Abstract

The goal of this study is to identify key factors in travel agent management and then differentiate their impact on the value creation of these companies. Researchers group methodologies for analyzing value creation in travel agencies into several main categories. The methods are interview and economic-financial analysis. Then we identify value creation indicators to determine economic value-added options, then we conduct empirical contrast. The research results reveal that travel agents, acting as intermediaries, have become highly relevant, absorbing nearly all industries of this sector's production. The historical analysis concludes that travel agents underwent a positive evolution in value creation during the studied period. The revolution in information technology, which increased staff productivity, and the process of sector concentration and association, which increased rotation, are the main factors driving this evolution. Investments in financial assets, tangible assets, and intangible assets also play an important role in transforming the sector's productive structure. While the evolution of margins plays a less significant role in value creation, the sector faces challenges due to price wars and strong competition. The positive impact of the sector's debt also increased, contributing to a significant increase in economic value-added. Finally, travel agents need to pay attention to these factors in their management in order to remain competitive and achieve their ultimate goal of creating value in this sector.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges and opportunities in the digital transformation of MSMEs, as well as effective technology management strategies. In the digital era, MSMEs face various challenges such as limited financial and human resources, inadequate digital infrastructure, and lack of knowledge and awareness about technology. Nevertheless, digital transformation also offers significant opportunities for MSMEs, including improved operational efficiency, access to broader markets, and the ability to analyze data for better decision-making. Through a qualitative approach with literature review, this research finds that effective technology management strategies are crucial for the successful digital transformation of MSMEs. These strategies include developing a technology strategic plan aligned with business goals, selecting and integrating appropriate systems, and training and developing employees' skills. The proper implementation of digital technology can help MSMEs automate business processes, reduce operational costs, and enhance productivity and innovation. The study concludes that digital transformation is not just about adopting technology but also about changing work processes and mindset to create sustainable added value for MSMEs. With adequate support and well-planned strategies, MSMEs can overcome challenges and leverage digital opportunities for business growth and sustainability.
