A Complex Adaptive System Framework for Management and Marketing Studies

2015

This theoretical work aims to analyze the choice of strategicmanagement activities, taking into account a complex systems perspective. Following this approach, we represent the firm as a complex adaptive system, in which the management must be able to develop and implement different behaviors in order to dynamically ensure the viability of the firm or system. This implies that the management governing the firm or system is capable of choosing, from among a number of heterogeneous entities, the relevant stakeholders within the competitive context and of creating and maintaining significant relationships with them, which are considered to be relevant in a turbulent environment. As an expressi…

Unraveling the Complexity of Tourist Experience with NFC Technology and Mobile Wallets

2014

By considering the tourist experience as a complex dynamic system, in this paper we depict the traveler as a kybernetes (κυβeρνήτης is the ancient Greek word for ‘sea captain’, ‘steersman’, or ‘governor’) in search of powerful tools to help him or her to obtain directions in the mare magnum of complexity, overcoming the fear of action and taking decisions. We focus our attention on the key role of Near Field Communication technology and mobile wallet as ‘attenuators of complexity’ in the travel and tourism industry.

The Culture on the Palm of Your Hand: How to Design a User Oriented Mobile App for Museums

The increased usage of mobile apps has a great potential for the tourism industry. Through the use of mobile apps, web portals and social media may allow a fast and wide diffusion of awareness for museum and attract a large number of visitors, thus increasing the value of their image, with moderate investments. The aim of this chapter is to identify the key factors as antecedents of customer satisfaction for the design of a mobile app for a museum. To this aim, the authors use the Kano model that allows categorizing service attributes according to how they are perceived by customers and estimating their impact on customer satisfaction. This model is adopted in order to identify express and …

Small world theory and the World Wide Web: linking small world properties and website centrality

2016

This qualitative paper aims to point out the incidence of small world characteristics in the World Wide Web. To this end, some theoretical implications of small world theory (SWT) are verified using information from focus groups and in-depth interviews administered to experts and users of the World Wide Web. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to apply small world properties to online social networks while pointing out the key variables of website centrality in that context. Building on this, the paper traces possible contributions for better management of the World Wide Web in terms of the professional use of social media to facilitate information or product …

Decoding the Japanese Lean Production System according to a Viable Systems Perspective

2012

The increase in the complexity and variability of the business environment, due to constant and rapid changes in markets, calls for more flexible and effective production systems. Of the most valuable production systems, the Japanese lean production system (LPS) is the best known and studied, but is still not the most widely applied with success outside Japan. The reason for the low level of success of lean production outside its native country is the lack of understanding of the strong interactions which hold between enterprises and business systems. In order to fill this gap in our knowledge, we investigate the systemic interactions according to the Viable System View. To develop our anal…

Environmental Quality and Entrepreneurial Activity in Rural Tourism in Italy

2012

We estimate the relation between environmental quality and services in rural tourism in Italy. We use the average number of firms per region in 2003-07 to indicate entrepreneurial activity. We suggest that heterogeneity among administrative regions can be tied to environmental quality. Incorporated farms in rural tourism are relatively more common in regions with better environmental quality, and command higher average price from better quality in hospitality. Only 7% of entrepreneurial activity can be attributable to environmental quality. We conclude that rural tourism activity in Italy is not genuinely tied to environmental quality.

Sub specie æternitatis: the role of the ruin and the ancient in the process of architectural renewal between metamorphosis and resurgence

2022

Composing new works of architecture inspired by vestiges from antiquity or archaeology. The reflections and the case study which will be proposed, pertaining to a recent design experiment for the archaeological area and Antiquarium of Tyndaris, are dedicated to this theme. Over and above any charm exerted by such places, by landscapes in which the ruins appear identical in substance and which sometimes manifest themselves as “sub specie æternitatis”, there are reasons linked to the very profession of architect and to the gashes in the crucible of controversies around the role of history in its contentious relationship with architectural design. That apart, the aporias revealed by Michel Fou…

Entro questa concezione della storia o meglio di una metodologia per la storia che "tenda all'archeologia in quanto descrizione intrinseca del monumento" le opere e i progetti di architettura appaiono come i protagonisti di un'azione drammatica incentrata sull'opposizione tra la permanenza della "struttura" e il fremito del mutamento. Quel fremito che nell'età dell'Umanesimo aveva animato le menti degli architetti affrontando allo stesso modo i campi della filologia e dell'architettura studiando i monumenti antichi come testi allo scopo di "generare nuove forme e dare così vita a una nuova classica tradizione".Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E Urbanain sintesi alle trasformazioni che valgono come fondazione e rinnovamento delle fondazioni stesse.&nbspdi Tindari che si proporranno. Al di là e oltre la suggestione esercitata dai luoghi da paesaggi cui i ruderi appaiono consustanziali e che si manifestano talora "sub specie aeternitatis" vi sono motivi legati al mestiere stesso di architetto e alle lacerazioni vissute nel crogiolo delle polemiche intorno al ruolo della storia nel suo controverso rapporto con il progetto di architettura. Del resto le aporie svelate da Michel Foucault mettendo in discussione quello che si era proposto come progetto di una storia globale avevano dato rilievo alla discontinuità alle fratture alle soglieComporre nuova architettura in rapporto con le vestigia dell'antichità o in ambito archeologico.
