Riassunto
This thesis project is the result of the research work coordinated by professor Antonella Martini and engineer Maria Carmela Annosi, held for 6 months at Wageningen University and Research (the Netherlands), and financed by the Erasmus+ project, in collaboration with an Indonesian company leader in its country for metallurgical production and for the assembly of metal components. The company shows a family-level management, extended from the first generation to date, and a story behind lasting since more than 50 years. The project stems from the idea of Eng. Maria Carmela Annosi who wants to analyze how family management has impacted and still impacts the decision to introduce new technologies and transfer the necessary knowledge to employees. After a first phase of literary review about the topics and once identified the resulting Research Questions, starting from a single integrative theoretical model, the collection of data was deployed on a broad spectrum via semi-structured interviews on a consistent sample of employees, with the aim of understanding the emerging dynamics about the past and the present of the company, in relation to the introduction of new technologies. The data collected were subsequently analyzed and coded with the help of the MaxQDA software in order to compare emerging concepts from the interviews and the results published so far in the literature. All this allowed us to elaborate new hypotheses and to explode the variables inside the single integrative theoretical model into new theoretical models. The thesis project ends with an appeal to researchers, hoping that future studies can take inspiration from this model and benefit from it.
