L'impresa moda responsabile. Integrare etica ed estetica nella filiera
No full textUn viaggio esplorativo sui legami tra moda e responsabilità d’impresa: con questa intenzione si dipana il percorso del libro. L’idea di fondo è che anche per le aziende del settore fashion l’equilibrio di lungo termine possa essere raggiunto solo integrando obiettivi economici di breve - irrinunciabili per la remunerazione di capitale e lavoro - con altri, non economici ma capaci di generare valore, che fanno riferimento al rapporto con l’ambiente, la società, la cultura, l’arte e il territorio, i media, le istituzioni, la legislazione e soprattutto la dimensione etica. La tesi si inserisce nel dibattito sul ruolo sociale dell’impresa, alla luce del fallimento di un modello di sviluppo che ha posto enfasi esclusivamente sui risultati finanziari immediati, a scapito di ogni attenzione alla compatibilità con il contesto ambientale e sociale. L’impresa moda responsabile trae per contro ispirazione e attinge risorse proprio da questi due macrocontesti, per poi restituire compensi e contributi in una logica di scambio. Programmi di riduzione dell’impatto ambientale, la promozione del territorio, la garanzia di ambienti di lavoro salutari e stimolanti, la qualità dei prodotti, la promozione della cultura attraverso azioni filantropiche, l’avvio di collaborazioni artistiche con finanziamenti e donazioni, la realizzazione di musei aziendali sono tutti aspetti illustrati attraverso l’esempio concreto di aziende che da anni hanno deciso di perseguire la difficile sfida di integrare etica, estetica ed economicità nella filiera. Nella moda stiamo infatti assistendo a quanto si è già verificato nel settore enogastronomico: prodotti artigianali e di alta qualità stanno cambiando radicalmente il modello di consumo, con un ritorno a valori, significati e metodi di produzione dell’era preindustriale, senza nostalgie per il passato ma anzi incorporando nel prodotto, nella comunicazione e nella distribuzione nuove tecnologie e nuove esigenze, immateriali ed emozionali, in grado di generare utili
The responsible fashion company: integrating ethics and aesthetics in the value chain
No full textIn The Responsible Fashion Company , Rinaldi and Testa argue that the fashion industry is at a crossroads: the need for a global shift to a sustainable model has never been more urgent. Yet, they demonstrate that we are witnessing a revolution led by conscious consumers and enlightened companies, who are redefining the rules of the fashion market. The question is: when will the rest of the industry catch up?
Rinaldi and Testa raise a fundamental but often neglected issue in the fashion sustainability debate: long-term equilibrium can only be achieved by integrating economic goals with environmental, social and ethical values. The Responsible Fashion Company provides a clear overview of the theory, challenges and opportunities of sustainability in the industry and demonstrates how fashion companies can achieve competitive advantage through sustainable innovation. The authors show how leading fashion companies are challenging traditional thinking and present inspiring examples from pioneers such as Gucci, Levis, Timberland and Brunello Cucinelli, who create quality products without leaving a negative impact behind.
Refreshing and timely, The Responsible Fashion Company is essential reading for the socially conscious consumer and anyone with a professional or personal interest in the fashion, design and luxury industrie
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
