This research paper explores the role of knowledge capital management in enhancing the competitiveness of tourism enterprises from a macroeconomic perspective. The study argues that the development of sound national tourism policies, integrated government market and business strategies, and public organizational and institutional structures are essential for realizing the full potential of the tourism sector and gaining a competitive advantage at the national and global levels. Moreover, the paper highlights the importance of information and knowledge capital resources as key factors in maintaining competitive advantage in the global market economy of knowledge. Using Porter's Diamond Model, the paper evaluates the management context of knowledge capital and the competitiveness of tourism companies. The study contributes to the body of knowledge on tourism, macroeconomics, enterprise competitiveness, and knowledge management research. The paper concludes by suggesting further areas of research in this field, including the development of data-driven investment policies for tourism enterprises, sophisticated methods for assessing tourism enterprise performance in different contexts, and a deeper exploration of the causal relationships between knowledge management and enterprise competitiveness. Overall, this research highlights the significance of knowledge capital management for enhancing the competitiveness of tourism enterprises and contributing to national prosperity.

“…The second subgroup in Group 2 is sizeable schools that want to give more flexibility to their students in choosing their courses. Bahouth et al (2014) noted that universities might omit one or two core classes to give flexibility and opportunity for their students to take slightly different set of courses. Some of the schools, which prefer more flexibility in their business core, require their students to take one quantitative subject from a list that also includes OM.…”

This study reviews the core requirements in 447 business departments accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in order to understand the current status and changes of Operations Management and Supply Chain Management offerings in the business core. The field of SCM continues to grow in the 21st century in terms of both industry demand and academic offerings. After the 2000s, many institutes of higher education realized the importance of SCM and the demand for trained individuals in the area. SCM became a common elective course for many business schools. This study is interested in exploring the next stage of implementing SCM into business education curriculum. This study seeks to determine if SCM is becoming a core business class for the majority of the business schools, or, more dramatically, if SCM is on the path of replacing OM. We report our survey results in order to understand the motivation for the changes related to SCM in the business core curriculum, the student and faculty reaction to these changes, and its effect on student enrollment, internships and employment.

The purpose of this paper is to explore a fit between Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) related course content and the industry needs in the Nepalese context. Since this study is undertaken using the Nepalese sample, the knowledge and skills prioritized by employers, it can be of value to educators while designing their LSCM course content. Desk-based research involving content analyses was done to understand the supply side information i.e. relative coverage of LSCM topics in business-related courses and degrees offered at selected five Nepalese Universities and for the demand side information i.e. analysis of job description of the LSCM related vacancies in the Nepalese job market over eighteen weeks. The study reveals that the inclusion of LSCM courses in the business programs at Nepalese Universities is currently negligible as none of them offered a separate program dedicated to LSCM. Besides, the LSCM courses were limited to just one course per program weighing not more than three credit hours. Instead, there seems to be an unprecedented number of business schools and colleges leaning towards more sellable traditional business degrees related to finance, marketing, human resource management, IT, and hospitality. Finally, when comparing the relative coverage of LSCM topics in the curriculum to the relative demand for such knowledge by the employers, there seems to be an over-emphasis or under-emphasis of courses related to LSCM both at the bachelors and masters level indicating a mismatch between the expectations of employers and education offered by the universities.
