Developing Inter-Regional Brands
No full textPurpose – The contribution of the present research and aim of the present paper is a provision and discussion of eclectic interdisciplinary concepts constituting a body of knowledge for developing and managing inter-regional brands, hence contributing to closing the scientific gap as to an inter-regional
brand development conceptualisation.
Design/methodology/approach – The research method used was a case study, targeted to develop an understanding of a neglected academic field. Based on a documentary analysis, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted and interpreted. The InterReg IIIB-supported RegioMarket project
and a case study on Liechtenstein provide the background for the project.
Findings – Based on an extensive literature review, the present paper states that interdisciplinary theoretical development of the concept of branding has not kept pace with the increasing practical
application of the branding concepts in a variety of sectors leading to application gaps and dissatisfying results. Representing the ultimate level of complexity, the development and management of inter-regional brands crossing nations and cultures currently lacks any empirically researched
systematic theory. Following the exploratory stage, an initial conceptualisation is presented to bridge the scientific gap as to the development of inter-regional brands.
Research limitations/implications – The major limitation of the research is that it focuses on only one participating region. Hence, the initial conceptualisation needs to be validated in other
participating regions. A further limitation refers to a lack of research on the specific influence of SMEs on the success of the development of inter-regional brands.
Originality/value – The discussion interlinks the interdisciplinary concepts of branding, perception, region, leadership, culture and identity and provides an initial conceptualisation so far
not identified in the field of inter-regional branding.

Intangible assets in company succession in German SME
No full textOn a European scale company succession in
small and medium-sized enterprises is heralded
to become a topic of increasing academic
and practical relevance. As an example, the
Commission of the European Communities (2006)
states that one third of European entrepreneurs
will leave within the next ten years. In absolute
figures, this refers to approximately 690,000 SMEs
and 2.8 million jobs every year. In this situation
more and more entrepreneurs have difficulties
to find an appropriate successor within the own
family and are forced to consider external persons
in the succession process. Consequently, the
identification and assessment of relevant company
assets will be of crucial interest for potential
investors. However, the nature of companies
has changed, and qualitative (intangible) aspects
of company performance increasingly replace
previously relevant assets such as tangible assets.
A wide-ranging literature review revealed a myriad
of articles related to “intangible assets/intellectual
capital” in general and the valuation/measurement
of them in particular. However, detailed analytical
work on the content of these articles revealed
neither a theoretical nor an empirical elaboration
on providing information about the current status of
this topic in SMEs. This situation represented the
starting point of the Ph. D. research. Hypothesizing
that these intangibles assets (IA) are the key
drivers of organizational development and success
in companies, the underlying research questions
are concerned with the role of these factors in the
company succession process in SMEs seen from
the investor’s perspective.
The paper provides the results of an empirical study
of the relevance of intangible assets in general and
for the purpose of company succession in particular.
Thereby, the descriptive study provides status quo
views on the attitude towards IA, the most relevant IA drivers in SMEs, applied IA Valuation methods
compared to theory, the influence of knowledge /
professional experience of the valuer and finally,
decisive factors of successful SMEs indicating
clues for the negotiation process between seller
and buyer.
The total population consisted of the two subpopulations
Trade Corporations and Chambers of
Commerce. The associations play an important
role in Germany. Each German company registered
in Germany is obliged by law to join one of the
associations. The skilled crafts in Germany are
member of the trade corporation, and the rest of the
companies with the exception of free professions
and farms are member of the chambers of
commerce. Besides providing services in different
areas such as vocational training, law or general
economical questions they are also first hand
contact referring to business start up and transfer.
Based on the central role of them in Germany and
their contacts to SMEs, it was decided to choose
the associations representing the total population
of the quantitative research
Orientamenti giurisprudenziali e dottrinali sul concetto di essenzialità delle prestazioni e sul diritto alla salute come diritto finanziariamente condizionato.
No full textL’elaborato mira a indagare la tematica della possibile sovrapponibilità concettuale tra livelli essenziali di assistenza e nucleo essenziale del diritto alla salute, attraverso l’analisi dei contributi della dottrina, della giurisprudenza costituzionale e della legislazione in materia. Ne emerge un aspetto cruciale per le democrazie contemporanee: quello del rapporto tra disciplina e limiti ai diritti costituzionali e loro protezione, anche nei confronti della stessa legislazione. In particolare il settore sanitario costituisce un banco di prova per l’intero ambito dei diritti a prestazione, oggi al crocevia tra un’opzione politica per certi versi ancora dubbia sul livello di decentramento o federalismo da completare e le difficoltà finanziarie che minano la sostenibilità del modello dello Stato sociale, mentre la stessa appartenenza all’ordinamento dell’Unione europea impone risposte non più procrastinabili.The essay focuses on whether and how the concept of “essential levels of healthcare” and the one of “essential nucleus of the right to health” coincide. Case law, doctrine and legislation on the matter show a crucial aspect of today’s democracy: the relationship between limitations and protection of constitutional rights. No doubt that the health sphere represents a touchstone of the social rights’ system as a whole, but it is today at a crossing point among: political choices regarding the federalist option, the financial constraints which threaten the Welfare State model and the commitments required at European level
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
