Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi nell’attuale panorama della scuola multiculturale.

2017

Il contributo presenta una riflessione sulla scuola attraverso il contributo pedagogico dello zurighese Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. Partendo dalla sua idea degli “stati dell'umanità”, viene analizzata la situazione dell'educazione nella scuola italiana, sempre più multiculturale. Inoltre, si terrà conto dei metodi di didattica interculturale più appropriati, considerando le inclinazioni e la storia di ciascun alunno e al fine di accompagnare ciascuno nella realizzazione delle proprie potenzialità, per vivere in futuro da protagonista in un mondo che cambia velocemente. The paper presents a reflection on the current Italian educational system, starting from the conceptual legacy of the Swiss…

On the Returns to Invention within Firms: Evidence from Finland

2018

International audience; In this paper we merge individual income data, firm-level data, patenting data, and IQ data in Finland over the period 1988–2012 to analyze the returns to invention for inventors and their coworkers or stakeholders within the same firm. We find that: (i) inventors collect only 8 percent of the total private return from invention; (ii) entrepreneurs get over 44 percent of the total gains; (iii) bluecollar workers get about 26 percent of the gains and the rest goes to white-collar workers. Moreover, entrepreneurs start with significant negative returns prior to the patent application, but their returns subsequently become highly positive.

Ewolucja ludzkości według Hoene-Wrońskiego

2017

The aim of this article is to recall and, at the same time, to update, the theory of the evolution of humanity by Josef Hoëné-Wronski. I am trying to show that the author of Metapolitics (Métapolitique messianique) and of other philosophical and mathematical works was much ahead of his contemporaries concerning his ideas about evolution and these ideas, although expressed in a somewhat archaic and obscure language, are still valid for us today. Hoëné-Wronski has boldly challenged the deterministic picture of the world emerging from modern science and has derived human evolution from the moral and rational development of human beings. He divided it into seven stages. My interpretation of Hoë…

Knowledge as a fictitious commodity: a Polanyian reading of the 'digital economy'

2020

Since the 2008 financial crisis, the attempts to use Karl Polanyi's framework to make sense of current developments have multiplied, producing a noticeable and lively debate. This debate centres on the notion of double movement put forward by the Hungarian thinker in his masterpiece – The Great Transformation. The paper is a contribution to this debate. The first part addresses a series of questions that make the interpretations of the double movement advanced so far not very compelling. To this end, a close reading of Polanyi's text, with the aim of dismantling and rearticulating its analytical structure, is carried out. The upshot is a dynamic and multistage picture of the double process …

Polanyi's double movement and the making of the ‘knowledge economy'

2019

In this chapter, we want to re-evaluate the heuristic role of Polanyi’s double movement by suggesting an alternative reading that could answer several criticisms that have been levelled against it. Moreover, we believe that this reading can give us greater insight into both the nature of the current crisis and its failure to unravel the neoliberal consensus.1 According to our reading, since the Speenhamland measures introduced in 1795 in Britain, faulty welfarist solutions have had the ability to undermine the political force of countermovements calling for protective measures while helping pro-market coalitions to periodically regenerate themselves. For us, this means that the future resol…

Knowledge management in higher education: a literature review and further research avenues

2020

Despite the growing interest in knowledge management (KM) for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), research on this topic is still fragmented and loosely focused. This paper adds to this research by providing a state-of-the-art of the current literature and outlining overlooked areas of investigation in order to address further studies towards bridging this gap. To this purpose, through a systematic review process, 121 articles have been coded and analysed according to distinct dimensions. Findings reveal that, despite the growing trend of papers on the topic, research on KM in HEIs is still in its embryonic stage with high levels of heterogeneity and lack of wider theoretical constructs. …

Recognizing and Valuating Intangible Resources - Major Difficulties in Organisational Management

2017

AbstractThe measurement of intangible resources, intellectual capital, has become a major area of investigation for researchers and practitioners, with increasing concerns for monitoring and valuating this type of capital. In spite of this, the approaches to these issues have not been harmonised, therefore management is currently experiencing real difficulties in the assessment and measurement of intangible resources. In this article we wanted to review the valuation of intangible resources from a theoretical point of view, by highlighting the features of the most important valuation methods established in the literature.

A review of the main approaches to knowledge management

2008

The purpose of this paper is to order and connect different perspectives on the creation and management of knowledge. Several proposals for the classification of the main approaches to knowledge management are considered and their connections and differences discussed. Three main groups emerge: measuring knowledge, managing knowledge (either with greater emphasis on the human factor or on information technologies) and creating knowledge. After selecting and analysing selection of the most relevant studies in this area, these concepts can be arranged into a continuum from a more descriptive perspective to a more normative one. The main contribution of this study is the compilation of literat…
