This thesis examines the strategic and organizational management of events through a comparative analysis of two real cases: Trieste Next and Le 100 migliori imprese di Sacile. The aim is to understand how structural differences, coordination models and motivational policies influence the overall performance and operational effectiveness of events. Based on direct experience of participation and organizational involvement in both contexts, the study describes the operational methods adopted, the governance systems and the decision-making processes, highlighting the divergences between the two events in terms of size, stakeholders involved and organizational complexity. A crucial point is devoted to staff motivation and its management throughout the event cycle, with reference to theoretical models such as the needs theory, motivator–hygiene factors and the expectancy theory. In support of the analysis, classic theories of organizational structure are also recalled, which are useful to interpret and compare the different management frameworks and coordination mechanisms adopted in the two case studies. A further focus is placed on the skills required of the personnel involved, distinguishing between hard and soft skills, which prove decisive in ensuring the quality of the experience and the success of the event. Finally, the thesis explores the topic of leadership and the most appropriate leadership styles for managing heterogeneous teams, emphasizing how a collaborative approach can enhance engagement, intrinsic motivation and group cohesion, key factors in making cultural and business events more sustainable.
Il presente elaborato affronta la gestione strategica e organizzativa di eventi attraverso l’analisi comparata di due casi reali: Trieste Next e Le 100 migliori imprese di Sacile. L’obiettivo è comprendere come le differenze strutturali, i modelli di coordinamento e le politiche motivazionali influenzino la performance complessiva e l’efficacia operativa degli eventi. Basandomi su un’esperienza diretta di partecipazione e organizzazione nei due contesti, descrivo le modalità operative impiegate, il sistema di governance e i processi decisionali, mettendo in luce le divergenze tra le manifestazioni per dimensione, stakeholder coinvolti e complessità organizzativa. L’analisi pone attenzione alla motivazione del personale, alla sua gestione nel ciclo evento, facendo riferimento a modelli teorici (come teoria dei bisogni, motivatori/igienici, teoria delle aspettative). A supporto, vengono richiamate alcune teorie classiche sulla struttura organizzativa, utili a interpretare e confrontare i diversi assetti gestionali e i meccanismi di coordinamento adottati nei due casi studio. Un ulteriore focus è dedicato alle competenze richieste al personale coinvolto, distinguendo tra hard skills e soft skills, che risultano decisive per garantire la qualità dell’esperienza e il successo dell’evento. Si approfondisce infine il tema della leadership e degli stili di conduzione più adeguati nella gestione di team eterogenei, mettendo in rilievo come un orientamento collaborativo contribuisca ad accrescere il coinvolgimento, la motivazione interna e la coesione del gruppo, fattori fondamentali per rendere gli eventi culturali e imprenditoriali più sostenibili.

Abstract
This thesis examines the strategic and organizational management of events through a comparative analysis of two real cases: Trieste Next and Le 100 migliori imprese di Sacile. The aim is to understand how structural differences, coordination models and motivational policies influence the overall performance and operational effectiveness of events. Based on direct experience of participation and organizational involvement in both contexts, the study describes the operational methods adopted, the governance systems and the decision-making processes, highlighting the divergences between the two events in terms of size, stakeholders involved and organizational complexity. A crucial point is devoted to staff motivation and its management throughout the event cycle, with reference to theoretical models such as the needs theory, motivator–hygiene factors and the expectancy theory. In support of the analysis, classic theories of organizational structure are also recalled, which are useful to interpret and compare the different management frameworks and coordination mechanisms adopted in the two case studies. A further focus is placed on the skills required of the personnel involved, distinguishing between hard and soft skills, which prove decisive in ensuring the quality of the experience and the success of the event. Finally, the thesis explores the topic of leadership and the most appropriate leadership styles for managing heterogeneous teams, emphasizing how a collaborative approach can enhance engagement, intrinsic motivation and group cohesion, key factors in making cultural and business events more sustainable.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
