Dilemmi della mente e del potere: la costruzione della realtà amministrativa tra percezione e razionalità
No full textCome si prendono decisioni nella pubblica amministrazione? Quali sono i limiti cognitivi dei funzionari pubblici? In che modo bias, euristiche e percezioni distorte influenzano la qualità delle scelte collettive? In questo volume, Luca Gnan affronta questi interrogativi con rigore e profondità, offrendo un’analisi teorica e operativa del processo decisionale pubblico. Il libro esplora le dinamiche individuali, di gruppo e organizzative della decisione, con particolare attenzione alla gestione dei conflitti, all’uso delle tecniche partecipative e alla comunicazione dei risultati
The glass ceiling in SMEs and its impact on firm managerialisation: a comparison between family and non-family SMEs
No full textThis article aims at comparing family and non-family SMEs with regard to the role of women in ownership, governance and management roles and its relation with the firm managerialisation. We conducted a quantitative deductive design and tested the hypotheses through a questionnaire survey of 313 SMEs in Italy. Findings reveal that family SMEs are a more favourable context for breaking through the glass ceiling. Results also show that in non-family SMEs managerial mechanisms are more relevant when women are involved in governance and managerial roles. On the contrary, in family SMEs, our findings do not outline an active role of women in favouring firm managerialisation

Women, glass ceiling, and professionalization in family SMEs: a missed link
No full textLiterature and practical evidence on the glass ceiling have showed that women's presence in ownership does not ensure that they can significantly influence firm decisional processes. Similarly women's presence in governance roles does not entail glass ceiling removal, even in family firms, which are expected to be a more favorable context. Moreover, literature on women's role in family firms has focused mostly on women's expectations, values, and objectives, on the decision-making processes led by women, on their leadership styles and so on. Very few studies have dealt with women's contribution in strategy formulation, organizational structure design, implementing and using managerial mechanisms. This article focuses on two main topics: the role of women in family firms and the professionalization of the company. It aims at understanding both women's involvement in governance and managerial roles, and the relationship with the family firms' professionalization. The findings reveal, on one hand, that family SMEs are a more favorable context for the removal of the glass ceiling only with regard to the roles of member of board of directors and functional director. On the other hand, they show that some managerial mechanisms, such as incentives and managerial reporting systems, are more relevant when women are involved in governance and managerial roles
Una proposta metodologica nell'analisi tassonomica d'impresa: l'impiego della geometria frattale
No full textFamily involvement and agency cost control mechanisms in family small and medium-sized enterprises
No full textFamily firms may experience different agency conflicts to the classical principal-agent conflict,
which arise depending on the varying extent of family involvement. Agency cost control mechanisms
should be introduced to cope with them. The paper focuses on family involvement, in
governance (FIG) and in management (FIM), agency cost control mechanisms, and financial
performance in family SMEs. The results show that FIG is negatively related to agency cost control
mechanisms, but they are positively related to FIM, Finally, the importance of agency cost control
mechanisms positively influences the financial performance. Hypotheses were tested using LISREL
