    Le eco-birre in Italia: tecnologie emergenti e startup innovative

    No full text
    Abstract This work is about the production of eco-friendly beer as an emerging segment of the Italian brewery industry, supported by techniques and innovations focused on the search for sustainability and eco-compatibility in brewing. The aim of the study is to depict the role played in Italy by innovative startups and new ventures, complimentarily to investments made by well-established brands/manufacturers. The analysis depicts analogies and differences between the Italian context and what happening in the US market and/or in other relevant beer markets. The Italian craftbrewers seem to be affected by a certain degree of “brownwashing” with respect to sustainable investments and policies. Nevertheless, the Italian experience shows a significant amount of innovative brewing startups

    Innovation adoption in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) as a driver to sustainability. A meta-analysis

    The research program here summarized, after assuming that innovation adoption is a relevant, if not crucial, perspective for investigating SMEs orientation to sustainability,aims todetect the mostly relevant and cross-situationally consistent antecedentsof innovation adoption decisions from SMEs.This document shortly reportsa research project on the factors affecting the innovation adoption decisions from SMEs, giving particular attention to their search for sustainability. The research program was 2-years long (from October 2016 to September 2018) and was executed without grants or other external funds.The research, which is now completely done, combined a huge effort into theoretical investigation and analysis with empirical research, since a longitudinal meta-analysis was adopted and applied. As a consequence, theoretical knowledge and conceptual frameworks inquiry were followed by significant computational work, as requested by the meta-analysis procedure recalled below. It is one of the very few studies investigating a wide range of antecedents of innovation adoption decisions, even ifsome moderators, with a focus on SMEs. The time range of considered works is longer than in previous meta-analysis and encompasses different economic cycles.A meta-analysis of the specificity of the determinants-sustainable innovation adoption decisions associations in SMEs is further provided. Key words: sustainability; innovation adoption; decision making; SMEs; meta-analysis; moderation effec

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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
