	abstract = {The aim of this chapter is to discuss the role played by the internal capital market in business groups, the results so far achieved by the literature and to open new lines of research on how these internal flows influence the relations between companies belonging to the same group and in particular the relation between the head and its subsidiaries. The internal capital market may play a dual role. The first is that the presence of internal capital flows within a group can make it easier for companies to survive an external shock, such as an economic-financial crisis. The second is that the internal capital market facilitates the allocation of resources to investment projects, in particular innovative projects, for which it could be difficult to raise external funds. Most of this literature is focused mainly on large groups, undervaluing the relevance and the implications of small and medium-sized business groups.},

	abstract = {Depletion of fossil fuel deposits is the main current issue related to the world{\textquoteright}s power generation. Renewable energy sources integrated with energy efficiency represent an effective solution. The electrification of end-use coupled with renewable power generation integration is considered as an important tool to achieve these tasks. However, the current electric power system does not currently have the suitable features to allow this change. Therefore, in the future, it has to allow two-way direction power flows, communication, and automated controls to fully manage the system and customers. The resulting system is defined as the smart grid. This article analyses the smart grid state of play within China, the US, and the EU, assessing the completion state of each smart grid technology and integrated asset. The analysis related to these countries presented here shows that the smart grid overall state of play in China, the US, and the EU are equal to 18\%, 15\%, and 13\%, respectively, unveiling the need related to further efforts and investments in these countries for the full smart grid development.},

	title = {Mapping innovation dynamics in the Internet of Things domain: Evidence from patent analysis},
	journal = {Technological Forecasting and Social Change},
	year = {2017},
	abstract = {<p>The Internet of Things ({IoT}) is an emerging paradigm in the {ICT} sector and it is at the center of many current political and economic debates. Scholars, executives, and policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in understanding how to turn the {IoT} into reality, since various technological constraints (e.g., standardization and interoperability) limit the possibility of realizing an inclusive {IoT} information network. These constraints are exacerbated by the lack of a clear picture of the innovation dynamics and technology evolution of the {IoT}. This paper seeks to address this gap by mapping the development of {IoT} technologies. In particular, we have collected 61,972 {IoT} patents filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty in the period 2000{\^a}{\texteuro}{\textquotedblleft}2012. We analyze temporal trends, cross-country dynamics and identity of the applicants. Moreover, we provide insights about the development of the most relevant {IoT} technologies by looking at triadic patent families.</p>
