Creativity and Collaboration (Part II)

In previous episode of this post we were left discussing the relationship between social networks and creativity. As I told you with my colleague Gino Cattani New York University have tested these ideas in the context of Hollywood cinema (for a detailed discussion here the scientific article). In summary, after more than three years of data collection, we analyzed the structure of collaborations with about 30 thousand professionals from Hollywood (including directors, actors, editors, writers, producers, cinematographers, set designers and composers), between 1992 and involved 2004 in the implementation of 2300 film.

order to objectify the creative performance of each individual We then took into account a wide range of prestigious prizes awarded annually by the American film (like the Oscar, Golden Globe, the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards, New York Film Critics, etc. ..). We then compared the resulting indicator with the network of partnerships developed by each artist during his career. In doing so we discovered a very interesting trend. The most creative individuals do not operate in the edges of this network, but are not even central. Typically, however, to intermediate positions between the periphery and the center of the social system that matches the creative success. What does this result? That has practical implications for those deals, for example, innovation management or management of creativity? If you are curious let me refer you to the podcast of this interview , I recently released a national broadcaster discussing broad spectrum of creativity and collaboration. The file is a little heavy but the sound quality is OK. Enjoy!

Once again Italy and the Italians go on the front pages of newspapers around the world. Not for the successes achieved by our country, but for things to be ashamed of. There is a premier of a nation which is the seventh industrial power in the world does not care about the scandals that produces with his behavior and is not interested in world public opinion. E ' accused of serious facts, unworthy of the prime minister of a nation that is renowned worldwide for its high contribution to civilization. If he is innocent, as they hope all those who care about the image of our country, can prove it in court, whether he is guilty it must show the judges. What the premier should not do is to avoid the proceedings with the ploy to move the process in Monza: so, thanks to a formal defect, it will not be judged as has already happened in dozens of other processes that relate to tax evasion, false accounting, corruption, fraud. We hope that the premier is so manfully wise to save the Italian people and the world yet another solution "Italian" to be "mischievous to the government." Nothing escapes in style on September 8, please!

"The people elected me!"

Our premier constantly reminds Italians that voted for him.

Even Hitler was elected by the Germans. On March 5, 1933 in Germany was the Democratic Republic: The Nazi Party won the election with 17,277,180 votes, 43.9%. The SPD, the Social Democrats, had 18.3%. The communists to 12.3. The Centre Party, a grouping of the SVP type Casini, 11, 2. Then there were many other parties, such as the Bavarian People's Party or that they took from 2 to 8% and many others. Tanti gruppi divisi e dall’altra parte un partito che seppe sfruttare l’insoddisfazione popolare causata dalla crisi economica con molti argomenti come “lo straniero, cioè l’ebreo, ci ruba il lavoro”.

Alcuni diranno: vuoi paragonare l’Italia di oggi alla Germania del 1933? C’è un dato inequivocabile in comune: l’opposizione frammentata e divisa.

Bisogna dire che nel 1933 le violenze criminali da parte dei nazisti furono relativamente esigue, il voto fu in effetti il prodotto degli umori popolari abilmente sfruttati da Hitler. Il vero terrore nazista venne dopo la conquista del potere. Certo, anche nel 1933 la propaganda e l’attivismo di piazza dei nazisti aveva its effect, but the radio was in its infancy, there were very few devices that use solid regime wanted to make was still to come. The sound in cinema was in its infancy and the halls for the screening were not numerous.

Consider now the world today and the media power, financial and enterprise of our prime minister: it is one of the richest people in the world, owns dozens of national television and regional daily into the homes of the Italians, has the the biggest publishing houses, numerous newspapers, banks, insurance companies, supermarkets and businesses of all kinds. In addition, as Prime Minister can put his men to the direction of the national news, to influence or promote the careers of journalists and the world of culture and information. Despite this, or perhaps because of this too, is loved by many Italians who see flaws in his mirrors, and in his own ability to stay afloat ever see mirrored a typical national virtue.

had deceived many fellow citizens with the "Contract with the Italians," signed in 1994 during the TV show "Porta a Porta", found his personal biographer Bruno Vespa had promised to "create" a truly liberal and prosperous country, without bureaucracy , with lower taxes, with one million jobs in more now. At that time business was good and there was no economic crisis. It 'was the government 15 years and Italy is poorer than before, without a business plan, with more bureaucracy and more taxes than before, with the income tax in our country 90% is paid by employees only, and retirees, with more serious social inequalities as before. Even his loyal ally for 14 years, Gianfranco Fini, has noticed that his premiership is bad for Italian democracy.

