Team dynamics and technology impact on creative and cultural industries
No full textThe creative economy has become a powerful transformative driving force in the world. Its potential for development is vast and waiting to be totally unlocked. It represents one of the most rapidly growing sectors of the world economy, not just in terms of income generation but also for job creation and export earnings. For these reasons, an increasing interest on the contexts of creative and cultural industries has emerged in the last years and, since human creativity and innovation, at both the individual level and group level, are the key drivers of these industries, they have attracted the attention of numerous researchers who started investigating these phenomena.
Therefore, the aim of this dissertation is to contribute to this stream of research by investigating two sectors belonging to the CCI: music and visual arts. Specifically, the first part of this thesis will be focused on the analysis of the music industry and the effects that diverse teams might have on the performances achieved. I will discuss how characteristics of the group can serve to either enhance or constrain engagement in creative processes, the development of creative outcomes, and ultimately project performance. The second part of this dissertation will instead shift the attention to cultural industries, specifically visual arts, to investigate the controversial effects that technology might have on the dynamics of this sector. Indeed, since technological innovations and digitization have hit old and new economic sectors pervasively, it is important to investigate the attitude to change of the people already in the sector to understand if they will resist the change or operate in favour of it. As a matter of fact, these individuals can consider technology as a chance to reshape and empower their role or, on the contrary, they might not be able to redefine their role in the new technology-driven competitive scenario, and they may feel threatened of being replaced by technological innovation.The creative economy has become a powerful transformative driving force in the world.

Strategies of disarmament: civil society and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty
No full textThis thesis explores the ideological bases of the global governance of nuclear
weapons by analysing the role of civil society, an actor generally left aside by
nuclear scholarship. Here the question of nuclear order is tackled with an
unconventional approach that combines critical works in nuclear studies,
critical constructivist works on security, and Antonio Gramsci’s theory of
civil society. Such approach brings civil society to the forefront of analytical
attention in order to show the cultural domination exercised by the bomb by
inquiring into the common sense nature of nuclear discourse. This rests on
the assumption that uncritically accepted ideas about what nuclear weapons
do have been instrumental in generating the current nuclear order that,
although under mounting challenges, remains based on a hierarchy between
states protected by the bomb and all the rest.
To understand how civil society challenges and reproduces that order, this
thesis analyses the calls for nuclear disarmament advanced by organised
collective actors and inquires, in a Gramscian way, into the common sense
ingrained in those calls as well as their ability to constitute a united front. As
a result, the thesis problematises the notion of disarmament, marking the
importance of a struggle on its very concept between reductionist and
abolitionist frames. It indicates that while the latter are involved in a radical
opposition, the former are culturally dominated by the system of deterrence,
thus coming to represent two distinct historic blocs: a counter-hegemonic
opposition, on one hand, and an unwitting part of the hegemonic apparatus,
on the other. This thesis concludes that 1) civil society is far from having
created a unity of intent; and 2) the bases for the reliance on nuclear weapons
are deeply entrenched, because of the pervasiveness, even inside civil
society, of a common sense view of the nuclear threat.This thesis explores the ideological bases of the global governance of nuclear

