Exploring intellectual capital in a call centre through a 'system dynamics' resource based view
2008
This paper examines alternative Intellectual Capital (IC) investment policies in a dynamically com plex system in order to explain differences in firm performance. The analysis is supported through the use of a System Dynamics (SD) simulation model. This paper is based on the hypothesis that in order to explain superior performance, it is not sufficient to look at the endowment of strategic resources; it also requires an analysis of the dynamics of resource accumulation and depletion processes, which stem from management policies. To assess the impact of ICon company performance, a conceptual framework and an SD simulation model are developed. Finally, the results from alternative scenario…
Using a Dynamic Performance Management approach to reinforce the benefits of territorial strategic planning
2013
The purpose of this paper is to present how system dynamics (SD) can be used to enrich performance management in local government and to foster a common shared view of the relevant system’s structure and behavior among stakeholders for territorial strategic planning. We begin by framing how dynamic complexity through SD modeling can support consensus building among different stakeholders within a territory, which moves beyond the traditional view of strategic planning within the context of a single jurisdiction. A Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) approach, as shown by our case-study, may help such players to overcome possible barriers to collaboration because of its support to better de…
Measuring and Managing the Performance of Territories as a hybrid field of study and practice: a System Dynamics Approach
2014
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how system dynamics (SD) modeling can be used to enrich performance management in local government and to foster a common shared view of the relevant system’s structure and behavior among stakeholders for territorial strategic planning. This is a quite hybrid field of analysis in performance measurement/management. In fact, in this context, performance is not primarily related to the single institutions in a regional area; it is rather associated to the territory where they operate. We begin by showing how framing dynamic complexity through SD modeling can support consensus building among different stakeholders in a territory. This shifts the atten…
Enhancing Collaborative Governance to Build Active Citizenship through Social Inclusion in Historical Neighborhood Regeneration: A Dynamic Performanc…
2021
Active citizenship and collaborative governance can be supported to enhance urban regeneration and social inclusion through Dynamic Performance Governance (DPG). The problem of urban decay and urban decline is identified as the main problem that continues to affect cities and urban areas. The study focuses on the urban regeneration experience of the historic urban neighborhood of Ballaro which is located in the historic city of Palermo. Urban regeneration is essential for transforming urban neighborhoods which are at risk of decline and blight. However, the lack of a social aspect such as social inclusion through active citizenship was identified to affect the sustainability of urban regene…
"Public Governance of Cultural Heritage". Using the institution of Trust to recover the degraded cultural assets owned by a Municipality
In Italy, the cultural heritage care has always been charged primarily to the State or,more generally, to the Public Sector, especially in the light of its natural aptitude to pursue general interests. However, nowadays the primacy of the public actors (first and foremost the Municipalities, viewed more and more as main actors in charge for the care of cultural heritage), risks being questioned by increasingly stringent budgetary constraints. The latter have been compromising the capability to guarantee a fair and widespread protection and to make the cultural heritage available to the community, as witnessed by the progressive accumulation of degraded or abandoned cultural heritage over ti…
Nurturing Entrepreneurial Culture and Attitudes in Universities: Experiences at the University of Palermo
2016
The aim of this paper is to contribute in the debate about academic entrepreneurship and the role of universities focusing on the analysis of the long term process of establishing and running an university incubator, and on the relationship between perseverance and results in promoting the exploitation of academic research and contributing to cultural change in an area where entrepreneurial spirit is not part of tradition. The paper focuses on analysing the experience gained at the University of Palermo in promoting and supporting, for the last ten years, the creation of innovative business initiatives and academic start-ups through the incubator run by the Consorzio ARCA. The paper present…
EFFECTS OF THE PENETRATION OF WIND POWER IN THE BRAZILIAN ELECTRICITY MARKET
2016
Climate variability has been the main driver for renewables in the Brazilian electricity market. This article analyzes the vulnerabilities of the dependence on hydropower in renewable energy production due to climate variation, as well as wind power penetration in Brazil, given a set of wind industry policies. Despite Brazilian renewable energy increase, the study shows the impact in energy supply in north region, due to the lack of transmission infrastructure. In Brazil, the potential trade-offs between renewables growth, and transmission infrastructure inconsistencies in terms of policy implementation are not yet well analyzed. Simulation results show the potential conflicts between energ…
L’UEFA financial fair play quale potenziale rimedio alla crisi economica delle società calcistiche in Italia
2012
Recently, UEFA launched the initiative of financial fair play to the football clubs, with the aim to encourage the competition also at economic level, promoting appropriate strategies for rational economic management. In Italy some managerial limits make football clubs less competitive than the foreigner ones. The implementation by the Italian clubs of measures to respect the rules of financial fair play shows some risks, both for the amount of losses to be restored, and for the limits that may emerge. The identification of some causes of the gaps between current performances of the Italian clubs and the basic parameters of the UEFA financial fair play can provide useful information both fo…
