Understanding the crowdfunding phenomenon and its implications for sustainability
2019
Abstract Nonetheless the large body of knowledge rapidly accumulated on crowdfunding as well as the growing relevance of this phenomenon for sustainability, there are very few studies on the role of crowdfunding for sustainability-oriented projects, and many related issues are still far from being fully understood. This signalises a clear need for unveiling the main dynamics of the relationship between crowdfunding and sustainability, and also opening up useful directions for future research on this relationship. To conceptualize the implications of crowdfunding for sustainability, we propose and use a framework, encompassing five dimensions, namely the project creator, the backers, the cam…
Tra conservazione e innovazione: la Banca Mondiale e la modificazione del concetto di sviluppo, 1946–1981
2004
Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale si è a lungo ritenuto che la crescita economica fosse uno strumento sufficiente a migliorare in un ragionevole lasso di tempo le condizioni di vita delle popolazioni dei paesi in via di sviluppo. La Banca Mondiale ha condiviso questo punto di vista, dedicandosi a investimenti di carattere direttamente produttivo o infrastrutturale. Alla fine degli anni Sessanta divenne però evidente che la crescita economica non coinvolgeva tutti gli strati delle popolazioni di un paese, spesso escludendo dal processo gli strati più poveri. La crescita economica non implicava necessariamente un adeguato sviluppo dei sistemi sociali e politici dei paesi interessati. La Banca M…
Best practice strategies in business process redesign: an experimental study
2012
This paper presents investigates the determinants for best practices’ adoption in business process redesign. Specifically, we evaluate the role of the best practices in business process redesign by exploring their adoption dependences from the process typology and the goals of the redesign project. In order to answer to our research questions, we conducted an experimental study over 18 business process redesign projects carried out by 18 teams of students. The experimental study shows that there exists a business practice strategic orientation in redesigning a process, i.e. evident correlations exist among the adoption of specific practices with the adoption of other specific practices, but…
Strategic drivers influencing the governance of inter-firm relationships between biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies: an empirical survey
2010
This paper investigates the drivers influencing the choice of the governance form in inter-firm relationships (IFRs) between pharmaceutical and biotech companies. By analyzing the relevant literature on the issue, we have located the main drivers that might influence such relationship and a set of hypotheses linking them to governance forms. Such theoretical framework has been empirically tested through a survey conducted among the companies associated to Farmindustria. The result of the empirical analysis provides some interesting insights on how shaping bio-pharmaceutical deals; we found that the developmental stage of the product object of the deal, the existence of previous collaboratio…

The influence of reverse flow on the dynamics of closed-loop supply chains
2014
The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of reverse logistics’ factors on the order and inventory variance amplification in a closed-loop supply chain. We adopt a difference equation math approach for analysing a closed-loop supply chain. Results show how the return flow positively affects both the inventory variance and the bullwhip effect independently of the number of echelons. On the contrary, an increasing remanufacturing lead-time negatively affects both the two metrics studied independently of the above mentioned settings. However, when the number of echelons increases, the benefit provided by the return flow tends to decrease.
Le lenti del Sud: informalità mediterranea e rivoluzioni post- pandemiche nel quartiere CEP di Palermo
2021
I fenomeni di abitazione informale si declinano in modalità eterogenee e complesse. La specificità dei contesti sud-europei induce a mettere in crisi i modelli che interpretano questi temi seguendo le esperienze anglosassoni o nord-europei e a sviluppare un filone di ragionamento teorico che tenti di scardinare il legame tra informalità e ritardo (economico, sociale, culturale). Questo contributo tenta dunque di fornire una chiave di lettura innovativa, a partire dal caso studio del quartiere CEP di Palermo, dove l’informalità non si declina esclusivamente nelle pratiche abitative ma si spinge oltre la dimensione privata, nello spazio pubblico. Se è vero che l’esperienza pandemica contempor…
