Solidarity Purchase Groups and the new critical and ethical consumer trends: first results of a direct study in Sicily
2011
Recently in Italy, the evolution of food consumption occurs through the purchase of healthy and environmentally friendly foods. This trend is confirmed by the birth, in Italy of many solidarity purchase groups (called in Italy Gruppi di Acquisto Solidale or GAS),made up of individuals or families who choose to purchase products with a high ethical value. In this paper we try to identify socio-economic conditions and motivation of individual members of GAS, and for this purpose we developed over 205 questionnaires.

Findings The authors propose a model of the “Islamic Sovereign Wealth Funds” based on four key pillars: the major Shariah p…
Il processo di incubazione per la creazione di imprese vitali. Il caso del Consorzio ARCA

Obiettivi . Il processo di creazione di nuove imprese risulta particolarmente complesso qualora parta da idee altamente innovative che trovano difficolta ad essere percepite come valide dai sovra sistemi. Obiettivo del presente lavoro e dimostrare che gli incubatori accademici svolgono un ruolo determinante per la vitalita di queste imprese. Metodologia .

L’efficacia del processo di incubazione e dimostrata dall’elevato numero di spin-off che, al termine del periodo di incubazione, sono capaci di competere con succ…
Spontaneous Order: Origins, Actual Spontaneity, Diversity
2015
In this paper, we aim to revive the research project on the spontaneous order by examining it critically. We aim to show that normative formulations of the spontaneous order suffer from one main flaw: they focus on the origin of orders rather than on how orders actually perform. In particular, we argue that such normative formulations tend to qualify orders as spontaneous according to two main requirements: unintendedness and negative liberty.
La critica di Piero Sraffa alla teoria marshalliana del valore negli anni venti. Una prospettiva metodologica
1998
Il saggio intende ricostruire la logica della ricerca scientifica del giovane Sraffa così come essa emerge dall'analisi degli articoli del 1925-26. I risultati che emergono si possono così riassumere. La critica di Sraffa alla teoria marshalliana del valore non è una critica di tipo logico in senso stretto: il che muove Sraffa non è quello di mettere in luce l'esistenza di alcuni non sequitur all'interno della costruzione teorica marshalliana; bensì di dimostrare che la portata empirica del modello marshalliano, una volta ricostruito in modo logicamente coerente, è ben più ristretta diquanto generalmente ammesso.
Stackelberg equilibrium with many leaders and followers. The case of zero fixed costs
2017
Abstract I study a version of the Stackelberg game with many identical firms in which leaders and followers use a continuous cost function with no fixed cost. Using lattice theoretical methods I provide a set of conditions that guarantee that the game has an equilibrium in pure strategies. With convex costs the model shows the same properties as a quasi-competitive Cournot model. The same happens with concave costs, but only when the number of followers is small. When this number is large the leaders preempt entry. I study the comparative statics and the limit behavior of the equilibrium and I show how the main determinants of market structure interact. More competition between the leaders …

Innovation strategies geared toward the circular economy: A case study of the organic olive-oil industry
2018
Circular Economy (CE) focuses on the (re)design of processes and products aiming to minimize negative environmental impact, by reducing the use of non-renewable resources, increasing products durability, improving waste management and enhancing the market for secondary raw materials. In the management field very few contributions deal with the topic of CE as a model that firms can implement from a business model perspective. The aim of the present study is to describe, by using a case study in olive oil industry, how firms in practice adapt their business model towards CE paradigm and the influence of personal drivers and stakeholders in this adaptation. The findings reveal that circular ec…
