“…However, relatively less attention has been paid to female tourism managers especially for countries such as Maldives. This is due to most research focusing on regional entrepreneurship in Asia-Pacific rather than country-level entrepreneurship (Otsuka and Natsuda, 2015). Although the situation of Maldives is unique in some ways, it seems to reflect a pattern that exists elsewhere, which can help policymakers in devising policies promoting the inclusion of gender equality in workplaces.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the representation of women managers through a content analysis of related magazine articles within the hospitality industry in the Maldives. Evidence suggests an increase in the number of working women, yet there is relative neglect toward identifying issues involving women in the industry. Design/methodology/approach Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to content-analyze the narrative on the sampled articles from a Maldives-based hospitality magazine, Hotelier Maldives. Qualitative content analysis and quantitative methods report on the challenges faced by women managers and reasons for their success based on the narratives. Findings This study revealed that although women managers are underrepresented in management, there has been a broad increase in the participation of women within the industry. This study falsified the perception that gender is a limiting factor to hold senior positions in the hospitality industry and that increased participation of women managers may be driven by the changing social and cultural contexts. Originality/value This study is one of the first to examine how women managers are represented in hospitality magazines. Despite its relevance, previous tourism research has not focused on this kind of measurement.

“…According to Otsuka and Natsuda (2016), the low performance of the automotive industry is related to the national automotive policy. The policies which are intended to protect domestic producers from international competition and to favour the bumiputera (native of a country) firms seem to have adverse impacts on productivity.…”

The liberation of world trade has significantly reduced Malaysian government protectionism of its national automotive industry. Local manufacturers have to strive for excellence in order to be able to compete in a business world that is dominated by a few big players. They cannot compete without excellent organizational behavior and culture. One of the important aspects of organizational culture and behavior is market orientation. A company's ability to win orders depends on how much it and the other companies in the supply chain are able to understand, translate and act upon customer requirements. This study is devoted to analyzing the relationship between market orientation, supply chain management, and the supply chain performance of all the industry's supply chain players. It also examines the mediating effect of supply chain management. Data were collected from manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive industry in Malaysia through questionnaires. Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the above relationship. The results indicate that supply chain management mediates the relationship between market orientation and supply chain performance. However, they also show that the relationship between market orientation and supply chain performance is insignificant. This finding has a major implication for policymakers and manufacturers, as will be discussed in this paper.

“…El impacto del enfoque de VSM fue que se eliminó el tiempo de preparación de 1.960 segundos y se eliminaron viajes del proceso de recolección que no tienen valor añadido para el cliente porque son un desperdicio (Purba & Aisyah, 2018). Otsuka & Natsuda (2016) realizaron un análisis empírico que demuestra que el principal factor determinante en la productividad de la industria automotriz de Malasia es la tecnología incorporada en los materiales importados. Por otro lado, la I + D doméstica y el capital humano tuvieron un impacto insignificante en el crecimiento de la productividad, lo que indico que los esfuerzos del gobierno para construir la capacidad tecnológica no fueron efectiva.…”

La principal fuente de crecimiento económico moderno es el crecimiento de la productividad. Cuando la productividad aumenta, las economías logran una mayor producción con un determinado nivel de entradas, generando ganancias que aumentan los ingresos y mejoran los niveles de vida. La industria automotriz desempeña un papel fundamental en la economía de México, en 2017 de cada 100 pesos de productos manufactureros 20 pertenecían al sector automotriz. Por otro lado se realizaron exportaciones, gracias a las cuales México logró situarse en la cuarta posición de los países que más exportaron. En esta investigación se estudió acerca de los factores que influyen en la productividad del sector automotriz de México. El objetivo de esta investigación es encontrar cuáles son los factores determinantes para la variación de la productividad en el sector automotriz de México
