No full textEvidence of over 350 citations recorded by the articles published in the 2010 special issue on “The Age of Temporary Advantage” of the Strategic Management Journal shows that the inquiry on temporary nature of competitive advantage is an emergent research area in strategic management. They also exhibit that, most likely, it is going to be a significant research area for the coming years. To assess the current status of the literature as well as to fathom the directions and challenges of future research on temporary advantage, we review prior empirical research on temporary advantage so as to offer a conceptual map that provides a comprehensive appreciation of antecedents, processes, and consequences of temporary advantage. We then advance a research agenda on temporary competitive advantage
Innovating and transforming during COVID-19: insights from Italian firms
No full textDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, a huge number of firms had to stop their activities due to the lockdown situation that has been decided in most countries. However, to contribute to the many emergencies caused by the pandemic through purpose-led actions, many of those firms have reacted with innovative projects and changes in their manufacturing activities. In this paper, we address why and how these efforts have been implemented and how the situation of these firms evolved after the peak of the health crisis. Drawing on the literature about the purpose and R&D/innovation management concerning health emergency, we develop a conceptual framework to understand how different types of purpose-led actions (i.e., short term and/or long term) and different R&D management strategies (i.e., exploitation or exploration of R&D, innovation, and manufacturing competencies) can characterize firms’ rapid response for the benefit of the community in the fight against COVID-19, for example through the provision of medical equipment or other products and services. We validate the framework using the cases of 21 Italian firms which have taken very fast actions during the peak of the COVID-19 emergency

d.verse. Primo Festival Internazionale del Teatro per le Diverse Abilità
No full textNell’ambito delle manifestazioni per Genova 2004 Capitale Europea della Cultura, si è svolto a Genova, fra il 4 ottobre e il 26 novembre 2004, "d.verse. Primo Festival Internazionale del Teatro per le Diverse Abilità" organizzato dal Centro Studi per l’integrazione lavorativa dei disabili della ASL 3 “Genovese” in collaborazione con l’associazione culturale “la Milonga” e il Laboratorio Teatrale Integrato Tuttinscena, con il sostegno della Provincia di Genova e della Regione Liguria, il patrocinio dell'Università degli Studi di Genova, e la collaborazione di otto teatri genovesi. Responsabile: Maria Paola Ferrigno; Progettazione artistica: Cristina Valenti; Coordinamento artistico: Sandro Baldacci. In conclusione, il convegno "D.verse Abilità e Teatro", occasione che ha consentito a studiosi, attori, registi e scrittori di interrogarsi sulle nuove frontiere del teatro come strumento di integrazione e sul peculiare apporto che artisti “diversamente abili” possono dare alla rappresentazione artistica. Il cartellone ha ospitato alcune fra le più importanti compagnie di teatro integrato, e di compagnie composte da attori disabili, che operano in Italia e in Europa. Il Festival si è aperto con il musical “l’Anima Buona del Pianeta Sezuan” del Laboratorio Tuttinscena: trenta ragazzi, di cui una buona parte portatori di handicap, provenienti da dieci scuole genovesi, per la regia di M. Pirovano e M. Bonomi. A seguire: “Microphobia” e “The Human Suite”, due coreografie della CandoCo Dance Company di Londra, una compagnia di danza contemporanea formata da danzatori disabili e normodotati, leader nella formazione e nell’educazione alla danza integrata; “La Sirena di Rodari” del Laboratorio Teatrale Integrato Piero Gabrielli di Roma, per la regia di R. Gandini: tredici “ex” del laboratorio in uno spettacolo che ha dato vita alla prima Compagnia Italiana Integrata di Teatro Ragazzi; “Esopo Opera Rock”, musical per la regia di S. Baldacci, frutto di un laboratorio integrato che ha coinvolto i centri diurni della Città di Imperia, il DAMS di Genova e operatori socio sanitari; “No Exit”, regia di A. Viganò, della compagnia francese Oiseau Mouche, finanziata dallo stato e composta da attori professionisti portatori di handicap; “Ritratti” di Lenz Rifrazioni di Parma per la regia di M.F. Maestri: cinque ritratti del mito occidentale resi con eccezionale forza rappresentativa delle attrici diversamente abili ; “Filottete H” di Maccabeteatro per la regia di E. Toma: ispirato a Sofocle, lo spettacolo, con attori portatori di handicap, tratteggia la difficoltà di accettare l’idea di non essere perfetti.
