INTO THE HOTEL REVENUE MANAGEMENT. “History & Forecast”
2010
During uncertain times a deeper attention on strategies is highly recommended in order to minimize the loss and maintain, or gain in certain cases, market share (Vergara C., 2004). In this direction, hotels are asked to invest more in Revenue Management intelligence, not only toward the actual practices based on Room Revenue, but also taking into consideration the other incoming departments and in particular Food & Beverage. This article aims to clearing up the current state of the Revenue Management theory and practice, starting from its origin, crossing the five pillars, or the current policies and ending with a brief hint on the future of the entire hotel industry, which here we may call…
Analyzing Business Dynamics of Ride-Hailing Services: A DPM Approach Applied to Uber Inc.
2018
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore business dynamics of a rising ride-hailing service industry through case study and foster understanding of hypothetical feedback effects within the broader system. Design/methodology/approach – The research adopts the dynamic performance management framework with simulation-based methodology for developing a dynamic case interpretation of specific type of business complexity. Findings – Scenario analysis shows that changes in the commission percentage for drivers, and cutting prices for customers (car hailers) by competitors have significant impacts on the car hailing industry. Research limitations – The findings of our analysis are limited …
Understanding short- and long-term implications of “myopic” fleet maintenance policies: a system dynamics application to a city bus company
2010
Financial losses recorded in city bus companies often force managers to implement restructuring strategies aimed at improving business results. However, such decisions may not produce the expected consequences for a number of reasons. Both the internal and external environment in which such companies operate can make the design and implementation of long-term sustainable policies quite difficult. In fact, the result may be that decision makers introduce "effective" policies in a company subsystem, while ignoring the medium- and long-term implications of such decisions in the performance of the whole company. With the aim to detect the main causes underlying "myopic" fleet maintenance polici…
The analysis of the sicilian wine sector, the bottling firms, the volumes of manufactured products, the turnovers, the locations
2008
The sicilian wine secotr, seen from different angles, is characterized by sceneries that situate it at the centre of the regional economy. The assessment of the increase of the manufactured product, at a disadvantage of bulk wine production, has the goal of stimulating the Sicilian wine companies in following the example of other Italian companies. Moreover, this vaste social and economic Sicilian reality highlights the need for policy-making decisions for all the stakeholders involved.
How the Love of Truth Affects the Role of the Researcher : References to the “Third Mission” of Universities and References to the Field of Business …
2023
This chapter discusses and highlights the role and, therefore, the responsibility of the researcher, of the scholar, in the context of a university institution, which is not usually limited to knowledge, but also to its transfer into the sphere—in primis—of the universitas studiorum, as well as scolarium (in addition to magistrorum), starting with the concept of “truth” and, subsequently, that of “love”1. Certain prescriptive considerations, which could involve the aforementioned role and, therefore, the ethics of the modus operandi of the researcher in question, with inevitable references to the purposes of their work and their goal of progress for mankind and society, will tendentially be…
The promotion of a tourist destination through the definition of the "concept" in a sensorial perspective
2016
According to Anholt, the brand of a tourist destination expresses and sustains its identity; it should depict the main characteristics of the territory and its contents and for this reason it should represent the synthesis, the result rather than the starting point of its promotion. At the operational level there is a widespread tendency of the policy makers to develop the brand strategy of a destination by launching advertising campaigns that enlighten the territorial attractors, aiming to stress the tourist appeal of some geographical areas. In this case the main strategic efforts are usually oriented to develop and support a “comparative" advantage rather than a “competitive” one. An inn…
The production management of hazelnuts in province of Cuneo, under a system dynamics approach. How the dormice affect its performance.
2019
The production of hazelnuts represents an important resource in several Italian rural areas. Sicily and Piedmont, ones of the most important producers of hazelnuts, are affected by the presence of a rodent (Glis Glis), that has reduced considerably the production of hazelnuts. This project aims to show the complexity of the issue by using a System Dynamics (SD) approach to help the decision-makers to implement an optimal policy to improve the performance of production management of hazelnuts, taking as example the case of Province of Cuneo. By using the case of Province of Cuneo where Policy-makers have applied some policies to reduce the impact of the presence of the rodent, a SD microworl…
Generalising Theories Explaining the Different Modes of SME Development and the Associated Growth Trajectories
2010
Previous research has identified two forms of “abnormal” growth – styled as business dwarfism and gigantism - which can both lead to missed opportunities for owners/entrepreneurs and local economies, and even to business crisis and collapse. It has also shown that stunted and inflated growth phenomena, rather than being characterised by completely different rules and rationales, are closely related and that certain fundamental structures and processes underpin both those forms of ab-normal company growth behaviour. This paper reports an examination of a further SME phenomenon – what we have chosen to call "micro-giants". These are companies that would be categorised as rela-tively small fir…
A Physiological Approach to Analysing SME Growth Patterns and to Understanding the Distinctions and Similarities between Normal and Abnormal Growth
2010
Building on earlier work on abnormal SME growth trajectories, this paper investigates to what extent the analysis can be extended to the study of an unusual but “normal” growth pattern. The detailed case histories of two firms which might be called micro-giants are presented. These are companies that would be categorised as small firms but are actually competing, and competing successfully, in non-niche markets with much larger firms, or even multinational giants. The resource based view and modelling approaches developed in the earlier non-normal growth situations is then applied to these cases. It is argued that by viewing the management of strategic assets as part of the normal business …
La Magna Curia dei Maestri Razionali del Regno di Sicilia
2011
Il saggio è una storia dell'organo di controllo e giurisdizione contabile dalla sua istituzione nel 1240, con riferimenti agli uffici finanziari dello Stato di Sicilia sin dallo sbarco normanno, fino alla sua definitiva soppressione nel 1869, attraverso i diversi cambiamenti di nomi e di funzioni. Esso presenta anche una mappatura delle risorse archivistiche disponibili, con la presentazione di alcuni campioni, soprattutto riguardanti in particolare i "riveli" (dichiarazioni) di epoca moderna (XVII secolo)
