Introduction

It has brought paradigm shifts in the operations of hospitality industry. The overall perspective of the industry is changed due to introduction of new techniques

and methods of handling various processes. Awareness among the hoteliers and the guests has fuelled the inventions focused on operations. The increased sagacity of customer satisfaction led to the use of high standards of service in industry. The new service parameters made the hoteliers to implement quality management as an effective aid. It has significantly affected hotels' ability to control and adapt to changing environments. The use of new techniques began with the simple motive of sophistication and precise activities in the given field of operation which may result in high standards of service in global economy and has allowed the rise of a leisure class.

Conceptual Framework This study of Service quality management in hospitality industry is an attempt to understand the presence of quality improvement process in hospitality industry and effectiveness in making it sustainable business enterprise. It is a survey of the presently adopted quality management tools which are making the hotels operations safer, focused and reliable and meet the customer expectations.

As the hospitality industry becomes more competitive there is an obvious need to retain clientele as well as increasing profitability and hence management professionals strive to improve guest satisfaction and revenues. The management professionals whom are striving for these results however often have limited understanding of research surrounding the paradigms of guest satisfaction and loyalty and financial performance. This research paper shall enlighten some of the variables and important facts of service quality resulting into guest satisfaction.

Review of Literature

Customers of hospitality often blame themselves when dissatisfied for their bad choice. Employees must be aware that dissatisfied customers may not complain and therefore the employees should seek out sources of dissatisfaction and resolve them. (Zeithaml V., 1981, p.186 -190)It is said that service quality is what differentiates hospitality sector, however there is not an agreed definition of what service quality is. There is however a few different suggestions of how to define service quality. Dividing it into technical, functional and image components; (Greenrooms C., 1982) another is that service quality is determined by its fitness for use by internal and

external customers. It is accepted that service quality is depends upon guest's needs and expectations. A definition of service quality state that quality is simply conformance to specifications, which would mean that positive quality is when a product or service specific quality meet or exceed preset standards or promises. This however seems like an easy view within the hospitality industry. The alternative definitions read as follows: 1) quality is excellence; 2) quality is value for money; 3) quality is meeting or exceeding expectations. This appears better aligned with ideas which exist within hospitality management than the first mentioned simplistic approach. Service quality and value is rather difficult to calculate, companies must therefore rely on guest's quality perceptions and expectations to get consistent results which is best achieved by asking guest's questions related to expectations and their perceptions of the service quality, which can effectively be achieved through carefully designed surveys.

A major problem with service quality is variability and limited capability and robustness of the service production process. (Gummesson E., 1991) Hotels consumers have well-conceived ideas about service quality and quality attributes are considered important for most types of services, the absence of certain attributes may lead consumers to perceive service quality as poor. The presence of these attributes may not substantially improve the perceived quality of the service. Most customers would be willing to trade some convenience for a price break, and that the behavior, skill level and performance of service employees are key determinants of perceived quality of services. This is a major challenge in improving or maintaining a high level of service quality. (Tigineh M. et al 1992)Studies focusing on service quality management suggest that service firms spend too little effort on planning for service quality. The resultant costs of poor service quality planning lead to lower profitability as part of the service failures. (Stuart F., et al 1996)When discussing satisfaction, it is important to understand that guest's evaluation of service comprise of two basic distinct dimensions: service delivery and service outcome (Mattila, 1999). Research indicates that how the service was delivered (perceived functional quality) is more important than the outcome of the service process (technical quality). This research

clearly indicates that effort by staff have a strong effect on guest's satisfaction judgments.

Companies delivering services must broaden their examination of productivity to help settle conflicts – the leverage synergies – between improving service quality and boosting service productivity. ( Parasuraman A. 2002)A key activity is to conduct regularly scheduled review of progress by quality council or working group and management must establish a system to identify areas for future improvement and to track performance with respect to internal and external customers. They must also track the changing preferences of customer.

