The Retail and Food Services sectors play an important role in Singapore. They add to the vibrancy of the economy and contribute to the social well-being of Singaporeans. At the same time, they are often highlighted and scrutinised for their low productivity performance and high reliance on manpower. There is to date a lack of local literature that addresses the issues faced by the two sectors at the enterprise and worker levels. This timely book includes major topics in services productivity in the Singapore context, with emphasis on Retail and Food Services. Topics covered include the key productivity levers of the services sectors: holistic productivity measurement framework, effective entrepreneurship, manpower management, promotion by social media, marketing, costing process and accounting sophistication. These areas are explored through literature reviews and in-depth interviews with companies and consumers. The chapters also include recommendations for policy makers and industry stakeholders. Written in a simple and accessible manner, this book will serve as an insightful guide to researchers, policy-makers, industry practitioners and enterprises and those who are keen to learn from the Singapore experience.

Wovon reden wir, wenn wir von „japanischer“, „chinesischer“ oder „koreanischer Küche“ reden? Der Schwerpunkt Der globalisierte Gaumen: Ostasiens Küchen auf Reisen wurde so konzipiert, dass er die vielfältigen Dimensionen und Effekte der Globalisierung beispielhaft an den „Reisen“ ostasiatischer Küchen zum Vorschein bringt. Die zwölf Beiträge beleuchten neben Kapital-, Personen- und Warenverkehr vor allem historische und kulturelle Faktoren. Originalität, Tradition und Authentizität sind thematische Knotenpunkte. Die Vielfalt der Problemstellungen spiegelt sich in der Bandbreite der methodischen Zugänge und Perspektiven. Abgerundet wird dieser Teil durch zwei Dokumentationen zur kulinaristischen Forschung. Mit der Kulinaristischen Ökologie wird ein neuer Denkansatz aus dem Bereich der Lebens- und Umweltwissenschaften für das Feld der Kulinaristik vorgestellt. Dieser soll die ökologischen Konsequenzen und weltweiten Eingriffsfolgen aufzeigen, die dem Groß-Ökosystem ‘Erde’ und seinen großlandschaftlichen Subsystemen durch Nahrungsbeschaffung für eine ungebremst wachsende Weltbevölkerung erwachsen. Die Beiträge zum Thema Das Gericht loten mit den Mitteln von Wortsemantik und Etymologie, von praxisorientierter Begriffsgeschichte wie mit dem Versuch einer optisch unterfütterten Möbel- und Designgeschichte seine Vieldeutigkeit aus, abgerundet durch ein close reading von italienischer Gegenwartsliteratur im Blick auf eine neue Essensmoral. Der Teil Varia besucht u.a. mit den Bahnhofsgaststätten einen für das kulturelle Gedächtnis Europas markanten transitorischen Ort. The special focus of vol. 2 of the series "Jahrbuch fuer Kulinaristik" is on: Der globalisierte Gaumen: Ostasiens Küchen auf Reisen/The Globalized Palate: Travelling East Asian Cuisines, pp. 16-380. The focus explores, through a variety of approaches, issues of identity, historical dimensions, socio-economic mechanisms, and political agendas of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisines in a globalized context. The altogether 14 original contributions by authors including Maren Möhring, Yoko Hiramatsu, Eric C. Rath, Eun-Jeung Lee, Thomas O. Hoellmann, James Farrer, Jennifer Robertson, Peter Kupfer, and others, with an introduction by Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit, are rounded off by two bibliographies: A select bi-lingual (German/English) bibliography of recent food and hospitality studies on East and Southeast Asia with Annotations and a comprehensive bi-lingual index, featuring studies in English, German, Japanese, Korean, and French, as well as a list of recent and ongoing graduation theses in German-speaking countries. The volume also features contributions on Ecology and Culinary Studies, the complex relationships between meals and law, and an essay on literary representations of station restaurants as liminal spaces.

Drawing on Baumol's concepts of productive, unproductive and destructive entrepreneurship and relevant amendments, this book develops a conceptual framework which allows operationalising the concepts for empirical assessment. Using data from a longitudinal survey, the author further makes one of the first attempts to address these concepts empirically. The results show the importance of shifting the focus from firms' activities to output on both, venture and societal levels, short and long term. Overall, the findings suggest that productive entrepreneurs are less involved in behaviour such as tax avoidance or illegal business and show a higher level of entrepreneurial orientation.

This book reports on the findings from a research study of vocational and higher education graduates’ employability challenges. The nature and extent of these challenges, their underlying causes, and effective strategies to address the problems in this area are all analysed from a multiple-stakeholder paradigm. The primary focus of the book is on governments; secondary, vocational, and higher education systems; and industry employers - rather than graduates themselves - in order to highlight the policy and strategy implications for governments, industry and educational systems. Readers will acquire comprehensive information on the nature and extent of graduate employability in terms of country-specific challenges, together with a deeper understanding of their complex causes, and the inter-relatedness between governments, educational systems, industry sectors, and potential employers. They will also be provided with a broad range of stakeholder strategies designed to effectively address these challenges within integrated national and regional approaches.

This book analyses the determining factors behind productivity and innovation amongst Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore, and within the context of South East Asia, in order to offer recommendations for increasing productivity and aiding economic growth. SME firms are an influential driver of economic growth in advanced world economies like the USA, Germany, Japan and South Korea. Throughout the 2000s, Singapore experienced a decline in economic growth which was linked to decreasing productivity in its SMEs. The decline triggered a transformational policy by a Government intent on forging a ‘high skill–high productivity’ future. Given substantial evidence that low productivity growth occurred in sectors where immigrants dominated the workforce, the seeds of recovery focused on improving productivity and innovation amongst SMEs in those sectors. Hence, this book investigates the factors determining productivity amongst SMEs across the manufacturing sector. It utilises personal interviews with global experts and CEOs, combined with primary data collected from a major international Delphi survey, and interviews with 215 SME owners and managers in Singapore. This data helps us to better understand how these productivity-enhancing factors can be used to increase performance amongst SMEs. By investigating the nature and process of total factor productivity in Singapore’s SMEs, this book tells the policy story behind the revolution. To provide a comparative analysis, Singapore’s story is placed within a South East Asian context. The unfolding narrative contains important lessons for policy makers and industry globally, as they assess the strategic choices available to them for improving productivity and innovation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of innovation and productivity, as well as economic development officers, government policy advisors, SME business managers and sustainable businesses.