A conclusione del ciclo di rappresentazioni, il convegno dal titolo "D.verse Abilità e Teatro". Interventi di E. Buonaccorsi (Università di Genova ), M.P. Ferrigno (Centro Studi della ASL 3 “Genovese”), G. Oliva (Università Cattolica di Milano), C. Valenti (Università di Bologna), A. Celestini (attore e regista), R. Frati (Teatro dell’Oppresso di Parigi), T. Scarpa (scrittore), D. Segre (regista). In chiusura: “A proposito di sentimenti”, mediometraggio di D. Segre. Il Festival si è concluso con la performance “Emplacement Reservé”, che Rui Frati ha rappresentato con i suoi attori e con il coinvolgimento diretto del pubblico presente. Le disavventure di una madre “speciale” a causa delle circostanze che coinvolgono sua figlia disabile. Un modo dinamico e vitale affinché il dibattito e l’atto teatrale siano un unico corpo
R&D alliance partner attributes and innovation performance: a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis
No full textPurpose: Drawing upon the importance of research and development (R&D) alliances in driving firm innovation performance, extant research has analyzed individually the impact of R&D alliance partner attributes on firm innovation performance. Despite such analyzes, research has generally underestimated the configurations of partner attributes leading to firm innovation performance. This research gap is interesting to explore, as firms involved in R&D alliances usually face a combination of partner attributes. Moreover, gaining a better understanding of how R&D partner attributes tie into configurations is an issue that is attracting particular interest in coopetition research and alliance literature. This paper aims to obtain a better knowledge of this underrated, but important, aspect of alliances by exploring what configurations of R&D alliance partner attributes lead firms involved in R&D alliances to achieve high innovation performance. To tackle this question, first, this study reviews the extant literature on R&D alliances by relying on the knowledge-based view of alliances to identify the most impactful partner attributes on firms’ innovation performance. This paper then applies a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the configurations of R&D alliance partner attributes that lead firms involved in R&D alliances to achieve high innovation performance. Design/methodology/approach: This study selects 27 R&D alliances formed worldwide in the telecom industry. This paper explores the multiple configurations of partner attributes of these alliances by conducting a fsQCA. Findings: The findings of the fsQCA show that the two alternate configurations of partner attributes guided the firms involved in these alliances to achieve high innovation performance: a configuration with extensive partner technological relatedness and coopetition, but no experience; and a configuration with extensive partner experience and competition, but no technological relatedness. Research limitations/implications: The research highlights the importance of how partner attributes (i.e. partner technological relatedness, partner competitive overlap, partner experience and partner relative size) tie, with regard to the firms’ access to external knowledge and consequently to their willingness to achieve high innovation performance. Moreover, this paper reveals the beneficial effect of competition on the innovation performance of the firms involved in R&D alliances when some of the other knowledge-based partner attributes are considered. Despite these insights for alliance and coopetition literature, some limitations are to be noted. First, some of the partners’ attributes considered could be further disentangled into sub-partner attributes. Second, other indicators might be used to measure firms’ innovation performance. Third, as anticipated this study applies fsQCA to explore the combinatory effects of partner attributes in the specific context of R&D alliances in the telecom industry worldwide and in a specific time window. This condition may question the extensibility of the results to other industries and times. Practical implications: This study also bears two interesting implications for alliance managers. First, the paper suggests that R&D alliance managers need to be aware that potential alliance partners have multiple attributes leading to firm innovation performance. In this regard, partner competitive overlap is particularly important for gaining a better understanding of firm innovation performance. When looking for strategic partners, managers should try to ally with highly competitive enterprises so as to access their more innovative knowledge. Second, the results also highlight that this beneficial effect of coopetition in R&D alliances can be amplified in two ways. On the one hand, when the partners involved in the alliance have not yet developed experience in forming alliances. Partners without previous experience supply ideal stimuli to unlock more knowledge in the alliance because new approaches to access and develop knowledge in the alliance could be explored. On the other hand, this paper detects the situation when the allied partners are developing technologies and products in different areas. When partnering with firms coming from different technological areas, the knowledge diversity that can be leveraged in the alliances could drive alliance managers to generate synergies and economies of scope within the coopetitive alliance. Originality/value: Extant research has analyzed individually the impact of R&D alliance partner attributes on firm innovation performance but has concurrently underestimated the configurations of partner attributes leading to firm innovation performance. Therefore, this paper differs from previous studies, as it provides an understanding of the specific configurations of R&D alliance partner attributes leading firms involved in R&D alliances to achieve high innovation performance
