Global technology: innovation strategies of multinational affiliates in Italy
No full textThe relevance, nature and economic effects of innovation
activities of transnational corporations are highly debated topics
in the current literature on the “globalization of technology”.
A controversial theme concerns the innovation strategies of
foreign affiliates and the role they play in host countries. This
article sheds new light on this topic by assessing the
technological contribution of foreign affiliates in Italy;
comparing the innovation performance and strategies of foreign
affiliates and domestic firms; and qualifying the main patterns
of innovative activities of transnational corporations. The
empirical evidence presented shows that foreign affiliates and
domestic firms differ from each other more in terms of type of
innovation strategies pursued than in terms of innovation
performance. However, innovation strategies of foreign
affiliates reflect a high degree of heterogeneity, being affected
by the technological characteristics of an industry, the specific
technological assets of firms as well as by some peculiar
features of the Italian innovation and production systems
Tecnologia globale? Le attività innovative delle filiali estere in Italia
No full textRelevance, nature and economic effects of innovation activities of multinational corporations (MNCs) are highly debated topics in the current literature on “globalisation of technology”. A controversial theme concerns the innovation strategies of foreign affiliates (FAs) and the role they play in host countries. This paper sheds new light on this topic using data provided by the second Community Innovation Survey (CIS 2). In particular the paper aims at: a) assessing the technological contribution of FAs in a host country (i.e. Italy); analyzing the type of innovation activities carried out by FAs and verify of their innovation performances are different from those of domestic firms; shedding light on the underlying strategies of FAs, that is whether they are “asset seeking” or “asset exploiting”; identifying and qualifying the main patterns of innovative activities of MNCs and the underlying strategies; assessing the role played by the productive and technological structure of the host country in influencing the innovation strategies of FA

Multinational Strategies and Outward-Processing Trade between Italy and the CEECs: The Case of Textile-Clothing
No full textThe paper is focused on the internationalisation process of the Italian firms within the textile-clothing industry. According to the economic literature on this topics, the Italian industry, as well as the textile-clothing sector, seem to be a follower, as far as the internationalisation process is concerned. Only since the Nineties, the international pattern of growth of the textile-clothing sector is strictly linked to the delocalisation of production and the creation of foreign affiliates. Within this contest, the Outward-Processing Trade (OTP) played a major role: the increase of the OTP data from 1991 to 1998 is very strong, especially if the consider the geographical area of the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). Among the CEECs, the Italian firms are mainly linked to Rumania. Our paper confirms the complementary existing among the different types of internationalisation tools.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
