Business Model Adaptation and the Success of New Ventures
In this study, we explore the connections between business model adaptation and the
success of new ventures. We do so by analysing in depth the business model evolution
of three new Italian ventures throughout their first years of life. We try to understand
if and how the evolution of these firmsâ business models is connected to their success.
Our analysis reveals that adapting their business models was crucial to enabling
these firms to survive in extremely dynamic environments. However, it did not fully
act as a catalyst for their processes of growth and did not increase their profitability.W tym badaniu poszukujemy powiÄ

Innovation and business performance determinants of SMEs in the Adriatic region that introduced social innovation
The objective of this study is to investigate innovation and business
performance determinants of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
located in the Adriatic region that introduced social innovation and
to compare these SMEs with SMEs that did not introduce social
innovation or did not innovate at all. This research is a part of wider
research on innovation in the Adriatic Region conducted as part
of the EU-funded project PACINNO. The results show that social
innovators perceive their business performance to be higher than
their competitors and are exporting significantly more than other
firms. This study contributes to the under-researched area of social
innovation in the Adriatic Region with quantitative empirical results.
In addition, the results can serve as guidelines for policy makers and
other stakeholders, particularly in the field of social innovation
Le dimensioni dell\u2019innovazione in un cluster del vino italiano
L\u2019innovazione \ue8 senza dubbio uno dei temi pi\uf9 studiati nella letteratura econo- mico-manageriale. Nonostante la notevole quantit\ue0 di ricerche, il problema del rapporto tra innovazione e performance aziendale rimane una questione anco- ra aperta, come evidenziato in diversi contributi (Garcia e Calantone, 2002; Ro- senbusch et al., 2011)..
Travellersâ choice of information sources and information channels for domestic trips
The topics of disintermediation and re-intermediation, both offline and online, have captured the attention of researchers and practitioners alike. Relying on an information search perspective, this study aims to identify which factors (i.e. different socio-demographic characteristics and travel-related variables) best predict whether a traveller will seek information from a travel agency or from a service provider (i.e. information source choice) and if this will be done face to face or through the Internet (i.e. choice of communication channel). Contribution to the body of knowledge and managerial implications are discussed and suggestions for future research are given
I segreti del successo delle campagne di crowdfunding delle imprese sociali italiane
Il crowdfunding è uno strumento di finanziamento innovativo in grado di cambiare le regole della finanza per lâimpresa. Questo vale non solo per lâimprenditoria tradizionale, ma anche per lâimpresa sociale che con il crowdfunding può finanziare e legittimare i propri progetti di innovazione sociale. In questâottica, questo saggio si propone di individuare e analizzare i fattori che spiegano il successo delle campagne di crowdfunding delle imprese sociali allâinterno del contesto italiano, caratterizzato da un elevato dinamismo e da una sostanziale frammentazione. Questo contributo vuole inoltre fornire un supporto operativo agli innovatori sociali nel progettare e gestire efficacemente le loro campagne.
Eâ stata condotta unâanalisi empirica su 253 campagne di crowdfunding lanciate da imprese sociali su piattaforme italiane. Il focus dellâanalisi è stato rivolto a tre tipologie di driver: la rete dellâimpresa sociale analizzata, le caratteristiche della piattaforma di crowdfunding selezionata e il design della campagna. I risultati dimostrano come la presenza dellâimpresa sociale sui social network (in particolare Twitter), la scelta di una specifica piattaforma di tipo reward-based e la gestione attiva della campagna abbiano un impatto rilevante sullâeffettivo raggiungimento dellâobiettivo di finanziamento
