Researching European Union Agencies: What Have We Learnt (and Where Do We Go from Here)?

2017

This review article, with a clear political science and public administration bias, takes stock of the existing literature on EU agencies and suggests a future research agenda. The article reviews studies on EU agencies' organization, tasks, proliferation and location in the political-administrative space. Whether the advent of EU agencies tends to underpin a basically intergovernmental, transnational or supranational order has potentially huge consequences for the distribution of power across levels of government, for the degree of policy uniformity and pooling of administrative resources across countries, for the role of genuinely European perspectives in the policy process, and for accou…

Corporate online presence : a study of eight Finnish exporting companies' corporate websites

2012

Yritykset käyttävät verkkosivujaan tuotteiden ja palveluiden markkinoinnin ohella myös yrityksen mainostamiseen ja verkkoidentiteetin luomiseen. Verkkoidentiteetti heijastaa kielen ja visuaalisen ilmeen kautta yrityksen identiteettiä sekä tavoiteltua yrityskuvaa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää kriittisen diskurssianalyysin avulla millä tavalla suomalaiset vientiyritykset ilmentävät verkkoidentiteettiään sekä kielellisesti että visuaalisesti yritysprofiileissaan. Yritysprofiilit rakentuvat yritystarinoista, joiden tehtävänä on esitellä keskeisiä asioita yrityksestä ja samalla rakentaa tietynlaista kuvaa yrityksestä. Verkkoidentiteetin lisäksi tarkoituksena oli selvittää onko yritystar…

Stakeholder expectations : conceptual foundations and empirical analysis

2015

Expectations are an inseparable part of interaction, whether in interpersonal, intragroup, or organization–stakeholder relations. As a concept, expectations appear frequently in the public relations literature, yet definitions are scarce or narrow. This thesis contributes to the conceptual and empirical understanding of expectations in the context of organization–stakeholder relations and, more specifically, studies how organizations translate their societal roles and how stakeholders form expectations of these roles. The theoretical framework is drawn from Scandinavian institutionalism and corporate responsibility as social connectedness that, first, places organization–stakeholder relatio…

CORPORATE VENTURE CAPITAL AND THE PROBABILITY TO ACQUIRE THE BACKED START-UP: A REAL OPTION PERSPECTIVE

2017

To sustain their competitive positions, an increasing number of corporates access new knowledge and technologies from emerging start-ups by engaging in Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) investments. CVC investments provide corporates the option to in-source start-ups’ knowledge and technologies through follow-on acquisitions. However acquiring a backed start-up is not always a guarantee of success. Then, corporates should consider which are the most appropriate conditions under which it is beneficial to acquire a CVC backed start-up. Utilizing the theoretical lens of Real Option, we examine the conditions under which a CVC investment may evolve into an acquisition of the backed start-up. We p…

Allotropia e usi morfosintattici: bbellu e bbeddu in Sicilia,

2016

Gli sviluppi di -LL- latino nei dialetti siciliani sono generalmente riconducibili allo svolgimento retroflesso in -dd-. La situazione si presenta, invece, meno stabilizzata relativamente agli esiti di BĔLLU(M), nelle valenze morfologiche di aggettivo e di avverbio, dal momento che le sue realizzazioni si declinano in maniera non sempre prevedibile. Tale oscillazione si manifesta anche nell’aggettivo/avverbio in condizione non univerbata. Si registra, infatti, una forte variabilità della pronunzia, non necessariamente connessa a fenomeni di scarsa competenza dialettale. A tal fine, onde individuare una possibile regola o distribuzioni comprensibili dal punto di vista morfologico e diacronic…

I will not serve: la Stilistica dei Corpora e A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man di James Joyce.

2016

Questo manuale non aspira a fornire un quadro esaustivo della Stilistica dei Corpora, ma a proporre oltre che una sintesi dei più recenti studi sull'argomento, un'ipotesi di lettura di alcuni aspetti di un classico della letteratura di lingua inglese, A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man dello scrittore irlandese James Joyce, sovente inserito nei programmi universitari degli studenti di lingua e letteratura inglese. Essendo la bibliografia critica sul romanzo joyciano piuttosto generosa e sempre in progress, si è cercato di adottare un corpus-based approach, ovvero di partire da orientamenti già consolidati per la formazione di nuove prospettive di lettura. Lo scopo è altresì quello di f…

Beyond the notion of security community: What role for the African regional organizations in peace and security?

2005

African regional organizations' increasing activity in security policy is usually approached through the concept of ‘security community’, which can only partially clarify their difficult situation. A multi-level governance model is suggested as a more useful approach in a situation where economic cooperation is weak, member states' principles of governance diverge, and they themselves might be part of security problems. A security community is not a necessary condition for a regional organization to play a role in the field of security. Through new intra-regional and cross-level relationships with the international community and civil society, regional organizations can become important sec…

Free Cash Flow and the Governance of French Firms (Free Cash Flow Et Gouvernance Des Entreprises Françaises)

2008

The limitation of the problem of free cash flow depends on the efficiency of governance mechanisms. In our study, we chose four main governance mechanisms, namely debt, the distribution of dividends, boards of directors and ownership structure. On the basis of a sample of 94 French firms in 2004, the results show that sustained distribution of dividends, a small-sized board of directors and some level of share-ownership by board members and managers are necessary conditions to the resolution of free cash flow. External directors and controlling interests act on free cash flow risk rather indirectly by favouring a massive distribution of dividends. The CEO/chairman duality produces the oppos…
