Revenue-Aware Resource Allocation in the Future Multi-Service IP Networks
2006
In the future IP networks, a wide range of different service classes must be supported in a network node and different classes of customers will pay different prices for their used node resources based on their Service-Level-Agreements. In this paper, we link the resource allocation issue with pricing strategies and explore the problem of maximizing the revenue of service providers in a network node by optimally allocating a given amount of node resources among multiple service classes. Under the linear pricing strategy, the optimal resource allocation scheme is derived for the case that no firm Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees are required for all service classes, which can achieve the …
Network channel allocation and revenue maximization
2002
This paper introduces a model that can be used to share link capacity among customers under different kind of traffic conditions. This model is suitable for different kind of networks like the 4G networks (fast wireless access to wired network) to support connections of given duration that requires a certain quality of service. We study different types of network traffic mixed in a same communication link. A single link is considered as a bottleneck and the goal is to find customer traffic profiles that maximizes the revenue of the link. Presented allocation system accepts every calls and there is not absolute blocking, but the offered data rate/user depends on the network load. Data arriva…
The simulation and analysis of the revenue critierion based adaptive WFQ
2003
This paper presents the simulation and analysis of the adaptive resource allocation model, which was proposed and theoretically considered in our previous works. It relies upon the Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ) service policy and uses the revenue criterion to adjust weights. The purpose of the proposed model is to maximize a provider's revenue and, at the same time, ensure the required Quality-of-Service (QoS) for end-users. Our previous works provided the theoretical evaluation of the proposed model and considered the single-node case only. This paper presents more realistic network scenario, which includes a set of clients and several intermediate switching nodes with the proposed model. T…
Current Software-as-a-Service Business Models: Evidence from Finland
2012
This paper characterizes the business models of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) firms based on their value proposition, customer segments, revenue streams, and customer relationship, and analyzes interconnections of these business model elements. The target set of 163 Finnish SaaS and ASP firms was first compared to other software firms and then clustered into four clusters based on indicator data of their business model elements. The comparison reveals that the SaaS and ASP firms have smaller customer and transaction sizes than software firms in general. The resulting classification reveals two different configurations, a pure-play SaaS model and an enterprise SaaS model, and the typical fact…
ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF SHORT-TERM DECISIONS IN WINEGROWING FARMS
2014
The majority of small sized Sicilian winegrowing farms are placed in the first part of the supply chain. In this way they are subjected to the grapes prices fixed by the wineries, becoming price takers. This situation determines marginal revenues lower than average costs and in short-term a reduction of farmer income that it can allow to farm bankruptcy. In this context farmer should adopt economic strategies in order to obtain higher profit in a more and more competitive market. The aim of this paper is to understand whether, decreasing labor cost in short-term by means of process innovation, average costs of small sized Sicilian winegrowing farm do not exceed marginal revenues.
The great waves of accounting thought: an attempt of comparison between English and Italian literature
2020
The following speech has been pronounced at the XV Biennale of the Italian Society for Accounting History on October, 23rd, 2020, as the Introductory intervention of the Congress. The Author was Chairman of the Organizational Committee of the Congress and member of the Scientific Committee. It has the tentative status of scientific paper in order to be improved for a further process of publishing. It concerned the discerning of a number of parallel waves between English and Italian Accounting literature, since the early beginnings and until the advent of the Globalization Era, when standardization has made relatively unrelevant the specific contributions of single national streams of though…

INTO THE HOTEL REVENUE MANAGEMENT. “History & Forecast”
2010
During uncertain times a deeper attention on strategies is highly recommended in order to minimize the loss and maintain, or gain in certain cases, market share (Vergara C., 2004). In this direction, hotels are asked to invest more in Revenue Management intelligence, not only toward the actual practices based on Room Revenue, but also taking into consideration the other incoming departments and in particular Food & Beverage. This article aims to clearing up the current state of the Revenue Management theory and practice, starting from its origin, crossing the five pillars, or the current policies and ending with a brief hint on the future of the entire hotel industry, which here we may call…
