Tracing multisensory food experiences on Twitter
2021
How a food, or a dish, is named and how its components and attributes are described can all influence the perception and the enjoyment of the food. Therefore, tracing patterns in food descriptions and determining their role can be of value. The aims of this study were the following: (1) to describe the multisensory food experience as represented in microblog entries concerning food and drink on Twitter, (2) to provide an overview of the changes in the above-mentioned food representations during the period 2011‐20, and (3) to contribute to a broader understanding of the human‐food relationship as reflected on social media ‐ in this case Twitter ‐ and outline its potential utility for the res…
CSR practices in professional sport clubs : towards a new model of legitimization?
2012
The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), developed in the US throughout the second half part of the 20th century, is the application of the principles of sustainable development in businesses. Formerly used by the multinational sector only, the concept of CSR has spread nowadays over a large kind of organizations including French professional sports clubs. The purpose of this research is to show, in the continuity of neoinstitutionnalism, that CSR practices in these organizations are primarily answering to goals of legitimating, aiming to make their activities viable towards the expectations of their environment stakeholders. Suggesting a framework, and applying it to four case…

Combating illegal phenomena in Professional Football in Italy: the strengths and weaknesses of the actual model of governance
2012
A recent report about football sector in Italy highlights the reduction of competitive equilibrium of the teams, as shown by their poor performances in Europe, the reduction of fans in the stands, the economic losses and the increasing of debts. In a previous research, we analyse the governance model established in Italy in the professional football sector, and we realize a taxonomy framework helpful for identifying appropriate tools and procedures to overcome them (Cincimino, Tomaselli, Carini, 2012). In this research we focus on a particular category of the taxonomy framework of pathologies. The aim is to explore how to contrast the illegal pursuit of football club objectives and extra cl…

Volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs: A multilevel analysis in 10 European countries
2020
Regular voluntary engagement is a basic resource for sports clubs that may also promote social cohesion and active citizenship. The satisfaction of volunteers is an imperative factor in this engagement, and the purpose of this article is to explore individual and organizational determinants of volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs. Theoretically, our study builds on the actor-theory concepts where volunteer satisfaction depends on subjective evaluations of expectations and experiences in a sports club (‘logic of situation’), so that positive evaluations lead to higher satisfaction and, hopefully, retention of volunteers. This research uses a sample of 8131 volunteers from 642 sports clubs…
ConvergenceClubs: A Package for Performing the Phillips and Sul's Club Convergence Clustering Procedure
2019
This paper introduces package ConvergenceClubs, which implements functions to perform the Phillips and Sul (2007, 2009) club convergence clustering procedure in a simple and reproducible manner. The approach proposed by Phillips and Sul to analyse the convergence patterns of groups of economies is formulated as a nonlinear time varying factor model that allows for different time paths as well as individual heterogeneity. Unlike other approaches in which economies are grouped a priori, it also allows the endogenous determination of convergence clubs. The algorithm, usage, and implementation details are discussed.
Experience discrepancy in leadership succession: Does it matter? Evidence from the Elite European Soccer Clubs (1994-2015)
2018
International audience; The level of profile similarity between the new leader and the former one matters and will affect subsequent strategic change and thus performance. An excess of exploration as well as an excess of exploitation are detrimental to future performance. When replacing a leader, owners should take into consideration the profile and experience dissimilarities between the predecessor and the successor.
