Taking into account the structure and challenges of the tourism industry in the Nordic region, the different case studies in this report represent different approaches to efficient use of ICT, offering a toolbox consisting of suggestions on how to take advantage of ICT for market communication, customer knowledge, service design and innovation. The report is a result of a collaborative project between 6 Nordic partners (research institutions and business clusters based in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Southern Norway, and Northern Norway) which focused on identifying and developing ICT tools for innovation in Nordic tourism small businesses and destinations. The main objectives of the project have been to generate knowledge on ICT tools, to create improved commercial tools and concepts and also to build a strong Nordic cooperation between academic institutions and business clusters. The tools in the toolbox created as the main contribution from this project are all innovative and should as such serve as opportunities for both commercial development and implementation in various subsectors of the tourism industry and facilitate increased competitiveness. A strong Nordic cooperation between the tourism stakeholders and development and research institutes involved in the project is also an important outcome. The project has been implemented through parallel case studies which are all ground breaking in terms of research and development for innovation in tourism. Regular meetings and workshops have facilitated the exchange of knowledge and ideas between the case studies as well as the identification of common ideas and results. Multiple methods have been employed in the different cases of the project according to the nature of each case study. Two of the cases have developed and implemented ICT prototypes in the form of a new innovative mobile application (Denmark) and a business intelligence process for analyzing user generated content in a destination management information system (Sweden). In the Finish case ethnographic methods were used to develop a service design method and tool specifically for the tourism industry. The Icelandic case employed an online survey and website analysis for the purpose of building a webpage-design toolbox. Interview methods as well as review and participant observation was used in Northern Norway to explore effects of implementing short films as digital marketing tools for experience based businesses. Also, in the case in Southern Norway in-depth interviews were used to identify open innovation practices for experience based tourism businesses. The project has resulted in the development of a digital toolbox. The seven tools in the toolbox are: A mobile app (Pick your food with your mobile, Denmark) A service design toolkit (Finland) A customer knowledge tool (Customer journey canvas (Finland) A website analysis toolkit (Iceland) A user generated content sentiment analysis tool (Sweden) A methodology for open innovation (Southern Norway) A digital marketing tool (Short films for digital marketing, Northern Norway) The project also generated a few further findings on capabilities for competitiveness, customer knowledge for innovation, and digital marketing and social media for tourism SMEs. 5 Both tourism businesses, especially SMEs, and destination management organizations at local, regional, and national level will benefit from the results of this project. The benefits can be described as new knowledge and key insights as well as new practices which can be implemented and further developed and adapted to specific contexts. The tools are focused on using ICT for marketing and management of tourism as well as the implementation of new experience based services for new and existing businesses and customers. The tools also offer opportunities for further development and commercial implementation among various tourism stakeholders. Recommendations for further work within this field based on the project outcomes include; technological testing of the developed prototypes, identifying partners for further development of the prototypes, testing the tools (proof of concept) in various tourism markets, larger scale implementation for the purpose of evaluating expected effects, further empirical examination of proposed concepts, and identifying potential barriers and strategies to overcome these in order to achieve the full effect of the tools in the toolbox. It seems imperative to continue working on these issues both from a market failure perspective – because of the structural challenges described in the report, SMEs may need help, but also because employing ICT tools that cater to the particular needs of the businesses in their operations is vital to the competitiveness of the industry. Further, the Nordic tourism industry shares many characteristics, and this project illustrates the value and potential of cooperation on the industry’s challenges on a Nordic level. 6 TABLE OF CONTENT Participants ................................................................................................................................. 3 Table of content .......................................................................................................................... 7 PART 1 ........................................................................................................................................... 8 1.0 Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 8 2.0 ICT in the experience economy in the Nordic Countries ........................................................ 9 3.0 Characteristics of the Nordic tourism industry ...................................................................... 11 4.0 The case studies providing the digital toolbox ..................................................................... 14 4.1 Pick your food with your mobile - Denmark ...................................................................... 14 4.2 Service design and customer journey canvas - Finland .................................................. 14 4.3 Website analysis of tourism companies in North Iceland - Iceland ................................... 14 4.4 UGC and business intelligence - Sweden ........................................................................ 15 4.5 Open innovation

