The city management: methodological considerations on multriple criteria techniques for the selection and aggregation of criteria
2012
The scientific community recognizes that factors such as “social cohesion”, “social quality”, “social capital” and other have a strategic role in the evaluation of the en-richment or the impoverishment of society which occurs in urban environment. These factors are used to evaluate the quality of a social system and to discriminate between different policy alternatives in the management of the city. Social cohesion, quality, equity, progress, etc. are aggregate indicators of urban quality, as they incorporate various components related to multiple points of view. The scientific community and some national and international institutions have proposed different sets of indicators for the esti…
Per una ricapitalizzazione efficacenete co-creativa dei sistemi territoriali italiani
2014
La trasformazione creativa (innovazione) non dovrebbe essere immaginata se non come emergente dall’interazione interna (immanente) ai soggetti individuali o inter-individuali, piuttosto che da istanze separate e superiori (trascendenti). Il compito del planning dovrebbe quindi essere quello di rendere percepibili le potenzialità di cambiamento emergenti dall’interazione della molteplicità di detentori di quote di capitale urbano (stakeholder), che includono in pratica la totalità dei soggetti, e di fornire loro validi framework di orientamento e di scambio tra differenti, e spesso inconciliabili, sistemi di ‘valori’. Sono insomma richiesti approcci innovativi all’‘urbano’, per lo più contra…
NETWORK ANALYSIS OF A TOURIST DESTINATION
2014
This paper relates to the study of relationships within a tourist destination in order to prove the existence of structural models around which the entire supply system is developed. All this is made possible by the analysis of the links existing between businesses belonging to the destination. A useful tool for this purpose is Social Network Analysis (SNA), which provides a series of indicators and techniques to study the complexity of the network of relationships within a tourist destination and allows identifying the existence of a possible reference framework that can characterize the specificity of the destination. Based on the results from a previous analysis carried out in the San Vi…
Network analysys of a tourist destination
2014
We have focused on the role played by three families within the tourist destination assessing their role as an aggregating and driving force. This has been made possible by using one of the tools provided by SNA, namely Ego network analysis. This tool has allowed us to focus our attention on the role that individual businesses belonging to the three main families in San Vito Lo Capo (that we call Ego) play in the management of the destination. In particular, since the network of business relationships at this scarcely developed destination (i.e., in terms of density), the subjects are more likely to form relationships with those individuals who are acknowledged leaders. Within these tighter…
Guanxi, performance and innovation in entrepreneurial service projects.
2012
This paper analyzes the role played by two dimensions of entrepreneurs’ private social capital in the survival, growth and innovativeness of entrepreneurial service ventures: local size and preferential attachment degree. We build a bi-dimensional measure of social capital based on network models and a methodology to estimate this measure for any group of entrepreneurs. Based on a survey of service entrepreneurs who launched their business in the city of Shanghai, we show that roles played by each dimension are quite different. A large local size of the network increases the chances of survival of the new venture. However, the chance to become a dynamic venture is only related to entreprene…

Stakeholder relations as social capital in early modern international trade
2008
Stakeholder relations that are available through networks of various sorts are one benefit from social capital. According to the stakeholder approach to organizations, those relationships that contain most of the important attributes—such as power, legitimacy, frequency of contact, and urgency—hypothetically dominate the business environment. This has caused modern corporations to view chiefly the dominant stakeholders as important. This study tests the importance of these attributes in early modern international trade; in other words, which attributes played a major role in the relations between Finnish tradesmen and their foreign contacts? The archives of two major Finnish trading houses …

This article is divided into three parts, in the fi rst part it is explained what social capital is, and its role in national security is depicted.

The most important message from the content of this article is the statement: a strong society means a safe state.
Capitalismo e coesione sociale. Qualche considerazione sul ruolo attuale della sociologia
2015
Negli ultimi venti anni, grazie al predominio dell’ideologia della globalizzazione e dell’impresa globalizzata, imposto dai think thank del liberismo internazionale, e forse anche ad una eccessiva specializzazione delle scienze sociali, il tema delle disuguaglianze crescenti determinate dal modo di produzione capitalistico, e quello correlato dell’integrazione sociale e della coesione sociale all’interno dell’economia capitalistica, sono rimasti nella penombra dell’analisi delle scienze sociali e della sociologia (Bowles, 2009), in Italia (Gallino, 2012) più che in altri paesi, dove al contrario si assiste da molti anni ad una crescente attenzione nei confronti delle trasformazioni del capi…
