Resource integration management in networks' value creation. The case of high quality hotels
No full textCompetitive dynamics in tourism make a very strong case for company cooperation strategies for local development. Our analysis begins with a literature review on networking and quality management in tourism. We then propose an innovative theoretical framework, representing a decision-making support tool based on a critical framework connected with both resource-based theory and service dominant logic (SDL). By means of this model, we investigate regional tourist development logics based on the Product Club, towards an integrated hospitality excellence offering. The paper also describes our empirical research planning, which will be further developed
Atherosclerosis and Its Related Laboratory Biomarkers
Get PDFAtherosclerosis constitutes a persistent inflammatory ailment, serving as the predominant underlying condition for coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and cerebrovascular disease. The progressive buildup of plaques within the walls of medium- and large-caliber arteries characterizes the atherosclerotic process. This accumulation results in significant narrowing that impedes blood flow, leading to critical tissue oxygen deficiency. Spontaneous blockage of thrombotic vessels can precipitate stroke and myocardial infarction, which are complications representing the primary global causes of mortality. Present-day models for predicting cardiovascular risk incorporate conventional risk factors to gauge the likelihood of cardiovascular events over a ten-year span. In recent times, researchers have identified serum biomarkers associated with an elevated risk of atherosclerotic events. Many of these biomarkers, whether used individually or in combination, have been integrated into risk prediction models to assess whether their inclusion enhances predictive accuracy. In this review, we have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the most recently published literature concerning serum biomarkers associated with atherosclerosis. We have explored the potential utility of incorporating these markers in guiding clinical decisions
Imprese e reti per lo sviluppo imprenditoriale del territorio. Teoria e casi di destination management
No full textIl presente volume raccoglie i contributi al Workshop “Imprese e reti per lo sviluppo imprenditoriale del territorio: teoria e casi di Destination Management” tenutosi a Napoli il primo giugno del 2012. Alla raccolta i curatori hanno voluto premettere due saggi di contenuto teorico: l’uno concretizza un inquadramento istituzionale al tema, l’altro richiama uno dei più dibattuti driver di ricerca, quello del brand della destinazione. Ognuno dei lavori presentati al Workshop si offre quale elemento contributivo al più ampio dibattito che vede il turismo come momento trainante dello sviluppo socio-economico di un territorio, uno sviluppo che ormai non può non qualificarsi in termini di sostenibilità (antropologica, ambientale, ecc.). Tra i diversi apporti, taluni hanno prevalente rilievo definitorio, altri metodologico, altri presentano casi di best practice o spunti di miglioramento dei modelli di governance in atto presso specifiche destinazioni