    Monika Kostera ‘...a remarkable book, simultaneously profound, thought-provoking, and beautiful.’ – Professor Daved Barry Inspirations and Ideas for Self- Organization and Self-Management Organize Ourselves! Organize ‘This is a tremendously important text, standing out among the rising tide of studies and manifestoes aimed at tapping the heretofore neglected yet profuse supplies of human faculties and energies marginalized and suppressed by the orthodox bureaucratic model of management. It offers simultaneously a profound diagnosis of the current state of affairs, an exhaustive inventory of its limitations and deficiencies - as well as opening new vistas and presenting a thorough analysis of an art of management fit to avail itself of the novel opportunities the post- bureaucratic era might offer.’ – Zygmunt Bauman ‘In its playful style, its photographic illustrations from the author’s valuable collection, its joyful spirit, and its’ totally uninhibited mix of personal storytelling and poetry, this book draws the reader into the author’s private life with the free ranging discussion of ideas. It provides a welcome antidote to the stifling straightness of much academic writing.’ – Professor Yiannis Gabriel, University of Bath and University of Lund ‘This great book uses the idea of organization as an injunction to take back ‘management’ from those who wish to make it a discipline based on hierarchy and order. Monika Kostera celebrates all the things in heaven and earth that are not dreamed of in conventional managerialism, and use them as springboards to different ways of thinking about management. Read this book if you want to ‘occupy management’, to make management yours, and make a form of knowledge that can be used by the 99%.’ – Professor Martin Parker, Bristol University i ii Organize Ourselves! iii Published by Mayfly Books.

Interest Based Ad He’s mastered piano riffs, guitar chords, synth codes and keys. Up next— calligraphy. Maybe not quite, but Chris Walla has always drawn on China for inspiration. That Mandarin fixation sets itself far apart from any of his other endeavours—playing and producing for indie super troupe Death Cab For Cutie, or personals hopping behind the studio mixing boards for countless other all star songwriters like The Decemberists and Tegan and Sara. To tap into that Chinese muse, he needed nothing more than his father’s briefcase and business plans. “My dad spent a good chunk of my childhood in China and he always loved it,” the songwriter and producer says of his father’s Far East business trips while working for the Boeing Airline Company in the mid to late 1980s.

    Teevens Trash Round 1

    Teevens Trash Round 1 1. One deleted scene from this film sees the protagonist visiting an abandoned school house that is now used for storage, and seeing bullet holes on the chalk board. One location in this film was explained by the Meissner Effect, and that location disrupts navigational instruments. That home to the Ikran is known as the Hallelujah Mountains. One creature in this film is called “last shadow,” and this movie’s protagonist tames it through “the great link” and becomes Toruk Makto. Also featuring the destruction of the Home Tree, this film centers on the struggles of the Na’vi people against humans trying to mine Unobtanium. For 10 points, identify this James Cameron-directed movie staring Sam Worthington as Jake Sully. ANSWER: Avatar 2. This band’s second EP Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough is a collection of cover versions of songs produced by Fat Possum Records. “I am the Earth, the planet you call home,” appears on the track “240 Years Before Your Time” off their first album, which also contains a song that commands you to perform the title action “til’ the broad daylight,” “Do the Rump.” Besides that album The Big Come Up, this band’s most recent album features the tracks “Mind Eraser” and “Gold on the Ceiling,” but this Akron group may be better known for a song with the line “Sick for days. So many ways.” For 10 points, name this rock duo of the albums El Camino and Brothers, which contains the track “Tighten Up.” ANSWER: The Black Keys 3.

Guridy, Supervisor Virginia Garrard-Burnett Mark Atwood Lawrence Megan Raby Paul S. Sutter From Disease to Desire: Panama and the Rise of the Caribbean Vacation by Blake Charles Scott, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2016 Acknowledgements If you are expecting a fun-filled guide to pampered leisure, then you should put this story back on the shelf. What follows may be disturbing and ruin your vacation. Facts sometimes have that affect: In 1903, W.E.B. Du Bois declared “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.”1 Over the last one hundred years, the “color line” – with small actions and huge historical turns – has slowly eroded only to reveal equally pervasive lines of privilege and inequality. Today, it seems, the problem of the twentieth-first century is the problem of mobility. Some people can travel and change their reality, and some cannot. Some people travel for pleasure and in luxury, while others travel to survive, to escape war and poverty. The origins of this problem are old, but its sustaining ideas and practices have taken on renewed power in the modern era.