Continuous improvement means not only being satisfied with doing a good job or process. It is accomplished by incorporating process measurement and team problem solving an all work activities. Organization must continuously strive for excellence by reducing complexity, variation and out of control process. Plan-D-Study-Act (PDSA) developed by Shewhart and later on modified by Deming is an effective improvement technique. First Plan carefully, then carry out plan, study the results and check whether the plan worked exactly as intended and act on results by identifying what worked as planned and what didn't work. Continuous process improvement is the objective and these phases of PDSA are the framework to achieve those objectives. (Besterfield D. et al 2003)

The 'servicescape' -is a general term to describe the physical surroundings of a service environment (Reimer 2005, p. 786) such as a hotel or cruise ship. Guests are sometimes unconsciously trying to obtain as much information as possible through experiences to decrease information asymmetries This causes guests to look for quality signals or cues which would provide them with information about the service, which leads us to 'cue utilization theory'. Cue utilization theory states that products or services consist of several arrays of cues that serve as surrogate indicators of product or service quality. There are both intrinsic and extrinsic cues to help guests determine quality. Consequentially, due to the limited tangibility of services, guests are often left to accept the price of the experience and the physical appearance or environment of the hotel or cruise ship itself as quality indicators. Though there are many trade and

academic papers discussing guest satisfaction has been published, one can note that limited attention has been paid to the value perception and expectations guests have towards product delivery and influence price guests pay for an experience has on satisfaction and future spending. Furthermore it is also known that the role of pricing in relation to guest determinants of perceived quality of services. This is a major challenge in improving or maintaining a high level of service quality. (Tigineh M. et al 1992)

Studies focusing on service quality management suggest that service firms spend too little effort on planning for service quality.

The resultant costs of poor service quality planning lead to lower profitability as part of the service failures. (Stuart F., et al 1996)When discussing satisfaction, it is important to understand that guest's evaluation of service comprise of two basic distinct dimensions: service delivery and service outcome (Mattila, 1999). Research indicates that how the service was delivered (perceived functional quality) is more important than the outcome of the service process (technical quality). This research clearly indicates that effort by staff have a strong effect on guest's satisfaction judgments. Companies delivering services must broaden their examination of productivity to help settle conflicts –the leverage synergies –between improving service quality and boosting service productivity. ( Parasuraman A. 2002) Telephonic conversation with peers and friends in hospitality industry worked a wonder giving lots of inputs in drafting this paper. Secondary data sources- For this study, data sources such as hospitality journals, Books on service quality management, organization behavior, URL on internet of various hospitality majors. Referring hospitality publications were helpful in knowing the current inventions in industry.

Research Tools: Descriptive research design is used to know the attributes of service quality management in hospitality industry. Exploratory research design is undertaken to dig out the service quality management practices and its effectiveness. Data analysis is done and presented in tables. The hypothesis is tested against the collected data.

Hypotheses:The hypotheses framed for the subject are Hypothesis 1:

Implementing service quality management as a tool for improvement in Customer Satisfaction.

Hypothesis 2: Practicing Continuous Improvement program has benefited hotel.

Limitation & Scope of the Study: Though there was a specific questionnaire used for collecting information, the objective of the paper was well discussed with the every contributor and whatever the information was provided by these sources is arranged for further analysis. The analysis of the available data is done on the relevance to the topic. The effectiveness of the technology in conservation of resources was always a point of consideration. The data is sifted for making it as precise as possible.

Analysis and Discussions

There is a significant relationship between service quality management and customer satisfaction. In hospitality industry, the customer satisfaction variables such as Availability, Access, Information, Time, delivery of service, availability of personal competence, Comfortable and safer atmosphere and pollution free environment are of prime concern to every hotelier. The industry continuously tries to improve upon their services to meet the levels of customer satisfaction.

The intangible nature of the service as a product means that it could be very difficult to place quantifiable terms on the features that contribute to the quality and measurement of the quality of the product is a problem for Service quality management. The customer is frequently directly involved in the delivery of the service and as such introduces an unknown and unpredictable influence on the process.

The customer variability in the process makes it difficult to determine the exact requirements of the customer and what they regard as an acceptable standard of service.

This problem is magnified as it is often judgmental, based on personal preferences or even mood, rather than on technical performance that can be measured. Every hotel has a target market to cater which has very specific requirement in terms of expected and perceived quality of service.

The customers come with different perception of quality every time they come to hotel and this makes it quite difficult to define quality and set the level of it. It requires hotel to continuously compare their perception against customer perception in terms of satisfaction measurement with performance measurement. The study has shown that the effective tools which management of various hotels uses for continuous improvement process and how it is dissipated amongst all the stake holders.

