Human Resource Management as Value Creation Lever in Leisure Sector. An Empirical Analysis from Italian Firms
No full textThis paper presents an empirical analysis conducted on the relation between human resource practices and value creation in listed Italian leisure firms. This work reports also about a wider empirical analysis
worked out using a linear regression model adopted on more than 300 Italian firms listed on Italian stock market. As the analysis stressed, human resource performance practice is one of the main variable
that could affect value creation performance but on leisure sector it would be significantly improved to rise higher customer satisfaction and thus better value creation performance
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Il cluster biotecnologico di Torino: il ruolo dell’Università e del territorio per lo sviluppo dell’innovazione
No full textPurpose of our study is to analyze the structure of the Turin biotechnological cluster in the “systemic living vision” (Golinelli, 2009), in particular for what concerns to biotech sector - start up operating in the territory in order to find the potentiality of the innovation development.
Our empiric analysis examines the development of iotechnological sector in the territory of Turin, where the protagonist is the Molecular Biotechnology Center (MBC) of the Turin University, integrated with the Biotechnological pole of Ivrea (Bioindustry Park). In particular the area of research is focused on the so-called “red biotechnologies” (biotech research in medical field).
The analyzed structured has been also compared to the French experience of the Evry Cluster Genopole, complex but at the same time connected and integrated with its territory. As what happens in Turin, this biotechnological pole expresses the will to concentrate the know-how of the territory in a restricted area with an high concentration of structures and facilities for biotech firms development.
The expected results refers to the definition of local biotech start-up in the incubators in Turin Cluster, to the economical data and to the methods of evaluation used to assess the choice of the investments, the different promotions of technological development, the relationships between the financing from public and private organizations, the network of territorial relationships, and finally the definition of a model to promote the territorial system of biotechnological innovation
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
I testi del web: una proposta di classificazione sulla base del corpus PAISÀ
No full textIl presente contributo si propone di condividere le finalità, la metodologia di sviluppo e gli esiti delle prime ricerche condotte sul corpus PAISÀ, un corpus di testi in italiano contemporaneo scaricati dal web, ideato con finalità glottodidattiche e di ricerca nell'ambito del progetto omonimo. Presenteremo come il progetto si inserisce nel panorama, sempre più vasto, dei web-derived corpora, gli accorgimenti che sono risultati necessari in fase di creazione per evitare la spinosa questione del copyright e le ripercussioni che ciò ha avuto sui contenuti. Ci concentreremo poi sui diversi livelli di annotazione che arricchiscono il corpus PAISÀ, soffermandoci in particolare sullo sforzo di classificazione dei testi per argomento, intenzione comunicativa e genere testuale, tre parametri che, una volta trasformati in criteri di ricerca e esplorazione del corpus, permetteranno agli utenti - insegnanti di lingua in primis - una consultazione estremamente mirata e raffinata dei testi
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
