Blockchain interoperability is revolutionizing how digital assets and data move across decentralized networks. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the protocols and frameworks that enable seamless interaction between diverse blockchains. With a focus on leading solutions such as LayerZero ULN, Polkadot XCM, Cosmos IBC, and Chainlink CCIP, readers gain a deep understanding of the mechanisms driving cross-chain communication. Blockchain Without Barriers also deals with the vulnerabilities that have challenged the industry, examining incidents such as the Wormhole and Nomad exploits that resulted in significant financial losses. Addressing these challenges, the book offers a practical guide to simulating and enhancing interoperability technologies. Detailed code walkthroughs demonstrate how to replicate bridges, relayers, and event-driven contracts using Truffle, Ganache, and Solidity, empowering readers to experiment and innovate on their own desktops. A highlight of the book is the introduction of the Cross-Domain Trust Mesh (CDTM), a novel, modular framework designed for governance-aware systems that emphasize safety, compatibility, and decomposability. Key topics include replay protection, compliance, Oracle manipulation, and developer abstractions, all presented with clarity and technical depth. By establishing clear standards and practical guidance, this book lays the foundation for the next era of Web 3.0 - a truly decentralized and interoperable digital world. It is an essential resource for scholars, researchers, developers, and anyone eager to master the complexities of blockchain interoperability.

Modern data visualization with R / Robert Kabacoff. - Boca Raton ; London ; New York : CRC Press, 2024. - xii, 259 p. ; 24 cm. - (The R series / series editors John M. Chambers). - ISBN 978-1-0322-8760-7.
Modern Data Visualization with R describes the many ways that raw and summary data can be turned into visualizations that convey meaningful insights. It starts with basic graphs such as bar charts, scatter plots, and line charts, but progresses to less well-known visualizations such as tree maps, alluvial plots, radar charts, mosaic plots, effects plots, correlation plots, biplots, and the mapping of geographic data. Both static and interactive graphics are described and the use of color, shape, shading, grouping, annotation, and animations are covered in detail. The book moves from a default look and feel for graphs, to graphs with customized colors, fonts, legends, annotations, and organizational themes.The book is written for those new to data analysis as well as the seasoned data scientist. It can be used for both teaching and research, and will particularly appeal to anyone who needs to describe data visually and wants to find and emulate the most appropriate method quickly. The reader should have some basic coding experience, but expertise in R is not required. Some of the later chapters (e.g., visualizing statistical models) assume exposure to statistical inference at the level of analysis of variance and regression.

Rapporto sulle biblioteche italiane 2015-2017 / a cura di Vittorio Ponzani ; direzione scientifica di Giovanni Solimine. - Roma : Associazione italiana biblioteche, c2019. - 191 p. ; 24 cm. - ISBN 978-88-7812-277-2.
Rapporto sulle biblioteche italiane, 8, 2015-2017.
In questi ultimi tempi le biblioteche italiane sembrano avviate a un ineluttabile declino: dalle pagine del Rapporto sulle biblioteche italiane emerge un quadro di luci e ombre che, se possibile, sono più oscure che negli anni passati. Preoccupano le difficoltà e le incertezze in cui si dibattono le biblioteche statali nonostante i numerosi provvedimenti - a volte non proprio organici - che si sono succeduti negli anni, le biblioteche finora gestite dalle Province a causa del probabile conflitto tra la riforma delle Province (legge Delrio) e gli esiti del referendum del dicembre 2016. Qualche segnale positivo si intravede nel servizio SBN che, in occasione del suo trentennale, ha visto emergere una nuova visione strategica nei servizi offerti, ma anche la necessità di una riprogettazione di SBN per una fruizione pubblica più efficace e in direzione di un approccio più semplice, amichevole, aperto.

