What's so strong with family business?
No full textEvidence from family business literature shows how internal family business
implications such as goal and strategy formulation, innovation and professionalism of firms,
resource management, culture and internationalization are still ignored or remain understudied
(Zahra and Sharma, 2004). On the other hand, a deeper understanding of internal family business
implications represents an opportunity for managers forwarding new managerial practices. In
this scenario, family business literature has provided limited treatment of the relationship between
management and customer. For this reason, the primary objective of this article will be to
explore management−customer relations inside small/medium−sized family businesses focusing
on the management perceptions of family business strengths. This paper will report on the
results of a multiple case study that allowed us to relate what the firm thinks of itself to what the
customer sees in it
Percezione del Management e percezione del cliente: un confronto sui punti di forza dell'impresa
No full textWomen’s roles in family businesses: Specifics, contradictions, and reflections
No full textThis chapter is based on a systematic literature review of 56 articles published in leading academic journals and aims to reflect on the role of women in family businesses, focusing on specifics, contradictions, and opportunities derived from this specific setting. In detail, this work intends to disentangle this ambiguous and fragmentary topic and shed light on new perspectives by identifying how and why women are involved in invisible or minor roles where they are sometimes unpaid or paid less than men, despite having shown uncontested ability in firm management. Further studies are suggested to analyze in depth specific insights of the topic, particularly those related to anthropological and psychological perspectives
Can a chronic dental infection be considered a cause of cardiovascular disease? A review of the literature
No full textCardiovascular diseases (CVD) have a complex etiology determined by risk factors, which are in turn associated to a strong genetic component and to environmental factors. In the biological background for the development of CVD, low-grade chronic inflammation plays a role as a pathogenetic determinant of atherosclerosis. Dental infections have been associated with CVD. Periodontal disease is a chronic infection of the supporting tissues of the tooth that can lead to teeth loss. In recent years, a number of reports have demonstrated the possible relationship between periodontal disease and CVD. Apical periodontitis, on the other hand, is the late consequence of an endodontic infection, which is caused by the persistence of coronal caries and involves the root canal system of the tooth. Most of the time, it is a chronic infection. Some studies have found a correlation between a "composite status" of oral health (eg. caries, tooth loss, periodontal disease) and CVD, but only a few of them have addressed the association between apical periodontitis and CVD. This "state of the art" paper represents the first stage of an incoming study on the relationship between chronic endodontic infection and CVD
Promoting Sustainable Development Through Culturale Heritage
No full textTaking into account the changes from the industrialized 20th to the new sustainable socio-economic orientation of the 21st century many city council members, organization managers and so on, have begun to “look around” and surprisingly “have discovered” what has been, from time immemorial, right before their eyes: a huge cultural heritage of immense value that was waiting only to be appreciated!
In such a situation the main question pertains to the comprehension of the beliefs, behaviour, skills and maybe tools that may help human beings, organizations and countries deal with the fascinating challenges of this new era: start development by taking intangible assets, like culture and identity. How can the culture and identity heritage generate sustainable socio-economic development? This paper has the aim to present an example which may make this new challenge welcome. More exactly, the purposes are: to describe and to analyze a project being carried out at the same time in Sardinia (Italy) and in La Libertad (Peru) setting up a survey to find out the people’s perceptions. The methodology used is storytelling.
The interest for the research considered here, is connected with a predominant number of studies that analyze culture’s contribution to the regeneration of large areas, or large cities. With this paper we fill this gap considering the experience of two villages, one in Sardinia and the other in La Libertad, that with audacity, creativity and hard work, make the tacit knowledge clearly mixed in their culture and expressed in their identity. The contribution of this research is to add a piece of knowledge in the puzzle of characteristics that must be chosen to build sustainable socio-economic development in two rural areas where only cultural heritage is abundant. Taking into account the fact that a large proportion of the world needs to discover what is necessary to start up economic development, and that each part of the world is rich in cultural heritages, we hypothesize that this “model” may be replicated (this is a future step of this research). The reason is connected with the specificity of the basic resource of the project presented: culture and its connected knowledge is an unlimited resource. The real challenge is to understand that culture and identity are true resources even if not tangibles. How is it possible that people living in little villages make this challenge true? In which way are they acting? What is the meaning of their international partnership
