Value co-creation processes in circular firms. Beyond organizational boundaries.
No full textThis book investigates value co-creation processes within the context of circular entrepreneurship. By rooting the book in value co-creation theory, the author addresses the following research questions: How do value co-creation processes impact organizations? And how could circular firms gain legitimacy through value co-creation processes? Through an empirical study based on interviews with circular entrepreneurs and focus groups involving both entrepreneurs and a sample of co-creating customers, the author offers an empirical framework of value co-creation processes and resulting organizational changes.
The book is informative for both academics and practitioners. From a theoretical point of view, it contributes to value co-creation theory, the growing circular entrepreneurship literature, and organizational studies. From a managerial perspective, it informs aspiring circular entrepreneurs and managers about the potential of value co-creation processes in supporting their firms in gaining legitimacy and becoming learning organizations
Beatrice d’Aragona, la regina d’Ungheria
No full textL’argomento principale della mia tesi è concentrato sul ruolo di Beatrice d’Aragona in Ungheria, da un punto di vista storico. Lo scopo della mia ricerca è quello di esplorare le relazioni estere dell’Ungheria, con particolare attenzione ai benefici del matrimonio tra il re Mattia e Beatrice d’Aragona nel XV secolo, e ai mezzi con cui l’Ungheria fiorì. Per la mia ricerca ho utilizzato numerose opere storiche, letterarie e culturali. Nella mia tesi, descrivo le due regine di origine italiana prima della comparsa di Beatrice in Ungheria e lo svolgimento del matrimonio tra il re Mattia e Beatrice d’Aragona. Discuto le opportunità offerte dall’umanesimo, che ha permesso ai rami letterari, artistici e culturali dell’Ungheria di fiorire. Descrivo gli sviluppi e le innovazioni che dobbiamo a Beatrice d'Aragona e al suo rapporto con la Corte di Napoli. Nel corso delle mie ricerche ho scoperto molti altri legami culturali tra l’Ungheria e l’Italia, ma sono giunto alla conclusione che uno dei maggiori impulsi allo sviluppo dell’Ungheria è venuto da questo rapporto.KEÚjlatin nyelvek és kultúrák - olasz szakirányBSc/B
Value co-creation processes in circular entrepreneurship: a problematizing review of value co-creation and a mixed-methods study.
No full textThe present doctoral research addresses value co-creation processes in a timely context, i.e., circular entrepreneurship, and it relies on a mixed-methods research design including an exploratory qualitative study and a subsequent quantitative one. The thesis is composed of three interrelated chapters, each of which constitutes a paper with its structure.
The entire work is rooted in the value co-creation theory, which has been developed in service marketing literature with the seminal work by Vargo and Lusch (2004) and it has influenced many research streams in other disciplines such as strategic management. The theory evolved over time, and it has been further revised and improved in service marketing by the authors themselves. However, the concept of “value co-creation” still appears blurry and it is one of the most elusively used concepts in Management.
the first chapter of this thesis proposes a review about value co-creation based on the problematization approach, with the aim to improve the value co-creation theory and at offering a better conceptualization of value co-creation encompassing diverse research fields in Management.
The second chapter consists in an empirical work aimed at investigating value co-creation within dyads of actors through an ecosystem perspective. More precisely, this paper contributes to the entrepreneurship literature as for the empirical analysis of the mechanisms through which circular small and medium-sized enterprises co-create value with their key actors. The unit of analysis is represented by the dyadic co-creation processes including forms, mechanisms, and process output. This chapter represents the exploratory and qualitative step of a mixed-method study, and its final output consists of an empirical model of value co-creation and in a set of research propositions.
The third chapter departs from the empirical model developed in the second chapter, and it aims to verify whether the emerged findings are generalizable, by testing the formulated series of hypotheses concerning the relationships among the variables of the theoretical model. To this end, we employed data collected through a survey administered to a representative sample of 80 European-born circular firms, and we tested the relationships among the variables by adopting the PLS-SEM technique.
This dissertation presents a twofold contribution, both theoretical and managerial. From the theoretical perspective, we advance the co-creation theory by offering assumptions with the potential to open on new ways of thinking about co-creation in Management. We also contribute to the growing literature about circular entrepreneurship. From the managerial perspective, this dissertation aims at making circular entrepreneurship and managers reflect upon the value creation stemming from the establishment of value co-creation processes with key actors within and for the ecosystem. Involving actors in a circular business through co-creation processes can represent the path to transition towards the circular economy paradigm

Tra cielo e terra. Re e Santi nell’Occidente medievale
No full textIl saggio pone l'attenzione sulla figura del re nell'Occidente medievale. Dopo il crollo dell’Impero romano d’Occidente e il periodo delle invasioni barbariche, si delinea nel panorama della formazione dei giovani regni d’Europa una figura
assolutamente nuova e originale: il re. Pur mantenendo nella continuità fascino e simbolismo, il ruolo del sovrano dell’Occidente medievale, fu il risultato di una rottura e di un’innovazione che si evolse e si trasformò, dapprima interpretando l’eredità romana dell’“auctoritas” e della “potestas”, poi ricevendo la consacrazione religiosa. Di fatto, si
trattò di una costruzione prodottasi e conseguita in ambito politico. I caratteri originali del “nuovo” sovrano sono stati individuati da Jacques Le Goff nel re monarca, cristiano e nobile. Il capitolo si sofferma inoltre sui modelli e sulle funzioni regie, sull’immaginario regio e la produzione della memoria dei re (in particolare sulla figura di San Luigi). Il saggio riconsidera la società “gerarchizzata” dell’epoca medievale, una società che rispecchia se stessa nella concezione del divino, dapprima esaltandolo o mettendolo in ombra, facce complementari della stessa medaglia che si avvicina o si allontana al contempo ai protagonisti: l’umanità e il divino in un rapporto che non è mai statico ma
in continuo movimento.
