The internationalization path of Italian firms in India: localization drivers
No full textEmerging markets of today are represented by companies with international growth ambitions and new opportunities to be exploited. This study explores the characteristics of the Italian Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India and aims to fill the gap identified in literature by providing a comprehensive empirical analysis of this issue. The study specifically focuses on the localization drivers of Italian MNCs that internationalized in India. In order to investigate the research questions, a unique database of Italian firms that invested in India was created. The number of Italian companies with subsidiaries in India was found to be low. In terms of geographical distribution, the sample showed prevalence in New Delhi, followed by Mumbai and Bangalore. The main driver for localization choice was found to be the general economic importance of the city, and a majority of the sampled companies chose the place of establishment of their Indian subsidiary mainly based on the location of their clients (prospect and actual). This data was consistent with the idea that ‘market seeking’ is the primary strategic goal for the companies analyzed. A typical ‘multidomestic’ approach was adopted by customizing products and services to the local needs and demands. This supports the progressive embeddedness of the subsidiary into the local market. Under this perspective, FDIs could also represent a way to access local knowledge to be combined at a global scale to contribute to the overall performance of the MNC
The Internationalization Strategies of Italian MNCs in India
No full textThis study explores the characteristics of Italian foreign direct investment (FDI) in India and aims at filling the gap identified in the literature (i.e., a lack of empirical studies on Italian MNCs internationalizing in India) by providing an exploratory study on this issue. In particular, different questions need basically to be asked and answered, such as "Why do Italian firms invest in India," "Role of the subsidiary in the international network of the Italian MNC," and "Its value chain configuration." In order to investigate the research questions, a unique database of Italian firms that invested in India was created. The first empirical confirmation we collected was about the low number of Italian companies with subsidiaries in India. In terms of internationalization goals it emerges clearly from the research that the main target is market seeking. In order to acquire that market share Italian companies have organized their subsidiaries as partially independent companies, adopting a typical "multidomestic" approach

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

I cortili rinascimentali all’Aquila: un progetto per l’esplorazione di un patrimonio nascosto
No full textThe paper presents a work of documentation and communication of the Renaissance courtyards of the historic center of L’Aquila, a determining heritage in the architectural history of the city but hidden
and inaccessible. Accessibility is the prevailing key of the project, in which a series of digital tools such
as interactive maps, geo-referenced images galleries, 3D models and a virtual tour, were collected in an information system and made available through a website.L’articolo presenta un lavoro di documentazione e comunicazione dei cortili rinascimentali del centro storico dell’Aquila, un patrimonio determinante nella storia architettonica della città ma nascosto e poco accessibile.
