Corporate Sustainability and Intangible Resources Binomial: New Proposal on Intangible Resources Recognition and Evaluation
2020
This study argues that the context in which an organization adopts the principles of corporate sustainability and is guided by a culture of sustainability will determine the development of the components of corporate intangible resources. However, in trying to evaluate the impact of adopting the principles of corporate sustainability on the development of the intangible resources held by a company, we encountered a major problem, namely that there is no consistent and internationally accepted methodology for assessing such resources, despite theorists&rsquo
Internal vs. external R&D teams: Evidences from the Italian wine industry
2021
R&D teams' internationalization attracts interests from different research-streams. However, the decision on what type of R&D structure is more convenient to invest in may differ, based on several factors, such as risk-taking propensity and internal resource availability. With an aim to enrich the extant literature and to provide practical insights for managers working in the wine industry, this case study explores the determinants of an Italian family-owned winery that attempts to keep a balance between its internal and external R&D teams' decision, using an integrated theoretical framework based on the transaction costs and the resource-based view theory. The optimal R&D s…
Theorizing expectations as enablers of intangible assets in public relations: Normative, predictive, and destructive
2019
Expectations intersect with many areas of public relations, yet conceptual and theoretical understandings of expectations have not been strong in public relations research. In fact, expectations are often discussed at a cursory level, expectation theories are seldom applied, and the concept of expectations is not problematized. In this article, therefore, we explore the role of expectations in public relations and illustrate how expectations shape organizational relationships, particularly by enabling or destroying the creation of organizational intangible assets. We identify gaps in how expectations are addressed in public relations, present the results from a literature review of 159 acad…
Kā robežas ietekmē NATO ģimenes locekļu integrāciju uzņēmējvalstī
2020
Bakalaura darbā es koncentrējos gan uz fiziskajām, gan abstraktajām NATO robežām, kas ir ietekmējošie faktori NATO ģimeņu integrācijas procesā uzņemšanas valstī un organizācijas dalībnieku identitātes veidošanā. Es skatu kā abstraktās robežas, piemēram, valodas robežas, tiek konstruētas un uzturētas militārajā kontekstā. Analizējot dalībnieku intervijas, es uzsveru cilvēku pieredzes aspektus gan NATO robežās, gan ārpus tām, dalībnieku pašidentifikāciju, kā arī kultūru apvienošanos.
Moros y cristianos. De la batalla festiva a la discursiva
2008
Hace poco más de un año se acordaba en España admitir a trámite en el Congreso de los Diputados la proposición no de ley del Grupo Parlamentario Popular relativa a la proclamación de las "fiestas de moros y cristianos" como obras maestras del patrimonio oral e inmaterial de la humanidad. La solicitud se contextualiza en la democratización y universalización que el patrimonio ha experimentado y se explica por la vertiente cada vez más mercantilista de los procesos de patrimonialización. En el caso que nos ocupa la presentación estuvo envuelta en una interesante discusión política sobre la "tradición", la "libertad" y la "amenaza". Este artículo analiza la polémica sobre estas fiestas y su pr…
The French “takes” of intangible cultural heritage : tracking the actualizations of a complex and ambiguous political device
2022
Intangible cultural heritage (hereafter ICH), introduced by UNESCO with the 2003 convention, is a complex and ambiguous entity that takes different forms depending on whether it is in the hands of state heritage institutions, territorial communities, associations, militant movements or researchers in the humanities and social sciences. It can be considered as a means of affirming a “national community” in the name of a “cultural exception”, as an instrument of governmentality, as a resource and a decisive lever for territorial development, as a means of recognition, as a critical weapon or as a space for questioning the sharing of knowledge and expertise.This research aims to explore these …
Palabras tejidas: método y uso de un tesauro multilingüe de la seda
2021
El patrimonio europeo de la seda es un patrimonio integral que abarca tanto bienes materiales (telares, tejidos, hilos, etc.) como un importante patrimonio inmaterial lingüístico. Su importancia como patrimonio es indudable, pero aunque la seda ha tejido Europa y se sigue utilizando en numerosos contextos, la tejeduría tradicional está en riesgo por la pérdida gradual de artesanos que salvaguarden el conocimiento ancestral. Además, la seda sigue siendo relevante para las personas que experimentan conexiones vivas, personales y sociales con este patrimonio, el cual está vinculado a tantas historias de vida y relatos colectivos que ha generado numerosos vocablos propios. El modo en que se han…
El hilo de la historia: del patrimonio mueble al intangible. Rescatando el patrimonio textil sedero
2021
[EN] Silk heritage belongs to the so-called integral heritage type, which means that tangible and intangible elements can be found in one piece. Moreover, silk is a living heritage strongly connected with its community. It is paradigmatic case, where its intangible elements go from literature, to mulberry farming, or traditional weaving techniques. Also, activities surrounding silk trade have left an imprint on various cities in monuments and even marking their town planning. Nowadays, silk is a living heritage in various communities and constitutes an element of creativity that can be appreciated in the current fashion trends. This paper addresses the main results of the SILKNOW project, f…
TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE HERITAGE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SUSTAINABLE CITY

The case studies of Tunis and Marseille will help to address the issue of the enhancement of historic city centres and the redevelopment of abandoned industrial areas. In Tunis we will…
