Relational Capital and Performances in Interuniversity Research Consortia
Full text linkInteruniversity consortia are linked together through direct (participation in the same consortium) and indirect (participation of the same member in two consortia) connections. The resulting network can be analysed with the techniques of Social Network Analysis. In this article we show that in our sample the consortium's centrality increases its turnover rate and its capacity to reach the break-even point. Moreover, we show that interuniversity consortia, including non-academic organizations, have a lower turnover value than purely academic ones. The results may enhance understanding of the role played by relational capital in the performance of non-profit organizations, which may also lead to policy recommendations
The Economic Aspect of Digital Sustainability: A Systematic Review
No full textIn recent years, sustainability and Industry 4.0 have become crucial aspects of the global economy. Numerous studies focus on the link between environmental aspects of sustainability and Industry 4.0. On the contrary, few studies address the issue of the integration of economic sustainability and digital technologies. This paper aims to fill this gap through a systematic analysis of the literature. In particular, 32 articles were selected and following a descriptive analysis to evaluate the evolution of the theme, a content analysis was performed. The findings of this study highlight and categorize the main sustainability metrics associated with digital technologies. Specifically, the digitalization process enhances the connection of products and factories, the value chain and users to achieve a production cycle as sustainable as possible. The new technologies developed allow companies to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, increase the market share, reduce energy waste, recover and reuse the material, etc. Finally, managerial and academic contributions were identified
"A ROTA É NA MEDULA”: POESIA E VIAGEM EM FRANCESCA CRICELLI
Full text linkO artigo realiza uma apresentação biobliográfica da poeta e tradutora paulista, Francesca Cricelli e, na sequência, analisa os poemas “É uma longa estrada repatriar a alma”, e “Sobre o atlântico só as estrelas”, que compõem a obra Repátria (2015), à luz de um dos temas mais perseguidos pela poeta, a viagem. De maneira mais geral, observa-se que o tema da viagem comparece como uma experiência autobiográfica da autora, não como simples registro ou poesia de circunstância. Para além disso, a poesia de Cricelli desvela sentidos que se produzem pelo olhar de um sujeito lírico em travessia pelo mundo e os efeitos que a viagem produz como experiência. O trabalho se fundamenta, prioritamente, na convergência de perspectivas teóricas diferentes, tais como Barthes (2003), Blanchot (2011), Smedt (1986), Collot (2013), Kovadloff (2003), entre outros
A dynamic view of knowledge and information: A stock and flow based methodology
No full textTraditional accounting systems focus on the evaluation on tangible assets, neglecting the value addition contributed to business performance by intangibles. This paper explores the intangible evaluation concept and suggests a stock and flow based analysis to assess a methodology that could highlight static and dynamic aspects and their mutual impact on business performance. A general sketch, clarifying the numerous cause-effect relations among intangible assets, is provided to support the management in decision making. The aim of this methodology coincides with the main target pursued by firms: to get a competitive advantage or to maintain the already acquired leadership
Intangible asset contribution to company performance: The "hierarchical assessment index"
No full textPurpose: This paper aims to define a theoretical model that assesses and measures the intangible asset contribution to company performance. The model keeps in focus the most meaningful elements that reflect the success factors, crucial to company business strategy and value creation. Design/methodology/approach: The model adopts a hierarchical structure. The strategic intangible assets of the company have been divided into value drivers; a series of measurement indicators have been selected to describe the characteristics of each aspect of the intangible company performance. The measurements obtained from numerical indicators, which express the totality of the results achieved by the organizational strategies, are combined to create the hierarchical assessment index (HAI), by assessing quantitative and qualitative company features, through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Findings: The HAI identifies the sources of added value and competitive advantage in each business context; it traces the subordination of every element on company performance, and singles out those intangible assets that improve the company performance, at every level of the hierarchy. Practical implications: The HAI provides guidelines to understand what are the key intangible factors to create the value of the company and suggests the implementation of corrective strategies. Originality/value: The HAI is the expression of the combination of the objective measurements of intangible assets with the subjective contributions by the managers. In fact, besides the numerical results of the performance of every element in the hierarchical structure, the managers' opinions about the significance of their performance are also considered. Thus, objective and subjective evaluations jointly contribute to suggest the way to achieving the expected objectives
Knowledge-based Inter-Organizational Collaborations
No full textPurpose – The evolution of organization, management and production processes is moving towards complexity. The ever growing competition presses firms to give intangible internal and external exclusive resources the utmost attention. The improvement of the performance, through the retrieval of
resources, neither available internally nor achievable autonomously, can be reached by going beyond traditional firm boundaries and by enforcing an external relationship system: proliferation of networks, partnerships, and inter-organizational collaborations should be, consequently, triggered. The purpose
of this paper concerns the evaluation of knowledge impact on relationships among the members of an inter-organizational collaboration. It also aims to suggest conditions for the improvement of knowledge management in different types of knowledge-based inter-organizational collaborations.
Design/methodology/approach – Critical success factors of the networked organizations have been defined. Distinctive characteristics, that cannot be disregarded, whatever the environment, have been singled out from literature analysis; successively, they have been arranged into a classification schema to design knowledge-based collaboration types. Properties of knowledge and peculiarities of knowledge management processes (identification, creation, storage, sharing/distribution, application, and capitalization/refinement) have been assessed according to the types of the collaborations.
Findings – The theoretical framework can be applied by network managers to adopt the most favourable knowledge management strategy and process, independent of the distinctive
characteristics of the collaborations.
Originality/value – The paper provides a theoretical framework to arrange the knowledge-based inter-organizational collaborations into an innovative classification schema on the basis of their
cognitive, strategic and structural aspects