Sensemaking : the power of the humanities in the age of the algorithm / Christian Madsbjerg. - New York ; Boston : Hachette, 2017. - xxi, 216 p. ; 24 cm. - ISBN 978-0-316-39324-9.
Based on his work at some of the world's largest companies, including Ford, Adidas, and Chanel, Christian Madsbjerg's Sensemaking is a provocative stand against the tyranny of big data and scientism, and an urgent, overdue defense of human intelligence. Humans have become subservient to algorithms. Every day brings a new Moneyball fix-a math whiz who will crack open an industry with clean fact-based analysis rather than human intuition and experience. As a result, we have stopped thinking. Machines do it for us. Christian Madsbjerg argues that our fixation with data often masks stunning deficiencies, and the risks for humankind are enormous. Blind devotion to number crunching imperils our businesses, our educations, our governments, and our life savings. Too many companies have lost touch with the humanity of their customers, while marginalizing workers with liberal arts-based skills. Contrary to popular thinking, Madsbjerg shows how many of today's biggest success stories stem not from "quant" thinking but from deep, nuanced engagement with culture, language, and history. He calls his method sensemaking. In this landmark book, Madsbjerg lays out five principles for how business leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals can use it to solve their thorniest problems. He profiles companies using sensemaking to connect with new customers, and takes readers inside the work process of sensemaking "connoisseurs" like investor George Soros, architect Bjarke Ingels, and others. Both practical and philosophical, Sensemaking is a powerful rejoinder to corporate groupthink and an indispensable resource for leaders and innovators who want to stand out from the pack.

Decisions [Risorsa elettronica] : studying and supporting people facing hard choices / Baruch Fischhoff ; foreword by Paul Slovic. - Cambridge, Massachusetts ; London : MIT press, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-0-262-38443-8.
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
A lively, authoritative insider's account of how we make decisions and how decision-making research has developed over the last half century. Decisions describes the evolution of decision science (also called behavioral decision research and related to behavioral economics) through its application to challenging personal and public policy decisions, since the inception of the field. Baruch Fischhoff covers all major topics in basic research, including how people create options, determine what matters to them, evaluate their chances of achieving those goals, and engage their emotions. He shows how those processes play out in an exceptionally wide variety of decisions regarding health, safety, the environment, disasters, and national security, among other topics. He also examines how decision-making abilities vary across individuals and across the lifespan, as well as the ethics and politics of how research is conducted and its results are shared and applied.

Being and becoming a researcher in the tourism, travel and hospitality field : an expanding consciousness perspective / Atila Yüksel. - Wallingford ; Boston : CABI, c2025. - ix, 445 p. ; 26 cm. - ISBN 9781800628052.
Despite the emphasis placed on disciplinary knowledge, adaptability and research skills as pillars of academic rigor, the process of researcher development-particularly the transition from merely acquiring knowledge to embodying the role of a researcher-has been largely overlooked, contributing to high attrition rates among PhD students and early career researchers. Possessing subject expertise and technical skills, while necessary, does not guarantee the intellectual, emotional and existential growth required to navigate the complexities of academic life. The process of becoming a researcher is not solely a matter of accumulating credentials but involves a deeper transformation-one that prioritizes personal development and the expansion of consciousness.The concept of 'freedom of consciousness and its expansion' is crucial in understanding this transition from being a researcher in essence to becoming a researcher in existence. Theories of self-development underscore the role of consciousness in shaping cognitive functions, self-perception and the structuring of thought, making its expansion essential for fostering intellectual autonomy, creativity and resilience. Consciousness governs not only a researcher's cognitive capacities but also their attitudes, emotions and behaviours, influencing their ability to engage critically with knowledge, persist through challenges and contribute meaningfully to scholarly discourse.This book explores both the theoretical and practical dimensions of researcher development, offering a comprehensive framework that examines the transitions researchers undergo within both their internal and external environments. It introduces the macro-, mezzo- and micro-information spheres of researcher development, illustrating how individuals confront challenges, navigate conflicts, engage with contradictions and ultimately transform themselves through an evolving process of intellectual and personal growth. By integrating these dimensions, this book highlights the necessity of moving beyond mechanistic models of researcher training toward a more holistic approach that acknowledges the role of consciousness expansion in sustaining meaningful academic engagement.

Causal mechanisms and social change [Risorsa elettronica] : an interdisciplinary framework / Nicolò Bellanca. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, c2025. - (Palgrave studies in classical liberalism / series editors David F. Hardwick, Leslie Marsh, ISSN 2662-6489). - ISBN 978-3-032-01384-2.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
In a world where social complexity defies linear explanation, this book offers a groundbreaking methodology for understanding how and why societies transform. At its core is a systematic repertoire of 48 causal mechanisms-from individual psychology to institutional dynamics-providing powerful analytical tools for decoding social change. This interdisciplinary framework transcends traditional boundaries, integrating insights from sociology, political science, economics, philosophy, and history into a unified language for the social sciences. Moving beyond abstract theory, Bellanca demonstrates how to identify 'sufficient causes'-the decisive factors that, when present, guarantee specific social outcomes. The book progresses from individual mechanisms through conceptual frameworks to middle-range theories, offering both rigorous analysis and practical applications. Whether examining the rise of populism, institutional collapse, or collective mobilization, these tools reveal the hidden patterns driving social transformation. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this work provides not just understanding but actionable insights for those seeking to navigate-and influence-our rapidly changing world.

