Digital Transformation and Human Behavior
The digital transformation is impacting various aspects of how we live and work. Due to the pervasive effects of the digital revolution on firms and societies, both scholars and practitioners are interested in better understanding the key mechanisms behind the related challenges. This book presents a collection of research papers focusing on the relationships between technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence, social media, and the Internet of Things) and behaviours (e.g. social learning, knowledge sharing, and decision-making). Moreover, it provides insights into how the digital transformation may improve quality of personal life and work life within public and private organisations. The plurality of views offered makes this book particularly relevant for practitioners, companies, scientists, and governments. It gathers 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 was held in Naples, Italy, in September 2019.
Territori creativi
Il termine creativit utilizzato non solo in relazione alle attivit artistiche e culturali, ma anche allo sviluppo economico di aziende e di aree geografiche. Se, dunque, alla creativit attribuita una grande importanza sia per il valore economico e sociale prodotto dalle industrie creative sia per gli effetti di spill over generati nei confronti di settori economici pi tradizionali, diventa critico riflettere sulle modalit con cui le organizzazioni e gli enti pubblici possono sfruttarne appieno il potenziale. Questo libro cerca di contribuire a questa riflessione sia analizzando le modalit pi efficaci per innalzare la soglia di creativit di un territorio, sia mostrando come una visione interdisciplinare possa fare emergere nuove prospettive di studio e di azione. LŐobiettivo quello di fornire un utile strumento per quanti si avvicinano al tema sia come accademici sia come pubblici amministratori. Coerentemente, ogni capitolo presenta sia un inquadramento teorico che fa il punto della situazione sulla letteratura scientifica esistente sia alcuni casi pratici utili per coloro che vorranno replicare nel loro territorio buone strade gi praticate.
Beyond Monopoly
Current trends of globalization have influenced the social, economic, and political framework of national media worldwide.

Collaborative Spaces at Work
Collaborative spaces are more than physical locations of work and production. They present strong identities centered on collaboration, exchange, sense of community, and co-creation, which are expected to create a physical and social atmosphere that facilitates positive social interaction, knowledge sharing, and information exchange. This book explores the complex experiences and social dynamics that emerge within and between collaborative spaces and how they impact, sometimes unexpectedly, on creativity and innovation. Collaborative Spaces at Work is timely and relevant: it will address the gap in critical understandings of the role and outcomes of collaborative spaces. Advancing the debate...
The River City Chronicles
Everyone in the River City has a secret, and sooner or later secrets always come out. A group of strangers meets at Ragazzi, an Italian restaurant, for a cooking lesson that will change them all. They quickly become intertwined in each other's lives, and a bit of magic touches each of them. Meet Dave, the consultant who lost his partner; Matteo and Diego, the couple who run the restaurant; recently-widowed Carmelina; Marcos, a web designer getting too old for hook-ups; Ben, a trans author writing the Great American Novel; teenager Marissa, kicked out for being bi; and Sam and Brad, a May-September couple who would never have gotten together without a little magic of their own.
Management of Cultural Firms
Cultural organizations play a variety of roles in contemporary society: they may be tools for cultural diplomacy, tourist attractors, educational and research-oriented institutions, relevant brokers for social inclusion. They therefore need to respond to the expectations of multiple private and public actors. This book explores their specific conditions for long-term viability, which are dependent on a complex interplay between economic and non-economic factors. Cultural organizations--private, nonprofit, and public--are analyzed in their structural components and in their interactions with market and institutional players. The relationship between operating decisions and results is taken into consideration, in order to highlight the drivers of economic results.
Reputation and Strength of Ties in Predicting Commercial Success and Artistic Merit of Independents in the Italian Feature Film Industry
We investigate what factors are required in order to succeed in project-based cultural industries. In particular, we focus on the effects of relational stability and reputation on two key dimensions of movies' success: commercial success and artistic merit. We combine the two dimensions of films' performance for a more accurate understanding of how authenticity and artistic merit are manufactured in the movie industry. We examine this question by analysing a sample of Italian films and focusing on the role of the film director. We argue that commercial success is favoured by a director's strong vertical ties (with producers and distributors) and economic reputation, while artistic merit is positively affected by a director's weak horizontal ties (with other creative partners) and artistic reputation. We propose an explanation in terms of varying degrees of task routineness and we use it to account for the divergence between our results and others in the cultural and organizational literature.
