Impact of supplier-specific investments in inter-organisational information systems on strategic electronic coordination: the moderation effect of bu…
2018
Abstract This paper examines the factors which influence sharing of the strategic information (in other words, electronic coordination) in a buyer–supplier dyad. The antecedents of this coordination are examined rather well in the transaction cost economics (TCE) theory and resource-dependency theory (RDT), while the supply chain management perspective is contemplated. The mentioned frameworks are used in the analysis. However, the research focus is narrowed down to the exploration of the antecedents of information exchange conducted via inter-organisational information systems (IOS). The empirical analysis is based on 198 observations of Norwegian companies operating in different types of …
Strategy : from managers' toy to practitioners' tool to successful implementation

La natura sociale dello spazio costruito : un caso di studio a Palermo
2021
L'approccio progettuale, anche di tipo settoriale e di interazione multidisciplinare tra diversi attori, permette la definizione di azioni di sviluppo comune dove l'architettura non è pensata come punto di riferimento monumentale e statico, ma piuttosto come supporto per l'azione umana. Per questo, durante i lavori del workshop Sea Point, Space to Live, ci siamo proposti di pensare non a priori, ma pragmaticamente alle scale della rappresentazione come le parti di uno strumento indicativo che si identifica, nella possibilità di muoversi tra spazi, una domanda: da dove si entra? È proprio da questa mediazione continua, legata alla strategia dei percorsi, che il progetto individua e valuta, n…
SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STRATEGIES AND FINANCIAL INDICATORS
2010
A very important role in establishment and foundation the activities of a university is strategies and policies developed by management authorities. Through this article we identify the relationship between the components of university strategy and financial indicators, taking into account that financial projections are those that can affirm or overturn the objectives. In this respect, the article is structured in such a way that could provide answer to questions like: What kind of university strategy must be adopted to insure academic success? What is the premises development strategy, as requirements for success in university management? What financial indicators can influence the compone…

Intelligence stratégique et dissimulation dans les outils de géovisualisation en ligne
2014
Interactive geovisualization portals, set up on the Internet after the iconic Google Maps, are highly regarded by the public. They provide the ability to see from above the surface of our planet, and more specifically the French territory in the case of Geoportail. Yet it is forbidden to approach too close to certain objects: on national territory, some 150 sites are in fact hidden by the IGN. This paper question the relevance and efficiency of this operation imposed on the main body of production and dissemination of spatial information in France, in comparison with the means used by other countries.
Past, present, and future of green product innovation
2021
Firms are under constant pressure from various governmental and nongovernmental agencies to switch from conventional environmentally polluting products to green product innovations (GPIs). However, the relevant research pertaining to GPI has been published in a diverse set of journals that vary in their scope and readership and, therefore, the scholarly contribution to the topic remains largely fragmented. This study has utilised a systematic literature review approach to examine the literary corpus on GPI to paint a holistic picture of its different aspects. The content and thematic analysis of 85 studies resulted in the extraction of seven key research themes: organisational capabilities,…
El aprendizaje de la lecto-escritura de alumnos disléxicos mediante el método Gate. Un estudio en las escuelas de enseñanza primaria de Catania (Ital…
2021
Rights reside in people, but the laws specify them and make them effective. The law must guarantee all students equal opportunities in learning: ensure early diagnosis; reward emotional and social difficulties; use specific strategies and educational resources, appropriate assesment and evaluation; ensure communication and collaboration among family, school and health services; achieve full social and professional integration (Law 170/2010). This study aims to analyze the difficulties that dyslexic students encounter in accessing the language code and the adaptation of the Gate method (Taiocchi, 2009) to the students of a primary school in Catania, its application and evaluation of results …
Effects of contextual variables on strategic investment decision-making styles: An empirical study from Pakistan.
2022
There is a gap in the literature of strategic investment decision making (SIDM) concerning the links between context variables, infrastructure and SIDM practices (or SIDM styles) in developing countries. This research aims to fill that gap. Survey data (N = 128) from the manufacturing companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange was collected via an e-mailed questionnaire and visits to the companies. Data are analyzed with factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results reveal what we call four different SIDM styles (or emphases): managerial power-, financial analysis-, top management-, and strategy-based investing. These styles are considered to be novel perspectives on SI…
Not just the sum of its parts : Geographic variation and nonadditive effects of pyrazines in the chemical defence of an aposematic moth
2022
Chemical defences often vary within and between populations both in quantity and quality, which is puzzling if prey survival is dependent on the strength of the defence. We investigated the within- and between-population variability in chemical defence of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis). The major components of its defences, SBMP (2-sec-butyl-3-methoxypyrazine) and IBMP (2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine), are volatiles that deter bird attacks. We hypothesized that (1) variation in the chemical defences of male wood tiger moths reflects the local predation pressure; (2) observed differences in quantity and quality of defence among populations have a genetic basis; and (3) increasing con…