Consumer society and the economists [Risorsa elettronica] : consumption and well-being in the history of economic thought / Fernando Collantes. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Palgrave studies in the history of economic thought / series editors Peter Kriesler, Jan Toporowski, Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, ISSN 2662-6586). - ISBN 978-3-031-96645-3.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Is consumer society a vehicle for progress? Or is it a detour leading us away from the path to the good life? To what extent is consumer society a relevant object of analysis, after all? Today, these questions are central to the debate on the dynamics of capitalism and their impact on human well-being. Yet they are by no means exclusive to our time. This book traces the history of economic thought on consumer society from the late eighteenth century to the present day. It explores the ambivalence of classical political economists and Marx towards the world of consumption. It narrates the making of an intellectual battlefield between rival views of consumer society during the period 1870-1945 and the head-on clash that took place between those views during the decades after the Second World War. How these debates reemerged following the end of the Cold War and the Global Financial Crisis is also covered.This is the story of how economists debated consumer society and how that debate was shaped by another fundamental discussion: how economists should conduct their research and what kind of relationships they should maintain with other social sciences and the humanities. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought and political economy.

Descrizione della risorsa al 13 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book proposes a novel transformational humanistic leadership approach applied to cultural heritage tourism, based on humanistic values of human dignity, creativity, and autonomy and supported by a distinctive leadership ethos, purpose, and guiding principles that promote the betterment of society.By reimagining how cultural heritage tourism leadership upholds human dignity through tour experiences that generate moments of grounding, reflection, understanding, and healing, humanistic leadership provides an ethical framework and strategic alignment to encourage human flourishing. In proposing a pluralistic leadership ethic that unites social, ecological, and technological influences, the impact of cultural heritage tourism on visitors'human dignity is considered, culminating in transformational humanistic leadership that promotes tourism sustainability, authenticity, and adaptability. Practical leadership challenges are explored through case studies and leadership inquiries that reflect the cultural complexity of international heritage tourism, including Avebury Neolithic stone henge in the United Kingdom, Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths in Wales, the Museum of the Cherokee People in the United States, and the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory in Germany.Cultural heritage tourism leaders, public history and anthropology scholars, those interested in applied humanism in heritage contexts, and leadership ethicists will benefit from reflecting on human dignity as a central tenant of transformational humanistic leadership.

La generazione-Z all'università : chi sono e cosa pensano i nuovi studenti / Asher Colombo, Gianpiero Dalla Zuanna, Manuela Scioni. - Bologna : Il mulino, c2026. - 231 p. ; 22 cm. - (Ricerche e studi dell'Istituto Carlo Cattaneo). - ISBN 978-88-15-39530-6.
La cosiddetta "generazione-Z" si trova oggi al centro di un intenso dibattito teso a comprenderne gli atteggiamenti, i comportamenti, le opinioni. Chi sono davvero i giovani di questa generazione? Quali speranze li animano e quali inquietudini li attraversano? Il libro si propone di rispondere a questi interrogativi concentrandosi su un segmento molto caratterizzato: gli studenti universitari. Basato sui risultati di un'ampia e rigorosa ricerca empirica condotta in tre grandi atenei del Nord Italia, il volume ricostruisce le rappresentazioni delle minoranze etniche, religiose, sessuali, immigrate elaborate dagli studenti. Ne emerge un quadro spesso inatteso che contribuisce a illuminare parte del modo in cui i giovani adulti italiani guardano al presente e al futuro della società.

Leadership in the ancient world : concepts, models, theories / edited by Melina Tamiolaki. - Cambridge [etc.] : Cambridge U.P., 2025. - xv, 230 p. ; 24 cm. - (Antiquity in global context / general editors Hans Beck, Tamar Hodos, Carlos Noreña). - ISBN 978-1-009-49384-0.
Leaders abounded in the ancient world, from kings, pharaohs, emperors, tyrants, politicians, and orators to generals, minor officials and intellectuals. This book opens fresh perspectives on leadership by examining under-explored topics, posing new questions and revisiting old concepts. In particular, it seeks to shift attention from constitutional issues stricto sensu (such as kingship, monarchy, tyranny, etc.) or, more productively, to prompt a re-examination of these issues through the lens of leadership. The volume includes chapters on a range of cultures from across the ancient world in order to promote comparative reflection. Key questions include whether some models of good and bad leadership were universal among ancient cultures or exhibited differences? Why did a certain culture emphasise one leadership quality while another insisted on another? Why did only some cultures develop a theoretical discourse on leadership? How did each culture appropriate, define, redefine (or react) to existing concepts of leadership?

