Il contributo delle culture locali
2010
Il contributo espone le politiche culturali che negli anni hanno caratterizzato la progettualità del Dipartimento di Design di Palermo che ha trovato una strada da percorrere nel territorio siciliano incentrando le azioni progettuali sul radicamento nelle risorse umane e materiali del territorio. Tale orientamento ha consentito, con largo anticipo sui tempi, di privilegiare le aziende la cui eccellenza poggiasse su requisiti che non fossero mirate solo al mercato, ma che eticamente si rivolgessero ad un miglioramento generale delle condizioni della qualità della vita, derivanti da una forte valorizzazione del capitale umano, delle condizione della qualità del lavoro produttivo, e dal progre…

Internationalization of firms: revitalizing the board of directors after a cross-border acquisition
2017
Purpose This paper aims to show the importance of introducing an integration manager (i.e. an executive position used to channel the acquiring firm’s course of action and strengthen the success of a post-acquisition integration process) within the acquiring firm’s board of directors. Design/methodology/approach This is a theoretical paper that introduces the integration manager within the board of privately held firms going internationally via acquisitions and serving as an “out-insider” director able to balance the conflicting demands of the previously separated entities during their integration process. The authors present an explanatory case study that empirically contributes to the boa…
Cybernetics of Value Co-creation
2014
The paradigm shift from value creation to value "co-creation" calls for a deeper grasp of organizational learning in marketing theory. This paper adopts a cybernetic view of the process of value co-creation to shed light on its relevant aspects and to supply a framework to implement operations and strategies to foster this process. Can cybernetics help to better understand the process of value co-creation? Can the Viable System Model (Beer, 1979) be a sound approach to shape a more effective value co-creation process able to achieve higher satisfaction and value? In this theoretical paper we will show how cybernetic can be effectively used to give a positive answer to both questions above
