Freedom and Redistribution
2012
In this paper we study the determinants of peopleís attitudes toward income inequality and their economic consequences. We argue that an individualís atti- tudes toward inequality depend upon the extent of freedom of choice and control over life outcomes he enjoys.

We Önd that the higher the extent of an individualís free choice and control over life outcomes, the greater the probability that he supports larger income di§erences as incentives for individual e§ort. We also show that this relationship determines important consequences for the individualís w…

Ripensare l'azienda: una prospettiva unitarista
2009
Molti dei piú avveduti ambienti scientifici, culturali, professionali, editoriali e persino politico-istituzionali auspicano da tempo il superamento di ogni contrapposizione artificiosa tra le cosiddette conoscenze scientifiche ed umanistiche, nonché fra numerose branche delle une e delle altre, alla quale hanno concorso, per speculari ma convergenti ragioni, sia lo specialismo sia il generalismo, intesi come ideologie e prassi, rispettivamente, della specializzazione e della generalizzazione nella conoscenza.

2012
Organizational growth and performance management provide two important research topics for both enterprises and public sector organizations. Improving performance levels, or at least keeping them stable over time, is a hot topic not only for business executives and entrepreneurs, but also for managers and policy makers in public and non-profit institutions.

Interfirm Network Analysis in Marginal Tourist Destinations: The Mediator Company in Business Relationships
2022
The literature on tourist destinations and the use of empirical approaches evidence the need to adopt this model to increase tourism economies. In model application, the enterprises, and local stakeholders, sometimes represent limitations or opportunities. This article opens the view to tourist destination networks, described as relational structures that can influence and determine the destination-building process. The Network Analysis methodology offers a better understanding of inter-firm relational dynamics when applied in a small context, and in this case, the application was undertaken on the island of Sicily, in Menfi town and its hinterland. Findings show the presence of a company t…
