Starting from February 2015, Format Research is proposing a new field study
to be realized on a representative sample of Italian firms, particularly those
embedded in (formal and / or informal) networks.
The study aims at investigating:
1) the demography of firms (the perimeter of firms embedded in networks);
2) relationships with banks (changes in firms' relationships with banks,
when embedded in networks);
3) expectations towards banks (firms' expectations in terms of service
when embedded in networks).
All analyses envisage segmentation by bank brand (main bank groups).
It should be noticed that another survey focusing on Italian firms embedded in
networks has been realized for five years by our research institute, on behalf of the
Italian Ministry of Economic Development.

research perimeter | observed phenomena
The reference universe is represented by the entirety of Italian firms that are embedded in
any of the following forms of networking (with the exception of firms operating in agriculture,
finance, and professional activities)...
firms that are – occasionally or
regularly – mutually embedded
through non-written agreements.
exchanging technological and
commercial information
represents the most common type
of agreement
informal networksnetwork of two or more firms with no formalized / conctractualized agreement
formal networksnetwork of two or more firms with formalized / contractualized agreement
consortia: legal institutions governing recognized voluntary aggregations, coordinating and regulating joint initiatives targeted to specific business activities either by private and public entities.
districts: agglomerations of firms located in a circumscribed and historically determined area, specialized in one or more phases of the production process and incorporated into a network of interrelated economic and social activities.
production chains: aggregations of actors collaborating to product processing and finalization (from the purchase of raw materials at the various processing stages, to the finalization and implementation of marketing activities).
groups: financially and organizationally interconnected groups of firms (legally autonomous units, subject to a single economic entity).
network contracts: contracts stipulated by several entrepreneurs with the aim of enhancing - both individually and collectively – their capacity for market innovation and competitiveness (D.L. 179/2012 converted into law 221/2012).
Other forms, such as Temporary Association Of Enterprises (ATI or RTI), joint venture, etc.

Significant benefits deriving from
networking…
Efficient collaborationwith mutual safeguarding
of autonomy
Additional Scale Economies (efficiency in
terms of costs, negotiable
power towards clients and
suppliers)
Overcoming of the
concepts of "territoriality"
and "dimensional threshold" (and relevant
limitations)
Sharing of risks and benefits
in new project investmentsand openings to new
markets.
measurement of phenomena | perimeter (1)
The phenomenon of (either formal and
informal) networking will be studied
according to the following parameters:
• Incidence (amount of Italian firms
embedded in networks)
• Structure of firms embedded in
networks (dimension, sector, area,
legal form)
• Longevity of firms embedded in
networks (natality / mortality of firms
and networks)
• Other topics of interest.
| 6
Particular attention will be paid to the relationships between firms embedded in networks
and credit institutes...
1 Analysis of different forms of networking by identification of the "decision-maker" within the network, with respect to bank policies(e.g. "who is making decisions within the group?")
2 Analysis of the banks used by those firms belonging to either formal and informal networks(e.g. do firms belonging to networks use the same banks or conversely, different banks? and within a single network, do firms make use of the same bank used by the Coordinator or conversely, different banks?)
3 Analysis of the providers used by those firms belonging to either formal and informal networks.(e.g. do firms belonging to networks use the same providers or conversely, different banks? and within a single network, do firms make use of the same provider used by the Coordinator or conversely, different banks?)
4 Facilitated / restricted access to credit for firms embedded in networks, groups, or production chains.
All analyses envisage
segmentation by bank
brand (main bank
groups).

Support to domestic and foreign growth
Analysis of expectations and expectancies of firms embedded in (formal or
informal) networks towards banks and credit institutes...
Financial and technical advisory
Legal support(e.g. in stipulating networking
contracts)
Support to the identification of possible
industrial partners
Facilitated Services (e.g. dedicated account,
collection, payments)
Financial offer tailored to firms embedded in
networks
Services targeted to "research &
innovation" projects
Services targeted to “internationalization"
projects
Tailored consultancy /
advisory services
Banks as local “aggregators” of
firms
The expectations of firms embedded in networks will be analyzed according to the firms' actual "needs" asexpressed in the course of the interview. The analysis envisages segmentation by bank brand (main bank groups).

method | survey's architecture…
Within each cell (e.g. micro trade enterprises
operating in the North-East of the country), three
levels of analysis are provided:
1) Business tendency
2) Relationship with banks
3) Expectations towards banks
Survey of firms resulting embedded in networking,
groups, districts, or production chains.
N = 2,500 cases
Study domains:
• dimension – micro (1-9 employees), small
(10-49), medium (50-249), big (over 249
employees) enterprises;
• economic sector – manufacturing,
construction, trade, tourism, services;
• macro area – north west, north east, center,
south and islands;
Confidence interval: 95% (Error: +2,0% constant within
strata, i.e. each of the seven considered areas).

Quality audit of the services provided will be guaranteed by means of specific project cycle management
procedures and preliminary identification of management responsibilities. Periodic checks and
assessments will allow continuous monitoring of the state of the project and relevant activities, their
compliance with organizational, logistical, time, and quality standards with respect to the expected product
and the program shared with the Client. In case of proven non-compliance, in agreement with the Client,
major determinants will be investigated, and subsequently valid corrective actions will be systematically
implemented. The approach offered by our institute is either simple and structured, as it focuses on eight
priority objectives that are consistent to the ISO9001 certification:
Garantire la sicurezza e la riservatezza
Accurate procedure interne per la sicurezza fisica e logica dei dati e dei deliverable
Garantire la continuità
Corretta allocazione e gestione delle risorse durante la realizzazione del progetto e costante trasferimento del know how
Verificare la soddisfazione del cliente
