Antropologia ed etica aziendale.
2009
Il volume dibatte sui presupposti antropologici ed etici del fare impresa. Dal punto di vista antropologico, in termini analogici prima e metaforici dopo, declina il concetto di "trascendentale" alla realtà del soggetto imprenditore e dell'azienda; specificamente si sofferma sui trascendentali dell'"uno", "vero", "bene", "bello" e "valore". Dal punto di vista etico, approfondisce il ruolo delle virtù imprenditoriali in vista del successo aziendale, in particolare con riferimento alle virtù della prudenza, giustizia, fortezza e temperanza.
Il contributo del settore agricolo nel processo di sviluppo economico
2012
Il presente lavoro analizza il ruolo che l'agricoltura occupa nel sistema economico italiano e siciliano. In particolare, attraverso la teoria economica si è analizzato in un primo momento il ruolo che il settore primario ha nelle economie sviluppate. Successivamente, si sono esaminate le modalità di intervento dell’operatore pubblico nel settore. L’analisi empirica si è sviluppata prendendo in esame i dati della Spesa pubblica, attraverso i dati della banca dati dei Conti Pubblici Territoriali (CPT), il Valore Aggiunto e gli occupati del settore primario. Lo studio dimostra che il settore agricolo, nelle Regioni del , Mezzogiorno d’Italia, riveste ancora un peso rilevante che va supportato…
La misura dello sviluppo locale
2007
Negli anni '70 lo sviluppo locale si presenta in Italia in una forma e con una forza che non richiedono nuovi e specifici strumenti di misura. Sono i distretti industriali nelle regioni della "terza italia" a imporsi in quegli anni alla riflessione economica e sociologica, perchè determinano in modo significativo le economie regionali e dunque le misure regionali dell'economia e del mercato del lavoro. dagli anni '90, però, lo sviluppo locale diventa uno degli strumenti delle politiche per le aree depresse. I sistemi locali del lavoro, strumenti di misura costruiti per la delimitazione e identificazione dei distretti industriali, si rilevano inadeguati a cogliere i fenomeni deboli e circost…

CLUSTERING OF TOURISM PATTERNS WITH SELF-ORGANIZING MAPS: THE CASE OF SICILY
2023
In this paper the Self-Organizing Map algorithm is used for studying whether and which tourism flows in Sicily are synchronized, i.e. which flows show similar patterns in time and space, if any. Synchrony hunting was performed for domestic and international tourists both on a yearly and monthly basis. Local tourism, meaning the holidays spent in Sicily by residents in the island, is also considered but on a yearly basis only. The analysis makes use of time series representing the number of overnight stays in Sicily over the period 2013-2019. Results provide evidence for a domestic market overall more synchronized than the international one, both in time and space. Spatiotemporal patterns f…

Building on Entrepreneurs’ Leadership through ‘Lean’ and Dynamic Performance Management Systems in Small and Micro Firms. Challenges and Missed Oppor…
2014
This paper frames the potential benefits of ‘lean’ and dynamic performance management (PM) systems for small and micro enterprises. In this context, the ‘lean’ attribute is used to characterize a different approach in applying PM to small firms, in respect to larger organizations. In fact, such systems may exploit the entrepreneur’s tacit knowledge and build on leadership, by incorporating individual attributes into organizational routines. Related to small and micro firms, direct experience and case-studies suggest that their sudden crises and demises are often a product of gradual – internal and external – phenomena that entrepreneurs are not enabled to selectively and promptly detect and…

2014
This thesis aims to analyse the impact that clientelistic political pressures produces on the performance of Amia S.p.A., namely the public utility responsible of managing the solid waste management system of the municipality of Palermo, by making particular reference to the phenomenon of overstaffing. Synthetically, clientelism consists in a series of reciprocal convenience-based relationships between politicians and citizens, commanding unequal resources and involving mutually beneficial transactions in terms of economic, social and political consequences. The motivation of this research arise from the conviction that a deep analysis of this phenomenon, on one hand, could offer a greater …
NEW FINANCIAL RECOVERY PLANS OF ITALIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: AN ASSESSMENT USING OUTCOME-ORIENTED DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
This Ph.D. thesis investigates the new financial recovery plans as instruments which aim to avoid the bankruptcy of local governments in difficulties. This tool was approved by the Italian Central Government by Law Decree No. 174 of 2012. The goal of this work is to verify whether a recovery plan is capable of ensuring fiscal discipline and financial sustainability. The literature on the subject focuses mainly on two aspects: the description of legal framework and the static analysis of recovery plans. The present research, instead, explores the drafting process of recovery plans by investigating the local governments’ decision-making process and the involvement of stakeholders in planning …