Fiscal policy coordination and government debt deleveraging in the EMU
No full textIn Chapter 1 I explain my motivation for the topic and review some literature on Fiscal Policy Coordination
in Currency Unions, in particular in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
The EMU is a perfect case study for this key issue, which has been covered more and more by the recent
literature. Fiscal Policy Coordination was initially discussed by the seminal article of Mundell (1961),
where one of the successful criteria of an Optimum Currency Area (OCA) was shown to be a risk-sharing
system like fiscal transfers that redistribute money to areas adversely affected by shocks. This motivates
the creation of a Fiscal Union inside a Currency Union like the EMU, and can be seen as an extreme
case of Fiscal Policy Coordination. I also suggest some questions and avenues of research, which guide
my work.
In Chapter 2 we build a Two-Country Open-Economy New-Keynesian DSGE model of a Currency
Union to study the effects of fiscal policy coordination, by evaluating the stabilization properties of different
degrees of fiscal policy coordination, in a setting where the union-wide monetary policy affects fiscal
policies and viceversa, because of price rigidities and distortionary taxation. We calibrate the model to
represent two groups of countries in the European Economic and Monetary Union and run numerical
simulations of the model under a range of alternative shocks and under alternative scenarios for fiscal
policy. We also compare welfare under the different scenarios, bringing to policy conclusions for the
proper macroeconomic management of a Currency Union. We find that: a) coordinating fiscal policy, by
targeting net exports rather than output, produces more stable dynamics, b) consolidating government
budget constraints across countries and moving tax rates jointly provides greater stabilization, c) taxes
on labour income are exponentially more distortionary than taxes on firm sales. Our policy prescriptions
for the Eurozone are then to use fiscal policy to reduce international demand imbalances, either by
stabilizing trade ows across countries or by creating some form of fiscal union or both, while avoiding
the excessive use of labour taxes, in favour of sales taxes.
In Chapter 3 we build a Two-Country Open-Economy New-Keynesian DSGE model of a Currency
Union with a debt-elastic government bond spread in an incomplete market setting, to study the effects
of government debt deleveraging, by evaluating the stabilization properties of different deleveraging rules,
in a setting where the union-wide monetary policy affects fiscal policies and viceversa, because of price
rigidities and distortionary taxation. We calibrate the model to represent two groups of countries in the
European Monetary Union and run numerical simulations under a range of alternative shocks and under
alternative scenarios for government debt deleveraging. We also compare welfare under the different
scenarios, bringing to policy conclusions for the proper government debt management in a Currency
Union. We find that: a) backloading deleveraging or reducing its speed provides more stabilization to
the economy, b) taxes are the instrument for deleveraging which stabilizes the economy the most, c)
coordinating fiscal policy by targeting the net exports gap, instead of the output gap, increases volatility
with incomplete markets, d) the joint movements of the fiscal instruments increases volatility with
incomplete markets, although consolidating budget constraints might otherwise smooth distortions. Our
policy prescriptions for the Eurozone are then to reduce the speed of deleveraging and to use taxes to
achieve it, while reducing domestic demand imbalances and avoiding to form a fiscal union like the one
we describe. Once financial markets are completely integrated though, these results are overturned.In Chapter 1 I explain my motivation for the topic and review some literature on Fiscal Policy Coordination

Norme internazionali sulla corruzione e responsabilità d'impresa: aspetti sostanziali e processuali
No full textThis work relates to the criminal responsibility and international corruption in own substantive and procedural profiles.
The survey begins with the delineation of the relevant regulatory framework, examining especially the Leg. decree June 8, 2001, n. 231.
The examination, doctrinal and jurisprudential, of this legislative text will focus on what is most important in the evaluation of the concrete company criminal responsibility, that is the objective and subjective criteria debit and organizational models.
In Chapter II, attention will be paid to an important profile, consistent in an analysis of company criminal proceedings.
This argument constitutes, for relevance and amplitude, an issue which can’t be synthesized in a few tens of pages.
That is why the above comments will aim to highlight the most interesting and the most debated questions of law of latest years.
They are the quaestiones relating to legal representation or to the various cases of incompatibility, including those concerning incompatibilities of defendant representative of the presupposed offense and the incompatibility with the position of witness.
In Chapter III, however, always taking as a benchmark the case of international corruption, we will analyze the legislation on precautionary measures.
They will be evaluated in reference to multiple profiles, such as, for example, the application requirements, the application procedure and the role of the adversarial principle.
Finally, the last chapter will examines another question subject of a lively debate in law, the action of liability against defendant institution.
These reflections in the course of work will be referred to the case of corruption, long regarded as a purely national phenomenon.
Today, however, it had ripened, in the context of international relations, awareness of how the corruption of public officials in international business transactions represents, in any case, not only a form of unfair competition, but also an obstacle to economic competitiveness as well to negatively affect business efficiency and on the financial development of a country.
This awareness has favored a gradual process of evolution began in the year 1977 with the adoption law US law, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
In essence, the aforementioned Act provides for the exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction by the US courts, in case of commission of a fact integral extremes of "international corruption", regardless of any proceedings initiated against the beneficiaries of corruption on the part of their national state.
By the time it has been felt the need to regulate the phenomenon of corruption in a way also specifies under international agreements, through the conclusion of major multilateral conventions, like as the OECD Convention on combating bribery of foreign public officials in international business transactions, signed in 1977, which marked, in the internationalist, the end of an era, characterized by a non-run always transparent economic operations or again, the Convention on the fight against corruption involving officials of the European Communities or officials of the EU member states, signed in 1997, or to the latest United Nations Convention against Corruption, signed in 2003.This work relates to the criminal responsibility and international corruption in own substantive and procedural profiles.

