“…Květoň and Kadlec () found that the innovation process is significantly influenced by a well‐developed institutional framework more common in Western European countries; for example, prestigious universities, headquarters locations, and the R&D departments of multinational companies. On the other hand, the transforming economies in Central and Eastern Europe are characterized by an insufficient level of trust among actors in the innovation process (Květoň & Kadlec, ) and a lack of capability to transfer knowledge between these actors (Olszewski, ). It must be emphasized that the problem of ineffective mechanisms of knowledge transfer in the tourism sector seems to be more serious than in other industries (Olszewski & Bednarska, ).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the role of source of innovation, its degree of novelty, and their interaction in shaping tourism companies' stock returns in different geographical contexts. The research employed the buy‐and‐hold method. It included 378 innovation announcements released in the years 2011–2016 for 111 tourism companies operating in European Union countries. Findings suggest that abnormal returns for the companies listed in the innovation leading countries were significantly smaller than those for the moderate innovators group. The study proposes a novel, geographical perspective to the analysis of the effects of innovation on stock returns in tourism.

“…Research outputs are better accepted and assimilated by practitioners for use in policies and practices when they become available at just the right point in time, making it more relevant (Cherney & McGee, 2011;Landry et al, 2001;Olszewski, 2015). Data needs to reach PA practitioners in a time that is complimentary to their responsibilities (Eagles, 2002).…”

A great deal of visitor research is being produced, yet sub-optimal use thereof in practice raises concerns. This study is the first to measure actual levels of utilisation of visitor research in tourism and recreation management, using protected areas as context. It investigates seven potential drivers of use including the adaptation of research outputs; organisational context; dissemination efforts by researchers; engagement between practitioners and researchers; linkage mechanisms; skills, capacity and awareness of practitioners, and the timing of the research. A structural equation model was developed and tested using data collected from 252 producers of visitor research. The online survey results empirically confirm other scholars' beliefs of the underutilisation of research in protected area policies and practices. Engagement between the researcher and practitioner communities and the potential absorptive capacity of protected areas contribute significantly to increased research uptake levels. The importance of both the interaction and organisational interest explanations in knowledge utilisation is confirmed. Managerial implications are discussed along with recommendations for future research.
