Carlo Scarpa a Palermo. Ambientare il pubblico: Palazzo Abatellis 1953-1954
2021
La scena sociale della città di Palermo è molto cambiata dagli anni ’50 ad oggi in rapporto al divenire delle cose. La stampa nazionale, pur ricordando le vittime del sistema mafioso e l’oscura visione criminale del “Sacco di Palermo”, ha posto sempre l’attenzione ad una condizione sociale fatalista e indifferente. Il Saggio “Carlo Scarpa a Palermo. Ambientare il pubblico: Palazzo Abatellis 1953-1954” partendo dalla fase della Ricostruzione post bellica degli anni Cinquanta propone una riflessione sulle relazioni compositive e sui rimandi espressivi tra le opere e lo spazio che le ospita - la Galleria regionale di Sicilia di Palazzo Abatellis - incardinati in una più ampia strategia dei per…
Reconfiguration: a key to handle exceptions and performance deteriorations in manufacturing operations
2005
During a manufacturing operation, exceptions may occur dynamically and unpredictably. Their occurrence may lead to the degradation of system performance or, in the worst case scenario may interrupt the production process by causing errors in the schedule plan. This paper classifies three families of exceptions: (1) out-of-order events such as machine breakdowns, (2) operational out-of-ordinary events such as rush orders and (3) deteriorations of manufacturing resource performance such as reductions of machines' utilization. In all cases, in order to maintain an adequate level of system performance, it is necessary to detect exceptions, to diagnose them quickly and to recover them by taking …
Strategies to exiting the COVID-19 lockdown for workplace and school: A scoping review
2021
Highlights • Epidemiological conditions should be monitored and enforced. • COVID-19 must be under control below thresholds of safeguards. • Testing, contact tracing, and isolation strategies are essential components to ease the lockdown. • The maintenance of social distancing measures is an overarching mitigation strategy. • The benefit gained from the implementation of social distancing was evident.
The Essence of Dynamic Capabilities and their Measurement
2016
The growing popularity of explaining firm performance through dynamic capabilities has motivated plenty of conceptual development in the field. However, empirical approaches to measuring dynamic capabilities have so far not been under comprehensive scrutiny. The authors; purpose is to assess the extent to which different ways of measuring dynamic capabilities in quantitative studies correspond to the theoretical essence of the concept, and develop recommendations for future research. They find that four types of operationalizations have been used: (1) managers’ evaluations; (2) financial data; (3) company's experience, actions and performance; and (4) managers’ or employees’ experience, act…
The Cyberspace Threats and Cyber Security Objectives in the Cyber Security Strategies
2013
Threats in cyberspace can be classified in many ways. This is evident when you look at cyber security on a multinational level. One of the most common models is a threefold classification based on motivational factors. Most nations use this model as a foundation when creating a strategy to handle cyber security threats as it pertains to them. This paper will use the five level model: cyber activism, cybercrime, cyber espionage, cyber terrorism and cyber warfare. The National Cyber Security Strategy defines articulates the overall aim and objectives of the nation's cyber security policy and sets out the strategic priorities that the national government will pursue to achieve these objectives…
Inter-industry job mobility in the knowledge economy in Finland
2013
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate inter-industry labor mobility, paying special attention to workers who move into high-tech (HT) sectors or knowledge-intensive business services (KIBSs). This study inquires whether skilled workers are mobile and whether the characteristics of mobile workers support the effective transfer of knowledge across industries. Design/methodology/approach – Census data representing 7 percent of Finnish residents were used. The micro-econometric estimation method with correction of sample selection bias was applied. Findings – The results show that young workers are the most mobile, whereas mobility decreased for those with previous work experie…
Self-construals, conflict styles, and religious identification in India
2013
Purpose – This paper aims to explore the relationships between self-construals, religious identification, and conflict styles in India. Design/methodology/approach – Data were gathered in India (n=1,108) among Hindus (n=744) and Muslims (n=364) in various organizations throughout India. Conflict styles were measured using Oetzel's conflict style measure. Self-construal was measured using Singelis' self-construal measure. Pearson correlations and multiple regressions were conducted. Findings – Correlation analysis showed significant negative correlation between the independent and interdependent self-construal. Multiple hierarchical regression modeling demonstrated significant interactions …
A model of quality management self‐assessment: an exploratory research
2005
PurposeContinuous improvement is a primary principle in total quality management. It is applied to all aspects of the organisation including products, processes, and even the management of the firm. In this context, quality management self‐assessment is a useful tool for fostering the continuous improvement of the whole company, comparing its activities and results with an excellence model. However, little is known about the variables and relationships underlying self‐assessment application. This paper tries to shed light on this topic.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is an exploratory case study. Three Spanish organisations with a broad experience in self‐assessment application a…
Self-assessment: a study of progress in Europe's leading organizations in quality management practices
1996
Reports a European study on the use of quality management self‐assessment. Data have been obtained from 117 organizations who, in general, have some experiences of self‐assessment methods. Among the main findings were the identification of the steps which are considered to be a key influence on the success of the self‐assessment process and what have been the main learning points. Points out that organizations are using self‐assessment mainly to identify strengths and weaknesses and also to facilitate internal and external learning in terms of transfer of best practice and ideas.
