“…To avoid bias in the ex-post rationalization of the implemented changes (Ahrens and Chapman, 2006), data from semi-structured interviews were triangulated with open-answer questions and archival analyses (Qu and Dumay, 2011) based on financial statements, data available on the Ericina website, and existing media articles and videos. This triangulation aimed to increase the results' credibility (Manes-Rossi and Bisogno, 2020).…”

“…The transition pattern following the confiscation represents a favorable occasion for removing previous routines. However, such a process questions consolidated behavior and beliefs (Manes-Rossi and Bisogno, 2020), and the mafia-type organization to which the firm belonged may impede the process and resist changes (for instance, mafiosi can oblige the confiscated firm's customers and suppliers to cease doing business with it). OIE can then permit the investigation into the development of a new structure (Loorbach and van Raak, 2006), based on different rules and routines, enable the understanding of the relationship between the way in which “things should be done” (e.g.…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate transition patterns originating from the confiscation of mafia-type firms, examining public administrations and nonprofit organizations' roles.Design/methodology/approachThis study investigates the case of “Calcestruzzi Ericina Libera,” a firm located in Sicily and confiscated from the Mafia in 1996. The analysis covers an extended period (approximately 25 years).FindingsThe empirical analysis documents the pivotal role of informal networks, comprising public administrations and nonprofit organizations. Confiscation processes are successful if transition management strategies are governed through a network and a collaborative approach is followed after the confiscation to support the firm.Originality/valueMafia-type firms have been examined academically from different perspectives, but few studies have focused on the steps taken after their confiscation.

“…They also noted that regulatory interventions in the cultural sector have not solved, so far, the recruitment problems in the sector, although there has been some progress with the most recent legislation. For example, positive results were found for the Paestum Archaeological Park (an autonomous Italian museum), where management autonomy has contributed positively to new human resource recruitment and overall institutional performance (Manes-Rossi & Bisogno, 2020).…”

We study the economic effects of a reform of the national museum sector, the so-called Franceschini Reform, implemented in 2015. The reform introduced a new organization of the national museum system. One of the most innovative instruments of the policy was the establishment of a different method - an international call for applications - in the selection of directors of major museums (museums of “national interest”). The article studies the effects of this new recruitment policy on museum economic performance, focusing on revenues. Using a difference-in-difference technique for the years 2014 to 2017, we show that the new recruitment policy improved the revenues of treated museums throughout Italy by a range between 17% and 26%. We also find that the characteristics of the directors (age, field of degree, and study abroad experience) play a role in explaining the increase in revenue of these Institutions. We thus find evidence of significant benefits of the policy. The new knowledge may be useful for improving museum and cultural sector management policies.
