Abstract:
This research applies Nelson’s (1993) primary typology of enterprises to understand why the propensity for innovation varies across ceramics district innovation systems in Europe. We use innovation systems and industrial district theories to explore the innovation capacity of the two most important ceramic tile industrial districts in Europe—Emilia Romagna in Italy and Castellon in Spain. Our analysis shows that, in both districts, innovation plays a decisive role in allowing companies to maintain competitiveness in a globalizing market. However, by comparing the composition of their district innovation systems, our analysis shows that: (i) although levels of competition in both districts are similar, cooperation is stronger in Italy; (ii) scarce technology and advanced service providers in Spain make it predominantly a follower in the adoption of innovation; (iii) higher innovation intensity in Italy is due to diffusion of technology from firms in neighbouring districts specialized in other industry sectors. We provide strong evidence indicating that differences in the industry mix shape both national and district innovation systems.

Abstract:
The paper is a contribution to the debate about the theoretical aspects, the structure, and the competitiveness of Italian industrial districts. The work first examines the theoretical strand on industrial districts ranging from Marshall to Becattini, and focusing on the contemporary distrettualism of Giacomo Becattini, where the district is essentially a socio-economic construct and an important localized productive system. Furthermore, the paper offers an updated picture of the Italian industrial districts as they are represented in the 2011 Census by the National Statistics Institute. Finally, this study underlines the resilient competitive capacity of this typical form of industrial organization. Then, through empirical literature, it analyzes the Italian district companies, and their performance and success in foreign markets, especially with regard to “Made in Italy” products.

Abstract:
The “historical alternatives” approach calls for research into the role of national institutions and public policies in the resilience or decline of industrial districts. Policies in support of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were launched in various Western economies in the second half of the twentieth century. This article focuses on the paradigmatic Italian case and investigates the importance of government subsidies for SMEs on firms located in a southern and a northeastern district, between 1971 and 1991. This discussion deepens our understanding of the role of national policies in the reemergence of industrial districts in the decades of the Second Industrial Divide. It also indicates the importance of firms’ utilization of subsidies and their ecosystem as complementary to the policy's effectiveness.

Abstract:
This paper describes the results of a survey that was carried out in nineteen industrial districts in Italy. The data collected clearly show that the districts examined are undergoing a period of transition towards configurations that diverge from the neo-Marshallian model. In the past, industrial districts functioned as rather closed local networks whose only points of contact outside their confines were established at the extremities of the district system of value. This closure to the outside environment has certainly not inhibited, until the last years, the competitive advantage of the industrial districts or the firms that operate inside them. Today, on the other hand, the competitiveness of closed local networks has to meet the increasing level of globalization in the economy. The key transformation observed in all the districts included in the survey is the opening-up of the local system of value that goes beyond the mere acquisition of raw materials or the sale of goods. In other words, the districts are relating more and more with external holders of knowledge and resources, transforming a relatively closed system of exchange at local level into something rather different.

Abstract:
This thesis is composed of three chapters developed within international business, industrial districts and network theories. The debate on internationalisation and location of manufacturing activities has been widely analysed in the literature, however I think there is still room for improvement by adapting the general scenario to the specific context of industrial districts or networks as well. Furthermore, firms should be considered not just as single entities isolated form the local context, but regional and local factors could influence their behaviours and their profitability. For these reasons, it is important to take into consideration the surrounding environment where social capital and value creation through innovation might impact firm’s performances (domestically and internationally). The framework of industrial districts and local characteristics is commonly recognised as a key feature of the Italian scenario, where small and medium size firms are closely located and can take the advantages of sectoral specialisation to foster productivity and knowledge spillovers. After revising the literature on these themes, the Thesis aims to deeper investigate the link between the location of manufacturing activities at the national and global scale and its effects over firm’s performances, empirically testing this relation for industrial district firms and networks in Italy.
Questa tesi è composta da tre saggi focalizzati principalmente sui temi di Internazionalizzazione, Distretti Industriali e Reti di Imprese. Il dibattito sull’internazionalizzazione e la localizzazione delle attività manifatturiere è stato scrupolosamente approfondito dalla letteratura, ma risultano di interesse, sia a livello teorico che empirico, studi relativi all’adattamento della teoria generale al contesto specifico dei distretti industriali e delle alleanze tra imprese. Le imprese non devono essere considerate solamente come strutture atomistiche isolate dall’ ambiente circostante. Caratteristiche regionali e locali possono interessare il loro comportamento e la loro profittabilità. Per questo motivo, è importante considerare anche alcuni fattori a livello locale come il capitale sociale e la creazione di valore (attraverso l’innovazione) e il loro impatto sulla performance di impresa, sia sul mercato domestico che internazionale. I distretti industriali, così come alleanze e gruppi di impresa, sono riconosciuti su scala internazionale quali peculiarità del panorama economico Italiano, dove piccole e medie imprese condividono lo stesso territorio e specializzazione industriale. Alla prossimità geografica e settoriale sono a loro volta legati l’aumento della produttività di impresa e una più rapida diffusione della conoscenza. Dopo aver approfondito la letteratura relativa ai temi appena riportati, l’obiettivo che questa Tesi si pone è di investigare la connessione tra la localizzazione delle attività manifatturiere sia a livello locale che globale, cogliendo l’impatto di questa sulla performance aziendale delle imprese dei distretti industriali e di quelle aderenti ai contratti di rete.

