Abstract
The paper takes an in-depth look at the factors that have affected the Taiwanese banking industry and help to shape and mold it into the 'tiger' it is today. According to the paper, Taiwan has a dynamic capitalist economy that is gradually requiring decreased guidance on investment and foreign trade from the national government. The paper discusses how in time, government-owned banks and industrial companies became privatized, mainly as a result of the export industry.
From the Paper
"Taking control for Asian buyout investors did not only extend the lives of failing companies but also realized a high level of profits in the first half of 2005 (AltAssets 2005).In the first six months, divestments earned US$13.5 billion, 71% of which came out of "control" deals. There were, however, problems confronted by buyout investors. Buying out was a strange concept to Asian companies, which would not cede control of their business to foreign institutions. An exception is South Korea, where foreign-led buyouts proved successful early in the experimental stage and accounted for the turn-around of its economic crisis at the end of the last decade. It was, however, a different situation in Taiwan. The Taiwan banking sector was always an attraction to foreign buyout investors because of its combined assets at approximately US$750 billion, one of the largest in Asia. It was largely government-controlled, overcrowded and fragmented. The government claimed 50-60% ownership of the assets of these 48 banks. None of them had a market share of more than 10% and was, therefore, not a major player in the island or the region. Yet the government was willing to introduce foreign and local investors to hasten the consolidation of the industry. In May that year, Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission revised the rules, which would allow foreign financial companies to take full ownership of domestic banks. After selling 20% equity state of Changhwa Commercial Bank to the local Tashin Financial Holdings, the government privatized its holdings in Taiwan Business Bank, the 9th largest by assets. Taiwan Business Bank was far behind Hong Kong's Hang Seng Bank and Singapore's DBS Bank. Unlike the Changhwa Bank, which attracted foreign investors, such as Japan's Shinsei Bank and The Carlyle Group, Taiwan Business Bank attracted three local financial groups, such as E. Sun Financial Holding Company, Mega Financial Holding Company and Fubon Financial Holding in the government sale of its 43% holdings. It was a frustration to the Ministry of Finance and half of its almost 5,000 employees expressed deep apprehension towards the sale and went on strike in order to demand better benefits for themselves. The bank's business chairman resigned 10 days later, apparently because of his inability to introduced changes. The failure of takeover in the Taiwan Business Bank sent clear and powerful resistance from vested parties who saw that their interests were under threat. But the government would not give up despite this failure. It rallied by inviting bids for a majority state of China Shipbuilding Corporation, the island's largest shipbuilding company, and kept its hopes high that the move would prosper (AltAssets)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the explosive growth in the hospitality industry demands highly-qualified people trained in hospitality management to fill rapidly opening positions. The author points out that the research indicates that attributes are not the key to selecting a career in the hospitality industry. The paper concludes that the ?graduate image? was not always accepted as being valuable, and often students felt they had to prove themselves more because they had an education.

"Clearly with these companies and many others, certification is becoming a requirement for practice. Maintaining and enhancing the industry's professional certification programs have one central purpose according to Karen Giles, the Vice President responsible for certification programs, "To increase the value of certification so that in turn, certification raises the professionalism of the entire hospitality industry and everyone who works within it. Certification and the standards of competency it brings will help the hospitality industry become recognized as the profession it is. By defining a body of knowledge necessary for each hospitality position, certification gives everyone, from housekeepers to general managers, concrete goals to strive for and a way to benchmark their personal successes.""

"In 1988, tourism once again began a rise. This time, however, the crisis in the Middle East that eventually erupted into the Gulf War brought tourism to a screeching halt. When the Gulf War ended, tourism was once again expected to begin a growth phase. By that time, however, the United States had entered into another economic recession, and economic activity in most of the other industrial nations had begun to slow. At that time, recovery in the travel industry was not expected to occur until the mid-1990s."

Abstract
This paper explains that the hotel industry has been very dissatisfied with the current technology system being used due to its' ineffectiveness in the pursuit of satisfying future business needs in the hospitality industry because it (1) lacks effective inter-vendor cooperation and systems integration, (2) drawbacks in the current
technology financing process and (3) has poor adoption of modern technologies. The author points out that the complexity of the systems presently in use in many of the hotels do not and will not ever have the capacity to streamline the process, much less increase the ROI for the company. The paper relates that hospitality industry is seeking new information technology solutions to meet the growing demands of the high-tech business world, which interacts with the hospitality industry and counts upon services such as those provided by the Hilton and the Marriott hotels.

