Business Models and Market Entry Mode Choice of Small Software Firms
2007
So far the critical choice of the entry mode for a target country has been examined ignoring the special features of firms. Particularly, the impact of the wide variation of business models of software firms has been ignored. This multi-case study investigates the relation between the business model and the entry mode of eight software firms. The results imply that the product strategy and the service and implementation model of a software firm are closely connected to the entry mode choice, while the distribution model of intangible software products does not seem to have impact on the operation mode. peerReviewed

Techniques culinaires et confort en bouche chez la personne âgée
2020
Culinary processes and food comfortability in an older population Aging is often accompanied by oral impairments, including the loss of teeth and a decline in saliva flow. These changes can lead older people to avoid the consumption of foods that are difficult to chew such as meat. This may consequently increase the risk of sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass, strength and performance) as well as the risk of protein-energy undernutrition in this population. In order to compensate the decline in oral health observed in older individual and to maintain meat consumption, we assessed the impact of four culinary processes (cooking bag, tenderizer, marinade and low-temperature cooking) on the percept…
Données textuelles, données expérimentales : quels apports pour une sémantique de la sensorialité ?
2019
International audience; Cette communication présente, explique et exemplifie le programme de recherche de l’équipe dijonnaise travaillant, au sein de l’EA 4182, à la mise en place d’un protocole éprouvé d’analyse discursive multi-niveaux des « discours du sensoriel », ce choix de dénomination reflétant l’orientation majeure de l’équipe. En effet, il ne s’agit pas ici de chercher dans la langue ce qui exprime le sensoriel, mais bel et bien de partir de réalités extra-linguistiques ayant une dimension sensorielle pour en récolter le matériau de mise en discours qui sera ensuite l’objet des études de cas. Une première partie met en évidence le caractère éminemment interdisciplinaire de l’objet…
Conclusioni provvisorie (e una postilla piccoliana)
2022
Nel saggio è proposta l'analisi di un luogo singolare delle dimore letterarie: l'andito. Lucio Piccolo dedica a questo ambiente domestico di transizione il secondo componimento di Plumelia e con esso inaugura un nuovo spostamento dalle «cattedrali del verde orlandiano» (Tedesco, 1986) agli interni più intimi della casa. L'autore, attraverso raffinate metafore, delinea precise coordinate spazio-temporali e al contempo descrive, con immagini evanescenti, una condizione di contemplazione e di sospensione che proprio uno studio genetico delle varianti testuali aiuta a decodificare.
Frammenti di biografie plurali
2022
Ritorno a Palermo dopo tredici anni trascorsi in Umbria. Anni importanti in cui ho frequentato l’università laureandomi in filosofia e conseguendo un dottorato di ricerca; indagando sui temi del disagio psichico e della crisi della presenza in De Martino; sotto la guida di Tullio Seppilli, che di De Martino era stato allievo e il cui rigore nella ricerca è stato per me un esempio indimenticabile. Scappata a diciotto anni da una terra che mi aveva schiacciata con la sua violenza. In primo luogo sul versante privato. Una gelida brutalità di cui – quando sono andata via, determinata a non tornare – non percepivo fino in fondo i risvolti sul piano politico e della limitazione degli spazi fisici…
I luoghi dei viaggiatori
2016
Il saggio prende in esame la vastissima letteratura periegetica relativa al Grand Tour tracciando un percorso concentrato su alcuni dei temi che all'autore appaiono battuti con maggiore frequenza da molti dei protagonisti dei diari di viaggio. Viene, quindi, effettuata una selezione stringente su alcuni passaggi topici, corredati da specifiche citazioni, a partire da Michal Jan Borch, da Goethe e da Patrick Brydone, senza tralasciare Hoüel e tanti altri ancora, fino a Oscar Wilde. Le diverse osservazioni, anche sui medesimi luoghi, creano un tessuto di echi che dal passato ritornato tuttora, e che formarono l'idea di una Sicilia misteriosa, terra di frontiera primigenia, mitopoietica e cull…
Motor imagery in unipolar major depression
2014
International audience; Background: Motor imagery is a potential tool to investigate action representation, as it can provide insights into the processes of action planning and preparation. Recent studies suggest that depressed patients present specific impairment in mental rotation. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of unipolar depression on motor imagery ability. Methods: Fourteen right-handed patients meeting DSM-IV criteria for unipolar depression were compared to 14 matched healthy controls. Imagery ability was accessed by the timing correspondence between executed and imagined movements during a pointing task, involving strong spatiotemporal constraints (spee…
