En el entorno competitivo actual, el factor que puede establecer diferencias entre las empresas (ventaja competitiva) es el personal o recurso humano. Los conocimientos, habilidades y capacidades de los empleados, su experiencia y motivación, ejercen una importante influencia sobre la productividad de la empresa, su imagen y reputación y, en definitiva, sobre su supervivencia. Es por ello por lo que la gestión de recursos humanos se convierte en una herramienta clave en el mantenimiento y mejora de la competitividad de las empresas. A través de sus distintas funciones: planificación, reclutamiento y selección, formación y desarrollo, evaluación del rendimiento o retribución, la adecuada gestión del personal dota a la empresa de un instrumento eficaz para conseguir un capital humano valioso. Por otro lado, el sector turístico se enfrenta a tres grandes retos que, a su vez, se configuran como elementos básicos sobre los que sustentar su crecimiento: la sostenibilidad o capacidad de crecer sin malgastar los recursos que favorecen dicho crecimiento, la seguridad o capacidad para garantizar destinos e infraestructuras turísticas en las que el cliente no perciba ninguna sensación de riesgo, y la calidad en su sentido más amplio. En este último aspecto, los recursos humanos tendrán un rol claramente protagonista. De su calidad, de su capacidad para atender con profesionalidad a los clientes, se derivará gran parte de la satisfacción de los clientes. El objetivo de este curso es ofrecer al alumno una visión introductoria y esquemática de la gestión de recursos humanos con el fin de que comprenda las cuestiones esenciales y sepa cómo aplicar con éxito programas y estrategias de recursos humanos en el ámbito del sector turístico.

Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.

This title describes the state of the art in all areas of spatial marketing, discussing the various constituents which make up the geography of markets. Demand varies according to location and can be measured according to revenue, the number of households, spending patterns and lifestyles. Supply is also dependent on position, because prices, services, products and available shops rely on location, while the difference between supply and demand is the rationale for the role of the trader. The book also covers the way geographic techniques help to solve marketing problems and contains chapters written by contributors with extensive experience in this field; given that it is crucial for companies to direct their marketing correctly at their target audience, this will be indispensable reading for those involved in this area.
