Family firm status and environmental disclosure: The moderating effect of board gender diversity
No full textBuilding on agency and resource-based view theories, this study investigates the level of environmental disclosure (ED) practices of family versus non-family firms and explores the moderating role of board gender diversity. We test our hypotheses on a 3-year (2018–2020) panel data sample comprising 324 observations of Italian small- and medium-sized enterprises traded on the Euronext Growth Milan. Findings show that, compared to non-family firms, companies with a family firm status are characterized by lower levels of ED. Gender diversity on the board, however, moderates this relationship, reducing this gap, to the extent that the family firm status is associated with higher ED when the number of women directors is high enough to constitute a critical mass. We consequently contribute to the studies on family business, corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility. </p
Capitolo 17 – Le diverse vie alla creazione di valore transgenerazionale: i profili imprenditoriali emergenti
No full textIl libro nasce con l’obiettivo di analizzare come le nuove generazioni di imprenditori sono in grado di creare valore nelle imprese familiari. Parte dunque dalla letteratura scientifica sul tema per poi analizzare le dinamiche di 15 casi imprenditoriali nei quali le nuove generazioni sono state capaci di contribuire al rinnovamento e al successo dell’impresa di famiglia. Per ogni azienda, vengono presentati i driver che hanno contribuito a determinare l’imprenditorialità del giovane leader, distinguendoli in fattori individuali, familiari, aziendali e di contesto. Inoltre, si presentano le diverse forme di imprenditorialità sviluppate dalle nuove generazioni (innovazione, rinnovamento e venturing) e gli effetti virtuosi di tale processo. Nel corso dell’evento, verranno presentati i principali contenuti del libro e a seguire è prevista un’occasione di confronto fra i giovani imprenditori protagonisti. I casi aziendali studiati all’interno del volume sono: BasicNet, Basso Fedele & Figli, Cantine Volpi, Editoriale Domus, Ellena, Fratelli Pisa – Pisa Orologeria, Fontana Group, GDL, Gibus, IDAL Group, IRSAP, Lucano 1894, Polti, Sabelt e THUN – Lenet Group

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
