Introduction to Integrating Knowledge and Learning Processes Minitrack
2013
This minitrack discusses knowledge management (KM) from an integrated perspective, i.e., the integration of KM, learning, and business processes. It mainly focuses on two issues: a) how can knowledge, learning and business processes integrated, and b) how can the related systems be integrated to enable an efficient workflow. Currently, even less learning environments take context and environment into account. Using mobile and ubiquitous technologies can lead to a paradigm shift in the construction of such learning environments: from static to highly contextualized knowledge and learning experiences. Based on the integration of knowledge and learning systems into social networks and social m…
How news affect the trading behavior of different categories of investors in a financial market
2015
We investigate the trading behavior of a large set of single investors trading the highly liquid Nokia stock over the period 2003-2008 with the aim of determining the relative role of endogenous and exogenous factors that may affect their behavior. As endogenous factors we consider returns and volatility, whereas the exogenous factors we use are the total daily number of news and a semantic variable based on a sentiment analysis of news. Linear regression and partial correlation analysis of data show that different categories of investors are differently correlated to these factors. Governmental and non profit organizations are weakly sensitive to news and returns or volatility, and, typica…
Somali Associations’ Trajectories in Italy and in Finland: Leaders building trust and finding legitimisation
2013
Previous research on migrant associations has explained their formation and maintenance by highlighting migrant groups' cultural characteristics or the political opportunity structures (POS) available in the countries of settlement. Past research has also focused on associations in relation to migrants' political participation in the countries of settlement, applying the notion of social capital. The aim of this article is to enrich the debate on migrant associations by analysing their trajectories. This analysis will also make use of the concepts of POS and social capital. The article analyses Somali associations' developmental trajectories over time in two different settlement-country con…

Family Firm Heterogeneity and Tax Aggressiveness: A Quasi-Experimental Analysis of the Impact of Different Family Generations
2021
This paper analyses tax aggressiveness in family firm generations. Moreover, taking into account the heterogeneity in family firms, we check whether the successive generations in control show different tax avoidance behaviour. The empirical evidence, based on the quasi-experiment of the 2012 Spanish thin capitalization rule, reveals that there is a positive relationship between tax aggressiveness and successive generations. Moreover, the founder and second generations follow a similar conservative tax avoidance approach, whereas the third and fourth generations are found to be more tax aggressive.

Lógicas de justificación en el sector asociativo: un análisis a partir del discurso de trabajadores de la inserción laboral
2006
Este trabajo aborda el estudio del sector asociativo como un espacio social complejo sobre el que confluyen numerosas demandas sociales. Estas demandas se producen en un contexto sociopolítico vinculado a la transformación del Estado de Bienestar y una creciente precarización del trabajo en un mercado laboral segmentado, de modo que la "cuestión social" aparece con nuevos perfiles que la asocian a una creciente vulnerabilidad de amplios sectores de la población. En ese contexto es fundamental la respuesta de los diferentes agentes sociales En concreto es fundamental la participación de las entidades sin ánimo de lucro en la construcción de nuevos modelos "mixtos" de producción de bienestar.…
Territorial capital and the economic crisis: The role of spatial effects
2013
Activity-geospatial approach forms methodological basis of the concept of geospatial self-organization of a society as new theoretical paradigm of societal geography (SG) with next main principles: a) Self-organization of society and its key subsystems (economical, social, political, spiritual) in specifically localised natural and societal qualities of geospace (Earth's surface space) forms the process of geospatial self-organization of a society and its results - geospatial interests, processes, systems, structures as societal-geospatial phenomena of different scale (global, regional, local, etc.). So societal processes acquire specific geospatial shapes that combine a geospatial (geograp…
Il capitale territoriale e la crisi: un'analisi provinciale per l'Italia Centro-Meridionale
2014
Le analisi sugli effetti della crisi si sono prevalentemente incentrate su una dimensione nazionale e internazionale. Nel presente lavoro si focalizza l’attenzione sul capitale territoriale allo scopo di identificare gli elementi territoriali che possono essere considerati strategici per le capacità di resilienza e recupero dalla recessione a livello regionale e sub-regionale. A tal fine si utilizzerà un vasto dataset sull’Italia centro-meridionale con l’intento di misurare le relazioni empiriche tra capitale territoriale e variazione delle performance a livello provinciale, allo scopo di verificare come la dotazione di capitale territoriale possa avere influito su reazioni differenziate e,…
Local and territorial determinants in the realization of public–private–partnerships: an empirical analysis for Italian provinces
2019
ABSTRACT Relational networks and intangible factors are crucial elements for the competitiveness of a territory. Public–Private–Partnerships (PPPs), in particular, allow for the provision of goods and services that favour the exploitation of complementarities between public and private resources. They aim at promoting an increase in the overall efficiency of investment projects through a complex mechanism that distributes risk and revenues among stakeholders. This paper examines the local and territorial determinants of PPPs through an econometric analysis based upon Italian municipal data, grouped at the provincial level. Using a tobit model, we analyse the relationship between the realiza…