摘要

本文旨在研究酒店业中质量改进过程的作用以及如何有效地推动企业的可持续发展。这是对目前采用的质量管理工具的酒店,是否能运营地更好,更关注客户满意度的一个调查。描述性研究设计用于了解酒店业服务质量管理的参数。进行探索性研究设计是为了找出服务质量管理实践及其效果。完成并展示数据分析。假设是对收集到的数据进行测试,因为酒店行业能够不断尝试改进他们的服务,以满足客户满意度的水平。本研究展示了持续改善过程的工具,以及它如何使所有股东都获益。从本项研究中,可以推断出酒店会不断地实现持续改进流程和使用质量管理工具,以在市场上保持竞争力。这项研究涉及到的酒店数量有限,不过都是在市场上具有高度竞争力酒店。这限制了酒店行业的研究,以及对其他范围的研究,包括酒店服务提供商。

关键词:客户满意度;感知;绩效评估;持续改进过程

引言

酒店业自成立以来经历了许多变化。由于各种原因,在一段时间内发生巨大的变化。客户偏好等原因可能会改变酒店运营模式, 其他原因包括:工业化、交通和航空的革命、法律法规的改变等等。在过去的几十年里,酒店行业经历了惊人的变化,主要是服务质量的提高。

它推动了酒店业的范式转换。行业的整体视角发生了改变了。主要是由于新技术和方法的引入,以用来处理各种流程。酒店和客户意识刺激了酒店业运营模式的革新。睿智的增加客户满意度导致了服务行业使用越来越高的标准。这项新的服务标准要求使酒店将实现质量管理作为企业管理一个有效的措施。它显著地影响了酒店的控制能力,并加强了酒店对不断变化的环境的适应能力。新技术的使用始于简单的动机,在给定领域的复杂和精确的操作活动可能会导致全球经济和高标准的服务。

酒店业的服务质量管理研究的概念框架是旨在理解酒店业的质量改进过程,以及如何推动企业的可持续发展。这是对目前采用的质量管理工具的酒店,是否能运营地更好,更关注客户满意度的一个调查。

随着酒店业变得更具竞争力,因此,设法维持客户关系以及提高酒店的盈利能力是很有必要的,管理人员要努力提高客户满意度和企业收入。然而追求这些目标的管理学研究人员往往是围绕客户满意度和忠诚度的范例和财务表现有限研究。本研究则提出了提高酒店服务质量的方法,以不断地满足客户的预期。

文献回顾

酒店的顾客,经常责怪自己对酒店的选择,不满意酒店的服务。员工必须知道顾客不满,可能并不会不抱怨出来,因此对于不满的顾客,酒店雇员应该设法寻求找到对酒店不满意的客户并设法解决这些问题。(特哈姆尔,1981年)酒店业的服务质量,各家酒店都有所差别,然而关于什么是服务质量,却并没有一个统一的定义。然而有一些学者提出了不同的建议,关于如何定义酒店的服务质量。他们把它分为技术、功能和图像组件几个模块。(格林诺姆,1982)另一个原因是,服务质量决定于酒店的内部和外部的顾客的反馈。他们认为服务质量取决于客人的需求和期望。服务质量的定义,质量完全符合规范,这意味着当酒店提供的产品或服务质量达到或超过了客户的预设标准,则可以说酒店提供的服务是高质量的。但是, 在酒店业中,这一定义似乎过于简单了。还有一些定义,如下所述:(1)质量是卓越的;(2)质量是物有所值的;(3)质量达到或超出预期。这样的定义看起来比之前的定义更适合于酒店行业。服务质量和价值的计算是相当困难的,因此,企业必须依靠客人对酒店的质量感知和期望以得到结果,最好是通过对客人进行访谈,了解他们的期望和对服务质量的看法,这样可以通过精心设计

