What's new in innovation? A contribution to the novelty of innovation management approaches
No full textThis contribution analyzes two sides of managerial strategic decisions on innovation: first the choices regarding innovation modes, second the choices concerning innovation outcomes protection/accessibility (IP strategy). Literature on innovation management treats these aspects in a somehow separate way. It follows a lack of frameworks which take simultaneously into account these two sides of innovation strategy. We develop a framework based on a set of components of the double managerial choice. The framework reflects a configurational approach to the strategic combinations on both innovation modes and outcomes. It provides guidelines to support strategic decision making. The set of factors highlights the hybrid nature of innovation models and shows the limitations of strategic decision making based on discrete dimensions: open versus closed and collective versus private outcomes
L'inserimento in azienda
No full textL'articolo presenta un programma di ricerca sul tema dell'inserimento del personale in azienda. L'obiettivo è di comprendere attualità ed efficacia dei processi e delle pratiche di induction rispetto ai bisogni emergenti delle persone e delle organizzazioni. Il percorso di indagine descritto si articola in tre progetti successivi, utilizzando metodologie sia qualitative che quantitative al fine di incrociare le esperienze e le aspettative degli individui raccolte tramite il metodo della narrazione su un campione di laureati da poco inseriti nel mercato del lavoro
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
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
Using social network sites and tools in distributed teams: exploring performance drivers
No full textIn this paper we investigate whether a Social Network Site or tool (SNS) can be used for teamwork in organizations. Could microblogging tools be preferred to traditional communication tools for individual and group problem-solving? How would performance be affected? To answer this research question, we propose here a comparative study of Twitter, a well-known SNS for microblogging, and Skype, a typical communication platform for individuals and organizations. The laboratory experiment method was selected in order to conduct a rigorous comparison with well- defined measurements. Different teams of the same size carry out a problem-solving task communicating via Twitter or Skype. Comparative group performance is measured in terms of task completion time. Our results show that the lower volume of information exchanged via Twitter does not negatively affect group performance: Twitter teams are just as effective as Skype teams. These results can be only partly explained in terms of learning effects, but more interestingly they may be related to the different group dynamics within teams using different systems, disclosing new paths for further research

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
