The Impact of Social Capital on the Start-ups' Performance Growth
No full textThis paper analyzes the development of strong and weak ties of social capital between a start-up and its main customers and its impact on the growth of the start-up’s economic and innovative task performance outcomes.
Results confirm that there are different configurations of social capital able to influence the start-up’s performance growth during its life cycle, which are contingent on the selected measures of task performance outcomes. Our findings can offer some interesting reflections in the field of social capital, entrepreneurship, and performance research, raising critical strategic implications for start-ups in terms of opportunities, resources, and governance
I sistemi di pesca proto - industriali. Tonnare e pesca a strascico coi “paranzelli” in Napoli e nel suo golfo nell’Ottocento
No full textNel Mediterraneo la pesca non ha mai avuto una rilevanza paragonabile a quella dei paesi dell’Europa settentrionale, nonostante la maggiore estensione delle terre che si affacciano su di esso. Proprio per questo motivo il mare doveva dare nutrimento a un numero di persone maggiore e non proporzionale alla produzione. Per di più, come ci insegna Braudel, il Mediterraneo non è quel lago quasi immobile, come appare agli sprovveduti, bensì un mare infido nel quale la tempesta sopraggiunge senza quasi alcun preavviso
Trade Exchanges between the Kingdom of the two Sicilies and the Countries of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea (1734-1861)
No full textWhen Charles of Bourbon occupied the kingdom of Naples, in 1734, the situation was quite critical because it lacked the infrastructure, the fleet had been destroyed, the harbours were in disuse and the trade was in crisis. Around 1750, some very big ships, called “polacche” (polacres), were built: they were also equipped with guns, and they took part in the trade between England and the (American) colonies. During the regency of Bernardo Tanucci (1759-1767), mainmasts for the new fleet were sent from Sweden and Denmark, with whom the Bourbons had already stipulated some trade agreements (in 1742 and 1748). The purpose is to establish a framework of the trade routes between the Kingdom of Naples and the new emporia in the Black Sea and in the Baltic Sea. To this end, an examination of customs documents used in foreign trade during the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies kept in the State Archives of Naples, will be the main concern of the paper
Towards a dynamic knowledge-based approach to the innovation process: an empirical investigation on social capital inside an industrial cluster
No full textDuring recent years, the importance of the economic forces acting on firms' innovation performance has received much attention from economists and management scholars. In particular, the focus of the studies concerning innovation process has shifted from the control of static, firm-specific resources to the acquisition, assimilation and exploitation of firm-specific knowledge. This paper aims to identify a direct tie between a firm's social capital and its abilities and skills in the innovation process. We propose that the greater the social capital possessed by the firm, the greater its knowledge will be, and therefore, the faster its innovation process. Our results show a positive correlation between innovation performances and knowledge acquisition, supporting the hypothesis that knowledge acquisition mediates the relationship between social capital and innovation performances. These findings can offer some interesting reflections in the field of research innovation into social capital and innovation
The "question" of American brigs seized by Murat for Napoleon order in Naples between 1809 and 1812
No full textDuring the reign of Charles of Bourbon, the reorganization of a strong merchant navy was actively encouraged. These first attempts were followed by more frequent voyages to the Americas when strong merchant vessels were built in Sorrento. Then, at the end of the 18th century, after the American Declaration of Independence, first diplomatic relations were established between the Bourbon kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the United States, which intensified during the 19th century. After Napoleon’s rise to power, the Italian Peninsula was invaded by the French in 1799. The Bourbons fled to the island of Sicily. Under Napoleon the Kingdom of Naples was ruled first by Napoleon’s brother Joseph and then by Napoleon’ brother- in- law Joachim Murat

La crisis económica del virreinato napolitano en la época de Felipe III a través del estudio de algunos presupuestos (1598-1621)
No full textThe present research article analyzes by means of a qualitative methodology the serious economic crisis, to speculate to the Spanish one, that was
evident during the reign of Felipe III in the Neapolitan viceroyalty. The
conclusions, aimed at deciphering the viceroyalty events-axis of Spanish
imperial policy as the first financier of the wars of that time, are based
on the analysis of basilar documents such as the Instrucciones that the
sovereign gave to the viceroys, the Viceregal Informes, and some presuppositions that, through the economic policy of the Spanish monarchy,
highlight the economic-financial situation of the viceroyalty
