CORPORATE TOURISM AS A FACTOR OF DEVELOPMENT OF A MANAGEMENT TEAM

Abstract

Because of the lack of science-based methods and recommendations, it is often that managerial decisions are made intuitively, especially in the sphere of leisure and company recreation of employees in general, and in particular when organizing some corporate tourism events. In this regard, a goal has been set to identify the impact of various types of corporate tourism on the development of a management team. The paper determines the influence of types of corporate tourism on the development of a management team. For that, the types of tourism were segmented in accordance with their matrix distribution according to the level of physical activity and the emotions evoked among participants of tourism events. Next, an analysis of the theory of team formation and development was carried out, and five stages of this process were substantiated. A hypothesis on the relationship of the five segments of tourism and the five stages of development of the team was put forward. An experiment involving 4 management teams was carried out. Results of the experiment allowed proving the following: 1) a correlation between the determined segments of the types of corporate tourism and the stages of the group development; 2) effectiveness of tourism events when they are selected in accordance with the stage of development of the management team; 3) dynamism of the development of the management team with the gradual inclusion of tourism activities from a higher segment. Using the obtained relationships will allow company managers to more effectively invest in personnel.
