Click and drive: Consumer attitude to product development: Towards future transformations of the driving experience
2016
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to supply indications that may be useful in the process of development of new products that fully exploit the value potential of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the automotive industry. To this aim, the authors investigate how applications of the IoT to smart vehicles are perceived by consumers and describe different ways to increase their satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – After a literature review focused on IoT and consumer behaviour in the automotive industry, the authors apply the Kano model to find the drivers for achieving customer satisfaction with new product developments in smartcars. Findings – Automotive companies need to…
The relationship between institutions and value creation in software development models
2018
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the possibility for firms to consider institutional settings to systematically direct dispersed individual efforts of discovery and invention towards objects (products or processes) of their interest in order to enhance their value creation capacity. Design/methodology/approach The authors conduct a comparative analysis of the different institutional settings within which software products are invented and produced – closed producer-centred model, open user-centred model, and hybrid interactive producer-user model. Findings The authors draw indications regarding the possibility to design institutional settings for value creation and the poten…
Internationalization of firms: revitalizing the board of directors after a cross-border acquisition
2017
Purpose This paper aims to show the importance of introducing an integration manager (i.e. an executive position used to channel the acquiring firm’s course of action and strengthen the success of a post-acquisition integration process) within the acquiring firm’s board of directors. Design/methodology/approach This is a theoretical paper that introduces the integration manager within the board of privately held firms going internationally via acquisitions and serving as an “out-insider” director able to balance the conflicting demands of the previously separated entities during their integration process. The authors present an explanatory case study that empirically contributes to the boa…
The role of perceived value and emotions in the satisfaction and future intentions of spectators
2016
The quality of service offered by sports entities has become a good predictor of user satisfaction and also future intentions. To know the future intentions of customers of any service is a key objective to develop service improvement and retention strategies. This need has also become apparent to professional sports clubs. In this study, the relationship between quality, perceived value, emotions, satisfaction and future intentions of spectators are analyzed for a sporting event. Using a sample of 563 spectators and modeling with structural equations, results indicate that perceived value is the best predictor of the satisfaction and future intentions of spectators, while quality and emoti…
Cybernetics of Value Co-creation
2014
The paradigm shift from value creation to value "co-creation" calls for a deeper grasp of organizational learning in marketing theory. This paper adopts a cybernetic view of the process of value co-creation to shed light on its relevant aspects and to supply a framework to implement operations and strategies to foster this process. Can cybernetics help to better understand the process of value co-creation? Can the Viable System Model (Beer, 1979) be a sound approach to shape a more effective value co-creation process able to achieve higher satisfaction and value? In this theoretical paper we will show how cybernetic can be effectively used to give a positive answer to both questions above
Li palermitani in festa di Giovanni Meli: la riforma della vastasata
2017
Analisti e commentatori hanno individuato nella produzione letteraria di Meli la cellula neuronale del dibattito tardo romantico sull’identità nazionale siciliana. Nonostante sia una parte minima delle sue opere, la sua produzione teatrale, espressione completa della sua poetica, ad oggi è stata esplorata in maniera marginale. L’articolo mira a comprendere la prassi drammaturgica e poetica della farsetta Li palermitani in festa, che presenta venature equivalenti a quelle rintracciabili nella commedia riformata da Goldoni, ma anche i solchi ben marcati della tradizione della Commedia dell’Arte siciliana, e che riformò il genere delle vastasate nell’ultimo scorcio del XVIII secolo.
A Viable System View of the Japanese Lean Production System
2011
We highlight the main characteristics of lean production and we analyze them using a viable-systemic perspective. Doing so we consider the lean production with its osmotic interactions with the Japanese business system and we create a framework which highlights the key relations which are essential for the viability of the system.
A Visual Introduction to Cubic Surfaces Using the Computer Software Spicy
2003
At the end of the 19th century geometers like Clebsch, Klein and Rodenberg constructed plaster models in order to get a visual impression of their surfaces, which are so beautiful from an abstract point of view. But these were static visualizations. Using the computer program Spicy 1, which was written by the second author, one can now draw algebraic curves and surfaces depending on parameters interactively.
