Abstract

Les Instances dirigeantes de notre Association ayant fait l'honneur aux Experts français de leur confier le soin d'élaborer les rapports concernant d'une part, sur le plan vertical, «la mesure des flux touristiques dans les stations et les régions», d'autre part, sur le plan horizontal, «les aspects nationaux de la mesure des flux touristiques», nous avons choisi de charger l'un des nôtres, M. Marc Boyer, attaché de recherches au Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, de l'établissement des études correspondantes, en raison de ses travaux antérieurs qui l'ont rendu spécialement averti des problèmes en cause.

Abstract

Purpose

The paper aims to examine the barriers to innovation, as perceived and experienced by owner‐managers of Turkish small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs).

Design/methodology/approach

The paper is based on an empirical investigation of 224 SMEs operating in Turkey. Emergent results were analysed using a logit regression model to explore barriers to innovation as perceived and experienced by these owner‐managers.

Findings

The results reveal that a lack of government research and development policy represents a formal barrier to SME innovation in Turkey. The existence of a sizeable and thriving underground economy in this country acts as an informal barrier that impacts negatively upon investment in, and increases the cost of innovation in SMEs. In addition, a lack of appropriate sources of finance and skill shortages emerged as significant variables to affect the innovation decisions of SME owner‐managers in Turkey.

Research limitations/implications

The research sample of 224 businesses, chosen from a population of approximately two million SMEs in Turkey, is relatively small and is not representative of all regions and urban areas in this country. Therefore, this research sample is not a random or statistically significant selection of Turkey's SME sector. The findings of this research have implications for policy makers, practitioners and academics in this and similar countries.

Originality/value

The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the actual and perceived barriers to innovation experienced by owner‐managers of Turkish SMEs. Development of effective government policies to support innovative SMEs could significantly enhance the competitiveness of the Turkish economy.

Abstract

Ce n'est pas sans hésitation que j'avais accepté de présenter au congrès 1954 de l'A.I.E.S.T. un rapport sur la place du tourisme dans l'enseignement supérieur. En effet, après la publication par notre collègue et ami le professeur A. Mariotti d'un ouvrage sur l'enseignement du tourisme, il me paraissait difficile d'ajouter, en quelques semaines de recherches, quelque chose de valable à cette importante et décisive étude couvrant toutes les branches et toutes les formes de l'enseignement.

Abstract

Le tourisme, quelle que soit, par ailleurs, sa définition exacte, se compose de deux éléments constitutifs: le voyage et le séjour hors de l'habitat. Comme l'a relevé en une formule aussi brève que spirituelle un auteur français: faire du tourisme — c'est aller ailleurs. Ainsi, le fait touristique implique toujours un déplacement, le voyage aller et retour.

Abstract

The literature contends that the lack of strategic business planning is a major drawback in the implementation of business process initiatives such as total quality management. In addition, it is evident that strategic planning firms achieve better performance than other firms. However, strategic planning often fails due to problems or barriers encountered at the implementation stage. It is unclear from the limited research carried out to date what actions, if any, firms can take to minimise or eliminate these barriers. This paper examines the concept of strategic planning and identifies the barriers to its implementation. It considers the suitability of formal strategic planning as the key to eliminating or reducing implementation barriers by comparing the extent to which the barriers are experienced in formal and non‐formal planning firms. The paper also examines the extent to which the barriers are experienced by high and low performing firms.

Abstract

La réunion des experts scientifiques du tourisme à Lugano, au printemps 1949, avait ce caractère intime, presque familier, qui naissait de la première prise de contact entre amis. Animés du même désir de jeter les bases de la recherche scientifique à l'échelon international, le cercle de Lugano avait pleinement conscience de faire œuvre de pionnier et de tenter une expérience dont l'issue semblait au moins incertaine.

Abstract

Dans la mesure où les prévisions sont la clé de vûte de l'établissement de budgets et de l'application du RCB dans les entreprises, ainsi que de l'élaboration de plans de développement par les administrations publiques, il n'est plus possible de se contenter de déductions globales ou d'intuitions approximatives en guise de pré‐visions.
