourism and Thermalism valorization of São Pedro do Sul -- Networks in the Health and Welfare Sector: a study beyond borders – Portugal/Spain -- Chaves-Verín: regional development strengthened by spa-linked research and professional education -- Promotion and Marketing: Marketing Strategies, Italy, Regional Development -- Quality Management in Spanish Thalassotherapy Centers -- Motivations for Implementing a System of Quality Management in Spanish Thalassotherapy Centers -- Barriers to Implementing Quality Management in Spanish Thalassotherapy Centers -- Social Program Hydrotherapy IMSERSO in Horizon 2020 -- Diversity and Interconnection: Spas, health and wellness tourism -- Innovation in Thermalism: An example in Beira Interior region of Portugal En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-11490-3 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35491 Health and Wellness Tourism : Emergence of a New Market Segment [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Marta Peris Ortiz ; José Álvarez García . - Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2015 . - VIII, 183 p. 28 illus., 18 illus. in color : online resource.
