Who wants to live forever: exploring 30 years of research on business longevity

Angelo Riviezzo; Mika Skippari; Antonella Garofano

This article presents a systematic review of the existing literature on business longevity by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 142 papers published in the leading business history and management journals during the last three decades. The results show similarities (e.g. in explanatory models) and differences (e.g. in citation patterns, theories, and methods) between the disciplines, thus indicating that the literature is partially segmented into separate domains that prevent business longevity research from representing a truly unified field of study.

“C’era una volta…”. Racconti d’imprese storiche della manifattura campana

Angelo Riviezzo; Antonella Garofano; Vittoria Marino; Maria Rosaria Napolitano

Purpose of the paper : The main aim of this paper is to analyze the content of the stories of some long-lived companies in order to identify recurring elements and examine the rhetoric used in the narrative. Methodology : The empirical research is based on the statistical-lexical analysis of twelve stories of manufacturing firms belonging to an association of historical family firms called “I Centenari”. The text of the stories, told by the voice of the entrepreneurs, was analyzed by using a software. Findings : Our analysis shows a significant similarity between the stories. All the stories are built on three key narrative themes: the story of the family; the story of the business in which it is involved; the elements capable of shaping the identity of the family. Research limits : The main limitation of the study relates to the number and characteristics of the firms involved. They are all manufacturing firms and all from the same region. Furthermore, the study focused only on the content of the stories, ignoring other perspectives, such as that related to the marketing potential of the stories themselves or the involvement of other stakeholders. Practical implications : From the experience narrated by long-lived family firms it is possible to draw valuable insights for the enhancement of longevity in a marketing-oriented perspective. Originality of the paper : The literature that uses the story as a tool for researching on organizational dynamics has never focused on the analysis of the precise elements shared by the stories of long-lived firms. The present study is the first with such an objective. Italian Obiettivo del pape r: L’obiettivo del presente lavoro e analizzare il contenuto delle storie di alcune imprese longeve al fine di identificare gli elementi ricorrenti ed esaminare la retorica utilizzata nel ripercorrere le vicende centenarie che le caratterizzano. Metodologia : La ricerca empirica si basa sull’analisi statistico-lessicale di dodici storie d’imprese manifatturiere appartenenti all’Associazione Aziende Storiche Familiari Campane “I Centenari”. Le storie, raccontate dalla viva voce dei protagonisti attuali delle imprese, sono state trascritte e il testo analizzato con l’ausilio di un software. Risultati : L’analisi condotta evidenzia una significativa similarita tra le storie. Tutti i racconti sono costruiti su tre essenziali temi narrativi: le vicende della famiglia; le vicende del business in cui essa e coinvolta; gli elementi in grado di plasmare l’identita della famiglia imprenditoriale. Limiti della ricerca : Il limite principale dello studio attiene alla numerosita e alle caratteristiche delle imprese coinvolte. Si tratta esclusivamente d’imprese manifatturiere e tutte campane. Inoltre, viene privilegiata l’analisi dei contenuti dei racconti, trascurando altre prospettive, come quella legata alle potenzialita di marketing dei racconti stessi o al coinvolgimento di altri stakeholder. Implicazioni pratiche : Dal vissuto narrato dalle imprese familiari longeve e possibile trarre spunti preziosi per la valorizzazione della longevita in ottica marketing-oriented. Originalita del lavoro : La letteratura che utilizza il racconto come strumento di ricerca sulle dinamiche aziendali non si e mai soffermata sull’analisi puntuale degli elementi che accomunano le storie di imprese longeve. Il presente studio costituisce il primo con siffatto obiettivo.

“Il tempo è lo specchio dell’eternità”. Strategie e strumenti di heritage marketing nelle imprese longeve italiane / “Il tempo è lo specchio dell’eternità” (Time is the mirror of eternity). Heritage marketing strategies and tools In Italian long-lived firms

Angelo Riviezzo; Antonella Garofano; Maria Rosaria Napolitano

Il lavoro mira a indagare l’effettivo grado di utilizzo da parte delle imprese longeve italiane dei molteplici strumenti potenzialmente a disposizione per valorizzare in chiave strategica il proprio vissuto storico. A tal fi ne, si propone una sistematizzazione della letteratura sul tema atta a identificare in maniera puntuale i vari strumenti di heritage marketing e, successivamente, se ne indaga l’effettiva diffusione. In particolare, sono state raccolte e analizzate informazioni accurate sulle attivita realizzate da 238 imprese di medie e grandi dimensioni iscritte nel Registro nazionale delle imprese storiche italiane di Unioncamere. L’indagine ha rivelato che le imprese longeve approcciano i singoli strumenti di heritage marketing in modo sperimentale e in mancanza di una visione integrata. Sono una minoranza quelle che mostrano di percepire i vantaggi di una convinta e pluriforme azione di valorizzazione del proprio vissuto storico. Il lavoro costituisce il primo esempio d’indagine su larga scala volta a investigare l’utilizzo dei diversi strumenti di heritage marketing e, rispetto a precedenti studi, si distingue per la numerosita delle imprese analizzate e per la completezza e l’eterogeneita degli strumenti considerati. The main aim of this study is to understand if and how Italian long-lived firms are oriented towards a strategic exploitation of their cultural and historical heritage. To this aim, first we reviewed the extant literature on the topic in order to identify the different tools potentially available to implement a heritage marketing strategy and, then, we investigated their actual level of use. A desk research covered 238 medium and large firms entered in the National Register of Italian Historical Firms edited by Unioncamere. For each firm we collected timely information about the different activities of heritage marketing carried out. Our study reveals that long-lived firms approach the single tools of heritage marketing experimentally and without an integrated vision. There is just a minority of firms showing to perceive the advantages of a convinced and multiform action of exploitation of their cultural and historical heritage. This paper is the first example of large-scale investigation aimed at observing the use of different tools of heritage marketing. Compared to previous studies, it is distinguished by the number of firms surveyed and the heterogeneity of tools considered.
