Governance, management and performance in public networks: How to be successful in shared-governance networks
No full textThis paper compares four cases and explores the effects on network
performance of network governance, coordination mechanisms, and the abilities of
the network manager. The focus is on shared-governance networks, which are in
general considered to have difficulties achieving high-level performances. The
cross-case comparison suggests a relationship between coordination mechanisms
and the way shared-governance networks are managed: in order to be successful,
they must be able to rely on formalized mechanisms and make a pool of ‘‘network
administrators’’ responsible for their governance
Sepolti nella luce. Archivio, collage, found footage
No full textNel variegato contesto di pratiche e poetiche del found footage internazionale le proposte del cinema d’artista italiano detengono una specificità storica e di ricerca. Le più consolidate sono sicuramente quella critico-decostruzionista (dalle pioneristiche opere di Loffredo, passando per Baruchello-Grifi, il Gruppo 70 fino a Cane Capovolto) e quella storico-elegiaca (l’esempio dei Gianikian che si apparenta al percorso di cineasti e artisti come Péter Forgás e Jean-Luc Godard). Allo stesso tempo, il lavoro di Paolo Gioli rappresenta un unicum, per assiduità e varietà, della tipologia strutturale del found footage: non a caso apprezzato e rivalutato a livello internazionale soprattutto oggi. L’animazione sperimentale e nuovi artisti come Daniele Puppi dimostrano invece come anche le ultime generazioni sappiano dialogare in maniera creativa e tecnologicamente avanzata con gli archivi. Attraversando forme e generi differenti, il found footage italiano prospetta una nozione d’archivio mobile ed evolutiva, lontana da un’idea consolidata e museografica del materiale di repertorio, dimostrando viceversa un carattere dinamico
Proprietà, network e governance . Alla ricerca di un nuovo equilibrio nella fornitura dei servizi pubblici locali
No full textIl contributo si propone di verificare l'esistenza di una relazione tra le caratteristiche strutturali dei network di alleanze in cui sono coinvolte le imprese di servizi pubblici locali (local utilities) e la loro performance economica e sociale . la base dati dello studio é rappresentata dalla 154 local utilities italiane che hanno stipulato alleanze strategiche dal 1996 al 200
When civic culture meets strategy: exploring predictors of citizen engagement in participatory strategic plans in Italy
No full textBy taking the Irvin and Stansbury (2004) article as a theoretical framework, this chapter aims to explain the diffusion of participatory strategic plans in a country like Italy, which is traditionally characterized by a high degree of distrust in public institutions. The population for our study consisted of the Italian cities that formulate participatory strategic plans. Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is employed to identify the factors that influence the propensity of Italian municipalities to engage citizens in strategic plan formulation
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
Collaborative administration: the management of successful networks
No full textDespite a general consensus on the importance of collaborative settings for the solution of ‘wicked’ problems, questions of how to successfully manage public networks remain without a clear answer. Some authors highlighted the importance of the network structure and context; other authors shed light on network management and coordination mechanisms. More recently, some scholars have stressed the criticality of ‘soft’ factors, such as interorganizational trust. In this multifaceted landscape, the goal of the special issue is to stimulate a dialogue on the functioning of public networks, and contribute to the development of sound knowledge about how to make them succee
