El corazón y la circulación sanguínea en la farmacoterapia española del siglo XIX. Apuntes sobre la terminología cardíaca del "Tratado elemental de terapéutica médica" (1839) de Louis Martinet, traducido al español por Lorenzo Boscasa
No full textEl objetivo del presente ensayo es ahondar en la terminología cardíaca del "Tratado elemental de terapéutica médica" de Louis Martinet, traducido al español por Lorenzo Boscasa en 1839. A pesar de ser una traducción muy fiel al texto original, la publicación de Boscasa destaca en el panorama médico español del siglo XIX por revelar la gran atención que su autor dedica a la terminología científica, con especial atención a la nomenclatura de las dolencias cardíacas y de los vegetales empleados para la cura de estas últimas. El tratado acotado se analiza bien gracias a la consulta de obras científicas y divulgativas coetáneas a la de Boscasa, bien a la luz de las obras lexicográficas —académicas y no académicas— en lengua española publicadas en la centuria decimonónica y en épocas sucesivas
Local firms’ strategies and cluster coopetition in Tuscany: the case of “Toscana Promozione” Agency
No full textThis study examines a new paradigm of coopetition strategy emerged in Tuscany, one of the most famous Italian area in the world for cultural and economic heritage. Nowadays, global success in business requires that firms implement both competitive and cooperative strategies (i.e. coopetition). This strategy, according to Ray Noorda (the founder of Novell – an American multinational software and services company headquartered in Provo, Utah), considers the advantages arising when both cooperation and competition coexist in the same domains.
In the last twenty years, articles related to coopetition investigated several aspect of this strategy; in contrast, industry level coopetition has been investigated less than the other features (Rusko, 2011). Giving the literature review, there is a lack in knowledge regarding the benefits of coopetition fostered by local governments with foreign governments.
This study presents a new approach of industry-level coopetition through the qualitative case study of the economic promotion agency in Tuscany, Toscana Promozione. The paper presents a new paradigm of coopetition strategy in where firms are in a coopetition relationship with foreign competitors (and governments) thanks to the support of local authorities.
The main result of the research is that the boundary between institution and entrepreneur must be clear, government and local authorities must enforce competitiveness to improve the environment in which firms cooperate with the institution and compete each other with their own strategy. However during economic downturn periods, government and local authorities should, also, consider the possibility to become promoter, and supporter, of emerging entrepreneurship

Procedures vs. incentives: the university promotion system in Italy
No full textWe evaluate two reforms that modified the procedures of recruitment and promotion in Italian academia to balance the preeminent role of the recruiting school and to counter nepotism. We theoretically derive the decision rule of the evaluation committees and test it against data including information from all selections to associate and full professorship that were initiated by the Italian schools of economics between 2004 and 2011. Empirical results suggest that both reforms fell short of their goals
Family businesses in Eastern European countries: How informal payments affect exports
No full textThis article investigates the effect of corruption on the export share of family firms in Eastern European countries. Using the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey and panel data methods, we find that, in contrast to non-family firms, family firms are rather sensitive to corruption. In particular, the export share of family firms is positively associated with informal payments that aim to facilitate business operations. There are at least three compelling explanations for these results. First, if family firms are more risk averse than non-family firms, informal payments may represent additional export risk insurance. Second, informal payments may help family firms compensate for the lack of managerial capabilities to export. Finally, when institutional inefficiencies obstruct business, corruption may be a tool for family firms to protect their socioemotional wealth
