Turismo, centri storici e contesti metropolitani
No full textIl saggio fa parte del quarto Rapporto annuale di Urban@it - Centro nazionale di studi per le politiche urbane, e riassume quelli che sono i principali aspetti legati al tema turismo nei centri storici, sia in termini di evoluzione economica, che di opportunità e minacce rispetto alla conservazione e valorizzazione del patrimonio paesaggistico e storico-architettonico, offrendo alcuni orientemanti per lo sviluppo di politche tese ad equilibrare la relazione fra spazio turistico e spazio di vista dei residenti. I contributi dei co-autori, Patrizia Battilani, Valentina Orioli, Giovanna Iacovone (università della Basilicata), Massimo Morisi e Annick Magnier (Università di Firenze) sono ben riconoscibili, come specificato nella nota editoriale a corredo del volume. Il saggio è stato costruito anche grazie al contributo offerto da background paper forniti da altri studiosi aderenti ad Urban@it e pubblicati sul sito del Centro all'indirizzo https://www.urbanit.it/rivista-online

Abstract
Purpose – This study aims to identify and compare the knowledge and information retrieval needs from past projects and for future work among Italian and Japanese engineers. Engineering work, which is knowledge-intensive, is all the more critical as it both uses and generates knowledge for product and process innovation. Design/methodology/approach – This research uses data collected from engineers in Italy and Japan from an online survey using open-ended questions in their native language. Answers were then translated into English and coded into pre-determined categories; statistical analyses including factor analysis were conducted. Findings – For knowledge to be retrieved from past work, both Italian and Japanese engineers identified mainly experiential and systemic knowledge assets. For knowledge to be captured for future work, both groups picked experiential as well as conceptual knowledge related to the competitive environment of the firm absent from knowledge needs from past work. Finally, this research uncovered almost twice as fewer meta-categories for knowledge needs to be captured for future work compared to knowledge to be retrieved from past projects, as the former are by nature speculative and, therefore, difficult to foresee. Research limitations/implications – The study is limited to the engineering domain and to two countries. Further research should extend the scope beyond these two countries. Practical implications – The study identified information and knowledge needs that could help inform the design of procedures to capture and document engineering work and the development of supporting information systems. Originality/value – This research contributes to an increased understanding of the substance of information and knowledge needs in a knowledge-intensive environment such as engineering work and product/service development
Product Life Cycles and Innovation in the US Seed Corn Industry
No full textThe purpose of this study is to evaluate potential changes in the length of product life cycles in the US seed corn industry. We use the observed survival time on the market for hybrids sold during 1997-2009 to conduct a survival analysis. Our empirical results show that the expected lifetimes for corn hybrids with single biotech traits are 5-15% longer than for hybrids with multiple (stacked) traits, and the expected lifetimes for conventional corn are 13-17% longer than stacked hybrids. Also, the product life cycles for all types of hybrids have decreased over the past twelve years (especially after 2004), but the rate of decline is roughly similar across hybrid types. Based on this evidence, we conclude that the shorter product life cycles are closely linked to the accelerated levels of biotech product innovation in the US seed corn industry over the period of analysis.accelerated failure time, biotechnology, product life cycle, survival analysis, Productivity Analysis, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies, Research Methods/ Statistical Methods, Risk and Uncertainty,