的调查问卷来实现。

服务质量的一个主要问题是可变性、有限的服务,以及服务过程的稳定性。(古姆松,1991)酒店消费者认为,服务质量和质量属性对于大多数类型的服务来说都是很重要的,缺乏某些属性可能会导致消费者的感知服务质量差。虽然,这些属性的存在可能不会大幅提高服务的感知质量。大多数客户对服务的便利性和价格都比较在意,服务员工的技术水平和服务质量也都是关键因素。这是一个重大的挑战,对于改善或保持一个高水平的服务质量。(蒂基尼等,1992)关注服务质量的管理研究表明,服务类公司在服务质量提高上的努力不够。服务质量差,会导致较低的盈利能力,这也是作为服务失败的一部分因素。(斯图尔特等1996)当讨论满意度时,重要的是要明白客人对服务的评价,主要包括两个基本的不同维度:服务交付和服务结果(马提拉,1999)。研究表明,如何完成服务交付(感知功能质量)服务过程比结果更重要(技术质量)。这项研究清楚地表明,员工对客人的满意度的判断有强烈个人主观上的影响。

公司提供服务,必须考虑到扩大他们的服务能力来帮助解决冲突—杠杆之间的协同效应,改善服务质量,提高服务效率。(帕拉休拉曼,2002)一个关键活动就是进行定期的质量评审,质量管理委员会或工作小组必须对未来的客户服务质量的改进和绩效跟踪建立一个系统识别领域。他们还必须跟踪客户不断变化的偏好。

持续的服务质量改进方法不只是满足于做好一个工作或流程,它是通过对服务过程的评估,以及团队合作解决工作活动中的问题来实现。通过减少复杂性,组织必须不断追求卓越的改进和控制过程。计划-执行-研究-行动(PDSA)由美国质量管理专家W·爱德华兹·戴明博士强烈推荐的一种简单的改进方法,它是全面质量管理所应遵循的科学程序,是一种有效的改进技术。首先要仔细计划,然后实施计划,研究结果和检查是否完全按预期的工作计划和实现了行动结果。持续过程改进的目标就是通过PDSA框架来实现。(本斯特菲尔德等2003) “服务视角”是一个通用术语,来描述服务的物理环境(雷蒙2005),比如一个酒店或游轮。客人有时会无意识地试图通过经验获得尽可能多的信息来减少信息不对称问题,寻找有服务需求的客户,并暗示客人将为他们提供服务,就是所谓的“线索利用率理论”。(完整译文请到百度文库)线索利用率理论指出,产品或

Inventory management Inventory Control On the so-called "inventory control", many people will interpret it as a "storage management", which is actually a big distortion. The traditional narrow view, mainly for warehouse inventory control of materials for inventory, data processing, storage, distribution, etc., through the implementation of anti-corrosion, temperature and humidity control means, to make the custody of the physical inventory to maintain optimum purposes. This is just a form of inventory control, or can be defined as the physical inventory control. How, then, from a broad perspective to understand inventory control? Inventory control should be related to the company's financial and operational objectives, in particular operating cash flow by optimizing the entire demand and supply chain management processes (DSCM), a reasonable set of ERP control strategy, and supported by appropriate information processing tools, tools to achieved in ensuring the timely delivery of the premise, as far as possible to reduce inventory levels, reducing inventory and obsolescence, the risk of devaluation. In this sense, the physical inventory control to achieve financial goals is just a means to control the entire inventory or just a necessary part; from the perspective of organizational functions, physical inventory control, warehouse management is mainly the responsibility of The broad inventory control is the demand and supply chain management, and the whole company's responsibility. Why until now many people's understanding of inventory control, limited physical inventory control? The following two reasons can not be ignored: First, our enterprises do not attach importance to inventory control. Especially those who benefit relatively good business, as long as there is money on the few people to consider the problem of inventory turnover. Inventory control is simply interpreted as warehouse management, unless the time to spend money, it may have been to see the inventory problem, and see the results are often very simple procurement to buy more, or did not do warehouse departments . Second, ERP misleading. Invoicing software is simple audacity to call it ERP, companies on their so-called ERP can reduce the number of inventory, inventory control, seems to rely on their small software can get. Even as SAP, BAAN ERP world, the field of

