Item type:Publication, Netzwerkökonomie und Kultur. Sozio-kulturelle Bedingungen innovativer Netzwerke. Eine empirische Untersuchung im "Dritten Italien"Within the debate about the characteristics and the consequences of the globalised economy, neoregionalism opposes the argument that regional and local factors are losing their importance. In fact, the path of economic development in a number of regions from all over the world has demonstrated that the way enterprises are embedded in their region can definitely be turned into an advantage of competition.As different approaches like the milieu innovateur, the industrial district, the flexible specialisation and the social capital show as regards the regions of the "Third Italy", two factors are determinant for the economic performance of these regions: on the one hand the networking of the economic players with each other and with other regional agents, on the other hand the regional socio-cultural conditions which shape a networking mentality represented by particular business practices, routines and customs. In this thesis first the structure and governance of the chosen networks of enterprises are analysed in an empirical research. Secondly the patterns of interaction, action, thinking, and interpretation of Veneto entrepreneurs are compared with those of an ideal type of network participants demonstrating the numerous silimarities and some particularities. Finally, the characteristics of the culture that favours the network economy are deduced from the case study. The conclusions indicate that the "network culture" is characterised by a set of dimensions of culture developed within the intercultural management, such as an optimistic view of human nature, a polychronic time concept, an indirect communication style, a low power distance, collectivism, particularism, diffusion, neutrality, an achieved social status, and strong work ethics.doctoral thesis396 570 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Verteilungskonflikte im Straßenraum - Gerechtigkeits- und Fairnessvorstellungen konkurrierender InteressengruppenConflicts in distributing public space in residential areas. Ideas of justice and fairness held by competing pressure interest groups.Often the design and arrangement of public spaces within residential areas is decided upon top-down usually by politicians. The involved city and traffic planners often fail to anticipate social, ecological and economical consequences. In order to be accepted city and traffic planning needs the participation of citizens. Top-down decision making in these areas of public interest often violates ideas of justice and fairness held by citizens. Therefore results of public space distribution in residential areas e.g. concerning car and bicycle drivers are either hesitantly or not at all implemented. The empirical part of this doctoral thesis focuses on an analysis of ideas of justice and fairness held by different user groups (e.g. pedestrians, car and bicycle drivers) and different groups of actors (e.g. citizens, enterprises, city and traffic planners of government and non-government organizations). A new investigation method was developed. A physical model (with miniature houses made of wood, playmobil figures, wooden cars, pedestrians, front yards, road signs etc.) showing a street within a residential area was used for group discussions among citizens about ideas of justice and fairness concerning distribution conflicts. Starting point of the investigation was the concept of sustainable development. The theoretical part of this doctoral thesis is interdisciplinary. It contains results of environmental research from the social sciences which are associated with theories of justice and fairness. Furthermore psychological, political-philosophical and sociological concepts of justice and fairness are presented.doctoral thesis359 505
