Differenziali Territoriali di Produttivita' ed Efficienza negli Anni '90: i Livelli e l'Andamento

2001

Nel presente lavoro, dopo avere effettuato una rassegna degli approcci esistenti in letteratura sulle ragioni dello sviluppo dualistico dell'economia italiana, si argomenta che per valutare il potere esplicativo di questi approcci e' importante esaminare alcune loro predizioni empiriche relativamente a livello e andamento della produttivita' totale dei fattori, nonche' degli elementi in cui queste variabili possono essere scomposte. Basandosi sui dati dell'Indagine del Mediocredito Centrale, vengono quindi calcolati per gli anni '90 misure di efficienza tecnica, di scala e allocativa, nonche' degli indici di Malmquist, per un campione piuttosto ampio (e territorialmente diversificato) di im…

Knowledge of managerial competencies: cross-cultural analysis between American and European students

2019

This paper reports on the differences of managerial competencies among MBA students from American and European business schools. The results of this research suggest that there are certain differences of not only nationality but also gender. The study also points out the need for different managerial competency profiles to better assess MBA students looking for future career development. The results of this study indicate that there is a difference at the national level between assessed managerial competencies of American and European MBA students that can be attributed to cultural factors. This conclusion confirms the findings of Chong (2008) and Akinola, Martin, and Phillips (2018). Secon…

Regional Development: The Importance of the Involvement of Inhabitants and Innovative Approaches in Management

2021

Innovation and an innovative approach in management, education and leadership have been changing over decades, according to the dynamic world we are living in. Changes start at an individual level, with the personality, and only those who have changed themselves can start to lead others towards global change. The Latvian National Development Plan defined aspects of polycentric development for all the regions of Latvia. Each region has resources, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, but human resources are the most important resource for change, creative ideas and sustainable development. The education system changes very slowly, from lecture learning to a more inclusive ‘learni…

Towards an Economy of Encounters? : A critical study of affectual assemblages in coworking

2017

Abstract Coworking spaces have been established in great numbers around the globe over the past 10 years. Previous studies on coworking spaces argue that these spaces are designed to enable serendipitous encounters. Here we introduce the concept of an economy of encounters, arguing that both intended and unintended encounters have become a form of production in the knowledge-based new economy. This paper draws upon the critical analysis of three case studies of different coworking settings − two open coworking spaces and a corporate coworking office. Following Deleuze and Guattari, we see coworking spaces as affectual assemblages that create affects that push knowledge workers in flow and m…

ES Kohēzijas politikas ietekme uz Baltijas valstu reģionu attīstību

2020

Šī darba temats ir “ES Kohēzijas politikas ietekme uz Baltijas valstu reģionu attīstību”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā ES fondu finansējuma apjoms un investīcijas izglītības uzlabošanā un inovācijās nosaka Baltijas valstu reģionālās atšķirības. Lai īstenotu mērķi, tika pētīti Baltijas valstu nacionāla, reģionāla un vietēja līmeņa attīstības plānošanas dokumenti, kā arī veikts apkopojums par katras valsts vājākā un spēcīgākā reģiona ES fondu projektiem. Tiek secināts, ka spēcīgākie reģioni biežāk īsteno ES fondu finansētus projektus, kas saistīti ar izglītības uzlabošanu un inovāciju attīstību, kā arī tiek secināts, ka spēcīgākie reģioni biežāk īsteno projektus, kas nav saistīti ar infrast…

Wyspa w krajobrazie jako problem regionalizacji fizyczno-geograficznej na przykładzie Garbu Opola

2016

W regionalizacji fizyczno-geograficznej Polski obszar Garbu Opolskiego zaliczony został do makrore-gionu Nizina Śląska i mezoregionu Pradolina Wrocławska. Kwalifikacja ta nie jest zgodna z kryteria-mi wyróżniania mezoregionów i makroregionów. Garb Opolski pod względem budowy geologicznej może być identyfikowany jako część nieodległej Wyżyny Śląskiej, choć położony jest na znacząco mniejszej wysokości niż granica hipsometryczna między nizinami a wyżynami. Przykład Garbu Opolskiego pokazuje problem określenia przynależności wyspowych jednostek fizyczno-geograficznych na pograniczu wyżyn i nizin Polski. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wska-zano na dwie możliwości rozwiązania podobnych prob…

ANALYSING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN URBAN LAND USE FRAGMENTATION METRICS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC VARIABLES

2016

Abstract. Analysing urban regions is essential for their correct monitoring and planning. This is mainly accounted for the sharp increase of people living in urban areas, and consequently, the need to manage them. At the same time there has been a rise in the use of spatial and statistical datasets, such as the Urban Atlas, which offers high-resolution urban land use maps obtained from satellite imagery, and the Urban Audit, which provides statistics of European cities and their surroundings. In this study, we analyse the relations between urban fragmentation metrics derived from Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) data from the Urban Atlas dataset, and socio-economic data from the Urban Audit f…
