Rethinking the university system: toward the entrepreneurial university (the case of Italy)
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate contemporary changes in the education system. In
particular, an analysis of the mechanisms of coordination and communication involved in the process can
show how different geographical factors with different relational mechanisms may contribute to the creation
of a new academic entrepreneurship.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors propose a methodology with two-step approach. In the
first part of the paper, they use a theoretical approach to carry out a longitudinal study of academic literature
on the topics of “entrepreneurial university,” “academic entrepreneurship” and “spin-off organizations.” In the
second part, they use cross-database analysis to theorize the main aspects of recent developments in higher
education in Italy. To this end, the authors use three public and open-access databases on spin-offs,
universities and higher education institutions and incubators in Italy.
Findings – First, issues relating to the formation and best practices of entrepreneurial universities are
discussed, based on the works of researchers from 25 countries. Second, a hypothesis is put forward to suggest
that the organizational model of entrepreneurial university affects microeconomic competitiveness. Third, a
case study of Italian spin-off organizations suggests that the number of incubators and spin-offs, and the type
of academic knowledge, all directly affect the entrepreneurial university.
Originality/value – This paper aims to examine the role of the university in the modern economic system.
The originality of this investigation lies in its ability to offer a picture and first analysis of the main actors and
of the entrepreneurial university system
Corporate Museum and Organizational Memory in AgriFood Organization Sector
No full textThe competitive environment is becoming more complex. For this reason, it is called VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous). Firms must identify new ways to maintain and increase their competitive advantage. Firms based their competitive advantage on the enhancement of knowledge and innovation. From this perspective, despite the vast literature on KM, corporate museums represent a little observed phenomenon. Corporate museums represent a new mechanism for the enhancement of knowledge and organizational memory. Despite this, studies on corporate museums focus only on the aspects of marketing and corporate branding. Few studies have addressed this phenomenon from the point of view of organizational memory and knowledge transfer. This study fits into this gap in the academic debate. From the point of view of organizational theory, the study analyzes the phenomenon of the corporate museum as a mechanism for transferring knowledge and organizational memory. This work uses a descriptive qualitative methodology. The study analyzes information from a public dataset. The analyzes focus on corporate museums in Italy, with particular attention to the agri-food sector. The results of this study highlight that the corporate museum assumes a strategic value to reduce the risk of “organizational oblivion” and increase the sharing of organizational culture. This study offers some initial observations on the phenomenon of the business museum and on the relationship with organizational memor
Organizational Memory and Knowledge Transfer in Agri-Food Organization: the Corporate Museum Way
No full textCorporate museums represent an unexplored phenomenon under various aspects. In fact, numerous studies on corporate museum focus on marketing aspects. Although, the first corporate museums appeared in the early 1900s, few studies have addressed this phenomenon from the perspective of organizational memory and the transfer of knowledge. This study fits into this gap in the literature. From the perspective of organizational theory, the study analyzes the phenomenon of the corporate museum as a mechanism for knowledge transfer and organizational memory. To achieve this goal, this work uses a descriptive qualitative methodology, based on the analysis of a public dataset. The corporate museums in Italy were analyzed, with particular attention to the agri-food sector. The results of this study, highlight that the corporate museum assumes a strategic value to reduce the risk of “organizational forgetting” and increase the sharing of organizational culture. This study offers some first observations on the phenomenon of the corporate museum and the relationship with organizational memor

Rethink university system: toward entrepreneurial university
No full textPurpose – The role of knowledge has become increasingly important in the modern economic system. The knowledge is the main strategic asset for the creation and growth of new firms. For this reason, the higher educational system play a role in the national innovation process. The main objective of this exploratory study investigates on modern changes in the education system of today. The study will be to understand the relational context in the process of creating academic spin-offs (ASOs). In particular, the analysis of the coordination and relation mechanisms in the process can show how different geographies factors, with different mechanism of relations, can favour the creation of new academic entrepreneurship.
