‘We are all responsible now’: Governmentality and responsibilized subjects in corporate social responsibility
2014
The corporate social responsibility promise is a fascinating one: companies are able and willing to regulate themselves, and self-regulation is manifested in collaborative efforts that promote individual well-being. Yet, this macro-level promise has a silenced flip side in organizational contexts. We argue that corporate social responsibility has diffused the idea of employee responsibilization into organizational environments, so it entails a dual role for employees: employees become both the objects and the subjects of corporate social responsibility. The primary aim of this article is thus to develop a theoretical understanding that acknowledges the role of individual members of the org…
Improving Smart City Design : A Conceptual Model for Governing Complex Smart City Ecosystems
2018
Smart city concept is a viable nominee to solve the dilemmas urbanization creates globally. By means of digital technologies like Internet-of-Things, artificial intelligence and data analytics cities aim to optimize city performances like mobility, environment, security, health care and social services. Furthermore, cities actively endorse usage of digital technologies to foster digitalization and new business innovation to nurture local economy and social well-being.

Gli obblighi europei di tutela penale dell'ambiente tra responsabilità individuali e corporative. L'attuazione della direttiva 2008/99/CE in Italia, …
La tesi affronta il tema della tutela penale dell'ambiente in chiave europea, vero e proprio banco di prova per le possibilità e i limiti dell'armonizzazione europea dei sistemi penali degli Stati membri. La legislazione ambientale, invero, ha assunto un ruolo emblematico nel percorso che ha condotto alla progressiva estensione della competenza normativa europea al campo penale: è in tale campo di materia, infatti, che si è registrata per la prima volta l'adozione di direttive di armonizzazione penale. Ci si interroga, dunque, sull’ "effetto utile" degli obblighi di criminalizzazione promananti dal legislatore europeo sul fronte dell'armonizzazione delle legislazioni penali nazionali di set…
El proceso creador del actor corporal: de la gramática a la representación.
2015
La realidad teatral del siglo XX es impulsora de un cambio del paradigma actoral. Durante este siglo se pasa de un actor basado en modelos decimonónicos de tradición grecolatina, a un modelo actoral que se fundamenta en el redescubrimiento del cuerpo y en la conquista de la acción física. Esta realidad es la causa de la aparición de nuevos sistemas en relación a la corporalidad del actor, los cuales son impulsados por directores-pedagogos que buscan configurar el movimiento significativo del actor como eje de creación. Este nuevo paradigma es el punto de partida de la presente tesis, cuya metodología está fundamentada en la investigación de la práctica actoral y en la práctica artística com…

Towards Ecosystemic Stance in Finnish Public Sector Enterprise Architecture
2019
Governments and organizations in both public and private sector are operating in fields of ever-growing uncertainty and complexity. To study this complex environment, the concept of ecosystems has been suggested, interpreting organizations as intertwined systems among layers of evolving ecosystems. While offering possibilities, operating in an ecosystemic environment might prove to be challenging, and the change from traditional governance structures might be difficult to manage, requiring holistic yet detailed view. Enterprise Architecture (EA) has been an interest of academics and practitioners for few decades, offering one of the most prominent solutions to managing complex organizations…

2013

An ad-hoc comparable corpus has been created from the official websites of National Parks which represent a kind of eco-tourist destination. The analysis attempts to trace a profile of Canadian and Italian eco-tourists Drawing upon the Functional Grammar (Halliday 1985) and addresses issues connected with Hall’s model (1983): Are Canadian and Italian ecotourism discourses shaped by their own cultural orientation, or do they attempt to speak in the tongue of the displaced tourist?
