Set against the backdrop of Peru’s capital city, the Lima conference featured a timely and relevant program to keep attendees informed of the latest in emerging gaming issues and technologies. IMGL is pleased to be holding its Spring 2016 conference in San Francisco, California — a city that needs no introduction. Like Los Angeles and New York, this city already enjoys international renown for everything from its sightseeing to shopping to entertainment. This conference offers our delegates a variety of sessions on diverse topics of discussion, including: Daily Fantasy Sports, eSports Betting, Skill Based/Hybrid Gaming in relation to new regulations being offered, Cardrooms, Tribal Gaming, and more. Many of our attendees and speakers are traveling from international destinations to participate in this conference — and the speakers on our panels represent the best in the gaming industry —from gaming regulators to industry executives. Our conference headquarters, the luxurious Fairmont San Francisco hotel on historic Nob Hill, puts us just a short cable car trip from San Francisco’s bustling downtown, financial district, Union Square, and Fisherman’s Wharf. In fact, the Fairmont San Francisco is the only spot where all of the city’s cable car lines meet. With its numerous hills and spectacular bay, San Francisco entrances visitors with its natural beauty, vivacious neighborhoods, and infectious liveliness. This dynamic town thrives on variety, and makes it easy to tap into the good life, too: between San Francisco’s arts scene, boutiques, beautiful parks perfect for jogging or biking, and all those stellar restaurants and cocktail bars, it’s the ultimate destination spot. Popular San Francisco attractions include museums, theaters and destination neighborhoods like Chinatown, Union Square, and Fisherman’s Wharf. One way to see the city in all its glory is to book a double-decker bus tour of the city, cruise out to Alcatraz, or head over to see Sausalito and the giant redwoods of Muir Woods. Other favorite day trips include a drive to the superb and popular wineries in Napa and Sonoma. We look forward to seeing you personally while you are at the conference, and hope that you have an opportunity to learn from the conference sessions, network with old friends and new, and enjoy what the city of San Francisco has to offer. We also extend a big thank you to IMGL’s Spring Conference Program Committee and the many individuals who have helped make this conference a success.

  • Strategic Integration, Contract
    STRATEGIC INTEGRATION, CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION, AND COMPREHENSIVE CONTRACT CAMPAIGN EFFECTIVENESS: A CASE STUDY OF THE CULINARY WORKERS UNION, HERE LOCAL 226’S 2002 COMPREHENSIVE CONTRACT CAMPAIGN A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Paul Everett Hayes January 2006 © 2006 Paul Everett Hayes ABSTRACT This thesis is a case study of the comprehensive contract campaign that the Culinary Union, HERE Local 226 utilized in its 2002 round of negotiations with casino operators in Las Vegas. The focus of this study is on how the comprehensive contract campaign strategy used by the Culinary Union increased the local’s bargaining power in the negotiations. This case study links the success of the 2002 comprehensive contract campaign to the local’s prior practices, long-term strategies, as well as its organizational structure and culture. This case study also examines how the political, social, and economic context of Las Vegas’s casino industry influenced the Culinary Union’s comprehensive contract campaign. It describes the interactive relationship between these external contextual factors, the local’s strategic choices, and industrial relations outcomes in Las Vegas’s casino industry. This case study describes how the Culinary Union, by using the organizing model of contract administration, created an organizational culture and structure that lead to increases in the quality and quantity of rank-and-file participation in the union, and how this benefited the union in its 2002 comprehensive contract campaign. In addition to citing specific examples from the 2002 contract campaign itself, this case study uses the industrial relations literature relating to union commitment and participation, in order to support this argument.

A LOGISTIC REGRESSION ANALYSIS FOR PREDICTING BANKRUPTCY IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Hyunjoon Kim And Zheng Gu ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to develop logit models for predicting bankruptcy in the hospitality industry. Using the financial data of 16 U.S. hospitality firms that went bankrupt between 1999 and 2004 and 16 non-bankrupt matching firms, this study estimated logit models for predicting bankruptcy up to 2 years in advance. The logit models, resulting from forward stepwise selection procedures, could correctly predict 91% and 84% of bankruptcy cases 1 and 2 years earlier, respectively. The estimated models imply that a hospitality firm is more likely to go bankrupt if it has lower operating cash flows and higher total liabilities. The models suggest that a prudent sales growth strategy accompanied by tighter control of operating expenses and less debt financing can help enhance a firm’s ability to meet its financial obligations and thereby reduce bankruptcy risk.
