Despite the abundance of research dealing with the impact of supply chain management on today's organisations, such research tended to emphasise discreet relationships. A cross-sectional sample of Portuguese organisations is used to test several hypotheses pertaining to organisational resources, competencies, different levels of supply chain integration and organisational performance. Based on the findings, the impact of information technology infrastructure flexibility exhibited mixed results on the constructs studied. Executive information technology competencies tended to positively influence the different types of supply chain integration. Internal integration was found to have a direct influence on organisational performance. Such internal integration is being encouraged by external entities including customers and suppliers. In this context, more integration might lead to more effective organisational performance. Therefore, it is concluded that organisations should integrate their resources, processes and in the process encourage effective utilisation of information.

Στην Ελλάδα σήμερα παρέχονται σπουδές στον τουρισμό τόσο σε δευτεροβάθμιο/μεταδευτεροβάθμιο επίπεδο όσο και σε επίπεδο τριτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης. Στην παρούσα εργασία θα εξεταστεί η ποιότητα της ελληνικής τριτοβάθμιας τουριστικής εκπαίδευσης όσον αφορά την απόκτηση εκπαιδευτικής και διαπολιτισμικής επάρκειας και ετοιμότητας από τους απόφοιτους των Τμημάτων Τουριστικών Επιχειρήσεων των ελληνικών ΤΕΙ σε προπτυχιακό επίπεδο. Ειδικότερα, για τις ανάγκες της παρούσας εργασίας θα παρουσιαστούν τα προγράμματα σπουδών ενός ελληνικού ΤΕΙ και ενός αντίστοιχου εκπαιδευτικού ιδρύματος της Ελβετίας και θα γίνει συγκριτική ανάλυση των δύο προγραμμάτων σπουδών ως προς την παρεχόμενη εκπαιδευτική και διαπολιτισμική επάρκεια και ετοιμότητα. / In Greece today tourism studies are offered at secondary / post-secondary level and tertiary level. In this work we examine the quality of the tourism studies offered by the greek higher education system at the Departments of Tourism Enterprises in the Technological Educational Instituts (TEI) at bachelor level as far as obtaining educational and intercultural competence and preparedness is concerned. Specifically, for the purposes of this work, the study courses of one greek TEI and one corresponding educational establishment in Switzerland will be presented and a comparative analysis of the two courses will be held concerning the educational and intercultural competence and readiness they provide.

This study attempted to determine if the theories of reasoned action (TRA) and planned behavior (TPB), as well as a relatively new construct called offender empathy, could help to predict the intentions of small business executives (SBEs) to comply with the employment provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
