The effect of hotel chain affiliation on economic performance: The moderating role of tourist districts
2020
Abstract This paper offers a pioneering analysis of the impact that integration in different types of hotel chains has on firm performance, and the moderating effect of the tourist destination in this relationship. Studies in the literature examine both size and location independently, without reconciling the apparently contradictory trends of globalization and conservation of the local base. The aim of the research is to analyze the comparative effects on tourism firms’ performance of belonging to different types of hotel chains while maintaining the advantages of location in a tourist destination. Based on a study of 292 Spanish hotels, the authors test the proposed hypotheses using hiera…
Global versus cultural approaches in public relationship management
2007
PurposeThe aim of this paper is to present and compare two approaches (the global and the cultural) to public relationship management and to argue by reference to different cases, why the cultural approach can be considered more effective in establishing good relationships in different national cultural contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe discussion identifies some of the limitations of recent thinking regarding the nature of a global public and the possibility to define and treat international publics as a global public in public relationship management. As validation of this claim, cases in the European context are presented to show that a cultural approach provides better interpretat…
Monográfico. Cine: Arte e industria. [DOI:10.37785/nw.v4n2.a6]
2020
En 1895, en plena segunda revolución industrial, el cine emprendió su andadura con la patente del “cine- matógrafo” de los hermanos Lumière, un ingenio que, gracias a un procedimiento mecánico, permitía no solo la captación de imágenes “reales” –como lo hiciera en su momento la fotografía, pero esta vez añadiéndoles movimiento– sino también la proyección de esa continuidad de imágenes impresionadas. No cabe la menor duda de que con el objeto nació una industria, item est, una actividad lucrativa que explotaba la novedosa invención técnica con el fin de producir bienes comerciables que ofertar a la ociosa sociedad burguesa de finales del s. XIX y principios del s. XX. Rápid…
Globalization Competencies in Information Systems and E-Learning
2010
Abstract. Internationalization and globalization competences play a major role for graduates and employees in IS related enterprises. In contrast to other disciplines such as Business or Economics, the IS discipline rarely addresses this competence area. In the paper, we identify generic competence areas: coordination, communication, and cooperation. We derive domain specific competences for the field of E-Learning in Higher Education. The paper concludes with an outlook of promising research areas to foster and intensify research in the domain. peerReviewed
Competenze interculturali: il settore giuridico
2013
L'analisi delle competenze interculturali nel contesto giuridico, latamente inteso, costituisce terreno di vivo interesse sia per coloro, fra i giuristi, per i quali la globalizzazione e il fenomeno migratorio rappresentano un dato di significativa portata e di grande influenza dogmatica giuridica, in termini di circolazione di modelli; sia per quanti, viceversa, reputano l'incontro tra culture un dato affatto irrilevante, in ragione della vocazione tendenzialmente neutra della disciplina del diritto. Il contributo presenta una ricerca esplorativa sulle competenze interculturali realizzata con "operatori privilegiati" del settore giuridico. In seguito ai risultati emersi dai Focus Group e d…
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY IN THE CURRENT GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONTEXT
2012
In the current economic context, the social issue has become a major preoccupation for the current activity of the organizations that aim to create performance. This is because the modern organization is evaluated also from the point of view of its contribution to the social life of the community it belongs to. As Sophocles said “all benefactors think a little bit also about themselves”. Nowadays, managers not only do they have to lead the activities of the economic organizations in a profitable way, but also have to be responsible for the impact of these activities. Therefore, when confronted to the numerous opportunities and dangers, current companies and managers must find economically, …

Cultura, transformación urbana y empoderamiento ciudadano frente a la gentrificación: Comparación entre el caso de Getsemaní (Cartagena de Indias) y …
2016
La cultura se ha convertido en un elemento esencial en los procesos de transformación urbana, especialmente en los barrios céntricos de las ciudades históricas. Ello se explica por lo decisivo de su rol en cuanto a fomentar el consumo y la marca territorial en el marco de la globalización de flujos económicos y turísticos. Este papel de la cultura en la refuncionalización del espacio urbano ha sido reiteradamente criticado por diversos autores. Sin embargo, también se plantea que la cultura puede contribuir a revalorizar los barrios marginales construyendo una imagen positiva, y a empoderar a la ciudadanía contra la gentrificación. Asimismo, como se analizará en el caso de Getsemaní y del R…
Design ed eco-sostenibilità: le fibre vegetali in Sicilia tra tradizione ed innovazione
2012
Il dibattito sulla questione ambientale, sorto tra gli anni ‘60 e ‘70 del secolo scorso, con la formazione delle prime associazioni ambientaliste, ebbe come nodo centrale il rapporto tra economia e ambiente, nella sempre più evidente necessità di preservare la qualità del patrimonio naturale e nella consapevolezza che, essendo le risorse del pianeta tendenzialmente esauribili, dovessero essere rivisti ed equilibrati i modelli di sviluppo. Gli oggetti, secondo la lezione di Bruno Latour, simboleggiano stili di vita che comprendono al loro interno processi comunicativi e riguardano in ogni caso la sfera dell’informazione, dell’interazione, del ricordo e anche del desiderio. L’omologazione del…
