2020

The United Nations Agenda 2030 has recognized that Social Economy (SE) entities play an important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In order to maximize the impact of the SE, governments have recently deployed new policies regarding these entities. The objective is to understand the context of policy change that has allowed these policies to emerge, their main characteristics and the critical factors in their construction and implementation. Successful policy cases in Europe and Spain have been studied. Qualitative data have been collected through key policy documents, experts, and focus groups. As a main finding, the study shows that this new model of policies exhi…

A Comparative Analysis of Performance Management Systems

2012

Performance management is maturing as an effective organizational approach in public organizations around the world, but the existing models have limitations that must be addressed.

These include the consideration of organizational structure regarding alignment, control, and culture, the positive impact of performance management legislation, the role of executive leadership, and the need for an i…

Legitimacy Maintenance After a Corporate Social Irresponsibility Scandal: Lessons From The Parmalat Case

2014

From the organizations’ perspective, maintaining legitimacy in such contexts has been considered relatively unproblematic (Patriotta, 2011; Scherer et al., 2013) as it entails following adaptive strategies and conforming substantially (or even merely symbolically) to the dominant institutional logics (Suchman, 1995; Elsbach, 1994; Scherer et al., 2013). 3 Nonetheless, whilst the implementation of a adaptive strategy to maintain the corporation with its main audiences is a necessary phase, it cannot be considered sufficient to assure the maintenance of audience support. Audiences evaluate competitive advantage and other sources of reassurance that supporting the company is worthwhile from a …

Banks and Territory: Investigation in Knowledge and Building New Relationships between Territorial Banks and Local Actors

2014

A series of events in the late 1980s, such as the process of market globalization, the birth of virtual economy, the decrease in interest rates, made banks develop a sort of schizophrenic view of the market: on one side, in a scenario of globalization, they wanted to have contacts with international markets, in a logic which should have put an end to the geography of markets (R. O’Brien 1992); on the other side, during the 1990s, banks felt there were strong information asymmetries between suppliers and beneficiaries of funds. Because these asymmetries increased with geographical distance, banks felt the need to specialize and find their own place in the territory or, in other words, the ne…

Un approccio mediterraneo: il “ritorno alla campagna” e il ruolo del turismo per le aree interne

2015

La crisi finanziaria globale coinvolge e sconvolge le economie reali e quindi anche i sistemi valoriali alla base delle strumentazioni di governo delle trasformazioni urbane e territoriali stressando le sperimentazioni di governance dei modelli di sviluppo place based a seconda delle tipologie territoriali e dei loro livelli di declino. Il turismo sostenibile sembra inserirsi in modo utile nelle strategie di resilienza dei territori. Nella prima parte si sottolinea il rapporto tra pianificazione territoriale e agricoltura che torna ad essere centrale. Le ICT spingono la condizione sociale a mutare verso quella di cittadini del mondo che vivono lo spazio ed il tempo immergendosi dentro una v…

Exploring the Shift from Output Measures to Outcome Measures of Service Delivery: Insights from Municipal Research

2021

Prior research shows that reporting on outcome measures increases the probability that local officials will use perform- ance data to inform their decisions. What has been over- looked in the literature is the question of why some local governments continue to focus more on outputs than on out- comes of service delivery, thereby limiting their ability to use performance data for decision-making. The purpose of this art- icle is to identify organizational, individual, and support factors that could increase the probability that local officials in the Apulia Region of Italy when measuring performance, will move beyond the basic measures of output to the more advanced measures of outcome. Base…
