When start-ups shift network – notes on start-up journey
No full textStart-ups are often born in some kind of ‘hosting’ environment such as business and university incubators or science technology parks. For decades, this has been considered an important measure of enhancing academic entrepreneurship (Grimaldi, Kenney, Siegel, & Wright, 2011) and the beginning of a start-up’s journey towards becoming a full-grown business. In this chapter, we aim to examine the challenges that start-ups meet when they begin to acquire the shape of a business venture and attempt to develop commercially viable business relationships with customers and suppliers
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

Success Stems from STEM Fields: An Analysis of Italian Graduates
No full textThe school-to-work transition in Italy is very long. In this paper, we measure the
differences in the school-to-work duration for Italian graduates in the STEM and non STEM fields using data from the ISTAT Professional integration of Graduates survey.
We used different parametric and non-parametric approaches based on survival anal ysis. In particular, through competitive risk analysis, we control even the possibility
that the job search ends with a transition to the status of inactivity, still very frequent
among Italian people, especially women. Further, we compare STWT durations con ditioned to several relevant characteristics. We find that the STWT has an average
duration of 14 months for those who graduated in health sciences, 24 for other scien tific fields, and more than two years for those graduating in a humanities field. Other
significant differences arise when we account for gender, especially when we consider
an exit from the STWT for inactivity, for region of residence, family background, and
even for active participation in university activities. Further, the analysis highlights
the existence of a dual labor market, with shorter transitions to stable and satisfactory
jobs and longer transitions for jobs with opposite characteristics. The findings open
up many policy implications. Actions that could help in reducing the duration of the
STWT are: stimulating more young people, in particular women, to choose STEM
disciplines; reducing the Italian territorial divide, reinforcing universities in the South
and their connections with the productive system, incentivizing students to actively
participate in courses, and other activities

No full textIl libro presenta disegni originali e numerose foto degli edifici progettati e realizzati da Gino Valle in Carnia, area montana del Friuli Venezia Giulia. Tra i progetti raccolti, i municipi di Treppo Carnico e Sutrio, le terme e il kursaal di Arta, casa Quaglia e l’asilo di Fielis, ancora inedito. Il lavoro di Gino Valle ha avuto una vasta attenzione critica ed è stato diffusamente pubblicato in Italie e all’estero. La mostra sulla sua architettura carnica, di cui questo volume costituisce il catalogo, è stata una delle prime occasioni per un approfondimento su una parte specifica del lavoro dell’architetto udinese
On the Unexplained Causes of the Gender Gap in the Labour Market
No full textPurpose: This paper investigates the causes of the gender gap in the labour market that cannot be explained by classical human capital theory.
Design: To this end, the authors integrate the GGLMI, a composite index on the Gender Gap in the Labour Market developed in previous research, with further information on some social aspects that could affect the female work commitment, directly or indirectly. In particular, the authors want to verify if family care and home duties are still strongly unbalanced against women, and whether the welfare system plays a significant role in the gender gap.
Findings: Results highlight a very complex scenario, characterized by the persistence of gender inequalities everywhere, even if at different degrees, with very strong imbalances in the time spent at work in response to the family commitments.
Research limitations: The actual determinants of gender disparities in the labour market are very difficult to identify, because of the lack of adequate data and the difficulties in measuring some factors determining female behaviour. The additional information used in this research can only partially accomplish this task.
Originality/value: However, for the first time the paper uses information on different aspects and causes of the gender gap, including proxies of mainly unobservable aspects, in order to achieve at least partial measurement of this phenomenon
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
