Unpacking the temporal dimension of coopetition in tourism destinations: evidence from Finnish and Italian theme parks
No full textCoopetition, namely the co-presence of cooperation and
competition, is a new strategy that goes beyond the established
business paradigms of competition and cooperation. This type of
strategy is relevant in tourism destinations, for instance in theme
parks, where competing, co-located companies also collaborate. In
this paper, we address the temporal dynamics of interorganizational
relationships in Finnish and Italian theme parks (i.e. Lapland and
Riviera Romagnola). Our comparative study shows that cooperation
and coopetition among tourism businesses often shift from a
prevalently short-term basis to a long term one when public and
private stakeholders understand the benefits accruing to cooperation
in terms of enhancement of the brand image of the destination and
attraction of a higher number of visitors, by leveraging the
destination’s multifaceted assets
Inter-organizational relationships in time and space: coopetition in tourism destinations
No full textCoopetition, namely the co-presence of cooperation and competition is a new strategy that goes beyond the established business paradigms of competition and cooperation. This type of strategy is increasingly relevant in tourism destinations, for instance in tourism resorts and theme parks, where competing, co-located companies also collaborate. The purpose of our paper is to discuss interorganisational practices of spatially competing co-located actors and organizations. In particular, we address temporal, spatial and process dynamics through which cooperative and/or coopetitive arrangements are formed, maintained, discontinued or resumed. We have studied Italian and Finnish tourism destinations in the regions of Riviera Romagnola and Lapland. Our comparative study shows that cooperation and coopetition among tourism businesses often shift from a prevalently short-term basis to a long term one when public and private stakeholders understand the benefits accruing to cooperation in terms of enhancement of the brand image of the destination and attraction of a higher number of visitors, by leveraging the destination’s multifaceted assets. Last but not least, we contribute to the discussions of coopetition strategy and management studies, tourism management, and practice-theoretical approac

Cooperative and coopetitive practices: Cases from the tourism industry
No full textThe purpose of our study is to disentangle interorganizational practices of spatially competing co-located actors in tourism destinations. Hence, we aim to understnd the dynamics through which cooperative and coopetitive arrangements are formed and maintained. As we focus both on the processes and their institutional features, we base our approach on practice theory theough which we are set to make sense of organized human activities.The purpose of our study is to disentangle interorganizational practices of spatially competing co-located actors in tourism destinations.

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