Abstract:
L'obiettivo della mia tesi è stato quello di condurre un'analisi congiunta dei distretti industriali e dei sistemi d'innovazione da un punto di vista empirico. Il mio lavoro è stato impostato su uno studio comparativo di un distretto industriale di macchine agricole in Argentina ed uno in Italia rilevando i loro punti deboli e di forza e contribuendo ad un'analisi comparativa del sistema d'innovazione in un paese sviluppato (Italia) ed in un altro in via di sviluppo (Argentina). A tal fine ho condotto una disamina dell'industria metalmeccanica e dell'industria mondiale delle macchine agricole confrontando i settori italiani e argentini. Infine ho considerato, il conglomerato industriale della città di Las Parejas (Santa Fe-Argentina) e della Regione Marche (Italia) osservando come essi siano due distretti industriali in un sistema innovativo influenzati dalla sua storia, dalla sua cultura e dal suo contesto giuridico ed istituzionale, variabili, queste, che attraverso la loro influenza hanno ritardato o spinto lo sviluppo del settore.
The purpose of the thesis was to conduct an analysis of industrial districts and innovation systems de manera conjunta desde un punto de vista empírico. I made a comparative study of an industrial district of agricultural machinery in Argentina and one in Italy; noting weaknesses and strengths, thus contributing with a comparative analysis of the innovation system, applied in a developed country (Italy) and another in a developing country (Argentina). For this I conducted a study of the metal-mechanic industry, the global agricultural machinery industry, in contrast with Italian and Argentine sectors. For it I considered, the industrial conglomerate of the city of Las Parejas (Santa Fe-Argentina) and Marche Region (Italy), observing that are two industrial districts in an innovative system, that are influenced by its history, its culture, and its legal and institutional context; variables that through their influence, have delayed or driven the development of the sector.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis has been to analyse the textile industry of Prato between the years 1991 and 2001. The district has been examined in terms of population, employment, firms and international trade and we have examined the industry in the region weighted against the whole Italy. Moreover, the Location quotation has been used to measure the degree of specialization. Theories about cluster and industrial districts have been utilized to give a background to agglomeration of firms. The conclusions from our analysis are that Prato consists of a large group of firms acting in similar industry in a specific location. The district is highly dominated by small firms, which are engage in the production of a homogenous product through different stages. In terms of international trade, Prato has been able to increase its exports between the years 1995 to 2001. Furthermore, our examination of Prato shows a reduction of employment and number of firms operating within the textile sector, while the degree of specialization has increased. Our inference is that this contradiction is due to the decrease of the total textile industry in the whole country.


Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att analysera textilindustrin i Prato mellan åren 1991 och 2001. Regionen har analyserats i termer av befolkning, sysselsättning, företag och internationell handel, och vi har undersökt industrin i regionen i jämförelse med hela Italien. Dessutom har en lokaliseringskvot använts för att mäta graden av specialisering. Teorier om kluster och industriella distrikt har använts för att ge en bakgrund till hopsamling av företag. Slutsatsen vi har dragit från vår analys är att Prato består av en stor grupp företag som verkar inom en liknande industri på en specifik plats. Distriktet är till stor del dominerat av små företag vilka är sysselsatta i produktionen av en homogen produkt inom olika steg av produktionen. Gällande den internationella handeln har Prato lyckats öka sin export mellan åren 1995 och 2001. Vår undersökning av Prato har även visat en minskning av sysselsättningen och antalet företag inom industrin, men samtidigt en ökad grad av specialisering. Vår slutsats är att detta något motsägelsefulla beror på en minskning av den totala textilindustrin i hela landet.

