Perspectives of the App Economy: Tenets of the Innovative Phenomenon
Full text linkThe paper aims to explore the App Economy drawing on a configurational multiple-theory perspective (Meyer, Tsui & Hinings 1993; Miller, 1996), using the lens of Transaction Costs Theory, Regulation, Disruptive Innovation Theory and Systemic Approach. These theories are examined in the form of tenets. The choice of these theories as dimensions of our model is the output of two different activities. The first regards an ex-ante analysis of the previous studies in this field in order to find less investigated perspectives and find a connection between the topic of the App Economy and the main management theories; the second refers to a debate with some strategic management scholars in order to identify and choice the main theories for this research.
This paper contributes to the existing literature by proposing an original interpretation of the App Economy and it tries to add new knowledge in this emerging research field by adding new tenets. The results of study are the formulation of eight different tenets: two for Transaction Costs Theory, one for Regulation, three for Disruptive Innovation Theory and two for Systemic Approach. These results have confirmed the linked between chosen theories and the new research field of the App Economy. In any case, this paper is a preliminary study to develop a theoretically grounded approach to understanding the emergence of the App Economy and how manage the changes that it brings into the markets. This study has implications for several stakeholders (such as managers, enterprises, institutions, Authorities, app developers, operators, platform managers and other organizations that work in this field), and for several industries being impacted by developments induced by this innovative sharing econom
Food Tourism: La relazione tra cibo e territorio su twitter
No full textLa crescente complessità delle dinamiche che caratterizzano il viaggio e la pratica turistica sono state supportate dall’evoluzione della comunicazione e delle nuove tecnologie (ICT); la Rete, attraverso blog, recensioni, social network e molti altri strumenti informatici influenza profondamente i modi di vivere, gli atteggiamenti e le aspettative degli individui. In particolare, i Social Media, permettono una maggiore condivisione di informazioni e interessi fra i diversi utenti. Diverse ricerche hanno analizzato l’utilizzo e la partecipazione ai Social Media e il relativo contributo allo sviluppo dell’immagine turistica di un territorio ma solo alcune di esse approfondiscono il legame tra cibo e turismo. Obiettivo del presente studio è dunque quello di analizzare come nei “Social” si sviluppi la comunicazione sul cibo e come essa possa rappresentare un veicolo per comunicare un territorio dal punto di vista turistico. Fra i diversi strumenti, si è scelto di considerare Twitter, analizzando i contenuti dei tweet generati in un arco temporale definito, aventi per oggetto il cibo in due regioni “campione”, la Sicilia e la Toscana. I testi sono stati esaminati adattando la metodologia della Content Analysis, con metodo quali-quantitativo, che ha permesso di verificare a quali categorie e argomenti vengono correlate le parole chiave (hashtag) segnalate sulla piattaforma. I risultati ottenuti hanno messo in luce che esistono delle differenze nella comunicazione generata dagli users di Twitter in merito all’oggetto di analisi che possono essere spiegate dalla specificità dei territori e dal tipo di users coinvolti. Le indicazioni che scaturiscono possono essere utili ai diversi utenti attivi in questa rete per comprendere le potenzialità e i limiti di tali strumenti. Si ritiene, però, che i risultati ottenuti debbano essere contestualizzati al momento della rilevazione e valutati in funzione delle scelte operate: parole chiave utilizzate e strumento di analisi adottato
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
