Un modello multicriteriale per la valutazione del saggio di capitalizzazione

2011

The process of direct capitalization, while persisting in the operational context, tends to be of secondary importance in the interests of scholars in the discipline of appraisals. However, it is recognized the need for such an approach in not perfectly competition markets and/or in presence of speculative-financial phenomena that are typical of capitalistic systems. This work has explored the theme of the multi-criteria choice of capitalization rate, in the light of the speculative-financial interpretative matrix that the New economy provides to explain the intensely dynamic economic systems. The study is based on the conception of market value as the result of objective and subjective fac…

The impact of consumer local engagement on local store patronage and customer satisfaction

2017

This paper examines the drivers of local grocery retail patronage. Drawing on institutional and social network theory literature, we develop a framework to investigate how consumers’ personal values and engagement with local communities affect their satisfaction and local store patronage. We test our model with survey data on 1504 Finnish consumers. Our results show that the relationship between customer local engagement and local retail patronage is indirect rather than direct, and it is mediated by the vitality of local services, social interaction, and consumer satisfaction.

This chapter examines how digitalisation has altered the way consumers experience the social interaction and service environment while shopping in retail stores. In this, we draw on the concept of servicescape, which comprises both tangible and intangible features which make up the service experience. Recognising the three realms of servicescape (physical, digital and social), we explore the role of social capital in determining the customer experience in digitalised retail servicescape. We demonstrate that social capital has two specific roles. Firstly, it is an integral part of the customer experience and thus contributes to the service experience. Secondly, social capital is created in t…

In the present text we approach the discourses of young women who came out as au pairs. The characteristics of this figure place it in a space halfway …
