While tourism represents an important development opportunity for many countries and communities, it can also have very negative impacts, such as disrupting social structures, harm- ing the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, and threatening natural and cultural heritage. Wise planning and management of tourism development is key to keeping it a force for good. Tourism is truly cross-sectoral, involving a wide range of issues that can include the following: multiple stakeholders at both national and local levels • trade and investment policy must be able to access the information they need to un- • employment and labor laws derstand their long-term interests, articulate their opin- • enterprise development ions, identify proposals, and network effectively with one • public-private partnerships another.

The increase in flows measured since 1950 equals an average annual growth of 6.5%. In that same period revenues have risen at an average rate of 11% a year. This growth rate far outstrips that of the world economy as a whole. According to the projections of UNWTO, international tourist arrivals will double in the next two decades and possibly reach 1.6 billion in 2020 (UNWTO, Tourism 2020 Vision). Domestic tourism is also dynamically growing in both developed and developing countries. 3 World Travel and Tourism Economy employment is estimated at 234,305,000 jobs in 2006, 8.7% of total employment. 2006 Travel and Tourism Economic Research of the World Travel & Tourism Council and Accenture.

    Technology in Gifted Education: A Review of Best Practices and Empirical Research JRTE | Vol. 45, No. 2, pp. 153–169 | ©2012 ISTE | iste.org/jrte Technology in Gifted Education: A Review of Best Practices and Empirical Research Sita Periathiruvadi and Anne N. Rinn University of North Texas Abstract The article aims to explore the progress of technology use in gifted education and highlight the best practices and empirical research in this area. The litera- ture on the use of technology with gifted students and their teachers has been extensive, with articles on best practices, but the empirical research in this area is still emerging. With the increasing interest and awareness about integrating technology, this review will be useful for helping teachers, practitioners, and researchers understand how technology has been used in different areas of gifted programming, including learning and development, assessment, cur- riculum, learning environments, and professional development. The authors also discuss the current research on technology use in general education and offer suggestions for future research in this area with gifted children and their teachers. (Keywords: computers, best practices, technology, gifted, talented) ifted education began in the United States in the late 1800s but didn’t gain momentum until after the launch of the Russian satellite GSputnik in 1957 (Davis, Rimm, & Siegle, 2011). Today, each state in the United States has its own method of educating gifted students, but most states operate using the federal definition of gifted and talented: Gifted children are those identified by professionally qualified persons who by virtue of outstanding abilities are capable of high performance.

(2014) “Integrating global mobility and global talent management: exploring the challenges and strategic opportunities’, Journal of World Business, 49: 2, 253–261.

[email protected] Integrating Global Mobility and Global Talent Management: Exploring the Challenges and Strategic Opportunities Abstract Although global mobility represents an important element of many multinational enterprise’s (MNEs) global talent management systems, the two areas of practice have largely been decoupled in research and practice. The current paper aims to build a dialog around the integration of these two important areas of practice and illustrate how the integration of global mobility and global talent management can contribute to the success of the MNE. Human capital and social capital theories are introduced as theoretical frames for the integration of the two areas and global talent pools and routines for managing global staffing flows are introduced as key organizational routines that can maximize the contribution of global mobility to the MNE. The paper also considers challenges and opportunities for the integration of mobility and talent and outlines some directions for future study. Key Words Global talent management, global mobility, expatriation, inpatriation, talent pool, human capital theory, social capital theory. 2 Introduction The centrality of global talent management (GTM) to the achievement of multinational enterprises’ (MNEs) strategic objectives has become widely acknowledged in recent years (Scullion, Collings and Caligiuri, 2010; Stahl et al, 2012; Tarique and Schuler, 2010).