Labor law, economics and regulation: Italy and Spain: comparing models in the European framework
No full textThe work here presented wishes to propose a critical and reasoned
reflection about the relationship between labor law and economics in a
continuously changing international scenario.
The theme can certainly be inserted among the “classic” ones,
because it faces one of the most fascinating issues labor law – as a
subject – places when it projects itself outside its natural conceptual
perimeter.
The research object is in fact based on a critical reflection around
the vexata quaestio of the relationship between the juridical-labor law
sphere and the economic dimension of reference.
More in detail, in this general framework, we carry out a research
which thrusts down its roots in an organic analysis of the theoretical
positions of law and labor economics, in order to develop a synergic
argument which can possibly be advantageous in both research ambits.
With the present work, we wish therefore to test the holding of
the relationship between the two spheres of knowledge considered, also
in the perspective of the elaboration of hermeneutic contributions useful
for a possible re-conceptualization of labor law, partially imposed by the
morphological change of the socio-economic contexts of reference.
Following a logical sequence, the present work is structured in
five conceptually autonomous chapters, which however permeate each
other and are conceived in a indissoluble unitary dimension in order to
guarantee systematic coherence to the research.
In detail, moving from a careful reflection about the “crisis” of
labor law considered by itself and in its interaction with economics,
attention is placed on the intrinsically conflictual and dualistic nature of
the subject, in its being a projection of the pair “capital/work”.
After some unavoidable methodological considerations, useful for
an analytical-conceptual reflection, we then highlight the elements of
interest deriving from the comparison between and the balancing of
economic and social rationality, economic factuality and juridical
“evaluation”.
From a methodological point of view, the logical and scientific
assumption of the research is the firm conviction that only through a
systemic approach, characterized by a strong comparative and
multidisciplinary framework, it is possible to carefully analyze the
current structure and configuration of the relationship between labor
law and economics in order to outline in particular the boundaries of
future perspectives of development.
A clear reconstruction of a suitable method to rationalize the
dialectic process between cognitive openness and juridical reconceptualization
is indeed inescapable.
The use of the comparison – contextualized and teleologically
addressed to give the work an appreciable hermeneutic contribution – is
thus considered the privileged, functional research method.
The labor law systems compared – as shown in the body of the
present work – are those of Italy and Spain, because of the proximity of
the regulatory paths explored from time to time and of the convergence
resulting also from recent reforms.
Hence, looking at the paradigmatic institutes of the impact of the
economic sphere on juridical regulations, the concrete relationship
between economics and labor law is in particular considered with
specific reference to the worker’s tasks (and demotion/deskilling), also as
a consequence of the recent legislative reforms, which have been
introduced in the two legal systems object of comparison.
In addition, special consideration is reserved to the concept of
“flexibility”, to the specular notion of “security”, and to the boundaries of the concept of “flexicurity”, in the scenario of a European labor law
undergoing a deep change in the search of a possible new balance.
Exactly the search of a new adjustment between the different
interests involved in present-day labor law relationships finds in an
axiological framework of values the natural landing of the research path
here briefly presented.
In the conclusions of the present work, we propose some targeted
reflections about the urgent need to “return” to the principles and the
values which have represented the essence of the subject, yesterday as
today.
Labor regulation, in relation to economic efficiency and to the
requests of deregulation coming from the market, cannot leave aside the
rediscovery of the table of values of reference and the balancing of the
different interests involved.The work here presented wishes to propose a critical and reasoned

Understanding the relevance of knowledge flows: how to realize the benefits of knowledge transfer processes
No full textManaging and exploiting knowledge flows is an imperative for all firms. Scholars, practitioners, and analysts agree on the importance of production, diffusion, and use of knowledge as the most relevant drivers of the world economy. Being knowledge tacit or explicit, organizations need to recognize it as a valuable resource and tap into the collective intelligence and skills of employees in order to create a greater organizational knowledge base and remain competitive in the global marketplace. Consistently, investigating knowledge, how this may be accumulated and then used as well as its consequences for individual and organizational performance is still a hot topic in several fields of research.
Starting from this premise, this dissertation proposes four studies on different yet interrelated knowledge-related topics. They are categorized into three research areas: cognition in knowledge-based processes, knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer, and knowledge utilization. Cognition in knowledge-based processes is addresses by Chapter 3, which links boundary spanning literature with top management teams’ members interacting with both internal and external networks. The second research area (i.e., knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer) has led to the development of Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 which respectively investigate the organizational antecedents to employees’ knowledge sharing behaviors and vicarious learning among companies engaging in licensing agreements. Knowledge utilization is examined in Chapter 6, whose purpose is to explore the effect of individual creativity and job design dimensions on employees’ orientation toward using the already available knowledge. See Table 1 here below for an outline of the thesis.Managing and exploiting knowledge flows is an imperative for all firms.
