Innovación y crecimiento económico: Factores que estimulan la innovación

En este sentido, se muestra la relación que existe entre innovaciones y crecimiento económico, como objetivo esencial actual de la política económica para reducir el desempleo y aumentar el bienestar social. Para llevar a cabo este análisis nos basamos en el modelo de Schumpeter, en el que el empresario-emprendedor y el clima social desempeñan un papel relevante en el proceso. El análisis empírico estima una ecuación de innovaciones para el caso de 11 países desarrollados, mostrando que el clima social, representado por la formación y la distribución de la renta, y la política m…
The Contexts Where Social Ventures Develop
2021
This chapter starts from the idea that definitions are crucial to understanding diverse phenomenology. This importance is a basic factor of social entrepreneurship. Defining social entrepreneurship will allow the academia to measure the magnitude of the phenomenon. Through two studies that link the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship with post-materialistic values, it can be concluded that social ventures emerge in certain contexts. Finally, the chapter ends with the thought that although social ventures are a form of organization that may or may not emerge, their values are necessary for current ventures.

The Lineup of Social Entrepreneurship
2021
As an introductory chapter to the second section, this chapter describes the sequence of the social entrepreneurship analysis followed from the macro perspective. As a chronology, the construction of social ventures begins with a social problem or an unjust social equilibrium. At this point, an individual tries to change the unjust situation through a disruptive idea. The big challenge for that individual arises because, as in any equilibrium situation, institutional forces make difficult the shift from one situation to another. One of the main issues linked to the institutional forces is legitimacy, which can be seen to a certain extent as conflicts of interest. Finally, social ventures an…
Smart city initiatives, public real estate strategic management and new venture creation.

During the last decade, academics have been involved in an interesting debate around the development of the so called Smart City Initiatives.

More in detail, the research provides a theoretical and analytical scheme helping policy makers opt for the most suitable choices relating to the public property port…

2016
The concept of social entrepreneurship is growing rapidly and attracting increased attention from research institutions and business schools around the world to understand how these satisfy the needs of communities, those private and public institutions are not adequately addressing.

From the results emerges that around 64% of the farmers participating in AFN…

Il delitto di "caporalato" tra diritti minimi della persona e tutela del mercato del lavoro
2020
Il contributo analizza il reato di intermediazione illecita e sfruttamento lavorativo, offrendo un’analisi comparata con il sistema repressivo tedesco. Lo studio si sofferma, in particolare, sui limiti di legittimazione del diritto penale nella punizione dei fatti di “caporalato”, nel tentativo di scongiurare che l’intervento repressivo nelle dinamiche economiche e contrattuali, di natura sinallagmatica, possa assumere una portata tale da porsi in contrasto con il canone della sussidiarietà. A tal fine, si suggerisce una prospettiva ermeneutica che incentri il disvalore penale del reato di cui all’art. 603-bis c.p. sulla lesione dei diritti fondamentali del lavoratore – riconducibili agli a…
Turning a business idea into a real business through an entrepreneurial learning approach based on dynamic start-up business model simulators
2017
In this paper we argue that the use of System Dynamics modelling applied to Business Model design and representation may result in an entrepreneurial learning approach to support potential entrepreneurs in exploring and learn how a business operates and reacts according to alternative strategic choices. As such, a Dynamic Business Modelling approach provides useful insights to start-up entrepreneurs learning processes by capturing and explaining how critical Business Model elements interact to produce enduring competitive advantages over time.
