“…We can agree that a new tourist is pretending to be experienced and flexible. This is the reason why tourism companies have to respond efficiently to the new lifestyles and thus support the innovation (Crnogaj, Rebernik, Hojnik, & Gomezelj, 2014). Aiming to remain competitive, tourism firms and also tourism destinations are forced to develop and offer new or renewed services, thus they are obliged to innovate (Scheidegger, 2006;).…”

The innovative capability of an organisation depends on the intellectual capital that it possesses. Our research attempts to examine the influence individual intellectual capital components have on the innovativeness and consequent growth of a company. This article proposes a classification and measurement method of intellectual capital, highlighting the following three components; human capital, organisational capital, and social capital. Our aim is to explain innovation performance and company growth by showing the importance of each intellectual capital dimension on a specific type of innovation (product, process, marketing, and organisational). To this end, a questionnaire survey was performed on 2800 Slovenian and 1700 Croatian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism area. A data sample of 359 companies was analysed using SPSS 19 and the EQS 6 statistical programme to employ multivariate data analyses techniques through developed hypotheses.

“…Mostly, they offer both information to decision-makers to formulate strategies and communicate the achievements to the stakeholders [39] and afford trends on improvement, as well as warning information on declining trends for the various dimensions of sustainability, i.e., economic, environmental and social aspects [34]. Sustainability indicators differ from traditional development indicators because of the interrelationships between natural and cultural resources and stakeholders [9,40,41]. On the basis of the available researches it is possible to point at various types of indicators, both for entrepreneurship [12] and for sustainable development [42,43].…”

“…This property informs of the possible constrains, especially including limitations of the method focusing on definitions and measures [48,49], a number of judged metrics [11], or ignorance both of systemic ecological services [90] and timing of processes and their release or consumption flows [15]. Furthermore, some methods are not useful for a given situation, i.e., budget allocation [82], whereas other approaches need further development [40]. Another inconvenience may concern the difficulties related to a not fully completed review excluding the analysis of some elements [14], a restricted area of application [33,67] and a low level of complexity [43].…”

Sustainability assessment has received more and more attention from researchers and it offers a large number of opportunities to measure and evaluate the level of its accomplishment. However, proper selection of a particular sustainability assessment approach, reflecting problem properties and the evaluator's preferences, is a complex and important issue. Due to an existing number of different approaches dedicated to assessing, supporting, or measuring the level of sustainability and their structure oriented on the particular domain usage, problems with accurate matching frequently occur. On the other hand, the efficiency of sustainability assessment depends on the available knowledge of the ongoing capabilities. Additionally, actual research trends confirm that knowledge engineering gives a method to handle domain knowledge practically and effectively. Unfortunately, literature studies confirm that there is a lack of knowledge systematization in the sustainability assessment domain, however. The practical application of knowledge-based mechanisms may cover this gap. In this paper, we provide formal, practical and technological guidance to a knowledge management-based approach to sustainability assessment. We propose ontology as a form of knowledge conceptualization and using knowledge engineering, we make gathered knowledge publicly available and reusable, especially in terms of interoperability of collected knowledge.

“…Con base en lo que antecede, es posible decir que las pymes orientadas al servicio de hospedaje, desde la perspectiva de sistemas abiertos, son susceptibles a perturbaciones del entorno, las cuales las conducen a un estado de entropía (Crnogaj et al, 2014). Por ejemplo, la degradación ambiental, conflictos económicos, políticos o sociales, pueden afectar sus operaciones y estado homeostático.…”

Introducción: Las PyMEs de hospedaje operan en un entorno complejo cuyas restricciones minan su capacidad de adaptación ante perturbaciones. En dicho contexto, la gestión del capital humano se ve afectada vulnerando las operaciones y permanencia de estas organizaciones. Se considera que el capital humano es nodal para el equilibrio del sistema total, sin embargo, son pocos los modelos sistémicos específicos para PyMEs.Método: Se empleó el Método Sistémico para generar un diagnóstico sobre la situación percibida como problema, comprender la estructura del sistema y detectar las interrelaciones conflictivas, proponer un modelo conceptual para esbozar una solución. Dicho modelo se contrastó con la realidad para proponer nuevas interrelaciones que mejoren la dinámica organizacional encaminada al equilibrio viable de estas con su entorno.Resultados: Los sistemas relevantes que conforman el modelo conceptual fueron procesados mediante el Proceso de Jerarquización Analítica (AHP) y para cada uno se obtuvo 90% de consistencia. Esto significa que el modelo propuesto representa la realidad en la que opera el sistema objeto de estudio.Conclusión: El Método Sistémico permitió identificar actores relevantes, ubicarlos en un nivel de recursión y reconocer las relaciones conflictivas. El modelo conceptual no persigue el rediseño del organigrama de la organización, sino replantear las relaciones actuales para reducir obstáculos y apoyar a la adaptación continua de las organizaciones en cuestión. Lo anterior, contrasta con otros enfoques que se aplican para la gestión del capital humano dentro de empresas del sector turístico pues poseen una esencia lineal.
