Career Paths in Institutional Business Elites: Finnish Family Firms from 1762–2010
2015
This article analyzes the career paths of family business executives in institutional business elites in Finland using an empirical database based on a Bourdieusian prosopographical approach. The results indicate that career paths became more complex but shortened in length toward the beginning of the twenty-first century. The early career paths of family executives changed from positions as assistants and salesmen in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to governance, chief executive officer (CEO), and management positions in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Compared with the founder generation, next-generation family members benefited from more rapid institutional business eli…
Las pullas de Isabel(a) entre Lope y Góngora : modelos, versos y paratextos de 'Virtud, pobreza y mujer'
2021
Este artículo se ha beneficiado de mi participación en los proyectos de investigación PGC2018-094395-BI00, financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, PID2019-104045GB-C54 y PID2019-104045GB-C51, financiados por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación y por fondos FEDER. El presente artículo aborda la relación entre dos comedias: Las firmezas de Isabela, de Luis de Góngora, y Virtud, pobreza y mujer, de Lope de Vega. Tras fijar la fecha de escritura de la segunda, se estipula que fue Lope quien pudo inspirarse en Góngora y no al revés (cuestión discutida), y se aclaran, amplían, matizan o desmienten las huellas de la comedia gongorina atisbadas hasta ahora por la crít…
The Incubation Process for the Creation of Viable Firms: The Case of ARCA Consortium
2013
Purpose of the study. The process of creation of new firms is particularly complex when it starts from very innovative ideas that may be not understood by the stakeholders of the firm. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that academic incubators play a key role for firms’ viability. Methodology. We analyze the effectiveness of the incubation process that takes place in the incubator of Consorzio Arca, by means of a single case study with embedded design. Findings. The effectiveness of the incubation process is demonstrated by the high number of spin-offs that, after incubation, are able to stand alone in the market and to find the consonance with the relevant supra-systems. Research lim…
Age and productivity as determinants of firm survival over the industry life cycle
2017
AbstractThis paper contributes to fill the gap between the literature on the determinants of firm survival and the empirical works on the industry life cycle (ILC). Using a representative sample of Spanish firms with 10 or more employees over the period 1993–2009, the role played by firm age and productivity in firm survival is empirically analysed across three stages of the life cycle of forty-seven 3-digit manufacturing sectors. In the ‘early’ stage of the ILC, firm age is negatively correlated with hazard rates while firm productivity is not. Firm productivity is associated with lower hazard in the ‘mature’ stage of the ILC, when competition is primarily efficiency-driven, while firm age…
Finding evidence on the innovative or positional character in medium sized manufacturing firms
2002
Through an empirically based study on 65 medium sized manufacturing firms corresponding to 12 industrial sectors and located in the Spanish region of Valencia, we seek in this paper to provide enough evidence about the prevalence of positional, static and myopic values or, instead, innovative, dynamic and open minded principles, among the firms under study. Gathered into three groups of sectors, depending on the scope of demand (weak, medium and strong demand sectors), we conclude that the weak and medium demand sectors are still facing remarkable challenges basically connected to technology issues, despite improvement in other variables directly linked to an innovative character.
Identity and Access Management for Remote Maintenance Services in Business Networks
2007
Access to information systems across corporate boundaries with high demands to privacy and trust result into ambitious research and development targets. This study provides motivation and a roadmap for approaching integrated security management solutions in a business network of partners with heterogeneous ICT and security infrastructures. We aim at describing specifics of identity and access management in inter-organizational collaboration, and a vision and arguments for identity and access management in a business network. A case study with Metso Paper, Inc., the leading manufacturer of paper machinery and related services, validates the results, thus providing a motivating example of the…
Enterprise content management: An integrated perspective on information management
2005
Konferansebidrag fra 38th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2005. HICSS 2005 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is an emerging concept involving numerous software vendors, consultants, and information management practitioners around increasing market potential. However, there exist yet few academic reports on ECM from the viewpoint of organizational system implementations. This article analyses 58, mainly practitioner-oriented, case narratives of ECM projects and implementations to identify a framework of major issues that require managerial attention in organizations. The main areas covered by the framework are: objectives/impacts sought with ECM, enterprise model…
La infravaloración de las ofertas públicas iniciales en el mercado español: empresa familiar versus empresa no familiar
2013
ResumenLa evidencia previa nacional e internacional muestra la infravaloración de las empresas que salen a bolsa a través de una Oferta Pública Inicial (OPI). Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar si este fenómeno también se da en las empresas de carácter familiar y si existen diferencias significativas en la infravaloración respecto de las empresas no familiares. Para ello, analizamos una muestra formada por 59 empresas españolas que iniciaron su cotización en el mercado bursátil español por medio de una OPI en el periodo 1994-2012. Los resultados revelan que se produce un rendimiento inicial medio positivo significativo tanto en las OPI de las empresas familiares como en las OPI de la…