Design/methodology/approach – Analysis of entrepreneurial universities are based on the views
of many famous scientists, namely, Audretsch (2014), Awbrey (2003), Etzkowitz and Zhou (2008), Guerrero et al. (2016), Rasmussen and Wright (2015), Walshok and Shapiro (2014), Jacob et al. (2003), Dominici and Levanti (2015), Sharif and Baark (2008), Wright and Fu (2015) etc. We propose an approach divided in two-step. In the first step we want to make a longitudinal study on literature of educational system, academic entrepreneurship and spinoffs. In particular, we want to understand the main challenges that the higher educational system faces in the
modern economic system.
In the second phase, by a cross analysis of databases we will attempt to theorize the main aspects
of the recent changes on higher educational system. The first database7 created from the collaboration between the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Polytechnic University of Marche, Netval and Institute of Management of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, which collects all the spin-offs in Italy. The data have been observed until the date of 08/14/2016.
At that date, the spin-offs appear to be no. 1287. The large number of sample being analyzed has allowed highlighting different aspects of the phenomenon. The other databases include the data on incubators and universities9 in Italy. All databases are public. In this work, we use qualitative and descriptive tools.
Originality/value – The paper wants to examine the current role of the university in modern economic system. The originality of this investigation lies in its ability to offer a picture and first analysis about main actors and of the entrepreneurial university system. In particular, we offer several consideration about the entrepreneurial university and spin-off system. The continuous changes of university system generates profound on academic spinoff. This study highlights these changes.
Practical implications – The outcomes of this study have different implications. First of all the
results will help the university to better manage the process of changes and exploitation of the academic knowledge through the spin-off creation. At the same time, the findings can help the external actors of the university to understand the business opportunities based on academic knowledge and competitive advantage in the market
Il contratto di rete e la gestione delle risorse umane. Inquadramento normativo del fenomeno
No full textIl 2018 è stato definito da più parti l’anno del ritorno alla terra da parte dei giovani.
L’Italia, con quasi 55mila aziende agricole giovanili, è, infatti, il primo Paese in Europa
per la presenza di giovani agricoltori sotto i trentacinque anni. Tra il 2016 e il 2017 si è
riscontrato un aumento del 6% dei cosiddetti Millennial farmers.
I giovani non sembrano spaventati dalle problematiche operative e gestionali
dell’agroalimentare, che unisce le peculiarità dell’economia del settore primario – di
complicata razionalizzazione – alle più consuete logiche di mercato del mondo industriale.
In questo scenario nasce il Convegno Nazionale dell’Unione Giovani Dottori Commercialisti
ed Esperti Contabili che si terrà a Foggia dal 4 al 5 ottobre 2018, dal tema “Il
dottore commercialista attore nell’Agri-food italiano: analisi del business e strategie per la crescita”

Agri-Food Firms and Knowledge in Uncertain Times: A Research Agenda
No full textThe current competitive context - highly uncertain and rapidly changing - requires organizations to exploit resources such as knowledge and innovation. The introduction of new knowledge within organizations represents a response to the changes and uncertainty of the competitive environment. Not all organizations are able to generate new knowledge - useful for generating competitive advantage - internally. For this reason, they must establish inter-organizational relationships with the main producers and disseminators of new knowledge. The main producers and disseminators of new knowledge are the Universities and Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). There is a strong integration between the university system and the business system. For this reason, understanding the relationships between organizations and universities represents a perspective of analysis as a response to uncertainty. This study is based on a systemic review of the literature methodology. The literature review is based on two multidisciplinary databases (SCOPUS and WEB of SCIENCE). Subsequently, the selected scientific documents - through a search string and following the PRISMA protocol (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes) - were processed through bibliometric software to highlight some aspects of the scientific landscape such as co-citation analysis, keywords most used and relationship between keywords. The results of this study offer a mapping of the main theories on agrifood firms and inter-organizational relationships with university structures - under the perspective of knowledge management - as a response to the continuous changes of the external environmen
