Resumo O presente trabalho objetiva analisar a internacionalização da legislação do trabalho e suas consequências na contemporaneidade, dentro de uma perspectiva sistêmica policontextural. Tal objetivo se justifica, na medida em que o fenômeno da globalização gera uma padronização mundial em diversos setores, alcançando uma influência sobre Direito, e, evidenciando o protagonismo de outros atores além do Estado, tal como ocorre com as Organizações Internacionais e as Empresas Transnacionais. O aprofundamento teórico do estudo baseou-se na pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando-se o método sistêmico, preconizado por Niklas Luhmann, que pretende descrever os sistemas (aberto e fechado) e sua relação com o ambiente. Percebeu-se que normatização internacional do trabalho da O.I.T, sofre influencia, para promover a efetivação dos valores que norteiam as relações de trabalho, especialmente, da busca por melhorias na condição social dos trabalhadores, e, de outro pela pressão exercida para a regulação dos interesses mercantis como a competitividade internacional das empresas.

This search following the Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (25,460 sq km) and a self-governing Region, located in the southernmost part of Italy, has at least four tourist-related airports, sited between the eastern and western coast, separated from each other by a vast territory without efficient transport links and suffering from many diverse environmental problems. Utilizing a desk search methodology based on GIS software, this paper discusses the impact upon the regional development of the tourist traffic of the Trapani Airport situated in the westernmost part of Sicily. Ultimately it analyzes the critical role of connectivity and accessibility in the development of the area and tourism, seeking a maximum involvement of stakeholders. The recent growth of low-cost carriers have had a definite impact on the economic growth of the entire territory, where those choices could determine the life or the death of firms and, inevitably, their annual incomes. Tourism and connectivity are strictly related, thus showing deficiencies of the area in terms of accessibility, as well as the trade-offs between the different government (central and local) investment policies and the specific benefits emerging from the airport in the regional mobility.

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated a global movement of open innovation initiatives aimed to provide knowledge and tools to support policy decisions and actions in the emergency scenario. The authors describe an open innovation process aimed to build an information coordination system to reduce the infection diffusion within the population.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use coordination theory principles to elaborate a framework of activities, resources and dependencies among information resources and producers in the COVID-19 emergency. The framework was applied to develop a case study aimed at describing a health emergency system implemented by Dyrecta Lab (a research laboratory on computer science) and CITEL (a medical research center).FindingsThe authors describe the existence of relevant "flow," "fit" and "share" dependencies within the activities of infection containment and medical treatment. The authors identify eight key resources and a number of actors involved in those activities, and describe a platform able to gather a multitude of epidemic-related metrics with the purpose to address dependencies and support decision making.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors provide insights for advancing the academic discussion on process coordination principles in time-constrained, volatile and highly demanding scenarios.Practical implicationsThe value of the authors' research can be identified for practitioners engaged to develop innovative development projects for public utility. The authors provide a contribution also for first responders and health operators involved in management of the current and future emergencies.Originality/valueThe adoption of process coordination principles is a relatively new and powerful approach to analyze and optimize the processes that characterize the management of emergency scenarios. Besides, the study and application of open innovation in healthcare are partially limited.
