[recenzja] Zarządzanie organizacjami convention bureaus

Krzysztof Celuch
Zarządzanie organizacjami convention bureaus: organizacja, marketing
Wydawnictwo Adam Marszałek
Toruń 2022

Warto zanotować: właśnie ukazała się książka na temat branży spotkań napisana w języku polskim. Jest to niezwykle rzadkie wydarzenie, więc cieszę się, że mogłem się do niego przyczynić jako recenzent. Monografia Zarządzanie organizacjami convention bureaus: organizacja, marketing autorstwa Krzysztofa Celucha jest kompleksowym kompendium zarządzania convention bureaus. Przez wszystkie strony książki przenika oczywista, jednak rzadko uświadamiana, a zatem odświeżająca teza – zarządzanie organizacjami convention bureaus jest na relacjach oparte, jest na nie ukierunkowane i jest nimi napędzane, zarówno w wymiarze międzyorganizacyjnym, jak i międzyludzkim.

Mimo że dwóm dekadom rozwoju polskiej branży spotkań towarzyszyły coraz liczniejsze publikacje o charakterze naukowym i branżowym, mające na celu zrozumienie złożoności tej działalności, dotąd nie powstała pozycja w sposób syntetyczny podejmująca problematykę zarządzania convention bureau, łącząca orientację zewnętrzną (rola i funkcje convention bureau na regionalnym i krajowym rynku spotkań i wydarzeń) oraz wewnętrzną (zarządzanie marketingiem i personelem biura convention bureau).

CB vs CVB – what is the difference between the tasks and roles of European and North American convention bureaux? [publication]

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the divergence between the tasks and roles of
convention bureaux (CB) in North America and Europe.

Design/methodology/approach – A survey among 55 CB’ managers was conducted. A total of 75% of
respondents represented institutions operating in European cities, 25% – in North American ones. This
research mainly focused on managers’ opinions about the importance of tasks and roles performed by
CB and the degree to which the institutions manage to fulfil them. Therefore, importance-performance
analysis was used in the study. Czytaj dalej →

Cooperation between Convention Bureaus in Light of Empirical Research [publication]

Natalia Latuszek, Monika Dembińska

Abstract: The stakeholders’ cooperation in region (micro level) is recognized the basic source of cities’ competitive advantage in the meetings market. Though the cooperation also occurs between destinations (at the mezzo level), the existing studies rarely present it from this perspective. Cities on the meetings market are represented by specialized organizations, namely convention bureaus (CBs), whose function is to build and develop relations. The article aims to identify the significance of this function in the CBs opera- tion, in face of progressive competitive processes. To achieve the research goal, an internet survey was conducted, addressed to the managers of the convention bureaus. The obtained data has been analyzed applying the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The results of the study indicate a low priority for cooperation with other convention bureaus.

Contemporary roles of convention bureaux [report]

Foreign literature is paying more and more attention to convention bureaux (CB), yet stress is mainly put on Northern American entities [e.g. Getz, Anderson, and Sheehan 1998; Morrison, Bruen, and Anderson 1998]. A number of publications present various roles that CBs can perform in cities and local meetings industry. These include for example the function of [Wang 2008]:

destination/community marketer/promoter,
destination image/brand developer,
industry coordinator,
advocate/supporter/facilitator of tourism projects,
economic driver,
builder of community pride,
partnership/alliance builder,
destination planner/manager,
destination product developer.

However, it has not been pointed out yet which of these roles should prevail over others, which means that it has not been stated what roles should be CBs’ priorities. In addition, it has not been determined whether tasks and roles will be the same for each CB or whether they will differ for example depending on the extent to which local meetings industry will be developed and how long a particular CB has been functioning in it.

With reference to the above, a study was carried out with the following research subject in mind: what is the relationship between the roles played by a CB and competitiveness of cities in the international meetings market? In this case, competitiveness was measured based on the number of international meetings according to an ICCA ranking (International Congress and Convention Association). The aim of the project, in turn, was to find what roles CBs play in local meetings industry divided into institutions operating in cities with a varying degree of competitiveness. The study conducted enabled identifying tasks and organizational solutions which should help raise city competitiveness in the meetings market. The project was carried out on a sample of 73 CBs operating in ICCA ranking cities between May and September 2016. Analysis focused on tasks performed by those CBs. Czytaj dalej →
