Il rescaling e la flessibilità geografica del modello territoriale reticolare policentrico
2021
Con l’obiettivo di alimentare il dibattito scientifico-disciplinare in corso sulle modalità con cui i territoti devono essere governati e con quali strumenti e politiche, il contributo intende proporre alcune riflessioni sulle relazioni che stanno caratterizzando il processo evolutivo dei territori, sulle forme di cooperazione necessarie e sui confini che devono essere re-interpretati e ri-definiti, e propone il policentrismo reticolare come modello di sviluppo territoriale da perseguire per affrontare le sfide del rescaling. I primi due paragrafi affrontano specificatamente le questioni legate ai processi di rescaling e alle questioni ancora aperte relativamente alla governance territorial…
Trzy modele reform administracji publicznej a legitymizacja służby publicznej
2017
Administracja publiczna podlega permanentnym reformom, dostosowując swoją organizację, zadania i sposób działania do potrzeb oraz idei współczesnego świata. Jednocześnie szuka elementów i form legitymizujących jej funkcjonowanie. Wprowadzane reformy zmieniają rolę i pozycję służby publicznej, oddziałując na jej legitymizację. Menadżerskie zarządzanie z modelu NPM wpływa na zakres świadczeń publicznych, a tym samym (nie wprost) na akceptację nowego modelu służby publicznej. Z kolei model NPG wzmacnia pozycję obywatela w procesie wyznaczania celu publicznego, zmusza służbę publiczną do negocjacji i działań konsensualnych w czasie definiowania interesu publicznego. W ten sposób obywatel, decyd…
From state-owned smokestacks to post-industrial dreams : The Finnish government in business, 1970–2010
2020
While state-owned enterprises (SOEs) used to be considered obsolete tools for governmental intervention in the economy, in recent years governmental intervention in the business sector has re-emerged as a topic of debate. However, scholarship on the changes in and the modernisation of the SOE model is limited. In this article, we examine how the Finnish state’s ownership policy adapted to the requirements of economic globalisation between the 1970s and the 2010s. We show that the attitude towards globalisation was pragmatic and aimed at safeguarding the competitiveness of domestic companies. The state-owned company system was gradually adapted to meet new needs, losing most of its original …
ENABLING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ANTI-CORRUPTION STRATEGIES THROUGH DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE. A CASE-STUDY OF …
2021
Lo scopo principale di questa ricerca è quello di inquadrare le possibili relazioni causali fra corruzione negli approvvigionamenti pubblici e performance delle amministrazioni locali. A tal fine, viene adottato un disegno di ricerca che integra dinamicamente metodi quantitativi e qualitativi in ogni fase del processo di studio. Gli approcci Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) e Governance (DPG), supportati da interviste approfondite non-strutturate, modellazioni formali e simulazioni quantitative, sono qui adottati per analizzare un caso di studio rappresentativo di un piccolo comune italiano in cui si sono verificati alcuni episodi di corruzione nelle attività di approvvigionamento nei p…
Reputation, regulation and corporate governance as determinants of the improvement of non-financial information (NFI) reporting
2023
Many years have passed since corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the disclosure of non-financial information (NFI) aroused interest in very few organizations (Hąbek & Wolniak, 2016). Today, they are part of the main priorities for the most important companies in the world, and they are seen as an important part of the strategy due to the many benefits associated with them (Castilla-Polo & Sánchez-Hernández, 2020). In the last decades, it has become evident the relevance that NFI reporting has worldwide. It can be seen through the evolution of the issuance of this type of reports. In 2002, 45% of the G250 companies published a separate report, 20 years later, the numbers show that 96% …
Deadlock in corporate governance: Finding a common strategy for private telephone companies, 1978–1998
2017
This paper looks at how a group of small, incumbent private telephone companies complied with the international convergence of market structures. The existing research has mainly focused on large national incumbents, assuming a transition to multinational enterprise. This development process is often associated with privatisation policies and various institutional factors. The article tests these assumptions using a case study of the network of Finnish local telephone companies. It looks at the development of an interfirm network, its perspectives on the different phases of the deregulation process, and how the network tried to regenerate itself but failed to form a unified corporate struct…
Multiple directorships of corporate boards and firm performance in India
2017
The purpose of the paper is to investigate, first, the association between multiple directorship assignments (busyness) undertaken by corporate directors and firm performance, second, whether endogenously determined limits of multiple directorships, highlighting the ownership structure and other institutional settings, explain the above association better than those by exogenously mandated by regulators and third, the association between the nature of busyness and firm performance. The study develops measures of busyness in the light of the agency and resource dependence theories. The spline regression technique is applied in order to reflect institutional settings of a large sample and sub…

Negatiivisen yritysvastuun vaikutus yritysvastuun hyvän hallintotapaan : case Stora Enso, UPM-Kymmene ja Metsäliitto
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella onko negatiivinen yritysvastuu vaikuttanut suomalaisten metsäyritysten yritysvastuun hyvän hallintotavan käytäntöihin. Aiemmassa tutkimuksessa on todettu, että tätä aihetta ei ole tutkittu. Yritysvastuun hyvällä hallintotavalla tarkoitetaan niitä rakenteita (hallintomallia) ja käytäntöjä, joilla varmistetaan että yritysvastuu otetaan huomioon yrityksen koko toiminnassa. Aikaisemman tutkimuksen pohjalta muodostettiin yritysvastuun hyvän hallintotavan käytäntöjen viitekehys. Viitekehyksen avulla etsittiin kolmen case-yrityksen (Stora Enso, Metsäliitto (nykyisin nimeltään Metsä Group) ja UPM-Kymmene) vuosien 2006–2015 yritysvastuuraporteista yrity…
