Innovativeness and Family-Firm Performance: The Moderating Effect of Family Commitment
2016
The positive relationship between innovativeness and firm performance is well established and applies equally to all businesses, including family firms. However, little is yet known about how the unique characteristics of family firms influence this relationship. Drawing upon the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm, this study explains how the interplay between innovativeness as a firm-specific resource and family commitment as a family-specific resource affects performance. The analysis of longitudinal survey data collected from Finnish family firms demonstrates a curvilinear (U-shaped) moderating effect of the owner family’s commitment to the firm, in that the impact of innovativeness o…
Due usi italiani di "enunciazione"
2015
This article examines two uses of the word enunciation in some recent contributions of the italian semiotics: a) “enunciation” as activation of open semantic potentials (VIOLI 2003) ; b) “enunciation” as modulation of local encyclopedic sections (PAOLUCCI 2010). Thanks to the theoretical resources of two fundamental research programs as Benveniste’s linguistics (LEB) and Culioli’s theory of predicative and enunciative operations (TOPE), we try to demonstrate that these uses are variants of the same general idea, i.e. “actualization” of encyclopedic virtualities. In the last section of the paper, we formulate some questions that remain open in the context of this investigation.
Explicación teórica y compromisos ontológicos : un modelo estructuralista
2021
En este ensayo me propongo esbozar un modelo de «explicación teórica con compromisos ontológicos». No se pretende que tal modelo tenga aplicación al uso de 'explicación' en la vida cotidiana, y ni siquiera que sea aplicable a todos los contextos científicos, tan sólo que tiene una significación genuina en grandes porciones de las ciencias naturales, particularmente en la física, y más generalmente en aquellas disciplinas que han sido matematizadas más o menos sistemáticamente. Mi tesis general, que voy a tratar de articular en lo que sigue, es simplemente la siguiente: al menos en muchos contextos de la ciencia teórica, la explicación adopta la forma de la inserción de una estructura de dat…
Scientific production in bioethics in Spain through MEDLINE
2007
Fundamento: Describir la producción científica española en bioética entre 1966 y 2003. Métodos: Se seleccionaron los documentos publicados por autores españoles y recogidos en la base de datos MEDLINE, mediante el cruce de las palabras bioética con otras diversas del mismo ámbito. Resultados: Se estudiaron 858 documentos, de los cuales 78 (9,1%) se publicaron entre 1966 y 1983, 163 (19%) entre 1984 y 1993, y 617 (71,9%) entre 1994 y 2003. Los principales temas publicados fueron: legislación y derechos (15,4%) e investigación y comités de ética (13,1%). En el último período se ha observado un aumento significativo de las publicaciones sobre genética y clonación y un descenso sobre las de abo…
The Committee of the Regions: A Springboard for the Citizens
2013
Abstract This study focuses on the relation between the Committee of the Regions (CoR), an advisory institution of the European Union defined as the political assembly of holders of a regional or local electoral mandate serving the cause of European integration, and the democratic deficit, understood as the effective ways of citizens’ participation in the institutional decision making. The work hypothesis is that the CoR, in spite of being mostly unknown to citizens, could be an effective tool for tackling the democratic deficit. Through qualitative interviews and surveys at different levels, the article analyzes the current situation and the potential opportunities of the CoR in its relati…

This research work adresses the prediction of success after a training scheme (success in university examination, integration of job seekers after a training session) on the basis of 1/ subjective indicators at the end of training: satisfaction or subjective learning and 2/ individuals' variables (self-efficacy, locus of control, self-esteem, optimism and core self-evaluation). Our results show that, compared to training evaluation models, subjective indicators at the end of training do not appear to be good predictors of success. In addition, if individuals' variables are sometimes predictable of success, this seems to be related to the mere fact that they represent high values in students…

Implementing AI Ethics in Practice: An Empirical Evaluation of the RESOLVEDD Strategy
2020
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems exert a growing influence on society, real-life incidents begin to underline the importance of AI Ethics. Though calls for more ethical AI systems have been voiced by scholars and the general public alike, few empirical studies on the topic exist. Similarly, few tools and methods designed for implementing AI ethics into practice currently exist. To provide empirical data into this on-going discussion, we empirically evaluate an existing method from the field of business ethics, the RESOLVEDD strategy, in the context of ethical system development. We evaluated RESOLVEDD by means of a multiple case study of five student projects where its use was given …
Standard Essential Patents e licenze a condizioni FRAND nel diritto della UE: equità e ragionevolezza tra antitrust e regolazione
2021
L’articolo affronta la controversa questione della determinazione delle condizioni per la concessione di licenze su brevetti essenziali per l’applicazione di uno standard, evidenziando come si sia rivelata inefficiente la scelta della Commissione UE di affidarla esclusivamente alla privata negoziazione dei termini degli impegni FRAND. Tale sistema ha generato un rilevante contenzioso, spesso affrontato con l’applicazione dell’art. 102 TFUE. Scarso aiuto hanno fornito le indicazioni fornite dalla stessa Commissione con diverse comunicazioni, il cui contenuto viene criticamente esaminato, e la pronuncia della Corte di giustizia sul caso ZTE/Huawei. L’autore è dell’idea che sia venuto il momen…
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2017
Introducción: La institucionalización del Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS) en la universidad recomienda, en primer lugar, el análisis de la cultura docente del profesorado y su actitud hacia la innovación. Precisamente, lo que este trabajo pretende es aportar un modelo teórico integrador desarrollando tres escalas de evaluación, contrastadas a través de pruebas estadísticas, para el contexto de la enseñanza universitaria en España. Metodología: A fin de elaborar el modelo de medida se aplicaron tres escalas a 1903 profesoras y profesores de 6 universidades españolas: una escala de práctica docente (18 ítems), otra sobre compromiso social de la Universidad (9 ítems), y una tercera, sobre prácticas…
