Rilevazione tecnica della crisi d'impresa: strumenti a disposizione e loro limiti
No full textNella prospettiva economico-aziendale, la crisi d'impresa si manifesta quando, nella realtà aziendale, vengono meno una o più condizioni di equilibrio (strategico, reddituale, finanziario e/o patrimoniale). L'utilizzo di opportuni indicatori di bilancio può contribuire a segnalare tempestivamente l'insorgenza di una situazione di crisi. Peraltro, posto che situazioni di squilibrio/equilibrio sono connaturate alla realtà stessa dell'impresa e si susseguono dinamicamente nel tempo, la diagnosi e la prognosi di una crisi aziendale difficilmente possono essere descritte mediante un uso meccanico e standardizzato degli indicatori. Il processo di rilevazione tecnica della crisi richiede, oltre all'esame in chiave dinamica, anticipatoria e prospettica degli indicatori, un approfondimento delle cause che concorrono a generare le condizioni di squilibrio e una valutazione dei punti di forza e di debolezza strategici e operativi dell'impresa. È sviluppando l'analisi in questa prospettiva che possono meglio e tempestivamente identificarsi gli interventi idonei a porre rimedio alla crisi d'impresa
Socioemotional wealth and innovativeness in Italian family firms: what happens when the leader is a latest-generation member?
No full textIn this study, we attempt a further step in understanding the effect of different socioemotional (SEW) dimensions on family firm innovativeness by focusing on a particular player, i.e. the young leader who belongs to the last generation of family managers and who is increasingly engaged in the firm management. After surveying young leaders noneconomic goals with respect to those of senior members in a sample of Italian family firms, such goals are analysed in relation to the level of firm innovativeness. Obtained through a hierarchical regression, results show that two SEW dimensions above all characterize young leaders when they foster innovation: a low emotional attachment on one hand, a high attention to nurture binding social ties on the other
Trading off between control and autonomy: a narrative review around de-design
No full textIn this work, we provide an overview of contemporary perspectives of design that may challenge the traditional design of IT and socio-technical systems. Our starting metaphor is that of 'wicked problems', where the singularity, incompleteness and intrinsic uncertainty of real world settings foregrounds how the worldview that designers offer to practitioners may be optimal in theory but useless in practice. To go beyond traditional notions of design and designer, we intercepted insights coming from minoritarian voices in both theoretic and practice-based design fields. 'De-design' is a term we coined to encompass this wide spectrum of approaches that make more resilient and sustainable information artifact, de-emphasize design as a theoretical construct, and reconsider practice as the leading principle of digital innovation. This paper is a narrative review of voices in an extensive array of fields: from Information Systems to Human-Computer Interaction, from End-User Development to Critical Design, from Software Design to Design Studies. Our contribution retraces the motivational roots of de-design and tries to characterise de-design by filling relational gaps between disparate approaches and by bringing them back to IT and socio-technical design, to make digital artifacts sustainable in all of the new environmental, organisational and cultural spaces near to come
Il coinvolgimento dell'industria di marca nelle tecnologie digitali in-store
No full textNew technologies are reshaping the retail industry and have become a significant driver of customer value creation and retail profitability. In the academic literature, these technologies have been generally studied either from the retailer's perspective or from the consumer's perspective, but to our knowledge never from the manufacturer's perspective. However, manufacturers are heavily involved in how their products and brands are stocked, displayed and sold by retailers, and invest significant resources in visual merchandising activities. It follows that manufacturers who sell through retail stores can take a significant stake in the development and implementation of new technologies to enhance their customers' experience and to increase the effectiveness of their brand's visual merchandising. An empirical research on a sample of 145 manufacturers of the grocery industry in Italy shows that: a) visual merchandising activities are oriented mainly to improve retail in-store efficiency, i.e. to optimize space management; b) there are four segments of manufacturers who assign different priorities to visual merchandising; and c) in each segment there is a very high variance in the willingness to implement in-store digital. Results confirm that in-store digital technologies are still an area of experimentation and test to estimate the effectiveness of digital tools
Lecture notes in information systems and organisation
No full textThis paper reports of an experimental crossover between two different perspectives of organizational activities: decision making and data management. Although there are ever growing contact points between the two, it is also true that in enterprises data-driven decision making often shows many room for improvements. A converging direction of these two aspects of organizational routine could be that of comparing and coupling decision making steps, activities and characteristics with data visualization properties, capabilities and enablers of information sharing and assimilation. This study goes in this direction, by proposing an exploratory analysis of decision making models and data visualization characteristics in order to extract a set of common aspects of decision making and to configure a set of connections between them and data visualization tools features. These connections may serve to investigate the strength of synergies between decision making activities and data management visualization, their effectiveness for data-driven decision making and the margin of improvements with respect to the current decision routines in enterprises. This study contributes to set the terrain for making a clearer picture of the strengths and weaknesses of data-driven decision making, to find implications for design of data visualization tools for supporting decision making activities, and to provide indications of how proactively data visualization toolboxes should run in the family at all decision levels and for each role in organizations.27-28 September 201
Impresa e commercialità attraverso il "lato oscuro" dell'unificazione dei codici
No full textGiugno 1940. L'entrata in guerra dell'Italia influisce anche sui lavori per i codici. Si gioca una partita complessa cui prendono variamente parte giuristi, economisti, esponenti della politica e di centri di interesse. Ne è principale motore e centro di fuoco il concetto di impresa, con i suoi molteplici significati tecnici e ideologici. La disputa, combattuta dall'interno come dall'esterno della macchina legislativa, non si attenuerà con l'entrata in vigore del codice civile e nemmeno con la caduta del fascismo, attraversando le tormentate vicende che seguono sino all'avvento della carta costituzionale; peraltro, anche dopo, non verrà mai svelata in tutte le sue sfaccettature.Quale è stato il fattore decisivo che ha provocato la fine del codice di commercio? Quali erano gli obiettivi di Mussolini? A chi va ascritta la paternità della definizione di imprenditore? Quali forze hanno prevalentemente inciso sulle norme in tema di impresa? Come ha potuto il Libro del Lavoro trapassare nell'ordinamento del nuovo Stato? Al fine di sciogliere questi e altri interrogativi, l'autore ha coniugato l'esame di materiali di archivio e di pubblicazioni spesso misconosciute con l'analisi tecnica dei progetti succedutisi, ricavandone conferme e sorprese sul piano della ricostruzione storica, nonché spunti di riflessione per gli studiosi del diritto positivo