The Church however has not noticed anything. The Holy Father, so careful and sensitive to every social and cultural phenomenon, every week we talk about family and marriage and opposes sex education in schools. The Prime Minister had already two marriages, both failed, the second after that had been interested in Naomi Letizia until the angry the second wife Veronica Lario. Many have seen and heard the horrible joke with appalling blasphemy end he pronounced:

He told the police headquarters in Milan and is the granddaughter of Ruby Egyptian President Mubarak (who knows what do you think the Egyptian leader) and now is accused of having intercourse with her and other young underage prostitutes. With the same accusations, true or untrue, and with the same air of scandal all the newspapers of the world premier of a European level would have immediately resigned to safeguard itself and especially the tarnished image of an Italy. The televisions are a model of its own negative educational impact of spectacle and anti-Christian, I do not know if you have never seen the programs of the De Filippi, for example, or varieties on Saturday evening. The premier has repeatedly said "I do not change my lifestyle," implying that a seratina happy with the "good girls" Sometimes it takes. The prime minister is known as a precarious that the young man who asked his advice for future studies responded "marry a rich man, one of my children." Of all this the Church never speaks, the Vatican authorities seem satisfied with the funding to public schools and removed the data scuole private cattoliche.

Cercasi leader e programma per nazione europeo-mediterranea, settima economia del mondo, ottima posizione sul mare, cibo eccellente, vini pregiati, auto sportive.

L’opposizione in Italia è divisa in 12 partitini, ognuno con un leader felice di coltivare il suo orticello. Di recente a rendere la cosa più drammatica si è messo di mezzo pure un comico: Beppe Grillo. Forse tutti, non solo il premier, dovrebbero riflettere sui risultati delle elezioni del 1933 in Germania.

La Sinistra italiana dovrebbe affermare una volta per tutte la sua identità socialdemocratica e chiudere i ponti con i nostalgici dell'ideologia marxista. Qualcuno ci ha provato nel corso degli anni, but with uncertain political actions of thinness. Never a serious historical analysis or a global redefinition of identity. The Left needs a clear plan, a credible leader and a lot of units.

The Right, however, should make clear that fascism was an "experiment" catastrophic and the only one you want is an Italy Italy liberal and democratic.

Fini, even with the stain of the alliance with the fifteen most illiberal and incumbent prime minister after the war, he understood, even if delayed, while many others have not yet understood.

There is a third type of Italian that in any war, if you slipped away: 8th September '43 and now. They are the ones who supported the DC for 50 years just because we did business, would support the Communists if they had time to make us business, they support the current prime minister for the same reason. They are the true weight of the country. They belong to all possible parties, but abound in the current majority.

We need to go beyond the old ideological fences. Parri De Gasperi and Togliatti Pertini, in 1946, with dialogue and love for their country rebuilt the nation mortally wounded by fascism. We need the same ambition and all the useful dialogue to rebuild the country and do so to escape the civil and moral decline.

My feeling is that the Right or Left, North or South, there is a gulf between the Italians and their historical and political representation. The Italians really feel represented by the North Trout, pluribocciato maturity, 8,000 euro per month, elected councilor in blocked list because of Bossi's son?

Since I do not think it is the responsibility of the Lord to help Italy, and I do not think the Church in this particular area is very enlightened by the Holy Spirit, we think we Italians as has already happened before.

rewrite history and to overcome the climate of civil war that has divided the nation for 65 years is a major task, but our intellectuals think pleasant to publish literary masterpieces (Eco) are closed in the house instead of producing films (Moretti), play politics for their own petty partisan interests (too many), can speak only to insiders or cry on the "prevailing indifference" (Galli della Loggia).

All are waiting for something to happen.

Our first task, while many politicians and masters of thought are watching, will rebuild and reconstruct the historical memory of the pride of a nation wounded by its long civil war.
I know there is a majority of the Italian left and right, the South and North that is fed up with the premier and politics as it is. This
ordinary people and Italy has already made simple and made it great: today must be ready to reclaim it from those who continue to tarnish.
