Corporate Governance and Performance: an empirical analysis of a Sector Listed in Italian stock Exchange
No full textStudies on corporate governance have undergone rapid development since the last
decades of the twentieth century, when both entrepreneurs and company men began to
pay considerable attention to the subject. However, the actual debate began in the early
nineties when, following the numerous financial scandals, companies were forced to
better define the control mechanisms within them. Most reported cases of corporate
failure are attributed to corporate governance practices (Appiah, 2013). We have begun
to assist on a global scale, the important role attributed to the mechanisms of Corporate
Governance as their correct application is closely related to company performance
(Donaldson, 2003).
On the basis of these considerations, the idea of the present work arises which, through a
quantitative approach, investigates how the different composition and structure of the
board influences the performance of the companies. The companies being analyzed are
the mechanical companies listed on the Milan stock exchange for the three-year period
2015-2016-2017. We chose to analyze the mechanical companies thanks to the role they
play in our country, in terms of employment, in terms of international trade and above all
with reference to the strategic role they fulfill, strongly contributing to the development of
the country and to the preservation of the levels of competition from the entire industrial
sector. In the elaboration of the dataset, with regard to the governance data, the analysis
of the corporate governance relations published annually by each company was used. To
relate the governance variables to company performance we used a single financial
statement indicator: the ROE (accounting measure), the most popular financial measure was used.
I risultati del presente lavoro dimostrano che la dimensione del Consiglio di
amministrazione ha un‟influenza positiva sulla redditività delle società ed anche la
maggiore presenza di donne all‟interno del CdA.

impact on performance.

shows an adequate review of the most significant national and international literature on
the subject. The research method used to analyze the topic is empirical using governance
variable from corporate governance reports.

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