旅游服务贸易的国际竞争力:罗马尼亚的案例 引言 旅游业是唯一的可以为任何发展水平的国家提供贸易机会的服务活动。然而,它也是一个很大程度因为国家的能力和在全球经济中的表现而又有明确的利益分配不均行业,而这又需要提高自己的竞争力。 自20世纪90年代初,罗马尼亚旅游业经历了出口量,生长速率和结构的重大变化。这些不同的波动都影响了罗马尼亚在国际旅游市场上相对的竞争地位并引起了其旅游贸易平衡的变化。同时,新的和更多的错杂的欧式建筑,引起了罗马尼亚的区域旅游竞争力的显著变化。 在此背景下,本文试图提出一个框架,以竞争力和旅游贸易表现之间的关系为重点,来评估罗马尼亚的旅游服务贸易的国际竞争力。 一、国际竞争力视角:国际竞争力之与国际旅游业的相关性 国际竞争力的概念,尽管有争议,难以捉摸,但现在已经得到认可,并继续吸引世界各地的学者和决策者的关注。 到目前为止,为提高国际竞争力已采取措施,都被认为是在经济层面进行的(加瑞利,2003)通常是指一个国家生产的商品和服务,以满足国际市场的考验,并同时保持和增加公民的收入的能力(欧洲委员会,2007)。 由于竞争力最终取决于一国企业在国内和国际的市场成功,所以对竞争力的注意力都集中在企业层面的竞争力上(波特,1990),对于此的普遍理解是指“……该公司保持,并更好的是,扩大其全球市场份额,增加和扩大利润的能力” (克拉克和盖,1998, 经济合作与发展组织,1993)。 因此,虽然广泛流传但是国际竞争力作为与国家经济和其国际贸易相关

的理论基础已经不太在学术文献进行分析。因此,一个国家国际竞争力的性质,效益和局限性仍然含糊不清(科尔德威尔,2000,克鲁格曼,1994, 1996)。 国际竞争力,是指一个国家在货物和服务贸易方面巩固和保持贸易优势相对于世界其他地区的贸易优势。 每当一个国家的经济福利通过贸易流量的增加,或通过从初始平衡状态的贸易条件的改变而增加,他的国际竞争力都会得到提高(科尔德威尔,2000)。 贸易理论表示,经济福利依赖于一个国家有比较优势的货物和服务的生产。这实际上意味着当生产符合一国的比较优势的情况时国际竞争力能得到保障。如果一国能在国际上表现良好并在出口市场竞争成功,这可能就是他们健全的国际竞争力的标志。 因此,在国际上,竞争力定义为一个经济体能够吸引其出口需求和投资供给需求的能力和在所有社会规范内提升公民生活水平的能力。这反过来又取决于宏观和微观经济政策,影响生产的经济生产率要素和经营成本的法规和制度。 一个可用的文献回顾和实证证据支持国际竞争力可以解释为在一定程度上,一个国家的出口能力这一观点(道乐和沃尔夫,1993, 格博格等. 2004)。还有就是,事实上,是出口表现和国际竞争力之间的循环关系。出口是国际竞争力的第一衡量指标。出口情况的改善会导致了一个国家的竞争力提升。这种效果是一个企业的技能,知识,创新和运用新技术并能够在一个成功的商业方式中利用技术机会等的结果。 另一方面,为了在竞争激烈的全球市场努力成功实现出口,一个国家被迫提高竞争力。更具竞争力的国家,它的经济更强大。因此,它更有能力在全球市场竞争,以吸引具有较高的知识,技能,水平人们去购买新技术等,

中英文对照资料外文翻译文献 Hotel Management System Integration Services 1.Introduction It is generally accepted that the role of the web services in businesses is undoubtedly important. More and more commercial software systems extend their capability and power by using web services technology. Today the e-commerce is not merely using internet to transfer business data or supporting people to interact with dynamic web page, but are fundamentally changed by web services. The World Wide Web Consortium's Xtensible Markup Language (XML) and the Xtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) are standards defined in the interest of multi-purpose publishing and content reuse and are increasingly being deployed in the construction of web services. Since XML is looked as the canonical message format, it could tie together thousands of systems programmed by hundreds of programming languages. Any program can be mapped into web service, while any web service can also be mapped into program. In this paper, we present a next generation commercial system in hotel industry that fully integrates the hotel Front Office system, Property Management System, Customer Relationship Management System, Quality Management system, Back Office system and Central Reservations System distributed in different locations. And we found that this system greatly improves both the hotel customer and hotel officer’s experiences in the hotel business work flow. Because current technologies are quite mature, it seems no difficulty to integrate the existing system and the new coming systems (for example, web-based applications or mobile applications). However, currently in hotel industry there are few truly integrated systems used because there

