Restrictions on data-driven political micro-targeting in Germany
2017
The revitalisation of canvassing in recent elections is strongly related to campaigns´ growing possibilities for analysing voter data to gain knowledge about their constituents, identifying their most likely voters and serving up personalised messages through individual conversations. The research literature about political micro-targeting hardly ever focusses on campaigns in parliamentary democracies with strict data protection laws. Based on in-depth expert interviews we introduce a framework of constraints in strategic political communication and reveal several restrictions on the macro, meso and micro levels which hinder the implementation of sophisticated data strategies in Germany. We…
Online Black-Markets: An Investigation of a Digital Infrastructure in the Dark
2021
AbstractThis paper investigates the functioning of Online Black-Markets (OBMs), i.e. a digital infrastructure operating in the Dark Net that enables the exchange of illegal goods such as drugs, weapons and fake digital identities. OBMs exist notwithstanding adverse conditions such as police interventions, scams and market breakdowns. Relying on a longitudinal case study, we focus on the dynamics of interactions among actors and marketplace technologies and we identify three mechanisms explaining OBMs operations. In particular, we show that OBMs infrastructure is the result of commoditization, platformization and resilience processes. Our contribution relies on the identification of communit…
Efeitos da sustentabilidade e valor logístico nas relações entre empresas de transporte marítimo
2020
Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar cómo la sostenibilidad (económica, social y ambiental), bajo el enfoque de triple línea base, afecta la calidad de servicio, el valor logístico y la satisfacción en empresas del sector marítimo. Se propone un modelo teórico que se contrasta con la información suministrada por una muestra de 50 responsables de empresas (transitarios, importadores y exportadores) en Panamá. La información se analiza mediante la estimación de regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales, que permite confirmar el carácter multidimensional de la sostenibilidad y del valor logístico. Los resultados también confirman que las percepciones de los clientes sobre las inici…

The Dark Side of Value Co-Creation: The Example of French Commercial Architecture
2018
Innovation is a network activity where different actors collaborate. An ethnographic survey of the French commercial architecture industry highlights the ambivalence of this co-production process. The results identify the sources of co-creation and co-destruction related both to the motivations of the actors and their interactions and examines their consequences. Retailers are encouraged to reposition themselves as project leaders, responsible for both assigning roles and mediating between the creative and technical functions. The development of new communication platforms to overcome interpretive biases between the diverse set of actors is also recommended.

Medicinal Mushrooms as Part of the "Third Mission" Activities of Univesities - A Science to Business Initiative Related to Mycotherapy
2021
In Italy, the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University System and Research (ANVUR) carries out a systematic evaluation of the "Third Mission" activities of universities and research bodies. In this perspective, universities already engaged in research on medicinal mushrooms and on their potential applications in the industrial sector set the frame for collaboration with large, well-reputed private companies. In Italy, one of the major problems of mycotherapy is related to lack of certification and the dubious origin/identity of mushroom extracts used by the industry. Hence, products deriving from medicinal mushrooms that are in trade do not often meet the required quality criter…
Web engineering and multi-criterion analisys of modeling languages used in production systems
2010
Abstract Economic globalization and strong, unprecedented, industrial competition, the overwhelming influence of information and communication technology, the Internet and its most important service, i.e. the World Wide Web have an undisputed impact upon all enterprises, exerting a strong influence on the competition system, the accelerated development of new products and services through reducing the development time of the product life cycle, as well as the improvement of upstream and downstream communication with suppliers and customers. Within this framework, taking into account the decline in worldwide economy, especially during the past few years, this paper aims to proposing a new so…
M-commerce - mobile commerce: a new frontier for E-business
2005
Mobile commerce involves the use of mobile computing devices in carrying out different types of economic transactions or enabling them to take place over space and time. The m-commerce includes use of such technologies as SMS services over a number of carriers (GSM, IS95, CDMA, W-CDMA), Bluetooth applications, and the integration of low-level digital carriers to IP based services through WAP or Compact HTML like the Japanese I-Mode service. This integration is one of the fastest growing markets of E-business and it will involve the development and design of a host of new applications, services, business models and technological solutions. The theme is both topical and challenging, as the nu…
An Analysis of the Romanian Internet Banking Market from the Perspective of Cloud Computing Services
2013
Abstract The Internet banking today is not something new anymore; all the banks in the Romanian market (and not only) are offering different forms of Internet banking which is ultimately a service in the cloud. In terms of cloud computing, Internet banking represents SaaS for the users, an application which uses Internet for making payments, viewing information, making deposits and so on. In this paper we briefly analyse the Romanian Internet banking market and compare some of the most popular Internet banking platforms. We will also draw some conclusions about this market in the context of the new Cloud computing delivery models.