Abstract:
Small and medium-sized companies in Italy --the backbone of the economy or an obsolete production system? Analyse and prediction of the future development. This thesis is focused on the problems of small and medium-sized companies in Italy in the actual context of globalization and strong competion, especially in the traditional italian industries. Moreover, the political situation in the country is quite unstable and together with the omnipresent bureaucracy the everyday life is more difficult for the companies. In the first part I introduce the history backgrounds of the small and middle-sized companies and also the italian phenomenon "distretti industriali" -- indutrial districts. I also dedicated the first chapter to the specific features of family companies. In the second part the main social-economic problems of the country are described as well as some possible strategies in the context of the state export-focused programmes coordinated on the EU level. With the help of some companies that agreed to answer my questionary I tried to analyse the situation in state assistance to these companies In the last part, the reactions and answers of the companies are summed-up.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to analyze the key role that knowledge, Social Capabilities and innovations play in the transfer and diffusion of tacit knowledge in an industrial district and how this creates new knowledge and innovation. The study is also focused on a measure of Social Capabilities within a district using a composite indicator and we investigate the effective role of these inputs in stimulating innovative activity in an industrial district performance. The analysis, measuring Social Capabilities, requires data collection using a questionnaire designed to obtain information which permit the development of qualitative and quantitative indicators. In contrast with the neoclassical production function, where economic growth depends only on traditional resources such as capital, labour and technology, which is an exogenous datum, in the cognitive approach we must consider the residual variables of Social Capabilities and knowledge. These, in fact, represent the key variables to understand the recent structural changes and competitiveness of an industrial district. In this work, the peculiarity of knowledge rests on Social Capabilities or social abilities to increase the process of the accumulation of knowledge and of the network broadening. The former depends on the degree of cumulativeness, and appropriability, represented by the capacity of new knowledge to generate further new knowledge and innovation. The greater is the degree of appropriability of knowledge and in particular of tacit knowledge, the smaller becomes the capacity for its diffusion in a district and its growth. A higher level of knowledge and Social Capabilities corresponds to a higher degree of innovation. The diffusion of the network depends on the degree of cooperation and on the positive externalities of an industrial district. In the theoretical part, the discussion focuses on the concept of knowledge and of Social Capabilities, on the different typologies of knowledge, its creation and diffusion in firm networks utilizing Nonaka and Takeuchi’s model, on the nature and definition of Social Capabilities in the industrial district and on the relationship among these and innovation. The empirical aspect is based upon original results of surveys carried out on a sample of entrepreneurs in Southern Italy specializing in a special industrial district composed of wedding dresses and baby dresses utilizing a multi-method approach. To highlight the relationship existing between innovation and Social Capabilities, we chose our sample within three categories, classical, innovative and traditional/fashion utilizing the academic classification. We measure Social Capabilities, we describe the Social Capabilities diffusion in the case study and finally we present our empirical analysis estimating an innovation equation.

This thesis investigates work and industrial relations in the Herning-Ikast and Prato textile and clothing industrial districts (IDs). It offers a multilevel, empirical investigation of employee working conditions and industrial relations comparing ID and non-ID firms. The study includes employers and employees in 78 firms. Three main work-related elements are examined. First, the antecedents of employees’ positive perception of unions and union membership are explored. Second, central aspects related to employee functional flexibility (i.e. changing tasks and positions within the firm) are investigated. Finally, elements determining the degree of employees’ positive evaluation of their job in terms of opportunities for learning and development and general contentment are investigated. All three elements are analysed by comparing ID/non-ID firms and Danish/Italian firms. Questions related to work in family firms are also raised. The findings reveal that employees in family firms to a lesser extent were members of unions and reported being less functionally flexible. Moreover, the number of family member employees in a firm was negatively related to employees’ positive job evaluation. A trend toward better social relations in ID firms is seen. Findings show a lower degree of functional flexibility exerted by ID employees, suggesting the importance of alternative flexibility types in ID firms. Important national differences are seen, possibly reflecting the different ways in which the textile and clothing sector has developed as well as a more longstanding Danish tradition of focusing on the improvement of employees’ psychosocial working conditions. Findings also indicate that the degree to which the ID industrial relations vary from the national industrial relations models is dissimilar for Herning-Ikast and Prato. In view of the findings of this thesis the generalisability, transferability and future of the phenomenon of industrial districts is discussed.