La scomparsa dei giovani : le 10 mappe che spiegano il declino demografico dell'Italia / Alessandro Rosina. - Milano : Chiarelettere, 2025. - 127 p. ; 23 cm. - (Principio attivo). - ISBN 978-88-3296-697-8.
"Glaciazione demografica", "crollo della natalità", "rischio spopolamento". Sono, queste, solo alcune delle espressioni che negli ultimi tempi affollano le pagine dei giornali, mentre i dati ci dicono che in Italia i ragazzi under 15 sono ormai diventati meno della metà di chi ha 65 anni e oltre, con la prospettiva di ridursi a meno di uno su tre. Quella che il nostro paese si trova ad affrontare oggi è insomma una vera crisi, che nel giro di pochi anni minaccia di tramutarsi in un declino strutturale irreversibile. In La scomparsa dei giovani Alessandro Rosina spiega come, dopo l'effervescente crescita dei primi decenni del secondo dopoguerra, siamo entrati in una spirale regressiva, e prefigura le ricadute inevitabili e concretissime che riguarderanno molteplici aspetti della nostra vita. Per esempio le pensioni, dal momento che un numero sempre più ridotto di cittadini attivi dovrà sostenere con il proprio lavoro un numero crescente di anziani; la sanità, perché il rapporto sfavorevole tra giovani e anziani si tradurrà in una carenza del personale sanitario, a fronte di una popolazione sempre più bisognosa di cure; l'immigrazione, che si confermerà un elemento chiave nella società di domani, e forse una delle poche speranze reali di ristabilire un equilibrio. Che fare, dunque? La soluzione, certo, è nelle mani della politica, ma passa anche attraverso comportamenti individuali e scelte collettive che responsabilizzano tutti noi: Rosina ci illustra qui i primi, decisivi passi da compiere per tenere aperto il futuro delle nuove generazioni.

Il secolo delle generazioni : scoprire il capitale multigenerazionale e anticipare il futuro / Isabella Pierantoni. - Bologna : Il mulino, c2026. - 259 p. ; 22 cm. - (Guide). - ISBN 978-88-15-39512-2.
L'appartenenza generazionale contribuisce a determinare chi siamo: influenza scelte, stili di comunicazione e la nostra idea del mondo e del futuro. Oggi, per la prima volta nella storia, convivono otto generazioni; nei contesti più longevi fino a cinque possono lavorare insieme, ciascuna con visioni e valori diversi. Una coesistenza complessa, ma anche un patrimonio umano poco compreso e valorizzato. Ma cosa significa appartenere a una generazione? Come si traduce in comportamenti, lavoro, relazioni, desideri? E come trasformare questa convivenza in una risorsa per individui, comunità e organizzazioni? L'autrice presenta una mappa che unisce demografia e scenari futuri per esplorare come le generazioni rappresentino i loro tempi e anticipino i cambiamenti in arrivo. Attraverso una lettura comparata delle otto coorti attuali e l'analisi delle loro epoche, rivela come nasce una mentalità generazionale, come si manifesta in famiglia, al lavoro e in società, e come contribuisce a plasmare il domani. Non solo analisi, ma strumenti concreti per superare i cliché e costruire società più eque, organizzazioni più intelligenti

