This book aims to cover about a decade of research activities devoted to university management, exploring its specific organizational complexity, and adopting systemic approaches to managing its performance generation mechanisms. It also draws on the field experience spent as the academic delegate for scientific support to strategic planning, management control, performance evaluation, and statistical reporting at the University of Palermo, Italy. This work is included in a series on “System Dynamics for Performance Management.” The fast-changing evolutionary process of global higher education systems systematically poses new challenges related to the appearance of innovative elements that …

Liberalizing Industrial Relations in Southern-Europe: Towards the End of a Coordinated and Egalitarian Model
2016
The paper focuses on the changes that occurred to the architecture of industrial relations in Southern-European countries during the last decade. In particular, the bargaining systems of Italy, France, Spain, Greece and Portugal are compared, with a particular attention to the legislative measures enacted under the influence of international institutions after the 2008 financial and sovereign debt crisis. The theoretical framework, under which the process of transformation is analysed, is the literature on comparative politics as recently reviewed by Thelen. At the same time, the work takes into account the labour law dogmatic category of "inderogability", represented by the couple law-bran…
La scoperta di un paradigma complesso. L'«Unternehmen» nel diritto commerciale e nella dottrina austro-tedesca del primo Novecento
2010
Dai primi anni del Novecento, senza una precisa definizione legislativa, senza un tessuto normativo coerente ed univoco, la scienza giuridica austro-tedesca ripensò in profondità la nuova realtà economico-sociale dell’Europa industriale, scoprendo e giuridicamente rappresentando, in tempo di «individualismo atomizzante», la dimensione collettiva ed organizzativa del fenomeno imprenditoriale. Il diritto patrimoniale, fino ad allora terreno privilegiato della proprietà, si impregnava di diritto dell’economia, con al centro l’«Unternehmen», quale paradigma collettivo e complesso che, secondo il messaggio divulgato da Ohmeyer, Pisko, Müller-Erzbach, Isay, Geller, ripudiava ogni chiave di lettur…
La consulenza di strategia e controllo nelle imprese familiari: un caso di studio
2019
Sebbene la consulenza aziendale di strategia e controllo di gestione nelle imprese familiari sia un argomento di crescente rilevanza nel mondo accademico e operativo, sono ancora pochi gli studi empirici sul tema. Lo scopo di questo articolo è quello di esplorare, attraverso lo studio di un caso aziendale, come il processo di consulenza sia di supporto alla strategia nelle imprese familiari. Nello specifico, si focalizza l’attenzione sulla rilevanza strategica e sulle modalità di utilizzo di strumenti di pianificazione e controllo, nonché sulle interrelazioni che si possono innescare tra il consulente, l’area responsabile del controllo di gestione e la proprietà.
Dealing with Multi-Level Governance and Wicked Problems in Urban Transportation Systems: The Case of Palermo Municipality
2015
Italian New Public Management (NPM) has been mainly characterized by a political orientation toward power decentralization to local governments and privatization of public companies. Nowadays, local utilities in Italy are often run by joint stock companies controlled by public agencies such as Regional and Municipal Administrations. Due to this transformation, these companies must comply with a set of diverse expectations coming from a wide range of stakeholders, related to their financial, competitive and social performance. Such fragmented governance increases the presence of “wicked” problems in the decision-making sphere of these entities. Given this multi-level governance structure, ho…

Designing a Multi‐Sided Platform business model assessment framework: a Dynamic Performance Management perspective
2019
The purpose of this research is to offer an assessment framework to validate multisided platform business models. For this aim, we propose a systemic perspective based on the dynamic performance management approach. This approach is particularly effective to make explicit the net of relationships between internal and external strategic resources, the value creation and capture drivers, and the way such drivers influence platform performances. The developed multisided platform business model assessment framework has been tested by using a success and a failure case, respectively, Airbnb and Take Eat Easy. Research originality results from the combination of multisided platform value creation…
A feedback view of behavioural distortions from perceived public service gaps at ‘street‐level’ policy implementation: The case of unintended outcome…
2020
This paper discusses the limitations and risks associated with the use of output-oriented measures to assess public school performance. In particular, it questions the capability of the performance measures set by external institutions, with respect to schools, to support sustainable educational outcomes. To this end, the ‘street-level bureaucracy’ theory is used in the paper as a basis to analyse the behavioural distortions generated by perceived public service gaps at school level policy implementation. Such unintended behavioural effects are often a major cause of disappointing outcomes when test-based accountability systems are adopted. In the second part of the paper, an insight model …
L’innovazione nell’organizzazione d’impresa
2013
Scopo di questo scritto è fornire un quadro di insieme dei fenomeni che spiegano l’innovazione nei sistemi organizzativi d’impresa. Il lavoro si avvale del contributo della teoria del comportamento organizzativo, un campo di studi interdisciplinare relativamente giovane il cui fine è la comprensione e la gestione del comportamento delle persone nei contesti lavorativi (Organizationl Behavior). I livelli di base degli studi di comportamento organizzativo sono convenzionalmente tre: l’individuo, il gruppo e l’organiz-zazione. L’assunto di fondo di questa prospettiva di analisi è che i compor-tamenti delle organizzazioni e dei membri che ne fanno parte siano il risultato di un complessa intera…
