Politiche industriali per i distretti, politiche di sviluppo ispirate dai distretti. La lezione di Sebastiano Brusco
No full textQuesto saggio discute due idee fondamentali di politica industriale elaborate da Sebastiano Brusco: i servizi reali a sostegno delle imprese distrettuali e quelli necessari per la trasformazione di gruppi di imprese isolate in sistemi di imprese; la promozione di cambiamenti diffusi sul piano delle conoscenze e competenze, e delle relazioni sociali. Argomenteremo che a queste due idee sono connesse due concezioni del ruolo del distretto industriale. Nelle politiche industriali centrate attorno ai servizi reali, i distretti industriali sono i destinata-ri delle politiche; nelle politiche di sviluppo locale i distretti industriali sono il modello di riferimento che porta a definire un approccio di intervento innovativo. In una fase ulteriore, infine, con la proposta dei contratti di programma di distretto come forma di sostegno delle politiche territoriali nel Mezzogiorno, i distretti industriali si trasformano in possibili attori delle politiche sulla scena nazionale.Il saggio esplora il modo in cui si è verificato questo cambiamento concettuale e delinea, in sintesi, alcuni dei mutamenti nel paradigma di ricerca e nel quadro di interventi di policy dell’ultimo decennio
The Italian Revival of Industrial Districts and the Foundations of Industrial Policy
No full textProblems of development were at the center of the work of Sebastiano Brusco. Over a thirty-year period at the end of the last century and in conjunction with a large team of collaborators, he made many of the most important contributions to the study of (mainly) Italian industrial districts1.Drawing particularly on the experience of Emilia Romagna in the 1970s, Brusco showed that a multiplicity of forms of industrial organization could be efficient, if properly embedded in supporting social and institutional structures. He developed analytical and empirical tools on policies to help conceptualize a form of local development that was associated with the presence of industrial districts, and used these tools to rethink the effectiveness of policy instruments. This work was carried out in conjunction with his dialogue with trade unions in Italy in the 1970s on the one side and, on the other side, with an international scientific community that was then growing around the research on industrial districts and local development. Unfortunately, his premature death in 2002 has denied us his continued participation in a discussion that owes him much. But he has nonetheless left us a priceless legacy in his many and lucid writings, with their vivid demonstration that theoretical analyses and empirical studies can be fruitfully interwoven with research and didactic activity2.Prior to launching on his studies of Industry and Labour, to which he devoted his years at Cambridge (UK) in the early 1960s, Brusco found a cue for his research in theoretical, political and social experience in the Sardinia of the 1950s. He belonged to a group of intellectuals of the Ichnusa review, gathered around the jurist Antonio Pigliaru and sparking an intense discussion on themes of development. This context went on to shape Brusco's work in subsequent decades, and led him down a personal research path focused on the interpretation and analysis of industrial districts and local development3.This chapter briefly reviews the problems and the analytical tools put forward by Brusco in his writing on local development (section 2). We shall deal with two fundamental concepts of industrial policy developed by Brusco (sections 3 and 4): the role of real services to support district firms and the role of real services needed to transform groups of isolated firms into systems of firms; and the promotion of widespread changes at the level of knowledge, competences, and social relations. These concepts emphasize both that industrial policies centred on real services can treat the industrial district per se as a key policy target and that local development policies should use the concept of the industrial district as a reference model to identify innovative approaches to policy design and intervention more generally. Thus, when policy making used district planning contracts as a form of support for territorial policies in Southern Italy, the industrial districts themselves became actors of policy making on a national scale (section 5)
Industriamoci. Capacità di progetto e sviluppo locale
No full textPer contribuire alla conoscenza dell’opera di Sebastiano Brusco, la Biblioteca di Economia a lui intitolata ha deciso di raccogliere in volume gli articoli pubblicati sul supplemento Affari & Finanza de la Repubblica tra il 1995 e il 2000. Gli scritti rispecchiano la varietà di temi di politica industriale a cui Sebastiano Brusco ha dato un contributo scientifico fecondo e originale. La raccolta è stata curata da Anna Natali, Margherita Russo e Giovanni Solinas che ringraziano la Repubblica per averne autorizzato la divulgazione sulle pagine del sito web della facoltà di Economia di Modena alla URL www.economia.unimore.it/brusco/industriamoci_saggi1995-2000.htm
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