大学毕业论文---软件专业外文文献中英文翻译

软件专业毕业论文外文文献中英文翻译 Object landscapes and lifetimes Tech nically, OOP is just about abstract data typing, in herita nee, and polymorphism, but other issues can be at least as importa nt. The rema in der of this sect ion will cover these issues. One of the most importa nt factors is the way objects are created and destroyed. Where is the data for an object and how is the lifetime of the object con trolled? There are differe nt philosophies at work here. C++ takes the approach that con trol of efficie ncy is the most importa nt issue, so it gives the programmer a choice. For maximum run-time speed, the storage and lifetime can be determined while the program is being written, by placing the objects on the stack (these are sometimes called automatic or scoped variables) or in the static storage area. This places a priority on the speed of storage allocatio n and release, and con trol of these can be very valuable in some situati ons. However, you sacrifice flexibility because you must know the exact qua ntity, lifetime, and type of objects while you're writing the program. If you are trying to solve a more general problem such as computer-aided desig n, warehouse man ageme nt, or air-traffic con trol, this is too restrictive. The sec ond approach is to create objects dyn amically in a pool of memory called the heap. In this approach, you don't know un til run-time how many objects you n eed, what their lifetime is, or what their exact type is. Those are determined at the spur of the moment while the program is runnin g. If you n eed a new object, you simply make it on the heap at the point that you n eed it. Because the storage is man aged dyn amically, at run-time, the amount of time required to allocate storage on the heap is sig ni fica ntly Ion ger tha n the time to create storage on the stack. (Creat ing storage on the stack is ofte n a si ngle assembly in structio n to move the stack poin ter dow n, and ano ther to move it back up.) The dyn amic approach makes the gen erally logical assumpti on that objects tend to be complicated, so the extra overhead of finding storage and releas ing that storage will not have an importa nt impact on the creati on of an object .In additi on, the greater flexibility is esse ntial to solve the gen eral program ming problem. Java uses the sec ond approach, exclusive". Every time you want to create an object, you use the new keyword to build a dyn amic in sta nee of that object. There's ano ther issue, however, and that's the lifetime of an object. With Ian guages that allow objects to be created on the stack, the compiler determines how long the object lasts and can automatically destroy it. However, if you create it on the heap the compiler has no kno wledge of its lifetime. In a Ianguage like C++, you must determine programmatically when to destroy the

中国服务贸易的国际竞争力探析——文献综述

中国服务贸易的国际竞争力探析 ——文献综述 随着世界经济进入服务经济时代,以产品为基础的竞争向以服务为基础的竞争转变,服务业在维护一国经济和政治利益方面处于重要的战略地位。据WTO发布的数据显示,全球服务贸易总体发展的趋势在不断加强,1980年到2007年间,世界服务贸易出口额从3650亿美元扩大到33000亿美元,27年间增长了8倍,占世界贸易出口的比重从1/7增长到近1/3。在2010年,世界服务贸易达到了36595亿美元,占当年世界贸易总额的1/3。由此可见,服务贸易势必成为全球经济发展的重要组成部分。 服务贸易在全球贸易比重不断增加,世界各国都从国际服务贸易中受益颇丰,此时,对我国服务贸易的竞争力进行研究,分析我国服务贸易发展不足的原因,发掘我国服务贸易的潜在优势以及探究提升我国服务贸易竞争力的策略便具有非常重要的意义。 1.服务贸易及其国际竞争力的定义 《服务贸易总协定》(General Agreements on Trade in Service,GATS,1994年4月15日),其中对服务贸易做出了明确的定义:第一,跨境提供(cross-border supply),即从缔约方境内向任何其他缔约方境内提供服务,这种服务无需人员、物资和资金流动,而是通过现代通讯、邮电、计算机网络实现的视听、金融、信息等服务;第二,境外消费(consumption abroad),即缔约方境内任何向其他缔约方消费者提供服务,如接待外国游客、提供旅游服务,为国外病人提供医疗服务,接受外国留学生等;第三,商业存在(commercial

