La co-creación de valor en hoteles desde la lógica dominante del servicio: Una aplicación a clientes con discapacidad
2015
Con esta tesis doctoral se ha desarrollado la aplicación de un marco teórico de co creación de valor entre los clientes con discapacidad y el personal de los establecimientos hoteleros desde la lógica dominante del servicio (LDS), el enfoque de marketing cuyo desarrollo conceptual se inició en 2004 (Vargo & Lusch, 2004) y, en la actualidad, se constata su creciente interés en la investigación de marketing (Bettencourt, Lusch & Vargo, 2014; Chandler & Lusch, 2015). A partir de los estudios e investigaciones sobre la LDS (,Vargo & Lusch, 2004,2008;Hunt, 2004; Lusch et al, 2007; Payne et al 2008; Grönroos, 2008,Ballantyne &Varey, 2008; García et al, 2010; Shaw et al 2011; Park & Vargo 2012,Fit…
Design tra storia e contemporaneo. Art Design Gallery Hotel a Palermo
2010
A Palermo, Suite d’Autore è una galleria, dove gli artisti propongono opere in esposizione e per la vendita; è un museo sulla storia del design, dov’è possibile apprezzare uno svolgimento progettuale che va dal Liberty al contemporaneo attraverso arredi di grande fascino storico ma ancora attualissimi; è una struttura ricettiva, certo, dov’è possibile pernottare e immergere l’occhio in uno scenario da sogno; è una autentica Wunderkammer, una camera delle meraviglie! Qui tutto è progettato ad hoc, secondo uno specifico tema di progetto, nella convinzione che rendere ogni camera diversa dall’altra possa rappresentare per l’ospite uno stimolo sempre nuovo, dove si combinano comfort, attrattiva…
An optimized system dynamics approach for a hotel chain management
2009
The proposed model consists of an integrated system dynamics-data envelopment analysis approach to value, in a dynamic framework, the effects over time of the policies implemented according to the relative efficiency analysis. Rooms’ price and competing facilities (the hedonics) are the decision variables to move in order to push the hotels towards a higher relative efficiency at the end of the observation periods. In fact, in competitive markets as tourism, hotels compete for money offering differentiated quality. Moreover, according to the microeconomic theory, a producer of differentiated goods is not a price taker but a price maker. Therefore, we assume that the decision maker of the ho…
Innovativeness as a determinant of entrepreneurial orientation: analysis of the hotel sector
2019
This paper analyses entrepreneurial orientation as a composite formed of innovation, proactiveness and risk-taking. The empirical data for this study were gathered from a survey sent to hotel managers. The fieldwork was carried out between January and June 2018. The process provided 102 valid questionnaires. Two methods were used: structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). This study makes six key contributions and findings. First, the use of these two methods provides robust and reliable results. Second, reliability and validity values for innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking are satisfactory. Third, the operationalisation of en…
The importance of green practices for hotel guests: does gender matter?
2021
Due to growing consumer awareness of environmental problems, more and more hotels have been developing green practices in response to the environmental concerns of their guests and improve their image. This study aimed to test a model for analyzing the incidence of green practices as drivers for generating positive hotel image and guest trust and satisfaction, evaluating the moderating role of guest gender in these relationships. Based on a personal survey of 302 guests at 3 and 4-star hotels in Bogotá, evidence was obtained for the positive relationship between sustainable practices and the variables considered, with certain differences depending on the gender of each guest. Thus, this stu…
Latest technology and communication consistency in hospitality: a comparison between two Mediterranean countries
2016
AbstractThe goal of this research is to examine customers′ perceptions of the latest technology solutions and marketing communications within the hotel context in two Mediterranean countries – Croatia and Italy. In particular, hotel guests of four- and five-star hotels located in these countries participated in the research. Firstly, guest perceptions of advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and communication consistency are analysed and compared in Croatian and Italian hotels. Secondly, the impact of ICT on communication consistency is tested in both studies. The findings show that the level of customer perceptions of communication consistency is relatively high in both c…
On thermoeconomics of energy systems at variable load conditions: integrated optimization of plant design and operation
2007
Abstract Thermoeconomics has been assuming a growing role among the disciplines oriented to the analysis of energy systems, its different methodologies allowing solution of problems in the fields of cost accounting, plant design optimisation and diagnostic of malfunctions. However, the thermoeconomic methodologies as such are particularly appropriate to analyse large industrial systems at steady or quasi-steady operation, but they can be hardly applied to small to medium scale units operating in unsteady conditions to cover a variable energy demand. In this paper, the fundamentals of thermoeconomics for systems operated at variable load are discussed, examining the cost formation process an…

Hotel chain performance: a gravity-DEA approach
2011
Performance in business management can be measured in terms of competitiveness and efficiency. Generally speaking, competitiveness is a comparative concept of the ability of a firm, sub-sector or country to sell and supply goods and/or services in a given market, as measured by its market share. Particularly in competitive markets, efficiency plays a key role in determining this ability but it is not, by itself, sufficient. Indeed, while competitiveness has more to do with “pursuing the correct strategy” towards the conservation and/or increase of the market share, operational efficiency is mainly a measure of how well the firm, sub-sector or country under study processes inputs to achieve …