Tecnologie della relazione [Risorsa elettronica] : interazioni mediate, schemi sociali, esperienze emotive e ruoli sociali nell'era digitale / Luigi Monsurrò, Silvia Grappi. - Milano : Angeli, 2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Gestione e organizzazione aziendale). - ISBN 978-88-351-8358-7.
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Sebbene la tecnologia abbia tradizionalmente una funzione pratica e utilitaristica, nel corso del tempo il suo ruolo nella vita delle persone ha assunto anche una forma sociale. Gli individui, infatti, manifestano una tendenza a relazionarsi con le tecnologie in maniera simile a quella in cui si relazionano con le altre persone. Questa tendenza, inoltre, assume sempre maggiore rilevanza con la diffusione di tecnologie con caratteristiche antropomorfe via via più raffinate. Questo lavoro passa in rassegna la letteratura che studia tale componente sociale del consumo di tecnologia in tutte le sue forme: dalla replica di schemi sociali alla riproduzione di ruoli sociali. Inoltre, approfondisce la natura sociale dell'interazione uomo-tecnologia anche empiricamente, tramite due studi che indagano la riproposizione di schemi sociali e l'interpretazione di ruoli sociali nel contesto dell'intelligenza artificiale generativa. Infine, osserva come una lente sociale e relazionale possa essere importante per leggere il complesso fenomeno del consumo di tecnologia.

This book examines why coordinated and proactive development strategies-aligned with emerging global sustainability imperatives-are essential for achieving these goals. It outlines the contours of an inclusive green development strategy, placing a green developmental state at the center and emphasizing the role of broadly defined industrial policies. Drawing on heterodox economics and international political economy, Eva Paus and Rafael Domínguez analyze how Latin American governments can respond to current economic and geopolitical pressures. Systemic change is possible if states adopt environmental-developmental roles, pursue active non-alignment, and engage in more coordinated foreign policy efforts. Readers will gain insight into the political and economic conditions that shape the feasibility of inclusive green development. The resulting book breaks down the strategic choices available to governments seeking to integrate sustainability with long-term economic transformation and inclusion. It offers a grounded perspective on how policy direction, institutional capacity, and international positioning can be used to navigate the challenges of our times.

A beginner's guide to dynamic optimization in economics [Risorsa elettronica] / Gerald Shively. - Cham : Springer, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Classroom companion. Economics, ISSN 2662-2890). - ISBN 978-3-032-09374-5.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book introduces the basic concepts and tools of dynamic optimization as used in economics. The book emphasizes intuition, gradually adding small doses of mathematical development as needed to provide an accessible stand-alone introduction to the topic. All three primary approaches to dynamic optimization are covered: the calculus of variations, optimal control theory and dynamic programming. Numerous examples from the economics literature are presented, along with reference to key historical developments in the fields of microeconomics, macroeconomics, natural resource economics and other sub-disciplines. Written in an informal and readable style, the book focuses on building intuition alongside mathematical rigor in order to establish a foundation for more advanced treatment and study.

Behavioral change by information provision in a pandemic [Risorsa elettronica] / Eri Nakamura, Fumitoshi Mizutani. - Singapore : Springer, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (SpringerBriefs in economics, ISSN 2191-5512). - ISBN 978-981-95-4220-8.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book is novel in that it provides insights into the effects of information provision on people's perceptions and behavioral changes during the pandemic, and provides empirical evidence on its mechanisms and policy implications from different perspectives. It compares the different characteristics and effectiveness of information sources from the government, the news media, professionals in the field (health care workers), non-professional ordinary people, and the close environment, including family, friends, and colleagues. The consumer externality is the key concept in the analyses, as it identifies the effects of one's own consumption on the actions of others in constrained situations such as pandemics. Data from surveys conducted in Japan, the United States, and Germany suggest some implications for policymaking during a pandemic. One is related to differences in the characteristics of information. For example, information from experts in the field is perceived differently than information from other sources. Similarly, information from authorized organizations such as government and the news media remains critical in an emergency. Another relates to behavioral changes caused by the provision of information. Clearly, the effects of information on behavior change depend on the characteristics of the activity being addressed. We examine the effects on out-of-home and in-home activities during the pandemic, both of which focus on leisure activities, and show that the effects of information on each activity are quite different. Overall, this book provides empirical evidence for the importance of information dissemination policies that work with appropriate information providers and take into account country-specific attitudes to information.

