Social Capital and Firm Performance: The Tourism Market Case

There has been a shift in the management of organizations from separation to networking among market participants. Social capital has a significant role among the enforcing mechanisms in specific markets. The study assesses the impact of the level of social capital on the effectiveness of a network-based organization. The methodological framework of the research includes a set of neoinstitutional theories and strategic management, among which the key ones are the theories of networks, social capital, and transaction costs. Research methods in the theoretical part of the paper are synthesis, typology, and content analysis. The information base of the study is a survey and statistical reporting of 101 tourist organizations of the Russian Sverdlovsk region for 2017–2020. We identify structural, relational, and cognitive components of an organization's social capital and establish the impact of the components of social capital on the growth rate of revenue and the growth rate of profitability of sales in Russian tourism for two (2017–2019) and three (2017–2020) years. There are positive and negative effects of the social capital impact in the organization. The social structure (structural component of social capital) and behavioral practices (relational and cognitive components) ensure the sustainability and growth of the business. However, neglecting market-based transaction management mechanisms risks reducing the growth of network «embeddedness» and the organization's performance.

A REAL-TIME APPROACH TO TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT IN HETEROGENEOUS DISTRIBUTED REPLICATED DATABASE SYSTEMS

В работе транзакции рассматриваются в виде гетерогенных файлов от пользователей в качестве входных данных и эффективно развертываются в облачной системе хранения данных и в гетерогенных системах баз данных в качестве выходных данных. In this paper, transactions are considered as heterogeneous files from users as input data and are effectively deployed in a cloud storage system and in heterogeneous database systems as output data.

Potential for optimising organisational structures in the technical due diligence for real estate transactions in Germany

PurposeThe individual levels involved in real estate management are thoroughly discussed in the literature. This paper provides a structured meta-analysis of the different theoretical approaches in German-speaking countries. It also investigates the integration of transaction management and technical due diligence into the concepts of organisation theory. In this process, the interfaces are analysed and optimised models are developed for transferring the technical due diligence findings to the operational level.Design/methodology/approachInterviews with transaction management experts were conducted based on a narrative literature review. These interviews shed light on how the components of transaction management and due diligence are integrated into the transaction process, with a particular focus on technical due diligence. They also provide insights into how the related results are taken into account in relation to the transaction, and how they are transferred into the operational phase.FindingsIt becomes apparent that the role of transaction management is not clearly defined and delimited in the structural model of the real estate industry. Technical due diligence findings are usually transferred to the operation of the property via several, manual interfaces with corresponding losses of knowledge. The related models derived and developed for the purpose of operational optimisation define the role of transaction management against a technical background and identify the interfaces to be considered.Practical implicationsThe significance of transaction management for subsequent operations is discussed and elaborated on. More specifically, transferring safety-relevant, high-priority findings from the technical due diligence exercise plays a crucial role for the modelling stage. On the implementation level, the derived models serve as a basis for customising the internal organisational structure.Originality/valueIn Germany, there has hardly been any research into the involvement of technical experts in the real estate transaction process to date. This paper provides initial approaches to optimising organisational structures and sustainably integrating technical due diligence findings into real estate operations.

Chiller

Many computing researchers and practitioners may be surprised to find a "research highlight" which innovates on the way to process database transactions. Work in the early 1970s, by Turing winner Jim Gray and others, established a standard set of techniques for transaction management. These remain the basis of most commercial and open-source platforms [1], and they are still taught in university database classes. So why is important research still needed in this topic? The technology environment keeps evolving, and new performance characteristics mean that new algorithms and system designs become appropriate. This perspective will summarise the early work, and point to how the field has continued to progress.

SISTEM INVENTORY BRIKET BATU BARA PT. BENGKULU MANDIRI MENGGUNAKAN VISUAL BASIC.NET

ABSTRAKInventory atau persediaan bukan merupakan hal yang asing lagi bagi setiap perusahaan. Namun masalah inventory terkadang masih menjadi salah satu kendala untuk mencapai tujuan perusahaan, karena sistem inventory yang tidak terkendali dan tidak adanya pengawasan yang benar serta metode yang dapat dijalankan dengan baik. PT. Bengkulu Mandiri mempunyai bidang yang bergerak dalam penjualan briket batu bara. Dalam menjalankan usahanya masih menggunakan sistem manual dengan cara memasukan data-data ke dalam buku. Untuk menghindari persediaan yang berlebihan maka seharusnya perusahaan ini membutuhkan sistem inventory yang berbasis komputer untuk membantu meningkatkan kualitas yang dibutuhkan oleh perusahaan dan mencegah terjadinya penumpukan persediaan. Implementasi sistem menggunakan bahasa pemrograman Visual Basic.Net dan metode penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode waterfall.metode waterfall mampu melakukan analisa kebutuhan yang digunakan untuk mengetahui dari kelemahan sistem yang lama, kemudian membuat desain dari rancangan tersebut dan dilanjutkan dengan pembuatan rancangan sistem baru. Hasil dari penelitian adalah aplikasi inventori ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kemudahan bagi petugas dalam melakukan kontrol serta dapat membantu proses pengelolaan transaksi pembelian, proses produksi dan transaksi penjualan melalui fungsi otomatisasi, sehingga proses pengelolaan lebih efektif dan efisien.Kata kunci :Sistem Inventori, Briket Batu Bara, Visual Basic.Net ABSTRACTInventory is not a strange thing for every company. But inventory problems are sometimes still one of the obstacles to achieving company goals, due to an uncontrolled inventory system and the lack of proper supervision and methods that can be run properly. PT. Bengkulu Mandiri has a field that is engaged in the sale of coal briquettes. In carrying out its business, it still uses a manual system by entering data into books. To avoid excessive inventory, this company should need a computer-based inventory system to help improve the quality needed by the company and prevent inventory buildup. The system implementation uses the Visual Basic.Net programming language and the research method used in this study is the waterfall method. the waterfall method is able to analyze the needs that are used to find out the weaknesses of the old system, then make the design of the design and proceed with making a new system design. The results of this research are the application of inventory is expected to provide convenience for officers in controlling and can help the process of purchasing transaction management, production processes and sales transactions through the automation function, so that the management process is more effective and efficient.Keywords: Inventory System, Coal Briquettes, Visual Basic.Net
