The thesis analyses the hospitality industry from a Transformative Service Research (TSR) perspective. In the first part, it focuses on the case of the Albergo Diffuso studying how it positively affects the individual and collective well-being of all actors involved. At the same time, negative effects deriving from the hotel’s activities are taken into account. The result is the Transformative Factors’ Framework, which describes the factors that have a transformative effect on the actors involved. In the second part, the case of the Green Hotel is taken into account and we study how the stay at the eco-hotel influences the sustainable habits of the guests. The result is a Transformative Travel Experience that highlights how staying at the hotel influences the sustainable habits of customers who change their behaviour depending on the length of their stay, once back to their routine. In the last part, we consider the case of Charities operating in hospitality. The goal is to study how these organisations activate a transformative process on the people they support from a Service Ecosystem perspective. The result is the Transformative Service Ecosystem, which describes how such people are socially rehabilitated with the consequent improvement of their psychophysical well-being.
La tesi analizza l’industria dell’ospitalità in ottica Trasformative Service Research (TSR). Nella prima parte si concentra sul caso dell’Albergo Diffuso studiando come esso influenzi positivamente il benessere individuale e collettivo di tutti gli attori coinvolti. Allo stesso tempo si tiene in conto di eventuali effetti negativi derivanti dalle attività dell’hotel. Il risultato è l’Enhancing Transformative Factors’ Framework dove si evidenziano i fattori che aiutano l’Albergo Diffuso ad avere un effetto trasformativo sugli attori coinvolti. Nella seconda parte della tesi si prende in considerazione il caso del Green Hotel e si studia come il soggiorno presso tale struttura eco-sostenibile influenzi le abitudini sostenibili degli ospiti. Il risultato è una Transformative Travel Experience che evidenzia come il soggiornare presso l’hotel influenzi a seconda della durata del soggiorno, le abitudini sostenibili dei clienti che muteranno i loro comportamenti tornati alla loro routine. Nell'ultima parte della tesi si considera il caso delle charities o enti di beneficenza operanti nel settore ospitalità. L’obiettivo è studiare come questi enti attivino un processo trasformativo in ottica Service Ecosystem sulle persone da loro supportate. Il risultato è il Transformative Service Ecosystem che descrive come tali persone vengono riabilitate socialmente con il conseguente miglioramento del loro benessere psico-fisico.

Abstract
The thesis analyses the hospitality industry from a Transformative Service Research (TSR) perspective. In the first part, it focuses on the case of the Albergo Diffuso studying how it positively affects the individual and collective well-being of all actors involved. At the same time, negative effects deriving from the hotel’s activities are taken into account. The result is the Transformative Factors’ Framework, which describes the factors that have a transformative effect on the actors involved. In the second part, the case of the Green Hotel is taken into account and we study how the stay at the eco-hotel influences the sustainable habits of the guests. The result is a Transformative Travel Experience that highlights how staying at the hotel influences the sustainable habits of customers who change their behaviour depending on the length of their stay, once back to their routine. In the last part, we consider the case of Charities operating in hospitality. The goal is to study how these organisations activate a transformative process on the people they support from a Service Ecosystem perspective. The result is the Transformative Service Ecosystem, which describes how such people are socially rehabilitated with the consequent improvement of their psychophysical well-being.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
