Functional linear models for the analysis of similarity of waveforms
2018
In seismology methods based on waveform similarity analysis are adopted to identify sequences of events characterized by similar fault mechanism and prop- agation pattern. Seismic waves can be considered as spatially interdependent three dimensional curves depending on time and the waveform similarity analysis can be configured as a functional clustering approach, on the basis of which the member- ship is assessed by the shape of the temporal patterns. For providing qualitative ex- traction of the most important information from the recorded signals we propose an integration of the metadata, related to the waves, as explicative variables of a func- tional linear models. The temporal pattern…
Il rendiconto finanziario
2023
Il capitolo tratta del rendiconto finanziario. La struttura è quella presentata dal principio OIC 10. Con l’ausilio di un esempio sono individuate le fonti documentali e definite le procedure per la costruzione del documento riepilogativo contabile. È evidenziato il potenziale informativo del documento, dal quale possono trarsi determinazioni quantitative utili alla costruzione di indicatori di performance aziendali. Il capitolo ha quindi per obiettivi di apprendimento la conoscenza della struttura e dell’articolazione del rendiconto finanziario, le sue modalità di costruzione e la capacità di lettura del documento per lo svolgimento di analisi di performance aziendali.
Le potenzialità cognitive dei network di imprese
2009
Negli ultimi anni numerosi autori hanno indicato le reti di imprese quale modalità attraverso cui organizzare le relazioni cooperative tra imprese, in grado di porre in essere superiori processi di condivisione e di creazione della conoscenza e, pertanto, rispondente alle sfide poste - in un ambiente complesso - da una competizione basata sempre più sulla criticità dell’attività innovativa. Nella realtà operativa, il concreto dispiegarsi del succitato potenziale cognitivo è connesso con la struttura assunta dall’aggregato reticolare e con le sue modalità di governo. Orbene, gli studi teorici ed empirici che si sono proposti di esaminare il nesso sussistente tra le performance economico-cogn…
Hints of latent drivers investigating university student performance
2018
Job market, nowadays, asks for higher and higher skills and competences. Therefore, also the measurement and assessment of the university students performance are crucial issues for policy makers. Although the scientific literature provides several papers investigating the main determinants of university student performance, often results are very different, and they seem to hold just in very specific contexts. This paper aims to contribute to the international literature, focusing on the role of student specific characteristics, supporting the idea that unobservable variables (such as motivation, aptitudes or abilities) should be more investigated.
Can the students' career performance be helpful in predicting an increase in universities income?
2013
The students’ academic failure and the delay in obtaining their final degree are a significant issue for the Italian universities and their shareholders. Based on indicators proposed by the Italian Ministry of University, the Italian universities are awarded a financial incentive if they reduce the students’ attrition and failure. In this paper we analyze the students’ careers performance using: 1) aggregate data; 2) individual data. The first compares the performances of the Italian universities using the measures and the indicators proposed by the Ministry. The second analyzes the students’ careers through an indicator based on credit earned by each student in seven academic years. The pr…
Students’ university mobility patterns in Europe: an introduction
2022
AbstractThis thematic series collects some papers on Italian students' mobility. The aim of this thematic series is twofold. First, to describe the phenomenon which is important for universities and for its negative socio-economic implications for the South of Italy. Second, to propose new applications of statistical methods for this topic and applications which can be extended to other forms of migration, too.

A Dynamic Framework for Sustainable Open Innovation in the Food Industry
2022
PurposeThis study aims to take a holistic perspective to investigate how open innovation supports sustainability and the contribution to the Unite Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on an in-depth single case study of Andriani SpA, a leading Italian company in the food industry. The case is built by triangulating data from direct observations, documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews.FindingsThe findings show an organization that has developed its competitive advantage by adopting open innovation to embed sustainability in its strategy and business model. The case study complements the understanding of how open innovati…
Designing Dynamic Sustainable Business Models to Assess the Feasibility of an Industrial Symbiosis: The Case of the Retro-Port Area of Trieste
2023
This study evaluates the managerial sustainability of implementing a decision support system for industrial symbiosis through a recent business modeling methodology. The decision support system is intended to facilitate the identification of implementable industrial symbiosis good practices in a pilot project located in the industrial retro-port area of Trieste. To evaluate the feasibility of this project, a qualitative “Dynamic business model canvas for sustainability” was designed and supported by a system dynamics approach using causal loop diagrams. The study analyzed various governance scenarios for managing the decision support system (public, private, or public–private partnership) a…
