Directorate ties: a bibliometric analysis
No full textPurpose: Over the last 100 years, research on interlocking directorates has proliferated. The purpose of this paper is to realize a bibliometric analysis of articles on interlocking directorates to identify the evolutionary patterns that characterize the studies on board interlocks. Design/methodology/approach: A bibliometric analysis of articles on interlocking directorates published since 1914 was realized to evidence how research has evolved over time. Papers were classified according to the research topic, the type of article and the use of different theories to explain board interlocks’ causes and effects. Findings: The authors identified four different periods that characterize board interlocks studies: the emerging debate, the earliest modern era, the modern era and the post-modern era. Originality/value: This bibliometric analysis assesses the extant literature by highlighting emerging trends and identifying several avenues for future research
Unraveling the resource puzzle: exploring entrepreneurial resource management and the quest for new venture success
No full textExisting research highlights resource management as a complicated and multifaceted system comprising interdependent components, rather than a collection of independent factors. Nonetheless, the precise influence of resource management approaches on value generation and overall prosperity in new business endeavors, especially within diverse contextual environments, remains unclear. To address this gap, our study adopts a neo-configurational approach to explore how entrepreneurial resource management components (e.g., structuring, bundling, and leveraging) relate to achieving success in start-ups. We also examine the contextual influence of environmental dynamism and munificence on the effectiveness of these resource management strategies. By analyzing a comprehensive sample of over 500 US-based ventures, we develop a theoretical framework that encompasses four distinct resource management strategies. This framework provides insights into the attainment of success across diverse environments, characterized by varying levels of dynamism and munificence. Our study contributes to extant literature by emphasizing that the achievement of a competitive advantage in entrepreneurial firms is contingent upon the alignment of internal resource management strategies with external factors, specifically dynamism and munificence

No full textBackground: Non-technological innovations in marketing are key drivers of competitive advantage of agri-food companies. The progressive and incessant affirmation of the Internet in the world economic panorama imposes the overcoming of the traditional models of marketing. The agri-food companies, in this new context, must think of themselves in the first place, mainly as a provider of information, and must be aware that it is facing a new type of customer, which becomes an active element of the marketing process. In recent years, agri-food companies have started processes of adaptation of their strategic and operational marketing activities with the aim of progressively integrating digital systems and exploiting their potential. Scope and approach: The aim of our paper is to analyze the relevance of innovations in marketing for agri-food companies starting from a literature review of web marketing. Specifically, our review is based on a database of over 700 articles from marketing and business journals, covering a period of over 20 years. It goes from the first web marketing publications of the last century to the most recent writings. The review examines the internet marketing literature in order to determine how it has evolved and to provide a comprehensive model useful to evidence the relevance of non-technological innovation for agri-food companies. Key findings and conclusions: Based on these results, we developed a comprehensive model including all the main aspects related to web marketing. Theoretical model has been then contextualized in the food industry, in order to understand how web marketing works in such a context. Some key examples are described in order to provide practical evidence
