I temi legati all’etica sono sempre più presenti nelle discipline economico-aziendali. L’accantonamento dell’idea di homo oeconomicus esclusivamente razionale e spesso miope, permette ai manager di considerare il fattore “etica” nei processi decisionali. Ciò comporta indubbi risvolti positivi sul piano della competitività e delle relazioni con tutt...

In this paper, we analyze the evolution of China’s production structure. Through the use of a subsystem approach and world input-output tables, we assess the role played by domestic and foreign final demand in the Chinese manufacturing subsystem. The results indicate that the importance of domestic demand has increased since the years of the crisis...

There is a long tradition in economics that argues that the industrial sector has always been the engine of economic growth. However, in recent years, deindustrialisation has affected the European countries, albeit with differences, and the most negative effects of this process have occurred on the employment side rather than on value-added. While...

Digital technologies have created new alternative sources of entrepreneurial finance that create significant opportunities for start-ups and entrepreneurs. Among them, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) have attracted significant attention from the start-up community and from investors. Despite all the hype around ICOs and the growing number of new toke...

This paper analyses the dynamics of intersectoral and interregional relationships in Italy over the decade 2000-2010. In particular, an interregional inputoutput model is presented to measure the intermediate links between manufacturing and market services from a territorial perspective. The analysis shows that the process of intersectoral integrat...

A management control system is traditionally defined as a system of different parts linked to the planning and control activities. Firm dynamics’ growing complexity requires an extension of this definition of a management control system. The latter is required, because, in addition to such a system’s main features, (e.g., its management, organizati...

In the Kaldorian tradition, manufacturing is the main engine of growth. Deindustrialization is a concern for economists and policymakers. This study analyses deindustrialization occurring in the 28 EU countries, in the years 1991–2017. We use a methodology, that decomposes manufacturing employment, to examine if deindustrialization is caused by the...

This paper aims to investigate the «administrative capacity» of the Italian Regions from a comparative perspective. In particular, the analysis considers several variables linked to the administrative capacity to build a «composite indicator of administrative capacity». This could be a useful indicator to assess regional disparities from a new poin...

The present study aims to provide additional evidence for the role and importance of related variety in manufacturing in fostering employment growth among Italian provinces (nuts 3) over the period 2001-2011. The focus is on assessing the sectoral specificities by adopting Pavitt's taxonomy. Concerning potential complementarities between manufactur...

This paper investigates the intersectoral linkages created by structural change in China by adopting a subsystem approach to an input-output system. The subsystem is an autonomous vertically integrated production system that overcomes the horizontal traditional sectoral boundaries, while considering integration between manufacturing and service...

This paper aims to provide new findings on the extent of the deindustrialisation process by adopting a new subsystem approach. In particular, we have extended the subsystem approach in a multi-country setting using world input-output tables. An empirical investigation is carried out on the four largest eurozone countries based on the World Input-Ou...

The imbalances among countries belonging to the European Monetary Union (EMU) have been analysed under several angles in recent years, but often neglecting the evolution of economic and productive structures. In this work, we aim to fill this gap analyzing the countries specialization through the differences in the inter-industrial linkages that af...
