Scritti in onore di Pellegrino Capaldo
2014
La qualità dei servizi è stata riconosciuta come un rilevante aspetto caratterizzante la performance dell’azienda pubblica, analogamente alla capacità di operare secondo criteri di efficienza e nel rispetto dei vincoli di bilancio. Sebbene sia possibile riscontrare alcuni significativi casi di adozione di politiche di customer satisfaction nelle amministrazioni pubbliche italiane, a tutt’oggi il tema presenta significative criticità, specialmente in ordine agli aspetti metodologici e agli strumenti operativi che consentano di integrare dette politiche nel sistema di programmazione e controllo delle aziende che erogano tali servizi. Il presente lavoro adotta una diversa prospettiva di analis…
The Reform and Innovation as Rhetoric and Method
2018
We start from an observation from a well-known Swedish organisational analyst, Nils Brunsson, which reads like irony but feels like reality: the only guaranteed outcome of (organisational) reform is the next reform. What Brunsson calls ‘the reform of reform’ will be – all too – familiar to many readers, particularly those working in the public sector. Given repeated exposure to permanent reorganization – brought in under the mantel of reform and innovation – it is tempting to ascribe this permanent revolution to one or both of two causes: the failure of previous reform attempts and/or the need of senior managers to demonstrate their ‘transformative’ effects upon their organization in order …
Población y capital humano en España
2010
Se analiza las inversiones educativas en España desde una perspectiva histórica, haciendo referencia también a una comparación intenacional que permite resaltar algunos de los problemas que padece el sistema de enseñanza español respecto a los de las principales economías de su entorno. Después de describir el nivel de formación formal de la población adulta y de la población activa, se analiza los cambios que se han producido a largo plazo en la demanda de educación, haciendo una lectura comparada de los hechos a través de la organización del sistema educativo.
L’influence des facteurs stratégiques et organisationnels sur les relations entre contrôle de gestion environnemental et apprentissage organisationne…
2020
Cet article étudie les relations entre contrôle de gestion environnemental (CGE) et apprentissage organisationnel (AO) en inscrivant le modèle de Simons (1995) dans une perspective contingente. Par des facteurs stratégiques et organisationnels, ce modèle enrichi explique les liens entre les modes de contrôle (diagnostique et interactif) de Simons et les niveaux d’apprentissage (en simple et double boucle) d’Argyris et Schön (1978). S’appuyant sur le « cas révélateur » d’une éco-PME missionnaire, l’étude montre l’influence de trois facteurs (valeurs fortes, stratégie proactive, cycle de vie des activités) sur les quatre configurations relationnelles CGE-AO et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives …
Do social enterprises walk the talk? Assessing microfinance performances with mission statements
2019
We study mission drift in social enterprises by examining whether these organizations stick to the actual mission enshrined in their mission statements. We use data from microfinance organizations (MFOs), a homogeneous group of social enterprises which have been scrutinized—and sometimes criticized—for mission drift. We focus on three publicly recognized and non-mutually-exclusive microfinance social missions identified by previous studies: poverty alleviation, women's empowerment, and rural financial inclusion. Based on hand-collected data from 199 MFOs worldwide, our results suggest strong coherence between social missions and actual practices. Hence, we argue that, with respect to MFOs' …
Unravelling green regional industrial path development: Regional preconditions, asset modification and agency
2020
Abstract Regions across the world are searching for ways to fashion new green growth paths and to promote green shifts in mature industries. The article aims to explore conceptually and based on illustrative empirical examples from the literature how green restructuring unfolds in regions. We propose a framework that explicates how regional preconditions in form of pre-existing industrial structures, organisational support structures, institutional set-ups and natural assets are transformed into various types of green path development through agentic processes of asset modification.
Theorising about barriers to open e-learning systems in public administrations
2018
Abstract Barriers to the general use of e-learning technology are known across various contexts. Despite increasing efforts to clarify the range of these barriers, few efforts have been made to advance the theorising about them and, thus, to answer why and how they unfold. This study is motivated to overcome this unaddressed problem and develops a process model based on adaptive structuration theory (AST) and the punctuated socio-technical change model (PSIC). It represents how barriers unfold between actors, technology, and organisational properties in public administrations. The PaSIC model provides a new perspective on how critical incidents drive the emergence and progress of barriers t…
Droit international public et action humanitaire : deux "acteurs" de la protection des droits de l'enfant
2014
By making a survey of the several rules of current public international law, this dissertation will try to make the reader undestand the importance of the protection of children's rights all over the world. Nowadays, children die every minute because of conflicts, diseases, malnutrition..., a lot of them are exploited and have no possibilities of going to school, seeing their future escaping them every day a little more. It is against all these too recurring problems that States have to intervene by exercising their legislator's role, both on the international level and on the national level. But they also have to take their role of subject of law by respecting the international conventions…
Fractal geometry for measuring and modelling urban patterns
2007
Urban growth generates nowadays patterns, which look rather irregular. Planning policy regrets the lack of compactness and density of these agglomerations, but controlling urban sprawl turns out to be difficult. Obviously a new type of spatial organisation emerges, which is rather the result of a self-organisation process to which a high number of social agents contribute. In the present contribution we focus on the use of fractal geometry which turned out to be a powerful instrument for describing the morphology of these patterns. After an introduction about the context of research, fractal models are presented, which serve as reference models for better understanding the spatial organisat…