Presence),即一缔约方在其他任何缔约方境内通过提供服务的商业存在而提供服务,如外国公司在中国开办银行、商店,设立会计、律师事务所等;第四,自然人流动(movement of natural persons),即一缔约方的自然人在其他任何缔约方境内提供服务,如一国的医生、教授、艺术家到另一国从事个体服务。 服务贸易国际竞争力是指一个国家或地区在经济全球化趋势下,以提高国民收入和生活水平为目的,服务业参与国际市场竞争,创造增加值并保持良好的国际收支平衡的能力。在此,不仅强调出口能力,更重要的是保持国际收支的平衡。 2.国外学者相关研究 2.1对于国际服务贸易竞争力理论方面的研究 迈克尔·波特(Michael E·Porter),1990年提出了国家竞争优势理论,将竞争力与产业结合起来进行研究。在《国家竞争优势》一书中,他提出了著名的“产业国际竞争力国家钻石模型”,用一个形似钻石的菱形图表示出国家竞争力的四大要素(生产要素;需求条件;相关与支持性产业企业战略、结构、同业竞争)和两个辅助因素(机会和政府)。后来,有人将这一理论引入国际服务贸易领域,发现该理论不仅能较为全面和系统地对服务贸易格局进行解释与总结,而且对一国服务贸易的未来发展有一定的前瞻性和预见性,因此能更好地适应国际服务贸易的发展要求。 对于国际贸易比较优势方面,联合国贸发会国际贸易高级专家Murry Gibbs和Michiko Hayashi作了一个较为全面的总结,认为自然资源要素禀赋固然是决定一国服务贸易比较优势的一个方面,但一国服务贸易的比较优势还要取决于该国的经济发展水平和发展类型,以

互利共赢的供应商质量控制 前言 近年来,随着对供应链的重视,供应商管理正逐渐成为企业和学术界的关注对象,IS09000族标准以及QS 9000标准都对供应商的管理提出了相应的要求,与供应商管理有关的研究成果正逐渐增多,一些软件巨头也推出了供应商关系管理的软件,但是在这些研究成果和应用软件中,涉及到的供应商质量控制的内容只是一些最基本的要求,而供应商质量控制恰恰是供应商管理的最基本、最重要的内容。另一方而,质量管理界对质量控制的研究取得了大量的成果,遗憾的是这些成果大多依然局限于企业的内部控制,仅仅研究从企业内部各环节如何改善产品的质量,而基于供应链的角度来研究质量控制的成果尚不多见。因此,系统地研究经济全球化形势下供应商质量控制的理论与方法,将有助于推动我国企业产品质量的快速提高和供应链竞争优势的形成与巩固。 1、质量与企业共存 质量一直是一个随着时代的变化而不断变化的概念,人们对质量的认识也往往因关注点不同而有所不同。如,早在1908年,通用汽车公司的工程师们在皇家汽车俱乐部会员们的面前拆解了3辆凯迪拉克轿车,并把这些零件混在一起,而后从中选择零件重新组装成车,然后驾车绝尘而去。这令在场的会员极为震惊,认为凯迪拉克车质量之高令人惊叹。显然在当时,汽车零件具有互换性是一种了不起的质量特性,这也是福特公司的N型车和T型车取得辉煌成功的重要原因.时至今日,即使农用三轮车的零部件也具有极高的互换性,零部件的标准化和互换性已经是理所当然的事情,不再是吸引顾客的重要质量特性.可见质量的内涵是不断变化的.那么究竟什么是质量呢? (1)市场竟争就是企业间对“顾客”的争夺,在日益激烈的“顾客"争夺战中,质量、价格、交付(交付日期、方式和手段)和服务是企业常用的四个法宝,其中质量是根本,离开质量其他三项将变得毫无意义,因此可以说质量己成为市场竞争的焦点.它反映了产品是否能够反映顾客需求、能否满足顾客需求,从面决定了产品的市场前途。有鉴于此,质量己成为一项全球性运动,世界上所有优秀企业无一不把质量作为企业战略的关键内容,从战略的角度来规划质量。 (2)对于企业经营者来说,认识到质量对企业的重要意义只是经营企业的第一步,重要的是如何利用科学的方法来保证产品和服务的质量,使顾客满意,来保证过程和工作的质量来获互利共炭的供应商质量控制得良好的业绩。 众所周知,企业管理是社会生产力发展到一定程度的历史产物,质量管理作为企业管理的组成部分,同样也是社会发展的客观要求,特别是顾客处于主导地位的今天,要使顾客满意,就必须有过硬的产品质量和服务质量,这就要求企业积极推行先进的质量管理理论与方法,不断进行质量管理创新. 2、企业与供应商质量控制 随着生产社会化的不断发展,企业的生产活动分工越来越细,专业化程度越来越强,促使生产技术水平越来越高,产品质量得到大幅度改善。通常,某一产品不可能由一个企业从最初的原材料开始加工直至形成顾客最终使用的产品,往往是通过多个企业分工协作来完成.另外,先进生产方式的广泛应用,如准时生产、敏捷制造、零库存等,使企业与供应商的关系愈加紧密,企业与供应商的关系也由单纯的买卖关系向互利共底的合作关系演变。 ISO 9000族标准自1987年诞生以来受到了世界各国的一致追捧,全球约50多万家企业通过ISO9001质量管理体系认证足以说明这套管理标准在引领国际管理潮流方面的巨大成功。在备受企业欢迎的新版标准ISO9000:2000中,互利的供应商关系被作为八项质量管理原则之一,充分体现了供应商关系管理在企业经营实践中的作用和价值。企业要贯彻这一原则,就必须

