University chemical laboratories, contrary to common perception, are dangerous working environments. Unlike industry, where most processes are standardized, in academia, they are modified so frequently that in-depth and detailed risk assessment becomes unfeasible. A major challenge in conducting a reliable evaluation is the absence of statistical data, as there is a lack of reporting and a high diversity of the processes. Strong human involvement in all activities requires consideration of human factors in the risk assessment. A semiquantitative method that combines both easily accessible quantitative information and encoded qualitative data is the way to overcome these challenges. This work proposes a novel approach of semi-detailed risk analysis. The main advantage of this method is its applicability to a fast-changing environment with a strong presence of human factors and absence of statistical information.

Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation in the Film Industry: The Case of Movieday.it

Gianluigi Viscusi

Digital technologies are enabling the transformation of the established market boundaries and business models of the cinema industry, bringing opportunities for a reconfiguration of the conceptual framework of movie content distribution through movie theatres, as well as of the concept of the movie theatre as traditional projection space and as institutional site. This requires to sector organizations to negotiate new agreements related to theatrical distribution and to explore alternative ways of operating. The purpose of this chapter is to investigate existing opportunities of transformation for the theatrical distribution value chain in an era in which the Internet and social media change the conventional cycle of production, distribution and consumption, re-defining the function of intermediaries, gatekeepers and experts. The chapter analyses the case of Movieday.it, a platform designed to bridge the gap between content and theatrical distribution through audience engagement, with the aim to balance supply and demand.
