No full textMARE NOSTRUM Percorsi e storie di imprenditori immigrati in Italia tra necessità e opportunità
No full textL’attività imprenditoriale può essere interpretata come
risultato di uno specifico mindset imprenditoriale?
Oppure come una delle possibili risposte alle difficoltà
economiche e sociali? Qual è il ruolo delle barriere linguistiche
e culturali degli stranieri rispetto alla scelta di
avviare un’attività autonoma?
Dopo uno studio approfondito sullo stato dell’arte, si
analizza qui il ruolo della motivazione, dell’intenzione,
dell’auto-efficacia, della cultura, dell’orientamento
imprenditoriale e delle relative prestazioni degli imprenditori
immigrati. Attraverso una ricerca qualitativa
svolta nel territorio romano, si intende verificare in che
misura le percezioni e le competenze degli imprenditori
immigrati siano assimilabili e riconducibili allo specifico
mindset imprenditoriale studiato in letteratura

Che cosa è la Corporate Social Responsibility
No full textLa responsabilità sociale d’impresa (corporate social responsability – CSR) è un fenomeno in continua crescita nel contesto imprenditoriale. I processi di CSR impattano sulle scelte aziendali, sulle strategie d’impresa, ma anche sulla società e sui processi di sostenibilità (non solo ambientale ma anche in riferimento ai processi imprenditoriali e di sviluppo nonché di crescita sostenibile).
La teoria classica e neoliberista di impresa afferma che etica e profitto sono due concetti opposti e inconciliabili. Dunque, la CSR si pone, il più delle volte, come scelta di campo profondamente alternativa rispetto all’approccio neoliberista. La CSR è, infatti, interpretata facendo riferimento alle modalità di gestione strategica e operativa dell’impresa, valutando, allo stesso modo, la qualità delle relazioni che l’impresa ha con clienti, fornitori, istituzioni e società, ovvero con tutti i suoi stakeholder. Seguendo tale prospettiva, la responsabilità sociale non è da definirsi come un semplice costo da rendicontare o piuttosto come un vincolo all’attività imprenditoriale: la CSR è da considerarsi come un vero e proprio investimento che, con il tempo, contribuisce alla crescita, allo sviluppo e all’immagine stessa dell’impresa, creando valore per tutti gli attori coinvolti e perseguendo l’obiettivo di uno sviluppo sostenibile. Ciò consolida l’impresa come una vera e propria “istituzione social”, con funzioni fiduciarie nel marcato e per tutti i suoi stakeholder. Il passaggio dalla mera attenzione al profitto all’inclusione dei bisogni e delle aspettative della comunità nelle strategie aziendali rappresenta il principale cambiamento nell’evoluzione del concetto di finalismo d’impresa che oggi, più che mai, esige l’adozione di più forti valori etici, la modificazione dei comportamenti (politiche) e l’adeguamento delle strutture (organizzazione)
FACING 2020: THE 9 TRAITS OF SUCCESSFULL MIGRANT ENTREPRENEURS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ROME.
Full text linkThe distinctiveness of migrants’ entrepreneurial propensity can be explained by considering both internal characteristics of the individual migrant, as well as the external environment of the host economy he/she operates in (Kloosterman et al. 1999). Migrants can perceive and seek entrepreneurial opportunities through specific sets of resources and personality-traits (Kloosterman/Rath 2001, Kloosterman 2010). Despite of this, the topic is vastly under-studied compared to its economic importance. After an in-depth study of the literature status quo about it, the paper analyses the motivation, intention, self-efficacy, culture, entrepreneurial orientation and performance of immigrant entrepreneurs. The main aim is to verify to what extent perceptions and skills of these immigrant entrepreneurs are similar to entrepreneurial psychological constructs studied in the literature. The used research instrument was the semi-structured interview consisting of 49 open-ended questions directed at the sample under examination. The results of the study showed a significant correlation between motivation and business performance (a motivated entrepreneur is more likely to succeed in business than an unmotivated entrepreneur) and a significant positive correlation between culture and motivation to start a business (a culture that is supportive of entrepreneurial activities, lowuncertainty avoidance, high individualism and lowpower distance relates positively to a high level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy)
A novel view on knowledge sharing in the agri-food sector
No full textPurpose
Nowadays, the agri-food sector is facing several challenges due to a rapid technological change which calls for knowledge sharing (KS) practices to enhance businesses’ performance. This has spurred a collaborative approach and the creation of networks. Since there still is a paucity of research on the quality degree of KS, the purpose of this study is to offer an empirical research on the quality degree of KS by exploring outcome expectations and social exchange dimensions. Theoretically, it is examined by a double lens of social capital and social cognitive theory.
Design/methodology/approach
This study offers an empirical analysis of 313 directors of 11 “consortia” in the agri-food sector in Italy by using the fuzzy expert system. The model allows to aggregate multi criteria dimensions of KS and rates its quality.
Findings
As resulted, the quality degree of KS is influenced by outcome expectations – personal and community expectations – and three forms of dimensions of social exchange: structural, relational and cognitive. The paper ends with a discussion of research findings, its limitations and implications.
Originality/value
As there is still a paucity of research on the determinants of quality degree of KS, the research adopts a double lens of social capital and social cognitive theories to explore what are these determinants
Mean-risk analysis with enhanced behavioral content
No full textWe study a mean-risk model derived from a behavioral theory of Disappointment with multiple reference points. One distinguishing feature of the risk measure is that it is based on mutual deviations of outcomes, not deviations from a specific target. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for strict first and second order stochastic dominance, and show that the model is, in addition, a Convex Risk Measure. The model allows for richer, and behaviorally more plausible, risk preference patterns than competing models with equal degrees of freedom, including Expected Utility (EU), Mean–Variance (M-V), Mean-Gini (M-G), and models based on non-additive probability weighting, such as Dual Theory (DT). In asset allocation, the model allows a decision-maker to abstain from diversifying in a positive expected value risky asset if its performance does not meet a certain threshold, and gradually invest beyond this threshold, which appears more acceptable than the extreme solutions provided by either EU and M-V (always diversify) or DT and M-G (always plunge). In asset trading, the model provides no-trade intervals, like DT and M-G, in some, but not all, situations. An illustrative application to portfolio selection is presented. The model can provide an improved criterion for mean-risk analysis by injecting a new level of behavioral
realism and flexibility, while maintaining key normative properties

A sensory perspective in the Italian beer market
No full textPurpose – From literature, an uncovered issue around the customer-based brand equity (CBBE) is detected:
the influence of sensorial preferences on the relationship between social media communication and CBBE.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects produced by social media brand communication – both
firm-created content (FCC) and user-generated content (UGC) – on CBBE, according to the sensorial
preferences in the beer industry.
Design/methodology/approach – A literature review has been used to develop a research model and
hypotheses. The research is based on online survey carried out on a sample of 183 valid questionnaires of
Italian active fans and followers in the beer industry. A multi-group analysis applied to structural equation
modeling is used.
Findings – The sensory dimension prevails limiting the operating range of brand awareness that does not
strongly affect CBBE. In brand equity development’ process, non-sensorial users do not consider sensorial
preferences. The brand equity can become stronger by stimulating the reaction of customers through firms’
communication by using social media platforms. Therefore, the quality of peer interactions in the social
media communication has a positive impact on brand loyalty. When firms use social media communication to
increase overall brand equity, they have to foster and monitor FCC and UGC responses that affect different
CBBE components.
Originality/value – The paper provides empirical evidence about the relationship between social media
communication and CBBE, according to the importance given to sensorial preferences by beer lovers. This
can be considered as the first study on this specific topic focused on the CBBE issue
