Negative responses to strategic innovation, a case study of record labels facing streaming
2021
Record labels are organizations in charge of phonographic production at the interface between musicians and the audience. Since the arrival of digital technologies such as the mp3 and the Internet, record labels have had to adapt to several changes: wider distribution channels, dematerialized competitors, customers’ demands for free music, more ephemeral cooperation. Specifically, streaming platforms like Spotify brought a major change known as a strategic innovation. A strategic innovation is a strong change that overturns all previously established values in the sector (renewal of values attached to the product, values attached to the customer relationship and power relations). However, f…

A SHAKESPEAREAN WAY FOR CREATIVE SOLUTIONS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD
2012
Both the business world and the artistic one are interesting as far as they give solutions for us. Each in their own way. An artist or a businessman becomes creative if inspired, if living with emotion, if depicting things worth to be taken into consideration. They both start with a dream. The result? Their work, their success. They are both enthusiastic, and responsible for what they do, and the solutions to improve, to change if creative can shape the future differently. W.Shakespeare was probably the most creative of all times and understood the human being as nobody else had done before. A visionary? He was a mind for progress where dreams become reality. Creative performance both in th…
Reflexions sorgides del Màster de Secundària entorn de demandes innovadores de l'educació lingüística
2011
Les reflexions sobre innovació en educació lingüística que es desgranen en aquest article estan directament extretes de la meva experiència acadèmica, curta però intensa, durant el treball desenvolupat amb el meu alumnat de l'especialitat de Llengües i Literatures del Màster en Professorat d'Educació Secundària en l'assignatura comuna als itineraris de les diferents procedències filològiques anomenada Innovació docent i iniciació a la investigació educativa. Són reflexions que inclouen, també, les riques percepcions que m'han aportat les alumnes i alumnes participants en les dues edicions d'aquest curs de postgrau a la meva universitat.
Innovation in the regeneration of the histric center in Sicily: Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto (ME)
2012
Abstract The criteria for intervention on the existing building heritage in the historic centers cannot be pursued without taking into consideration the renovation of the whole relevant urban territory. This does not imply an idea to postpone to future planning, rather to increase the topics in the General Urban Plan (PUG), by bringing into the PUG the elements of the traditional detailed plans for the historic areas with a methodology simplification. The detailed planning has been characterized in the years as “exemplary”, possibly due to the complexity of its project contents and rules and regulations, particularly in the historic areas. Indeed in Italy detailed plans for historic areas a…

Innovations of a sub-regional plan: Palermo and its territory in Sicily
2012
Abstract Territorial planning (provincial or sub-regional) in Italy is still up to this day regulated, at national level, similarly to the local administrative planning, but with less influence on the use of the territory, particularly for public infrastructures. This makes the territorial planning inadequate in keeping up with nowadays fast pace transformations. The required transformations are depending less on the regular planning process and are increasingly following the expenditure needs for uncoordinated individual investments, particularly from the European Union. The new pace of the expenditures, mainly imposed for more significant works and based on the link “financing-project-dis…
Critical Experiences During the Implementation of a Self-tracking Technology
2016
Emerging technologies have brought several new ways to track, measure and evaluate own activity. Well-being, nutrition, physical training, mood, and sleep are a few of the various measures that can be self-tracked by different technological solutions. At the same time, people are becoming more interested in themselves and their own well-being, and constant tracking of own activities is getting more and more popular both on individual level as well as in general healthcare. This study examines critical experiences that occur during the implementation phase of the innovation-decision process and their influence to adopting or rejecting a self-tracking technology. The study is qualitative in n…
Educational Research and Innovation: The Case of School Geography
2013
El divorcio existente entre la investigación educativa universitaria y la innovación didáctica en la educación básica y obligatoria se ha convertido en un obstáculo para la mejora del aprendizaje de las personas. Los proyectos curriculares constituyen una alternativa para superar este problema. En el caso de la geografía escolar mostramos ejemplos empíricos de cómo es posible complementar la innovación con proyectos de investigación. Para ello hemos utilizado una propuesta de estudio del medio urbano.
