Sistemi ERP. Un'innovazione tecnologica ed organizzativa
No full textLa diffusione dei sistemi di Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) non ha rappresentato un semplice epifenomemo del processo di cambiamento manageriale e organizzativo che ha caratterizzato le imprese nello scorso ventennio. Al contrario, la diffusione di tali sistemi ha rappresentato il motore di tale cambiamento e uno dei momenti più avanzati sul fronte dell'utilizzo delle tecnologie dell'informazione e della comunicazione (ICT) in ambito aziendale. I sistemi ERP si collocano in un crocevia in cui si incontrato innovazione tecnologica, innovazione organizzativa e innovazione manageriale, dando luogo a un compelsso processo di adozione che coinvolge molteplici attori, interni ed esterni all'azienda, caratterizzati da un elevato grado di eterogeneità in termini di cultura, linguaggio, interessi e potere sociale. L'obiettivo del presente volume è quello di cercare di affrontare tale complessità al fine di dipanare la matassa che avvolge il processo di adozione e gestione di un sistema ERP. Il volume è strutturato in tre parti. La prima presenta le teorie e i modelli di analisi del processo di adozione dei sistemi ERP, evidenziando e chiarendo le fasi e le attività del processo nonchè il ruolo degli attori coinvolti. La seconda parte del libro è dedicata alla presentazione di alcune prospettive teoriche "eccentriche" rispetto alle teorie classiche. La terza parte del libro tratta la prassi relativa all'adozione e implementazione dei sistemi ERP
Complementarities between behavioral integration and IT Use: Impacts on absorptive capacity and team effectiveness
No full textGiven the widespread adoption of organizational information technologies for coordination and communication, it is imperative to assess the value creating dynamics to leverage these technologies for organizational work. This research tests one such value dynamic related to complementarities processes. Complementarities are said to exist when presence of one factor increases the marginal returns to the other. We assess these complementary dynamics between behavioral integration processes and IT use processes in an organization. The study uses team as the level of analysis to assess IT impacts closer to the actual operationalization of technology. The results indicate the presence of positive synergies between IT usage and behavioral integration processes that enhance the absorptive capacity within a team. However, results also indicate significant differences in the nature of these effects according to the type of complement. A detailed discussion of the results is presented to highlight the key contributions of the study
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Hybrid Ways of Working in the Digital Era in Italy: Key Questions for Moving Forward
No full textBeginning with a reconstruction of the issues in the international debate about the ‘new’ ways of working and spatial-temporal configurations of hybrid work and organizing, this chapter traces the most recent Italian scientific discussions on this topic. As remote working practices were unusual before the pandemic, and managerial and work cultures were generally deeply anchored in traditional office work, the organizational and cultural change brought about by the flexible paradigm is particularly interesting in Italy and may lead to inequalities, contestation, and resistance. Based on some inductive traces from ongoing empirical research field on hybrid forms of flexible working and organizing in Italy, this chapter raises questions about topologies, boundaries, and mobility matters in and around organization that can help with understanding and theorizing ongoing changes of work. The insights suggest the post-pandemic need to address spatial-temporal configurations as emergent becomings through which workers make sense of organization and consider—both in theorization and organizational practice—issues of equity that can arise from hybrid forms of working and organizing

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