Abstract:
This work presents the developments of representing a part of the city districts of Manchester, UK and Turin, IT initiated within the FP7 DIMMER project completed in 2016 and continued in the last years by the Center of Excellence GIS of CSI Piemonte. The DIMMER system integrates BIM (building information modelling) and district level 3D models with real-time data from sensors and user feedback to analyze and correlate buildings utilization and provide real-time feedback about energy-related behaviors. The emerging standard 3D Tiles endorsed by the OGC was applied to represent CityGML data of two districts of Turin, Italy and Manchester, UK. 3D Tiles allows for a high level of detail (LOD) visualization that displays increasing detail of geometric features and their alphanumeric properties. Currently, the OGC 3D Tiles technology is mature, and the OGC CityGML specification will be soon updated to version three, with the adoption of exciting innovations like the support of time-dependent properties defined Dynamizers.

The global economy is transforming the sources of the competitive advantages of firms, especially for firms embedded in local manufacturing systems. Based on the theoretical contributions to knowledge management and industrial districts, this chapter describes alternative firm’s strategies and upgrading options by exploring the relationships among innovation, marketing, and network technologies. Starting from the analysis of the Global Competitiveness Report and the European Innovation Scoreboard, this chapter focuses on the case of firms specializing in the “Made in Italy” industries (fashion, furniture, home products) to outline a framework explaining the new competitive opportunities for SMEs. Through a qualitative analysis the chapter presents four case studies of Italian firms that promote successful strategies based on a coherent mix of R&D-based innovation, experienced marketing, and design by leveraging on ICT.

The innovative LMI platform enables young Italian artisans throughout Italy to feature an end-to-end global export business without intermediaries. Export wouldn't be viable to MEs by means of their small organizational structure, lack of digital culture and technologies. LMI copes with this issue, taking over MEs marketing, sales and logistics processes by earning a percentage on sales. An original complex approach to the analysis of the LMI value proposition issues is performed via methodologies integrating traditional methods with participated Design Thinking techniques.

Abstract:
In Italy in the nineteenth century the bourgeoisie decreed the end of the old model of urban development which had been limited by the rules of military architecture. In the years of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Bourbons established the Consigli Edilizi. Between 1859 and 1860 Francis II established 19 Consigli Edilizi; 13 were in municipalities of an administrative district. With the decree of foundation of the suburb of Bari, Gioacchino Murat donated the state land to the city and ordered that private persons and holy places were obliged to register for assessment or to sell to the municipality any land lying within the perimeter of the suburb unless they wanted to build on it. The new regime of public ownership of the land ratified by the Murattiano decree was confirmed by the “Statutes for the regular formation of the suburb of Bari” approved on 1st December 1814. The last step for assignment of land takes place before a notary. This is the signing of the assessment contract which involves the mayor, the building commission called Deputazione del borgo and the applicant. This chapters details these steps.

Abstract:
The paper presents the results of a research carried out in the clothing, footwear and leather goods sectors referring to the Italian territory. The survey was carried out through the collection of data on the field, with questionnaires administered to companies in the area: structured analysis on the company profile and brand identity; focus on sustainability with reference to the measures adopted by the company; technological assessment; collection of new needs expressed by each company. The result of the on-field research suggests, on the one hand, theoretical reflections relating to new sustainable approaches for the fashion sector, and on the other, technological innovation to implement value and profit for each company according to a sustainable and circular economic model. In Italy the local manufacturing systems have had their fulcrum in the industrial districts, which present themselves as centres of relations between multiple stakeholders. Generally, the openness and inclusion of stakeholders and systemic organization are essential for the sustainable development of the sector.The cultural tradition and the organization of Made in Italy production, in parallel with the Portuguese textile production systems, seem better prepared for a real ecological transition (Ricchetti & Frisa, 2011). This research proposes a model that accompanies companies on a transition path towards sustainable production.The methodology investigated, which starts from the enhancement of operational tools, contributes to promoting the adoption of new production processes and therefore to a more conscious consumption.The results achieved by SMEs in recent years, in the areas of ecological and digital transition, promise interesting developments, formulating a starting point to be used as an organizational and productive support to definitively move towards the suggested model. The discussion proposes a series of recommendations that can contribute to adopting a change in the entrepreneurial system of SMEs, vice versa, where there are contradictions and persisting barriers, it will be necessary to consider concrete and unanimously shared measures.

