THE EXTRAORDINARY JUBILEE OF MERCY: A MODEL OF SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT

Large-scale events, which are characterized by a dynamic complexity involving different national public administrations and institutional levels, require a special attention in selecting an adequate event management systems. For this reason, after a detailed literature review on network management, this paper aims to define the basics of a theoretical framework useful to understand collaboration among several actors, considering that participative approaches should help achieve outcomes in a more effective way. Furthermore, this paper explores the concept of sustainable development and focuses on the traditional elements of social, environmental and economic pillars within context of planned events. Given the objective of this work, the analysis of a best practice event will be useful to identify the main variables, in terms of sustainable strategic planning, execution and control, required to achieve the greatest level of efficiency in terms of cost optimisation and quality of service delivery, also exhorting the Italian public sector to look for a structural renewal, to better use its available resources, as well as to foster a global sustainable growth.
