No full textCreazione di valore e canali di marketing: alcune riflessioni sull’industria del mobile
No full textThe aim of this paper is to describe the changes occurring in three furniture companies, Ikea, Febal and Scavolini in the customer value creation processes; the attempt is to emphasize how these processes can be better captured by a “representation” that is faraway from the traditional, “porterian” value-chain viewpoint and that we can call a value-network concept, bringing together different contributions in mainstream literature. In particular, this approach seems even more valid to catch the dynamics characterising the companies in relation to the marketing channels and distribution processes they are involved in. The opportunity to create a superior and new customer value depend more and more by an increasing number of actor, new activities and different resources; the emergence of the customer value results from downstream and upstream actors interacting simultaneously in each phase and bringing together different resources: competencies, skills, products, machines and information
The Role of Serial Crowdfunding in Startup Firms’ Innovative Activities
No full textCrowdfunding (CF) has attracted increasing attention from researchers and many studies have been conducted in order toshed light over a variety of aspects of the phenomenon, especially when a start-up is involved in.Recently, CF has been investigated also in the light of the “seriality” of CF campaigns, i.e. the participation to more than one campaign by the startup. The existing studies in this stream of research, focus mainly on how “serial CF” affects the management of the subsequent campaigns and their performance, thus adopting a merely “tactical” perspective on the phenomenon. More importantly, there is a lack of in-depth studies over the actual processes characterizing serial CF and its role in innovation strategies and practices.Consistently with the above mentioned gaps in literature, the main goal of this paper is thus to analyze more in depth the role of serial CF in innovation strategies adopted by start-up firms, shedding light on the micro-processes involved, in line with the recent call for exploring the “non-financial” dimension of CF.To this aim the paper adopts a qualitative methodology based on an exploratory case-study of a company actively exploiting multiple CF campaigns mostly as opportunities for innovation. The case offers offers insights over the role of serial CF in innovation processes
