LA MODULAZIONE CULTURALE NEL PROJECT MANAGEMENT. L’IMPATTO DELLA CULTURA SULLA PROFITTABILITÀ DEI PROGETTI
No full textIl Project Management Interculturale offre modelli e strumenti operativi che permettono alle aziende di strutturare e migliorare la gestione di progetti in cui operano individui o gruppi appartenenti a culture diverse.
Studi recenti mostrano che modalità di agire e comportamenti manageriali sono fortemente influenzati dalla cultura nazionale dei singoli manager. Gli autori ritengono che un approccio flessibile alla gestione dei progetti debba essere capace di adattare e plasmare strumenti, processi e “practice” in quella che chiamano “Modulazione culturale nel Project Management”: la dimensione interculturale può quindi dimostrarsi capace di integrare e potenziare anche gli strumenti e i processi più avanzati di project ma- nagement.
Il risultato è un nuovo approccio, realmente in grado di adattarsi in modo da massimizzare la capacità di raggiungere i risultati voluti.
The Modular Intercultural Project Management
The emerging discipline of Intercultural Project Management meets today’s urgent need for specific know- ledge and experience when working with culturally diverse teams in joint global business and development projects.
Research studies show that managerial methods and behaviours are strongly influenced by each manager’s national and cultural background. The authors believe that the most flexible PM structural approach is the one that moulds and shapes its components and real practices in what the authors call “Cultural Sensitive Project Management” cultural reflections cast a richer light even to the most advanced PM practices.
The result is a new project management approach which is really capable of adapting itself so to maximize its capability of reaching its goals
THE HIDDEN POWER: A NEW PRACTICAL METHOD TO SAVE MONEY AND REACH GOALS IN PM
No full textThere is a striking power which is a hidden part of Project Management: it has been disregarded for ages.
The authors will show you how to find it out and especially on how to apply it in your daily life, to save money and get solid results in your PM activities.
In fact, the emerging discipline of Intercultural Project Management meets today’s urgent need for specific knowledge and experience when working with culturally diverse teams in joint global business and development projects.
Research studies show that managerial methods and behaviors are strongly influenced by each manager’s national and cultural background. The authors believe that the most flexible PM structural approach is that which moulds and shapes its components and real practices in what the authors call “Culture Sensitive Project Management”: cultural reflections cast a richer light on even the most advanced PM practices.
The result is a new project management approach which is truly able to adapt in order to maximize ways of reaching its goals, based both on the outcomes of research and on practical experience.
Culture can be a powerful way to create value and competitive advantage for individuals, teams and organizations, and it is possible to demonstrate in practice how to make this happen and provide cultural profitability for more advanced and successful project management
Intercultural project management: how much is it culture free?
No full textProject Management is a well-defined structured activity.
When Project Management tools and practices are applied to international projects, are these tools stronger than culture? Or is culture overwriting them? If yes, how strong and expensive is the impact?
This was the starting question for our research within the emerging discipline of Intercultural Project Management which meets today’s urgent need for specific knowledge and experience when working with culturally diverse teams in joint global business and development projects.

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