Abstract:
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a technology that has been proven to be very effective in the industrial sector, when both thermal and electrical energy are required, as it allows a more rational use of the input primary energy. However, CHP technology is not limited to industrial uses, as it can also be effectively exploited in the civil sector, such as in District Heating (DH) applications. Moreover, in recent years the opportunity to develop hybrid systems, in which traditional and renewable energy sources are integrated, is gaining more and more consideration. For these reasons, the most recent European Standards propose a set of newly conceived indices whose aim is easily assessing the energetic performances of DH networks, but the effectiveness of these indices in the study of DH networks coupled with CHP and renewable energy systems has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This paper presents a comparative study, based on these indices, of different electrical and thermal generation technologies, with the aim of assessing their effectiveness when hybrid systems are analyzed. A CHP-DH application, actually installed and in operation in Turin, Italy, has also been considered in the analysis, in order to have a comparison with a real case. The results of the study are presented and discussed in detail in the following sections.

Abstract:
Gas turbine performances are directly related to outside conditions. The use of gas turbines in combined gas-steam power plants, also applied to cogeneration, increases performance dependence by outside conditions, because plants boundary conditions become more complex. In recent years, inlet air cooling systems have been introduced to control air temperature and humidity at compressor inlet resulting in an increase in plant power and efficiency. In this paper, the dependence of outside conditions for an existing cogenerative plant, located in Tuscany (Italy), is studied. The plant is equipped with two GE-LM6000 aeroderivative gas-turbines coupled with a three pressure level heat recovery steam generator, cogenerative application being related to the industrial district. The ambient temperature has been found to be the most important factor affecting the plant performance, but relative air humidity variation also has considerable effects. The field performance data are compared with a numerical simulation. The simulation results show a good agreement with the field performance data. The simulation allows evaluation of design and off-design plant performance and can become a useful tool to study the outside condition influence on power plant performance.

Historic-geographical and Typo-morphological assessment of Lefke town, North Cyprus Sanaz Nezhadmasoum¹, Nevter Zafer Comert² Department of Architecture. Eastern Mediterranean University. Famagusta. North Cyprus.Via Mersin 10. Turkey E-mail: sanaz.nezhadmasoum@gmail.com, nzafer@gmail.com Keywords: Historic-geographic approach, Typo-morphology, Urban form, Lefke town Conference topics and scale: Urban morphological methods and techniques Morphological analysis in cities have been employed to conduct the research on the urban form and fabric of the place, that helps to determine the conservation plans or strategies of towns that reveal clues to their own history (Whithand,2001). Such analysis methods are a process that reviews the evolution and evaluation of towns throughout history. This paper focuses on, Conzen’s and Caniggia’s ideas, MRG Conzen’s historic-geographical approaches (1968) on planning level and Caniggia’s typo-morphological process (2001) on architectural level. Those methodologies help to understand the transformation procedure of different regions of city throughout the years and recovering how the city elements and urban hierarchy are interrelated. Additionally, the focus of this paper is to study the town’s morphological transformations, regarding its spatial, geographical and historical combinations. Within this context, Geographical and historical surveys done on the whole town of Lefke, in north-west Cyprus, and a detailed explanation on the typo-morphological analyses of some particular regions will be given in this article. One of the significant character that makes the town unique is its historical background which lay down with an organic urban pattern from Ottoman period. Lefke town was first formed with a medieval character, and through centuries of functional and physical transformations, has been highly influenced by British extensions, which were either prearranged modifications affected by socio- natural, economic, and political situations, or instinctive and spontaneous changes. All these historical factors, along with its geographical features, make Lefke an interesting case to be studied with an urban typo-morphological approach.
