Municipalities possess a wide range of real estate. However, land, buildings, and premises must not only be managed individually, but also optimized and strategically developed as a comprehensive ...portfolio linked to the objectives of public administration activities and, of course, to the development plans of a particular municipality. Nevertheless, a comprehensive view of the issue of managing and building a real estate portfolio in public administration is missing. This is evidenced by the lack of a methodology that would help local authorities with the task. Thus, a quantitative analysis of scientific publications was conducted, dealing with the issue of strategic management of real estate portfolios at the city level, both within the Czech Republic and throughout the world. This article aims to present a qualitative search of the content of scientific publications, thereby contributing to the creation of a foundation for further systematic research into this issue.
The International Journal of Strategic Property Management (IJSPM) is an interdisciplinary journal which provides a forum for a broad range of strategic property management research. The topics such ...as asset and facilities management, property policy, risk management, residential property value enhancement, and housing finance are included in the scope of the IJSPM’s investigation. The aim of this study is to provide a bibliometric analysis of the papers published by the IJSPM which is collected in the well-known Social Science Citation Index database and analyse the current status and the emerging trends of the research outputs in the IJSPM with some broadly utilized as well as diversely designed indicators. By analysing the annual publication distribution, the citation structure, the co-citation and cooperation networks, and the influential contributors on the aspects of specific countries/regions, institutions, cited journals, and authors, the status quo of the IJSPM publications is presented. Also, the emerging trends are explored through the analyses of timeline view and burst detection. We make the contributions in terms of visualizing the complex and significant results based on the objective and quantitative data. This paper assists researchers with an understanding of the development of the IJSPM, which gives useful information for further researches and submitting works.

The Thistle Property Trust (TPT) was established in Stirling in 1928. They aimed to restore historic and traditional buildings which had become dilapidated slum housing in Stirling’s Top of the Town ...area. One of the first building conservation trusts, the TPT improved the living conditions of the city’s poor whilst conserving Stirling’s historic built environment. They were a forward-thinking organisation, employing and training women property managers, inspired by the work of Octavia Hill (1838-1912). The legacy of the TPT lives on in Scotland’s contemporary City Heritage Trusts.

Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm, we examine the effect of technological competition over a patent on the firm's choice of patenting strategy. We claim that technological competition ...makes the traditional strategy of protecting focal innovations from imitation less likely and increases the likelihood of a play strategy — i.e. using patents to avoid the risk of hold-up by other patent owners, or as a bargaining chip in litigation and cross-licensing. However, we claim also that technological competition over a target close to the firm's core technology should lead to use of a fence strategy i.e. to blocking the commercial endeavors of rivals and preempting substitute inventions. We find support for our hypotheses using data from a large-scale survey of European patent applications.
•Firms can rely on various mechanisms to extract value from intellectual property.•Firms patent to exclude rivals and to reduce the risk of being blocked by others.•Technological competition affects the reasons for patenting and patent use.•Technological competition reduces the value of the commercialization of innovation.•Competition for a core technology spurs a ‘closed’ approach to patent strategy.
