“…Thus, they are crucial issues in tourism destination management. Taheri & Ansari (2013) state a role of museum is one of the most appropriate representations of a cultural institution. As a symbolic part of culture, museums are regarded as sources of wealth and a magnet for tourism, so, a museum dedicated to the legend of the Naga and publishing pocket books with pictures and descriptions of the legend of the Naga seem to fascinate international tourists.…”

This article aims to study international tourists' opinions and the international tourists' demand for the Naga Fireball representatives of involved public organizations and local philosophers to discuss about promoting the value of the Naga Fireball Festival in Nong Khai province, Thailand. The results show that most tourists would like to see the Naga Fireball Festival because it is based on the local culture regarding the Naga serpents. In reference to the demand of international tourists, positive attitudes of local residents towards tourists (S.D. = 0.51), experience in telling stories about the Naga Legend (S.D. = 0.56), awareness of the local life style and culture along the Mekong River (S.D. = 0.50), day trips to sacred sites dealing with the Legend of Naga (S.D. = 0.52), landscape arrangements (S.D. = 0.49), safety and security for tourists (S.D. = 0.50), and reliable sources of information about the

“…An approach based on the DEA method is not too common in the fi eld of museums, galleries and monuments. As part of the review of the literature, several studies regarding the application of DEA in evaluating the effi ciency of museums were found, for example Taheri and Ansari (2013) and Barrio et al (2009, 259). Barrio et al (2009) count it among the fi rst and most important applications of this method.…”

“…Th e fi rst application of DEA in the Czech Republic was done by Plaček et al (2016), who studied institutions established by the central government in 2014. When compiling indicators, they followed the methodology of Taheri and Ansari (2013) and Barrio et al (2009, 259). Th e study revealed quite a large space for an increase of eff ectiveness of institutions established by the state.…”

Th is study tests whether decentralized leadership infl uences the effi ciency of running selected cultural institutions, specifi cally museums in the Czech Republic. For the analysis, data from 2015 from 187 museums spread around the whole Czech Republic are used. Th e method for the evaluation of effi ciency is data envelope analysis, and for identifying the infl uence of decentralized leadership, a regression analysis is used. Museums established by municipalities reach higher effi ciency than museums established by regions and central government. Th e causes may be found in the ability to better estimate the local demand as well as in the rational behavior of municipalities that prefer a cost-minimization strategy. Th e benefi ts of decentralization cannot be seen only in the fi eld of fi nance but also in reinforcing local traditions, trust and the eff ects of social capital that is generated by a strong regional cultural identity.

“…However, in the nonprofit context, the goal of the organization is most likely non-financial. Previous studies have focused on the effectiveness [1,4], marketing strategies [5], earnings management [6], performance [7], and financial performance measures [8] of nonprofit organizations. In sum, issues of nonprofit performance measurement form an important topic in the literature.…”

Management strategies play an important role in enhancing the competitive advantage and sustainable development of national museums. The purpose of this study is to focus on evaluating the management strategies of national museums to reduce the gaps in visitor satisfaction that are caused by the interdependence and feedback problems of the so-called BOCR dimensions (namely, benefits, opportunity, costs, and risks) and 24 criteria. This study creates a hybrid competitive advantage multiple-criteria decision-making model for national museums by integrating the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory-based analytic network process and modified VIKOR (VlšeKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) techniques to solve the problems. We consider five different types of national museums to illustrate how the proposed new evaluation model enhances the competitive advantage of national museums. Our results provide national museum curators with the knowledge and understanding to create promotional and marketing strategies that reduce the gaps in dimensions and criteria to satisfy visitors’ needs and to enhance their competitive advantage.
