Does virtual help real? Investigating how virtual tours affect learning, satisfaction, museum liking, and willingness to visit
No full textAssuming the disruptive role played by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in enhancing museums’ appeal and attracting new audiences, this paper focuses on how virtual tours (VTs) can be used as an information tool outside of a museum and their effects on users’ learning and satisfaction as well as the museum liking and the intention to visit it. Two experiments were designed. The first experiment was conducted to compare the impact of a text-based tool (a written guide) with the impact of an immersive tool (a virtual tour) on these variables, and to investigate the mediating
role of the flow experience. A second study was designed to explore the moderation role of museum reputation, comparing a well-known museum with a less known one. As for the first experiment, both multivariate and post-hoc univariate models show that the VT increases visitors’ satisfaction, but does not significantly increase learning levels, museum liking, and willingness to visit. The relationship between VT use and satisfaction is mediated by the flow experience. The differential multivariate effects of VTs strengthen the internal validity of the emerging relationship with satisfaction and the missing relationships with more distal psychological variables. Taken together, the results orient practitioners towards reconsidering the use of traditional written tools and evaluating the quality of VR-based experiences
Le collaborazioni coordinate continuative nel pubblico impiego: gli incarichi di supporto ai vertici politici, la gratuità e la loro stipulazione con soggetti in quiescenza
No full textL’art. 7 del D.Lgs. 30 marzo 2001, n. 165 regolamenta le modalità con cui le pubbliche amministrazioni possono stipulare contratti di lavoro autonomo e dunque anche quelli di collaborazione coordinata e continuativa. Ne risulta una disciplina particolarmente dettagliata che però deve coordinarsi con altre disposizioni esterne al Testo unico del pubblico impiego che, a volte, derogano in maniera sostanziale a quanto stabilito dal legislatore del 2001.
Ciò è particolarmente vero per i contratti di collaborazione di supporto ai vertici politici previsti dalle leggi regionali o per quelli stipulati con soggetti in quiescenza; il presente contributo cerca di cogliere la ratio delle diverse disposizioni e ricavarne un’interpretazione unitaria basata su principi comuni evidenziando le differenti e, a volte, contraddittorie posizioni della giurisprudenza di legittimità, amministrativa e contabile.
Inoltre, il saggio affronta il tema delle ragioni dell’illegittimità del conferimento di contratti di collaborazione coordinata e continuativa gratuiti, consentiti invece dalla giurisprudenz

No full textDynamic interactions between entrepreneurial domains and outcomes: The evolution of innovation ecosystems
Get PDFThe actors and components of an entrepreneurial ecosystem coexist and interact continuously, leading to many mutual relationships. Existing studies favour a static approach to the investigation of innovation ecosystems, frequently neglecting the chains of connections between ecosystem domains and business results. This study attempts to fill this gap by studying the causality connections within innovation ecosystems, with a specific focus on the mutual causal links between ecosystem domains and entrepreneurial outcomes. Our empirical analysis is grounded in ecosystem archetypes centred on the entrepreneur, thus emphasising the centrality of the entrepreneur and their capability to absorb, capture, and exploit the surrounding ecosystem. Econometric models attempt to cope with the endogeneity issue and are estimated using the PSED II dataset. We find that ecosystem domains can be placed on a spectrum. This ranges from those with a direct influence on the desirable target of transforming a nascent entrepreneur into a new firm or on the decision to quit business projects to those exerting an indirect influence on the transition to a new firm in the form of higher-order connections among domains
