Lo sviluppo turistico e la qualità dell'offerta dei servizi extralberghieri in Puglia. Case vacanze e B&B: il Caso Bari
No full textNell'ultimo decennio l’incremento dei flussi turistici in Puglia è stato affiancato dal grande sviluppo dell'ospitalità extralberghiera, chiamato anche "fenomeno Airbnb". In Italia ha avuto una forte crescita e in pochi anni è aumentato del 78,3% rispetto al 2016 (Federalberghi, 2018) con una distribuzione diversificata sul territorio nazionale. La Puglia, insieme a Lombardia, Lazio, Sicilia e Toscana, è una delle regioni in cui il fenomeno della "sharing hospitality" ed extra-hotel è più diffuso. Bari, città ai primi posti per presenze e arrivi in regione, ha visto un’evoluzione del fenomeno turistico locale grazie alla crescita passeggeri del locale aeroporto (con il fenomeno “low cost” e “short breaks”) e del porto
(per il moltiplicarsi di arrivi di croceristi). A tali risultati inoltre hanno concorso sia l’efficace promozione delle istituzioni locali anche attraverso i social, sia la coincidenza della domanda dei “nuovi turisti” con l’autentica offerta culturale ed enogastronomica del territorio. La tipologia di arrivi, un tempo quasi esclusivamente caratterizzati dal segmento business e MICE, si è così ampliata, mutando radicalmente.
Il presente lavoro, a partire dall’analisi della domanda e dell’offerta turistica nella città di Bari
(stagionalità, flussi turistici per tipologia ricettiva, aree di provenienza dei turisti, tassi di occupazione, servizi offerti, condizioni e tariffe relative ai servizi), intende evidenziare alcuni aspetti critici e strategici per l’offerta del settore. La ricerca che si avvale di dati quantitativi e qualitativi sulla destinazione Bari relativi alle strutture ricettive extralberghiere più “professionali” (case vacanze e bed& breakfast), consente di individuare le criticità collegate ai nodi tematici di management del “vacation rental industry”. Ciò al fine di concorrere all’obiettivo di qualificare l’offerta turistica in tutte le sue componenti e di costruire un sistema turistico locale capace di sviluppo duraturo a cui il capoluogo regionale intende ambire
Firm's strategyto innovate ina European transition economy
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to investigate Albanian registered trademarks to understand the characteristics of a successful trademark in a transition economy. In order to verify the research hypothesis on the characteristics of the trademarks (Crass, Czarnitzki, & Toole, 2019) as key indicator of success, we use linear regression on a dataset set based on taxonomy of the legal status of applications and the registration of the trademarks in Albania. Our empirical analyses are based on data from the DPPI (Drejtoria e Përgjithshme e Pronësisë Industriale), Albanian Central Intellectual Property Office, for the period 1994–2019. The findings show evidence of the choice of the trademark name as a critical success factor as well as the characteristics of the activities, as the trademarks used in different product contests or corporate trademark strategies (Antwi, Carvalho, & Carmo, 2021). These results could be relevant both to firms implementing branding strategies and to analysts or policymakers analysing markets in transition economies
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
Networking Entrepreneruship in High Quality Agri-Food: The Case of Olive Oil Production in Apulia
No full textNetworking entrepreneurs stimulate the growth of the group through the reinforcement of the relations among the firms involved. The opportunity to work in clusters is particularly necessary for SMEs, which always have a low power, especially for those who work in a low technological sector.
Italy is characterized by a massive presence of small and medium enterprises, organized in districts or networks. Despite the economic crisis, some of these groups are able to survive and score positive performances both locally and abroad.
In this work we investigate the olive-oil biological sector, which is able to tow the Apulian economy based on its vocation. This sector shows a trend in network formation. Moreover, from an entrepreneurial point of view, such a strategy brings advantages both for the single unit and the group. This study aims at investigating the effect of the network on firm performances, considering the identity of the network and its social interactions. We believe that the entrepreneur advantages in supporting network necessity are relevant factors for a network identity. The common factors are the entrepreneurial culture and social contacts of the team
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