"Contractual licensing and use restrictions have led to many of the current existing restrictions of software in the hospitality industry as well as the unwillingness of the vendors in supporting the requirements of integration needed by their customers in the industry. More than the technical standards are needed as they create only the platform for open systems while business standards needed are for the ensuring of the contract right of the hotels in licensing and integration of systems. The vendors do have however, a right in protection of their intellectual property as well as the right to compete in software provision as well as provision of services for assistance with integration efforts. In order to avoid many of these limitations the HTNG White Paper suggests and even urges the adoption of the following forward-thinking business standards that respond to and answer the needs in the hotel industry."

Abstract
The increasingly competitive nature of the globalized marketplace combined with rapid changes in technology, customer requirements, and business practices, and shortened product life cycles have imposed pressures on all organizations, including SMEs, to innovate more effectively and efficiently. Despite these constraints, the fact remains that new products represent the lifeblood of innovative companies, particularly those competing in the personal computer industry. This paper investigates the evolution of idea-generating methods for new product development in Taiwanese personal computer manufacturers; compares and contrasts the differences of idea-generating methods among the personal computer manufacturers in Taiwan; and evaluates the effectiveness of idea-generating methods with their successful products. To this end, a critical review of the peer-reviewed and scholarly literature is accompanied by a custom survey of selected managers of Taiwanese personal computer manufacturers. An analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data in this regard is followed by a summary of the research, salient conclusions and timely recommendations for manufacturers and policymakers alike.

"Although time constraints may adversely affect the ability of all group members to share all of the input during a given meeting, the authors suggest that this approach serves a number of useful purposes by allowing everyone to participate at the same time and by creating a record of who said what in the process (Aiken et al., 1997). For many high-tech companies, then, these techniques may provide some superior benefits to their traditional brainstorming or other idea-generating methods; however, depending on the corporate culture involved, an even better approach for some companies may be the gallery writing technique which is discussed further below."

The Hospitality Industry, 2005.
This paper discusses the use of statistics in the Canadian and American hospitality industry.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the gathering, collating, reviewing and study of statistics, usually freely available from governmental agencies, are vital to any industry; Canada comes up woefully short of information applicable to the hospitality industry in comparison with the quality of the information available from United States agencies. The author points out that the information or data presented by the Canadian Tourism Commission, the Canadian Tourism Research Institute and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Division is highly suspect, is totally incomplete and generally pertains to tourism within Canada thus giving little recognition to international travel, tourism and hospitality industries. The paper demonstrates the use of U.S. government highway development information by the hospitality industry to expand hotels and other leisure attractions in Nashville and Memphis as an example of the use of statistics to create high-yield investments.

"In the Knoxville area, Interstate 75 - a north to south major artery - and Interstate 40 - a coast to coast east to west artery - intersect are right now in the midst of a half-billion dollar downtown re-development program to enhance their economy. As with most cities of its size in the south and elsewhere, the downtown section was in fast rate of decline because of urban sprawl. By the use of strategic data from TDOT, the city fathers decided that they could bring the downtown area back to life and add tremendously to the tax-base by means of the re-development plan. It was found that travelers from east to west that normally drive through can be attracted to spend the night in the "new downtown," by redeveloping the waterfront and making it an attractive tourist destination. The anchor businesses, of course, are reasonably priced, yet luxurious hotel/motel type accommodations."

The Definition of Hospitality, 2005.
This paper discusses the definition and whole concept of hospitality.

Abstract
This paper relates to the personal definition of hospitality for a client. The writer points out that as the client provided some information as to his/her concepts relative to hospitality, they have been included and expanded upon. The writer discusses that hospitality is a malleable concept when it comes to hotel management and that these concepts are integral to success in such endeavors.
From the Paper
"Hospitality has been formally defined as a "cordial reception: kindness in welcoming guests or strangers." The dictionary's portrayal of what constitutes hospitality, however, is inadequate to truly and fully depict what hospitality means to someone working within the hotel management industry. In fact, the dictionary's definition of hospitality only begins to touch upon the word's importance as it utilized in action to serve patrons. To the writer, the hospitality constitutes creating a scenario in which customer/guest needs are placed first and, in so achieving, it is integral to achieve an atmosphere that will serve to allow guests from a variety of backgrounds to feel equally at ease. Moreover, hospitality cannot be completely achieved unless each employee is committed to the mission, which requires leadership from the top down exhibiting commitment to quality service; maintenance of a good attitude and a good personal appearance."

