A Dynamic Viewpoint to Design Performance Management Systems in Academic Institutions: Theory and Practice
2014
This article illustrates how to design and apply Performance Management systems in academic institutions by identifying and modeling those factors affecting academic performance through a dynamic performance management view. Particularly, combining performance management with System Dynamics modeling may allow academic decision-makers to better identify key performance drivers for pursuing a sustainable performance improvement in universities. In the second section of the article, a number of examples based on empirical findings from a field project aimed at designing a dynamic performance management model for the University of Palermo (Italy) are discussed.
Teaching Public Administration Abroad through the Fulbright Specialist Program
2011
The purpose of this article is to promote the benefits of the Fulbright Specialist Program—which was created in 2001 as a short-term complement to the Fulbright Scholar Program—and to encourage more public administration scholars to consider teaching abroad. After providing an overview of the Fulbright Specialist Program and the collaborative teaching approach we used for the preparation and delivery of instructional materials, it presents a number of lessons learned from the perspective of the Fulbright Specialist and the host institution for maximizing the experience of teaching abroad. This article also is dedicated to the work of Fulbright, which has pursued its mission to increase mutu…
Applying Dynamic Performance Management to the Photovoltaic Sector: the Municipality of Palermo case study
Today, the even more compelling need to limit carbon dioxide emissions from energy generation – to address the ongoing global warming – implies the recourse to renewable energy sources (RESs). Indeed, these latter are able to meet energy demand into a more sustainable way. Considering the EU targets for the year 2020 in the matter of climate and energy, public organizations are expected to take an active role e.g. by adopting and promoting RESs. In Italy, over the last decade, among the various technologies based on RESs, solar PV technology witnessed a remarkable growth thanks to the support of a government incentive scheme, which ceased to be applied in 2013. Since then, the PV power inst…
Environmental Voluntary Programs in the Transport Industry in the Post-COVID Situation: The French Experience
2022
This study investigates the drivers impacting the success of the environmental voluntary program recently launched in France. This program, titled EVE (Engagements Volontaires pour l’Environnement), aims to improve transport operators’ efficiency and to reduce CO2 emissions in the environment. Due to the complexity of the context in which the EVE program is implemented, we used a System Dynamics (SD) approach. This study offers multiple contributions. First, studying the dynamic interdependences of voluntary programs aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the transport industry can help policymakers in designing successful policies. In addition, the study can help transport operators engaged…

Team dynamics in emergency surgery teams: results from a first international survey
2021
Abstract Background Emergency surgery represents a unique context. Trauma teams are often multidisciplinary and need to operate under extreme stress and time constraints, sometimes with no awareness of the trauma’s causes or the patient’s personal and clinical information. In this perspective, the dynamics of how trauma teams function is fundamental to ensuring the best performance and outcomes. Methods An online survey was conducted among the World Society of Emergency Surgery members in early 2021. 402 fully filled questionnaires on the topics of knowledge translation dynamics and tools, non-technical skills, and difficulties in teamwork were collected. Data were analyzed using the softwa…
Ragioneria per le discipline economiche, sociali e statistiche
2010
La monografia dà un'impostazione sistematica alla disciplina in oggetto secondo una rivisitazione critica rispetto alle correnti concezioni della medesima. La prima parte, dedicata alla parte "generale", è rivolta ad ogni classe di azienda, e tocca anche i temi meta-disciplinari della stessa: epistemologia, metodologia, sistematica e relazioni con l'economia generale. La seconda parte, "applicata", tratta i linguaggi della Ragioneria con riferimento alle sue principali determinazioni, private o pubbliche, rivolte a soggetti esterni o interni
La ragioneria come conoscenza semiotica amministrativa: fondamenti generali e su linguaggi e regionalità
2014
Provided that the Ragioneria (roughlynearly “Accounting”) is a discipline of administrative semiotic knowledge, Paragraph 1 of the paper poses some systematic premises. Then Paragraph 2 deals with several very general fundamentals on semiotic activities and semiotic disciplines, on one hand, and forms of “trace inscriptions” and canonic dimensions of “width”, “height” and “depth” of Ragioneria, on the other hand; finally it identifies the languages as a sort of fil rouge for the formation and fruition of the signs of the entire discipline is suggested. Then Paragraph 3 deals with the principal language types of Ragioneria, highlighting the opportu-nity of tending to “stronger” languages as …

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING STRATEGY: DESIGNING A DYNAMIC INTEGRATED MODEL FRAMEWORK FOR THE SICILY REGION
Over the past decades, Sicily Region has experienced periods of stagnation, recession and sporadic slow economic growth, lagging always behind the national performance. As a consequence of globalization and deregulation, the relevance of regions in national economies has changed considerably in the last decades. Recognizing the importance of the Sicily region in the development process at national level, the purpose of the research is to further explore the dynamics governing the behaviour of the regional economic system. The goal is achieved by the use of simulation modelling: a model framework for the regional economic system is designed by integrating the System Dynamics (SD) methodology…
