No full textCorporate Venture Capitalists' Ambidexterity: Myth or Truth?
No full textA growing number of studies highlight how organizational ambidexterity is vital for business competitive advantage. Although the number of studies on ambidexterity has substantially expanded in the past few years, the results have often been disappointing, particularly for focalized segments of organizations. Starting from these considerations, this paper analyzes corporate venture capitalists' (CVCs) activities. Even though the most important research on the ambidexterity of CVCs was conducted by Hill and Birkinshaw in 2014, the ambidexterity of CVCs has so far been studied very little. Starting from an analysis of quantitative data, at both the descriptive and inferential levels, this paper aims at building a conceptual contextualization to understand how CVCs can be considered with regard to ambidexterity (ambidextrous, hybrid, or dis-ambidextrous, as proposed in this paper) and how they can manifest this capability
La Knowledge Sharing tra imprese e territorio per la creazione di uno sviluppo identitario sostenibile
No full textIl lavoro propone un framework teorico per un possibile sviluppo identitario impreseterritorio basato sulla Knowledge Sharing, attivata lungo le tre dimensioni dello
sviluppo sostenibile. In quanto processo di interazione sociale questa, infatti, risponde
alla prospettiva della Stakeholder Causal Scope (SCS), che considera il
coinvolgimento coma la “possibility of contributing mutually beneficial value among
the key stakeholders or value network”. Per verificare l’adeguatezza delle variabili
individuate per la finalità indicata, è stato realizzato uno studio empirico condotto su
301 imprese agroalimentari operanti all’interno di consorzi di tutela italiani. I dati
rilevati sono stati rielaborati attraverso una Exploratory Factor Analysis che ha
permesso di identificare 6 aree di condivisione della conoscenza tra imprese ed attori
del territorio lungo le quali è possibile costruire un percorso di sviluppo identitario. I
risultati della ricerca offrono utili indicazioni per la definizione di strategie di cocreazione di sviluppo sostenibile di un territorio nella prospettiva di partnerships for
the goals and its significance for sustainable Growth (Agenda 2030)
Millennial generation preferences for rosé wine: An exploratory study of the Italian and French markets
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to verify the preferences for the purchase of rosé wine by Italian and French Millennials, with the aim of allowing Italian companies to acquire knowledge in improving the positioning of this product in both the Italian and French markets. Design/methodology/approach: The study involved a descriptive survey conducted between December 2018 and January 2019 on Millennials residing in Italy and France, intercepted via Facebook. In total, 500 valid responses to a highly structured self-administered questionnaire were collected. Descriptive and multivariate analysis techniques were used to examine the responses. Findings: The two groups of Millennials show different preferences in the purchase of rosé wine. French Millennials rarely buy the product, and perhaps only for reasonable prices. Their purchasing process involves no characteristics of particular importance. On the other hand, Italian Millennials buy the product with a higher frequency and show a greater propensity to spend. In general, they attribute greater importance (though not a great deal of importance) to the characteristics of the product, paying attention to both its intrinsic aspects and its territorial origin and the quality certifications. Research limitations/implications: The main limitation of the research is the small sample size. Future insights into the consumption of rosé wine will be sought in other significant European markets. Practical implications: This study is of value to academic researchers, wine industry practitioners and other members of the wine distribution channel, as it provides insights into consumer behavior differences. Originality/value: This research is the first to compare rosé wine preferences of Millennials in France and Italy
A novel view on knowledge sharing in the agri-food sector
No full textPurpose
Nowadays, the agri-food sector is facing several challenges due to a rapid technological change which calls for knowledge sharing (KS) practices to enhance businesses’ performance. This has spurred a collaborative approach and the creation of networks. Since there still is a paucity of research on the quality degree of KS, the purpose of this study is to offer an empirical research on the quality degree of KS by exploring outcome expectations and social exchange dimensions. Theoretically, it is examined by a double lens of social capital and social cognitive theory.
Design/methodology/approach
This study offers an empirical analysis of 313 directors of 11 “consortia” in the agri-food sector in Italy by using the fuzzy expert system. The model allows to aggregate multi criteria dimensions of KS and rates its quality.
Findings
As resulted, the quality degree of KS is influenced by outcome expectations – personal and community expectations – and three forms of dimensions of social exchange: structural, relational and cognitive. The paper ends with a discussion of research findings, its limitations and implications.
Originality/value
As there is still a paucity of research on the determinants of quality degree of KS, the research adopts a double lens of social capital and social cognitive theories to explore what are these determinants
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
La “social communication” nel settore vinicolo: vini pugliesi vs vini globali
No full textrappresentative (blogger e follower) assumono nel processo di riconoscimento di un prodotto da parte di altri
consumatori e sulla crescita della notorietà degli stessi.
In accordo con tale prospettiva, la ricerca si pone di osservare se tale tipologia comunicativa possa
rappresentare un luogo in cui evidenziare e valorizzare i driver identitari del vino ed, in particolare, di quello
pugliese, in modo da renderli riconoscibili e visibili nella competizione internazionale.
L’obiettivo della ricerca è, dunque, quello di comprendere se la conoscenza degli UGC (user generated
content) può agevolare i processi comunicativi sul Web per incrementare la notorietà dei vitigni e dei vini
autoctoni, con lo scopo di garantire loro un’adeguata forza competitiva a livello internazionale.
Ambito di osservazione sono le produzioni vinicole Made in Puglia, per le quali si è scelto di seguire una
strategia qualitativa e identitaria, basata sulla valorizzazione dei vitigni autoctoni: Negroamaro, Primitivo e
Nero di Troia. Utilizzando gli strumenti di text-mining, nello specifico impiegando l’Analisi Tematica dei Contesti
Elementari, gli UGC relativi ai tre vitigni autoctoni pugliesi oggetto di studio sono stati confrontati con quelli
che riferiscono a tre cosiddetti vini globali, cioè quei vini non tipicamente collegati al territorio d’origine.
Il lavoro ha permesso di identificare i driver su cui viene basata la comunicazione dei vini autoctoni
(Negroamaro, Primitivo, Nero di Troia) e globali (Pinot, Sauvignon e Chardonnay) nei contenuti prodotti da
wine blogger, consentendo la verifica di similarità e differenze comunicative tra due tipologie di vino in
concorrenza tra loro e che, come tali, necessitano di aumentare la loro riconoscibilità.
Si è così potuto osservare che per i vini internazionali, i wine blogger parlano del vino attraverso il racconto
delle sue caratteristiche organolettiche e sensoriali, nonché tramite i servizi complementari offerti, quali
elementi imprescindibili al fine di valutare e trasmettere la qualità del prodotto. Per le produzioni vinicole
pugliesi, invece, i wine blogger, pur legando le produzioni al territorio, utilizzano riferimenti generici.
L’analisi del contenuto si è dimostrata, dunque, rilevante in termini conoscitivi, poiché ha permesso di
individuare una linea guida fondamentale per la comunicazione online dei vini autoctoni: puntare
sull’ampliamento della loro riconoscibilità, ponendo l’enfasi su elementi come la storia, le tradizioni, gli usi, i
costumi, le condizioni pedoclimatiche e paesaggistiche, i metodi di produzione consolidatisi nel tempo.
In altri termini, lo stretto legame che esiste con il territorio di origine deve divenire il file rouge del racconto,
poiché in tal modo si riesce a trasmettere l’autenticità e l’unicità tipica di un prodotto autoctono. La
valorizzazione della dimensione culturale delle produzioni vinicole pugliesi può generare awareness e, quindi,
far divenire l’identità territoriale elemento di differenziazione di tali prodotti da quelli globa
