Charging Behaviors in Urban Centers: The Need for an Integrated EV Energy Ecosystem
Despite recent years of turbulence – driven by competition from Chinese manufacturers and the political exploits of its founder – Tesla will always mark a turning point in mobility history. The company, in fact, introduced two systemic innovations: first, autonomous driving, which will revolutionize how we move across short, medium, and long distances; second, an integrated ecosystem of electric ...
Insights From a Cross-Cultural Study: Adoption of Electric Vehicle Rentals in Tourism
The car rental industry is moving to the forefront of contemporary mobility systems, steadily expanding over the past decade. As part of a “shared real economy,” this industry helps consumers share vehicles instead of owning them, which in turn reduces the total number of cars on the road and achieves efficient use of social resources. Beyond its traditional role in corporate and leisure travel, ...
The Glass Half Full of Italian Innovation
One of the key recommendations highlighted in the Report on the Future of European Competitiveness (Draghi, 2024) stresses the need to “bridge the innovation gap,” particularly with respect to the United States. The report notes that “in Europe, innovative digital firms are unable to scale or attract financing, resulting in a significant gap in later-stage investment between the EU and the United ...
The Drivers of Change in Urban Mobility
Urban mobility is increasingly inefficient, environmentally burdensome, and constrained by private car dependence. Drawing on mobiUS Lab research, this Focus examines emerging zero-emission, shared, and rental solutions, highlighting a shift toward pragmatic “polymobility.” These trends create significant business opportunities while posing strategic and policy challenges for sustainable urban ...
Creating Value in Global Knowledge Networks. Trust as a Strategic Lever for Collaboration
Introduction Imagine a meeting of fiercely competing Finnish telecom operators, major TV channels, a terminal manufacturer, information and communication technology (ICT) integrators and public-sector officials. They were all sitting together around a table, all deeply engaged in an open discussion about the potential of a new business opportunity. They collaborated intensively to co-create a systemic ...
An Analysis of Stakeholder Engagement. Communicating Sustainability Through Account-Based Marketing
Introduction Communicating sustainability projects and initiatives to stakeholders has become a key item on every company’s agenda (Reilly, 2009; Allen, 2016). This aspect of sustainability is essential for promoting transparency and trust among partners, intensifying collaboration, improving brand reputation, increasing the possibility of receiving constructive feedback, and attracting external ...
How to Tackle the Platform Paradox in Subscription Models
The allure of the subscription platform model is its promise of aggregating fragmented services (fitness studios, restaurants, movie theaters and the like) into a single, convenient offering for the consumer. However, the path to profitability is fraught with a fundamental economic challenge that, if misunderstood, leads to ruin. Here we deconstruct the underlying economic principles that govern these ...
States, Governments, and Banks Between Stability and Competition: A Balance in Transition
States, governments, and banks have always had close relationships, relatively speaking. While maintaining some degree of continuity, these relationships have gradually changed as banking has evolved. The latter now represents a unique area of the economy whose importance is not limited to the financial domain, but also extends to the social dimension and to public interest (Ruozi 2008; Ruozi, 2024). ...
Banking union and fiscal backstops
The banking union is an epochal institutional change, comparable in many respects to the introduction of the euro in 1999. Besides the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), the banking union comprises a Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) with its Single Resolution Fund (SRF), and a harmonized system of deposit insurance schemes. The new institutional architecture is certainly an important step forward ...
Fantastical thinking, transportation and persuasion in advertising
Nowadays using advertising narratives is becoming a priority for companies that want to capture customers’ attention (Hogan 2003). Narrative advertising (i.e. story-like format advertisements which contain rich details thematically and temporally related (Adaval, Wyer 1998; Wells 1989) are able to engage individuals (Hirschman 2010). This is the case of the new Dior campaign (2011) crafted ...
