Crossing borders with social media: Online social networks and FDI
2017
Abstract Social media is embedded in today's internationalization strategy. Companies extend their reach into foreign countries by posting and tweeting. Firms also enhance their mobile capabilities in foreign markets (e.g., knowledge and reputation) through user-generated content in online social networks. Levering on the capabilities-based theory of the multinational enterprise, this paper builds upon a resource-based, industry/network-based, and institution-based view framework. The study provides a comprehensive conceptual and empirical model to explain the effect of social networks on foreign direct investment. Empirical analysis in a global panel dataset of >4500 multinational enterpri…
Migranti e ossessione securitaria. Il razzismo e la destra in Europa
2020
In this contribution, Pirrone observes and explains how the obsession with security is the result of great manipulation by the dominant forces and how racism becomes the ideology useful for legitimizing, for the purposes of economic exploitation, the practices of underseating migrants. The world capitalist liberalism - argues the author - represents migrants as the enemies of the way of life and well-being of rich countries and building an imaginary imaginary inspired by the idea of a threatening "invasion", agreeing on the one hand to hide the defeat induced by neoliberal domination and, on the other, to regulate and collectiveize the native and foreign workforce. In particular attention t…
La tetra notte della ragione. L'ossessione della sicurezza, l'onda lunga del razzismo e il riemergere del nazifascismo in Europa
2018
La criminalizzazione delle migrazioni, oltre a rivelarsi funzionale al mantenimento della disuguaglianza giuridica, politica e sociale degli immigrati, precondizione per il controllo e lo sfruttamento della mobilità umana straniera in modo coerente per gli attuali assetti dell’economia capitalistica, è anche una modalità per distogliere l’attenzione dell’opinione pubblica da tutti i problemi generati dal neoliberismo mondiale, e il razzismo diviene al contempo ideologia che legittima tale discriminazione e valvola di sfogo del malessere sociale ed economico indirizzato verso un nuovo capro espiatorio, come già successo in passato nella storia d’Europa. L’ossessione per la sicurezza si rivel…

Using the concept of onomastic literacy as an analytical tool : A methodological examination of the names of European royal families
2022
Onomastic literacy (the skills needed to interpret the cultural and social phenomena and meanings related to name-giving) are part of a person’s cultural capital. I use this concept, which I have developed, to study personal names in family networks and in royal families in particular. This research combines the approaches and methodologies of collective biography, microhistory and the history of mentalities. The concept of onomastic literacy helps us to contextualize the lives of the research objects more closely as part of the cultures and local communities of their times, thereby revealing the deep-rooted motives behind name choices and the slow change in mentalities affecting naming. pe…
Study on the Correlation Between Working Capital and Economic Value Added for the Companies Relating to the Hotel and Restaurant Industry Listed on t…
2020
In the present study was determined the influence of the value change of the working capital on the variation of the economic value added indicator on a sample consisting of a number of 26 companies (2007-2017) belonging to the hotel and restaurant industry, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. The correlation between the indicators was achieved by using the multiple linear regression method. The study showed that there is a strong link between the two economic indicators, over 80% of the change in economic value being explained by the change in working capital. It was found that a 1% increase in working capital, for the period 2007-2017, had the effect of increasing the economic value a…
Early Career Women in Academia: An Exploration of Networking Perceptions
2016
This chapter explores women’s networking perceptions by focusing on early career women in social sciences. Within an exploratory research design it asks how early career women define the early career stage in academia, what definitions, meanings and interpretations they give for networks and networking, how they construct the networking process and their ability to establish and/or join networks, as early career researchers and as women. Based on two group interviews with 12 participants, our findings show that early career women in academia favour networking with peers based on shared interests (organic networking). At the same time though, they challenge and step over the perceived gender…

A critical re-examination of the academic literature on venture capital networks
2020
This paper proposes a critical re-examination of the recent trends of the literature on venture capital networks. This brief review thoroughly scrutinises three papers that are representative of the recent academic literature in this field of study. I identify their points of strength and limitations, in order to pave the way for future research. This paper shows that the study of network weak and informal ties and the role of risk management strategies are promising areas for pushing the frontiers of research on venture capital networks. Extending our knowledge on this topic is crucial to understand the best strategic decisions venture capital firms should take, as parts of an inter-organi…
