Human and Social Capital Strategies for Mafia Network Disruption

Social Network Analysis (SNA) is an interdisciplinary science that focuses on discovering the patterns of individuals interactions. In particular, practitioners have used SNA to describe and analyze criminal networks to highlight subgroups, key actors, strengths and weaknesses in order to generate disruption interventions and crime prevention systems. In this paper, the effectiveness of a total of seven disruption strategies for two real Mafia networks is investigated adopting SNA tools. Three interventions targeting actors with a high level of social capital and three interventions targeting those with a high human capital are put to the test and compared between each other and with random node removal. Similar tests on artificial model networks have also been carried out. Simulations show that actor removal based on social capital proves to be the most effective strategy, by leading to the total disruption of the criminal network in the least number of steps. The removal of a specific figure of a Mafia family such as the Caporegime seems also promising in the network disruption.

FMEA Method Using Spherical Fuzzy Sets for Risk Analysis of the Tech Startup

Introduction: Tech startups are fast-growing businesses that target the demands of the marketplace by developing innovative products, services, or platforms. Startups ensure socially, economically, or environmentally more effective alternatives by using or by creating appropriate technologies. Many factors have become prominent regarding the success and sustainability of the product or service offered by the startup: investment, experience, and education of the team, the leadership of the management, creativity, innovation, technological breakthroughs, surrounding community, future perspective, target marketing strategy, location and the analysis of the market, etc. But since 80% of startups do not survive after five years, defining the important risk factors is crucial to develop the right strategies for successful startups. In this study, the risk factors have been defined based on the business model, which has an important place in the success of the technology startups, which use technology intensively. Comprehensive risk analysis on identified factors is presented to identify effective managerial strategies for technology startups to not fail. Methods: Spherical Fuzzy Failure Mode and Impact Analysis (SFFMEA) was used within the framework of a business model canvas for risk analysis for the failure of technology startup projects. Due to the lack of recorded data for analysis, the opinions of field experts were used. While the business model canvas guided the identification of detailed risk factors, FMEA enabled the risk analysis of factors that cause startup projects to fail, and considering parameters related to the probability of the relevant risk factors, their impact on the failure of the project, and the detection level of the risk factor. Spherical Fuzzy, on the other hand, allowed the quantitative inference of FMEA's comprehensive parameter definitions associated with the risk factors through experts. Thus, all risk factors that may cause the failure of tech startups were ranked according to their risk priority numbers (RPNs), with the SFFMEA analysis, which offers a comprehensive risk analysis. Results: The findings show that the most important causes of the tech startup’s failure are “noncompliance with existing restrictions”, “inappropriate venture capital strategy”, and “lack of clustering support”. Conclusion: These failure modes can be interpreted according to their frequency of encounter, potential effects, and detectability, and can be considered an important finding in the development of appropriate managerial strategies for the mitigation of the risk factors so the startups can survive in their first five years. Also, with the proposed risk analysis methodology, a comprehensive analysis of any startup project can be performed according to its conditions and characteristics.

Data were obtained from the financial statements of scheduled banks listed on the Pakistan stock exchange from 2005 to 2020. The findings of the research study revealed that corporate governance mechanisms that promote the bank's shareholders' interests are linked to low capitalization strategies. The size of the board of directors has a significant impact on the capitalization of banks. Banks' capitalization techniques are also adversely correlated with effective board size. The shareholder benefits from low capitalization. Corporate governance is positively related with banking sector instability, as seen by this negative correlation. Bank capitalization strategies have a significant impact on CEO remuneration. In the event of an income shock, dividend payout is essential. Banking sector payout policies are negatively related with corporate governance. In the event of a negative income shock, financial institutions reduce dividends. As a result, it has been argued that effective corporate governance benefits shareholders by reducing capitalization tactics and limiting financial institutions' aggressive payouts.JEL classificationG21, G30, G32, G35.

Organizational Culture as Barriers to Employee Mobility: Evidence from Employer Reviews &amp; Job Posts

What firm level strategies can firms adopt for reducing employee mobility? While firms make large investments in their corporate cultures, their effects on the labor force are not yet completely understood. We argue that strong cultures act as a retention mechanism by facilitating shared understanding of the task environment, enhancing employees’ sense of homophily and ability to coordinate and reducing the portability of their task related firm specific skills. We test these predictions on a subsample analysis of 6,208 firms based in Illinois and Michigan. We measure labor-related variables from 1,265,760 job vacancies posted by those firms, and their cultural strength from 203,093 employees’ text reviews about the companies. We find that, following a regulatory shock that increases employee mobility in Illinois, strong cultures post fewer jobs and offer lower salaries than weak ones, compared to Michigan. We propose heterogeneity in cultural distributional properties as a novel retention mechanism to explain cross-firm variation in human capital strategies.

Research on the Impact of Venture Capital Strategy on Enterprise Innovation Performance: Based on Evidence of Investment Timing and Rounds

Innovation is the first development force; thus, it is necessary to study the factors to enhance innovation ability. What type of venture capital strategy is more conducive to promoting enterprise innovation? We use the companies listed on the Growth Enterprise Market from 2009 to 2017 as samples and employ the Poisson regression method to empirically test the impact of venture capital investment timing and rounds of venture capital on entrepreneurial innovation performance. The results indicate that 1) venture capital can significantly improve firms’ innovation performance; however, compared with the early stage investment, the late-stage investment can significantly improve the firm’s innovation performance. With the increase in investment rounds, the innovation performance of enterprises is significantly improved. 2) Investment timing has a significant negative moderating effect on the relationship between investment rounds and firm innovation, that is, late-stage investment will significantly weaken the positive impact of investment rounds on firm innovation.