对行销售人员激励机制分析 1激励机制的描述 1.1激励理论主要是研究激发人们行为动机的各种因素。由于人类行为 的原动力是需要,因此这种理论实际上就是围绕着人们的各种需要来进行研究。主要包括马斯洛的赫茨伯格的双因素理论、奥尔德弗的“ERG”理论、需要层次理论和麦克利兰的成就需要激励理论。 1.2 过程型激励理论重点研究人从动机产生到采取行动的心理过程。 包括亚当斯的公平理论、佛隆的期望理论和斯金纳的强化理论。 二对行销售人员激励机制分析 美国心理学家佛隆在1964年首先提出期望理论,人之所以能够完成某项工作并达成组织目标,因为这些组织目标和工作会帮助他们达成自己的目标。根据期望理论,某一活动对某人的激发力量取决于他所能得到的结果的全部预期价值乘以他认为达成该结果的期望概率。这就要求要处理好三个方面的关系:绩效与奖励的关系、努力与绩效的关系、奖励与个人需要的关系,任何一个环节都不能出现问题,否则都会导致无效激励。 从以期望理论为代表的过程型激励理论与内容型激励理论的观点来看,激励过程的科学性和合理性、激励手段对销售人员个性化需求的满足程度构成了激励的两要素。由此看出,销售人员的激励机制确实有改进的必要。 三销售人员激励体制中不足原因 3.1激励方式单一,过分依靠货币等物质激励手段而忽视精神激励的重要作用,销售人员没有归属感,缺少团队凝聚力。即使在物质激励方面,也是“佣金制”和“提成制”的天下,收入的多少完全依据销售额或利润额的多少,无视死去差异和个人实际努力程度,激励不公现象十分普遍。 3.2晋升制度僵硬,论资排辈,讲资历而忽视能力,讲关系而忽视业务水平,人浮于事,优秀人才流失严重,已不再适应市场竞争的需要。 3.3多数企业没有完整的培训激励机制,企业只注重“挖人”而非培养,因而满足不了销售人员自我发展的需要。

java毕业论文外文文献翻译

Advantages of Managed Code Microsoft intermediate language shares with Java byte code the idea that it is a low-level language witha simple syntax , which can be very quickly translated intonative machine code. Having this well-defined universal syntax for code has significant advantages. Platform independence First, it means that the same file containing byte code instructions can be placed on any platform; atruntime the final stage of compilation can then be easily accomplished so that the code will run on thatparticular platform. In other words, by compiling to IL we obtain platform independence for .NET, inmuch the same way as compiling to Java byte code gives Java platform independence. Performance improvement IL is actually a bit more ambitious than Java bytecode. IL is always Just-In-Time compiled (known as JIT), whereas Java byte code was ofteninterpreted. One of the disadvantages of Java was that, on execution, the process of translating from Javabyte code to native executable resulted in a loss of performance. Instead of compiling the entire application in one go (which could lead to a slow start-up time), the JITcompiler simply compiles each portion of code as it is called (just-in-time). When code has been compiled.once, the resultant native executable is stored until the application exits, so that it does not need to berecompiled the next time that portion of code is run. Microsoft argues that this process is more efficientthan compiling the entire application code at the start, because of the likelihood that large portions of anyapplication code will not actually be executed in any given run. Using the JIT compiler, such code willnever be compiled.
