Marketing e innovazione nell’impresa: un rapporto di complementarità funzionali e culturali
No full textMarketing for innovation is like an old wine in new bottles: not a new topic, but an issue of increasing relevance, with some interesting novelties, both for firms and for governments.
Traditional models of innovation are changing: within the firms, we are observing the emergence of new patterns of collaboration between R&D and marketing; at the same time, the most innovative firms are developing projects through networks of relationships with research centres, suppliers, customers and even competitors.
Building and leveraging innovative capabilities become central issues in firms' strategy; at the same time, the increasing attention paid to innovation as a source of competitiveness of industries and even countries, raise some questions about the role of governments in creating an adequate context for innovation, in order to sustain the competitiveness of firms facing the globalization of markets and technology
The evolutionary dynamics of product design during the early phases of a technological change. An explorative research in Italian lighting industry
No full textProduct language is the set of stylistic, aesthetic and design traits of a product
specifically aimed at conveying users the meaning of that product. Thus when a
technology breakthrough occurs firms are faced by the fundamental challenge of
developing an appropriate new product language to mark the new technology and
highlight its new features and capabilities to create value for user.
Nevertheless the dynamics of the product language evolution in the early phases of a
technology breakthrough are still poorly understood.
The paper analyses the launch and the early years (2007-2011) of the LED-based
products in the Italian decorative lamp industry. Using the network graph analysis the
paper highlights the product language’s evolutionary dynamics of these products and
based on existing theories speculates on the drivers of such dynamics. In particular
three main factors seem to affect the early evolution of the product language of a
breakthrough technology: (i) the users lock-in created by the early product language
experimentations, (ii) the collective mechanisms that firms adopt when they develop
new product languages (so called design discourse) and (iii) the influence of past
product language solutions on the interplay between problem space and solution space
in defining new developments.

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