Abstract
This paper compares the use of ancient and modern hospitality in the context of literary and modern practices of caring for a guest. The paper notes that, although the context of travel and hospitality were not as open and dignified as it is in a modern context, the use of familial or guest orientated hospitality in the ancient world is still ever-present today. Moreover, the paper concludes that the ideology of generosity to travelers is the continuous strain of thought that is every present in a humans "natural" ability to help those that need help while away from home
From the Paper
"In ancient biblical times, the family unit was a major component for hospitality within the Judaic tribes, which made a manifest unit that was bound to be respectful to one another. This early interpretation of hospitality was often thought to have been exclusive to the tribes alone, yet there is a great deal of information that suggests there was more connection to the outer world than once thought. The primary suggestion that early tribes were isolationist is an absolute in historical studies that has been challenged due to the nature social interaction that must have occurred for human connectivity to occur. However, the majority of opinions on these ancient tribes appear to provide an insular perspective on hospitality, since the laws of the tribe may have appeared exclusive to the tribe alone. But in certain case, one can derive a certain modernity about tribal customs that deviated from this linear view:"

Abstract
This paper investigates strategies that can be used by online retailing stores to encourage and increase online consumer purchasing behavior. The paper focuses on the Taiwanese market and considers relevant factors, such as trends, behavior patterns of customers, purchasing habits, product lines, and ideas that work in Western markets that are applicable to Taiwanese markets.
Strategy and Planning for Online Stores
Measuring Effectiveness of Websites of Online Stores
SWOT Analysis of Operating an Online Retail Store
Strengths of Online Retailing in Taiwan
Weaknesses of Online Retailing in Taiwan
Opportunity for Online Retailing in Taiwan
Threats Faced by Online Retailing in Taiwan
The Taiwanese Market and the Market's Readiness for Online Retailing
P.E.S.T. Analysis of Taiwan
Porter's Market Analysis of the Online Retail Market
From the Paper
"There is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the market share of the product lines of the company. Similarly, there is no doubt that the environment within which the organization operates has a great influence on the sales that the company can hope to make using online retail concepts. For example, a market that has a large number of Internet users will have larger volume of online purchasers. At the same time however, the Internet can also offer individuals located at destinations that are very geographically apart an option to purchase products that might have otherwise not been available to them. Therefore, a customer in Taiwan could purchase a product from a store based in the U.S., U.K. or Australia without ever having to leave their homes."

This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of language barriers in this industry, reviews current literature on the subject, and offers a proposed hypothesis for study and a methodology.
From the Paper
"In such a competitive environment as the hospitality industry, this subject matter is of great interest. Companies are vying for clients and this issue can be a contributing factor to a hotel?s success or could be part of the reason it may fail. Communication is a key factor in achieving customer satisfaction and should not impede the ability to serve guests."

Sexuality in the UK's Hospitality Industry, 2005.
A look at the pervasiveness of sexuality in the United Kingdom's hospitality industry and how it is used to attract customers.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the role of sexuality in the hospitality industry in the UK. The paper compares its role in the UK with its role in the United States and suggests that, while it is more blatant in the U.S., it is equally ubiquitous in the UK. The paper uses examples such as sexuality in advertising, the use of hotels for prostitution, strip clubs, and the attempts of the industry to target the younger crowd with activities comprising sexual content as a sign of how widespread sexuality in the hospitality industry really is.
From the Paper
"The hospitality industry in the UK is big business, and sexuality is an important part of this business. If we define the hospitality industry as "hotels and a myriad of leisure and catering operations of different kinds" (Mills), then the hospitality industry in the UK brings in around 50 billion pounds each year. This is around 10% of Britain's total consumer expenditure each year. In addition, the hospitality industry employs about 70% of the individuals within the wider tourism industry (Mills)."

Management in the Tourism and Hospitality Industries, 2002.
Analyzes the use of operations management in the hospitality and tourism industries.
1,686 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper defines the term "operations management" and explains how this type of management came about. It talks about how operations management, at one time applied only to products, now applies to services as well. This change has allowed the tourism and hospitality industries to rely on operations management, even though its original concept of derived from production environments. The paper goes on to discuss the way operations management is utilized in the tourism and hospitality industries and why it is so important to these industries. The case of Marriott International is used to illustrate the points made by the paper.
From the Paper
"During the 20th century, management was considered to be the domain of those at the top of the company making decisions and strategizing for the short and long term. With the emergence of the scientific management school of Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford, a new breed of managers became dominant in organizations. Over the years, the trend changed to give rise to a new school of management that would allow the top management to oversee the staffs while they are working as well as resolve problems and issues on the spot. The basic premise had been to allow decision makers to interact with staffs in their day to day activity and be able to fully realize the implication of their decisions."
