This book explores the governance mechanisms and their implications for interorganizational relationships (IORs) in the context of disruptive technological change, with a focus on the automotive industry's transition to electric vehicles (EVs). It delves into the different forms of governance, including contractual and relational mechanisms, and the levels of codification within IORs. It addresses the gap in understanding the impact of disruptive innovation on IORs and highlights the need for strategies to effectively adapt and adjust relationships in the face of transformative changes. The research examines the interplay between disruptive forces and governance, providing insights into how firms can navigate and thrive amidst disruptions. By analysing the dynamics of governance mechanisms and their value in IORs, this book offers practical insights for organizations engaged in interorganizational relationships. It is targeted at researchers and scholars in the fields of strategic management, organizational theory, and innovation, as well as professionals involved in managing interorganizational relationships and navigating disruptive environments.

La legislazione dell'Unione europea e l'accelerazione dell'industria verso la sostituzione di motori endotermici con drivetrain che permettano di ottenere l'azzeramento delle emissioni di CO2 allo scarico sta producendo un cambio radicale sia dell'architettura di prodotto sia della catena del valore dell'industria dell'auto. In questo scenario anche l'ecosistema produttivo italiano è chiamato ad un radicale cambiamento. CAMI e Motus-E hanno costituito l'Osservatorio sulle trasformazioni dell'ecosistema automotive italiano allo scopo di fornire dati ed evidenze scientifiche sulla trasformazione in atto e come essa impatterà su imprese e mondo del lavoro. Questo volume riporta i primi risultati dell'Osservatorio e fornisce approfondimenti sulle minacce e le opportunità che il cambiamento sta portando.

In line with the multi-disciplinary nature of network research, this edited volume collects both empirical and conceptual contributions that nurture the debate on network research, specifically dealing with the topics of network performance and agency.

This book explores the basic traits of inter-organizational networks, examining the interplay between structure, dynamics, and performance from a governance perspective. The book assumes a novel theoretical angle based on the interpretation of networks as multiple systems, and advances the theory in the realm of network effectiveness and failure. Composed of two parts, theoretical and empirical, The Network Organization clarifies the literature on networks, offering a systematic review, and provides a new perspective on their integration with other streams of research focusing on under-studied issues such as agency, micro-dynamics, and network effectiveness. The second part proposes the analysis of the tourism destination of Venice, with a specific focus on the network between the Venice Film Festival, the hospitality system, and the local institutions. By exploring the pervasion of networks in modern social and economic life, this book will be valuable to students, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers.

Versalles, centro de poder y también del placer, del deseo y del libertinaje. Un acercamiento original y seductor a la historia erótica del palacio desde el reinado de Luis XIV hasta el declive y, finalmente, el abandono de este escenario con el Rey Sol. A mediados del siglo XVII, Luis XIV muestra interés por Versalles, donde su padre tenía un modesto pabellón de caza; allí dará rienda suelta a sus primeros amores con la tímida Louise de La Vallière para después convertirlo, muy a pesar del ministro Colbert, en el sitio donde vivirá el desenfreno amoroso de su juventud: de la voluptuosa madame de Montespan a la ardiente madame de Maintenon, amantes o aventuras de una noche se sucederán en un irrefrenable torbellino, ya sea en las magníficas alcobas y salones del palacio o en sus espectaculares jardines. El Versalles de Luis XV también rezuma belleza y majestad. Los Pequeños Apartamentos, con acogedoras alcobas y cortinas muy oportunas, serán el telón de fondo de múltiples escenas eróticas y amorosas. Madame de Pompadour se ocupará de seleccionar a las señoritas del Parque de los Ciervos para satisfacer al insaciable Luis XV. Más tarde, el blando Luis XVI sufre para poder honrar a María Antonieta y, en vísperas de la Revolución, se aproxima el final de la «pequeña Sodoma» de libertinas costumbres. En octubre de 1789 las puertas del Palacio de Versalles saltarán hechas pedazos y la familia real se verá obligada a abandonarlo.

Pe vremea lui Ludovic al XIII-lea, Versailles era doar un modest pavilion de vânătoare. Ludovic al XIV-lea îl transformă într-un centru al puterii, dar și într-un loc al plăcerii, dorinței și desfrâului. Grădinile noului castel, parcurile cu fântâni, apartamentele legate între ele, totul părea menit să adăpostească aventurile Regelui Soare cu nenumăratele-i amante. Ludovic al XV-lea trăiește în aceeași frenezie a destrăbălării, iar doamna de Pompadour, marea sa favorită, are grijă să-i aducă în pat mereu alte și alte tinere. Suspectat mult timp de impotență, Ludovic al XVI-lea este doar o umbră a înaintașilor lui. În ajunul Revoluției de la 1789, după mai bine de un secol de strălucire, „mica Sodomă“ de la Versailles își aruncă ultimele văpăi...
