Studio di fattibilità per la definizione di azioni ed interventi per il sistema turistico e per lo sviluppo delle filiere produttive dell'ambito terr…

2007

Lo studio individua le attività manifatturiere e del commercio distinte in principali e secondarie. Si passa poi all’individuazione e localizzazione dei prodotti tipici e locali collegabili al sistema ospitale. Nella parte II viene effettuata un’analisi della domanda turistica. Nella parte III, infine, si passa all’analisi strategica del territorio sviluppando una Swot Analysis strettamente centrata su un turismo escursionistico con prevalente connotazione eno-gastronomica. Da tutto ciò, scaturiscono le possibili azioni strategiche per lo sviluppo del sistema turistico e delle filiere produttive collegabili alla domanda turistica. L’analisi volta ad accertare le principali caratteristiche r…

Sviluppo regionale e marginalità. Aspetti finanziari di realtà economiche in divenire

2012

L'economia dei flussi di cassa è il Leitmotiv di questi anni, e il denaro condiziona i comportamenti individuali e collettivi. Economie tradizionalmente solide entrano in crisi se non riscuotono la fiducia dei mercati, e le famiglie, come le imprese, difficilmente riescono a programmare il proprio futuro senza le risorse finanziarie occorrenti per le proprie attività. Nel complesso periodo che stiamo vivendo, è opinione diffusa che l'uscita dalla crisi economica derivi da cambiamenti epocali nell'organizzazione dei sistemi produttivi e finanziari nonché negli stili di vita, rivisitando il significato stesso di sviluppo economico. In tale contesto la marginalità finanziaria, intesa come vant…

Sull'eterogeneità del Mezzogiorno

2022

Il capitolo rappresenta l'ambizioso tentativo di costruire un modello di sviluppo locale in grado di spiegare il "mistero della crescita" e fornire elementi di guida e di riflessione per le diverse componenti coinvolte a realizzare il cambiamento. Un aspetto viene messo in particolare luce: l'analisi quali-quantitativa sulle determinanti della profonda eterogeneità dei Sud, anche di quelli che sono geograficamente, storicamente, tradizionalmente contigui e da lungo tempo radicati in una condizione di relativa e trasversale arretratezza o apparente immobilismo. Questa eterogeneità emerge chiaramente man mano che l'attenzione si sposta ai diversi ambiti di sviluppo locale.

From “Strategic Fit” to Synergy Evaluation in M&A Deals

2012

The aim of this paper is to grasp the processes underlying the genesis and assessment of synergies in M&A deals. We proceed to an in-depth scrutiny of the foundations of synergies using Porter’s model of the value chain. A discernment of the nature of synergies and the mode of their emergence is helpful to clarify to what extent and under which boundary conditions it is appropriate to apply the DCF or the real option techniques for evaluating each type of synergy. Combining both financial tools, the methodology suggested for evaluating the synergies is able to: evaluate projects of M&As, orient the selection of target firms and the definition of the premium of acquisition, and drive…

A Dynamic Analysis of Tourism Determinants in Sicily

2015

This study provides an initial analysis of the key determinants of tourism in Sicily. In doing so, it responds to the general lack of a scientific approach in the study and management of tourism in Sicily. By mixing a gravity approach and system dynamics methodology, the attractiveness of Sicily is examined, taking into account both structural and promotional aspects that might affect tourism demand. The results strongly suggest that the island's natural and cultural resources, the road infrastructure and the urban environment are important determinants of tourism demand in Sicily. The findings may be useful for local authorities involved in the development of tourism, and represent a star…

Evaluation of asset replacement strategies considering economic cycles: lessons from the machinery rental business

2015

Contains fulltext : 144492.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) In businesses with heavy capital investments, the effective management of assets is crucial, in particular in the fleet rental business where assets are the major source of revenues. One important question in this regard concerns the replacement of used assets and the purchase of new assets. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate performance effects of asset replacement strategies. In order to maximise net cash flow of a rental company for construction machinery, a range of scenarios investigating the timing and nature of policies for replacing the fleet are analysed. Simulation findings are then discussed to gene…

Modelling and assessing public health policies to counteract Italian measles outbreaks

2021

This study aims to understand, through explanatory research, the key factors that led to the 2017 measles outbreak in Italy, the causes of the low level of immunisation and the causes of possible cyclical phenomena of measles epidemics. This topic's comprehension has required a holistic approach, merging epidemiological aspects, socioeconomic aspects (including the evolution of mistrust in vaccinations, infodemy and fake news) and health law constraints. A specific SIR System Dynamics (SD) model was built to reproduce the relevant cause-and-effect relationships between social interactions, the public institutions behaviour and the measles outbreaks. SD results permit the assessment of the h…

Performance Management in Local Government: The Application of System Dynamics to Promote Data Use

2014

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how system dynamics can be used to enrich performance management in local government, focusing specifically on how the development of conceptual and simulation system dynamic models can foster a shared view of the relevant system among stakeholders to overcome factors that limit data use. Responding to this purpose, we present a normative case study on how key drivers can be used to foster a shared view of the residential refuse collection system for supporting policy and process changes. A major finding from our research, however, is that performance management cannot overlook the broader forces of citizenship outcomes that impact the community.

Business model scaling and growth hacking in digital entrepreneurship

2023

Creating an innovative product and validating an innovative business model may not be enough for digital startups to be competitive. To grow fast and expand globally, digital startups need to innovate their business model during the scaling phase. A pragmatic approach has recently been proposed to support digital entrepreneurs engaging in business-model innovation during the scaling phase (i.e., business-model scaling), a strategy known as growth hacking. However, we know little about its theoretical grounding and how effective growth hacking is, as businesses lack methodologies to assess its effectiveness before committing resources and investments. To fill this gap, we developed a method …
