The purpose of this study has been to investigate the relationship between the leadershipstyle of the owner-manager and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system adoptionin the family Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).Previous research has shown that ERP systems adoption is affected by different factorssuch as resource scarcity, the lack of IS strategic planning, company size and business complexity.Others research, instead, has also shown that the individual characteristics of theowner-manager could influence the adoption of these systems. However, in literature thereis a lack of study on role of leadership style in determining ERP system adoption. Therefore,this study investigates how autocratic and democratic leadership style of owner-managerinfluence the choice of adopting ERP adoption in the family SMEs.This research has been carried out through a quantitative methodological approachbased on a direct analysis (survey field study). Particularly, a structured questionnaire hasbeen administered to a sample of 200 family SMEs in the Campania Region (Italy), whilethe data have been analyzed using the logistic regression model for binary data.

Musint 2 is a text to be read, accompanying the new MUSINT II website, following and innovating the general features of the previous MUSINT. But, as the two on-line projects differ in both technical aspects and content while maintaining similar principles and purposes, so the new volume takes on a role that makes it a novelty more suited to the progress that characterises the archaeological disciplines under a scientific and didactic perspective. The division into three sections is still maintained. The first section contains a series of works directly related to the MUSINT II site. There is an increase in the number of presentations relating to technical and educational aspects, which are considered an innovation of the new site, compared with scientific contributions intended in a more traditional sense. The second section presents an array of significant works of virtual musealisation, specifically chosen from the most varied areas, and tries to underline their educational approach. The third section is developed in continuity with the previous edition, although it presents new features in the choice of the selected research works: in fact, it selects topics which were already proposed in their experimental phase, as well as new research that have been identified over the years through the wider knowledge on the possibilities of a digital and interactive museology.

Historians have long recognized the important role that kinship ties and family relations played in Venetian politics, especially their salutary effect in forging a cohesive ruling class. The essay considers the practice – increasingly utilized in the middle decades of the fifteenth century – of disqualifying kinsmen from exercising some of their judicial rights out of concern that they would use those rights to seek vengeance against those who they believed had done them wrong. The danger of disqualification became clear when the Council of Ten made use of it in the scandals surrounding doge Francesco Foscari and his son Jacopo. In the end, the Ten pulled back and decided to limit the power to disqualify noblemen from their full prerogatives. This essay thus examines a moment when kinship ties became a liability in Venetian politics as well as the role governmental practices played in fostering rather than suppressing factionalism.
