This book explores the diversity of topics, views and perspectives focused on the relationship between information systems, organizations and managerial control. It brings together theories and practices by a diverse group of scholars working in different disciplines: organization, management, accounting, information systems development, human-computer interaction. The volume is divided into three sections, each one focusing on a specific theme: organizational change, innovation and information and communication technologies; organizational control, accounting and information systems; information, knowledge and project management practices. The book is based on a selection of the best research papers - original double blind peer reviewed contributions of the annual conference of the Italian chapter of AIS, held in Milan, Italy in December 2013.
Cultural, economic and political trends are changing the way public administrations are organized and this book examines the new challenges managers face, with the need for a shift from a traditional bureaucratic model to a competency-based approach to organizational design and management in the areas of recruitment, training, career development and assessment. Through the analysis of an experimental project launched jointly by the Italian National School for Administration (SNA) and the Prime Minister’s Office, this book showcases how a competency-based system can be a key tool in reforming HR in the public sector, with significant effects on the organization and management of public administration.

The recent surge of interest in digital ecosystems is not only transforming the business landscape, but also poses several human and organizational challenges. Due to the pervasive effects of the transformation on firms and societies alike, both scholars and practitioners are interested in understanding the key mechanisms behind digital ecosystems, their emergence and evolution. In order to disentangle such factors, this book presents a collection of research papers focusing on the relationship between technologies (e.g. digital platforms, AI, infrastructure) and behaviours (e.g. digital learning, knowledge sharing, decision-making). Moreover, it provides critical insights into how digital ecosystems can shape value creation and benefit various stakeholders. The plurality of perspectives offered makes the book particularly relevant for users, companies, scientists and governments. The content is based on a selection of the best papers – original double-blind peer-reviewed contributions – presented at the annual conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, which took place in Pavia, Italy in October 2018.
This book is dedicated to the memory of Professor Alessandro (Sandro) D'Atri, who passed away in April 2011. Professor D'Atri started his career as a brilliant scholar interested in theoretical computer science, databases and, more generally information processing systems. He journeyed far in various applications, such as human-computer interaction, human factors, ultimately arriving at business information systems and business organisation after more than 20 years of researc hbased on "problem solving". Professor D'Atri pursued the development of an interdisciplinary culture in which social sciences, systems design and human sciences are mutually integrated. Rather than retrospection, th...
In the book Organizational Social Irresponsibility: tools and theoretical insights we focus both on theoretical and practical aspects of organizational social irresponsibility and hope to provide a contribution to the contemporary state of knowledge about its causes and results. The book is divided into three parts: first titled “Organizational Social Irresponsibility: Practices and experiences”, second: “The thousand faces of dark side of business” and third: “Social, cultural and institutional dimensions”. The book is written by a range of authors from all over the world. They provide us with examples of some irregularity in social organizational activity. There were included some theoretical and practical contributions into the topic of organizational social irresponsibility, from different sectors (e.g. pharmaceutical or manufacturing industry as well as public administration) and various organizational processes (such as marketing, training, innovation and knowledge management). We hope it will be a worthy inspiration for struggling with dark sides of organizational existence.
Il videogioco è il medium emblematico della contemporaneità che invita a riflettere sulle nuove modalità dell’uomo di fare conoscenza ed esperienza del mondo. Video-giocare significa per l’utente accedere alla scrittura di una narrazione spaziale, fatta di ambienti virtuali da navigare, azioni da compiere e rappresentazioni multimediali con cui interagire. Il videogioco inizia oggi ad essere accolto anche nelle istituzioni museali che stanno sperimentando linguaggi innovativi al fine di attua¬lizzare il proprio modo di raccontare le opere e le collezioni, offrendo esperienze più interattive e adatte ai nuovi pubblici culturali. Disinteressarsi di questa nuova modalità narrativa sig...
Era il 1987 quando Alma Sabatini, su sollecitazione della Commissione nazionale per la parità e le pari opportunità tra donna e uomo, istituita presso la Presidenza del Consiglio dei ministri, pubblicava Le raccomandazioni per un uso non sessista della lingua italiana. A distanza di oltre trent’anni da quella pubblicazione, il tema ha mantenuto intatta la sua attualità diventando la chiave di volta per la lettura e l’interpretazione delle tematiche e delle politiche di genere. Partendo da questo contesto, gli Atenei di Firenze e di Udine hanno proposto una riflessione sul rapporto tra genere e linguaggio, riportando il tema al centro del dibattito scientifico, ma scevro da quegli aspetti mediatici di cui appare spesso intriso nell’opinione pubblica e che, a volte, finiscono per minarne il vero valore.
