Career diversity and project performance in the Italian television industry
No full textThis paper contributes to boundaryless career research by focusing on how past diversity in the career patterns acquired across prior project-based industries and within the same project-based industry may influence current project performance. This study examines the “knowing how” elements accumulated in the past by team members across and within project-based industries as career-related measures of diversity. To address this issue, this paper analyzes the creative context of Italian TV drama series production teams by investigating the career patterns of 1,736 actors who worked in this industry from 1996 to 2010. To quantify the differences between career patterns, optimal matching analysis, is used.
This study finds an inverted U-shaped relationship between past career diversity accumulated across project-based industries and current project-performance; the study finds further that past career diversity achieved within the same project-based industry negatively moderates the inverted U-shaped relationship between past career diversity accumulated across project-based industries and current project-performance. These findings are consistent with the idea that the two patterns of career achievement – across project-based industries and within the same project-based industry – are not complementary but rather serve as imperfect substitutes

negli studi di management. I manager delle imprese che operano in questo settore sono
chiamati a combinare continuamente ambiguità e dinamismo, che in alcuni casi sono elementi intrinseci dei prodotti stessi. In tali contesti, diventa quindi fondamentale gestire
le tensioni che derivano da opposti imperativi.
In primo luogo si deve conciliare l’espressione di valori artistici con quelli dell’economia di
intrattenimento di massa. Un secondo aspetto riguarda la necessità di apportare continuamente elementi di novità nei prodotti stessi in modo da renderli unici. Infine, costruire dei sistemi creativi volti ad incentivare l’ispirazione del talento individuale, che è alla base della creazione del
valore nelle imprese creative. Quest’ultime, sono definite da Izzo e Masiello (2015) come
imprese che producono beni e servizi ad alta intensità creativa, la cui natura distintiva
risiede nel contenuto dell’offerta, nell’esperienza promessa agli utilizzatori, nel grado di coinvolgimento del cliente e nella percezione sensoriale dei consumatori.
Alla luce di queste considerazioni, una delle sfide con cui maggiormente si confrontano le
organizzazioni delle industrie creative è la gestione delle risorse umane per cui si pone un
problema sia in fase di reclutamento che di mantenimento

No full textThis paper investigates key successful factors in the Italian motion picture industry,
with a major focus on human and relational capital as a driver of competitive advantage.
So far in the creative industries this concept assumes a particular relevance, taking into
consideration that the know-how is often spread in social networks of professionals
belonging to different communities of artists. Therefore, the capability of quickly
reconfiguring these competences into specific projects is a critical issue (Lampel and
Shamsie, 2000 and 2003). Moreover, intangible assets play an important role within
these industries. Based on a research on more than one thousand movie projects
produced in the Italian cluster, this paper tries to address the role of intangible factors in

Team composition and project-based organizations: new perspectives for human resource management
No full textStrategic Human Capital, Team Composition and Project Team Performance: The role of flexibility and experience
No full textThis chapter seeks to explore what characteristic of human capital at the individual level links to the performance in project-based organizations (PBOs). In particular, we are interested in the enriching of the individual flexibility construct, which has received minimal investigation from the strategic literature. Moreover, the challenges inherent to this topic are arguably more acute in PBOs, where temporary teams are strategically relevant to the success of the performance and individuals need to be more flexible in order to contribute to high levels of project performance. In particular, we support the idea that the flexibility of members enrolled within teams may influence positively the project performance
