Il presente lavoro di ricerca si focalizza sull'analisi empirica di alcune destinazioni al fine di comprendere le modalità con cui è avvenuta la costruzione della «brand identity». A tal proposito, sono confrontate le esperienze di New York e Sydney nell'àmbito del destination branding. In particolare, la prima destinazione è il classico esempio di «city branding» mentre la seconda, proprio per emulare il successo di New York, ha istituito la Greater Sydney Partnership per la gestione del progetto «Brand Sydney». L'analisi segue un approccio sistemico e, in modo particolare, il filone della «Resource-based Theory». Inoltre, il confronto tra questi «case study» avviene ad un doppio livello. Infatti, l'analisi delle strategie di promozione delle destinazioni distingue le politiche di marketing volte ad attirare il potenziale turista (livello indotto) da quelle attuate nella fase di erogazione del servizio (livello organico), che devono favorire i processi di «customer loyalty» (Della Corte, 2009). Infine, a tale analisi è affiancata l'identificazione della «Destination Management Organization» (DMO) e del ruolo che essa ricopre nella costruzione della «brand identity». A tal proposito, la struttura del lavoro di ricerca risulta essere la seguente: in primo luogo, un focus sulla letteratura del brand management permette di comprendere il recente interesse verso questo specifico tema; in secondo luogo, l'approfondimento dei casi studio offre la possibilità di stabilire in che modo avviene la promozione del territorio sia a livello indotto che a livello organico.

Purpose
By considering the challenges of Industry 5.0, the purpose of this study is to analyze the role of heuristic factors in the technical qualities and emotions of Millennials and Generation Z (Gen Z) to assess their acceptance of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) devices such as robots. For this purpose, this paper uses the innovative AI device use acceptance (AIDUA) framework. This research evaluates the implications of human–machine interactions for the usage of robots and AI in daily life.


Design/methodology/approach
The proposed AIDUA model is tested using data collected from Millennials and Gen Z. First, a principal components analysis technique is used to validate each measure. Second, a multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS 26.0 is conducted.


Findings
The results of this study suggest that human–machine interaction is a part of a complex process in which there are different elements determining individuals' acceptance of the use of AI devices during daily life. This paper outlines both the theoretical and practical implications. This study enriches the AIDUA model by connoting it with features and emotions belonging to the younger generation. Additionally, this research offers technology companies suggestions for addressing future efforts on technical performance and on the alignments of the expectations of young people in Society 5.0.


Originality/value
First, the originality of this paper lies in highlighting the binary role of emotions in triggering the use of AI devices and robots. Second, the focus on Millennials and Gen Z offers a new lens for the interpretation of longitudinal phenomena in the adoption of AI. Finally, the findings of this paper contribute to the development of a new perspective regarding a "heartly collaborative" approach in Society 5.0.