The built environment and public health in India [Risorsa elettronica] : opportunities, challenges and future pathways / Vidya Yadav, Mukunda Mishra, Kapil Kumar Gavsker editors. - Singapore : Springer, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (New frontiers in regional science : Asian perspectives / editor-in-chief Yoshiro Higano, ISSN 2199-5982 ; 85). - ISBN 978-981-95-1865-4.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This volume deals with the determinants of both good and bad health, at individual as well as community levels, or in a broader sense, all of which are determined by multiple, critically interlinked actors that are surprisingly concentrated within the built environment. It analyzes the critical challenges in contemporary Indian cities - rapid urbanization accompanied by challenges from climate change, abnormal weather, urban flooding, and many other extreme events. This work is a timely effort that encompasses the prospects and constraints of public health when India is rapidly urbanizing, which puts severe strains on pre-existing urban health infrastructure and services to meet basic human needs, along with significant shrinkage of open, green spaces. It is also relevant when India is recovering from the nightmare of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was largely an urban health hazard, and the Indian urban health system needs substantial renewal. The book sheds light on those Indian cities, surprisingly two-thirds of the total numbers, that lack local area plans, zonal plans, and master plans. This absence affects a significant proportion of the urban population that is outside the planned neighborhoods, with unplanned, and in most cases inadequate, health infrastructure and services. This volume takes into account the typical health behavior in the built environment due to the increasing likelihood of a sedentary lifestyle that leads to anxiety, cardiovascular diseases, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, and many other similar signs of poor health associated with this lifestyle. The book serves to explore the linkages between the isolated notions of green spaces, smart cities, physical activities, mental health, and other beneficial elements. Amid the urban-industrial framework, these factors could be effective in resolving the critical public health crisis in transformative built environments and cityscapes through the synthesis of cross-disciplinary knowledge.

Descrizione della risorsa al 10 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Women are underrepresented in the field of economics. Why is there a gender disparity in this discipline? How does this impact economic policy? What does this mean for society? This contributed volume explores the underrepresentation of women in the field of economics. Offering unique empirical approaches into gender imbalance in a profession, this book documents the leaky pipeline that women face in the field of economics. Contributors draw upon quantitative and qualitative data, exploring unique challenges and opportunities women economists encounter in their personal and professional lives. Chapters highlight issues of discrimination and implicit bias, such as silencing, mansplaining, and the presumption of incompetence. These sections bring to life the experiences of female students and faculty, examining teaching, hiring, colleague interactions, and tenure and promotion processes. The authors propose mechanisms to increase diversity and improve the experiences of all faculty members. Missing Voices in Economics explores whether historical sexist structures are slowing progress in economic research and, as a result, human development. Readers will walk away from the book ready to continue this conversation and support gender equity in economics.

Quantum economics : the new economics of communication, power and power relations / Christian Aspalter. - Cheltenham ; Northampton, MA : Elgar, c2025. - viii, 232 p. ; 24 cm. - ISBN 978-1-0353-6680-4.
Following in the footsteps of Wieser, Mises, Schumpeter, Hayek and Rothschild, Christian Aspalter presents a novel economic theory synthesis, based on insights from human quantum mechanics. Including cutting-edge concepts and diagrams of quantum supply and demand field curves, the book outlines old and new quantum physics theories and demonstrates how they can contribute to, elevate and extend standard mainstream economic theory. This book offers a solution to Hayek's unsolved 'coordination problem' in the form of human entanglements that act from the past into the future and through current-day communications, also activating and amplifying power relations from the past. This for the first time fully explains instantaneous human coordination of economic markets, the majority of market agents and market institutions, as well as governments.

Radical markets : uprooting capitalism and democracy for a just society / Eric A. Posner and E. Glen Weyl. - Princeton ; Oxford : Princeton U.P., c2018. - xxii, 337 p. ; 23 cm. - ISBN 978-0-691-17750-2.
Many blame today's economic inequality, stagnation, and political instability on the free market. The solution is to rein in the market, right? This book turns this thinking--and pretty much all conventional thinking about markets, both for and against--on its head. The book reveals...new ways to organize markets for the good of everyone. It shows how the emancipatory force of genuinely open, free, and competitive markets can reawaken the dormant nineteenth-century spirit of liberal reform and lead to greater equality, prosperity, and cooperation. The authors demonstrate why private property is inherently monopolistic, and how we would all be better off if private ownership were converted into a public auction for public benefit. They show how the principle of one person, one vote inhibits democracy, suggesting instead an ingenious way for voters to effectively influence the issues that matter most to them. They argue that every citizen of a host country should benefit from immigration--not just migrants and their capitalist employers. They propose leveraging antitrust laws to liberate markets from the grip of institutional investors and creating a data labor movement to force digital monopolies to compensate people for their electronic data. Only by radically expanding the scope of markets can we reduce inequality, restore robust economic growth, and resolve political conflicts. But to do that, we must replace our most sacred institutions with truly free and open competition--this book shows how.

Cheap labour regime in platform capitalism [Risorsa elettronica] : how flexible accumulation fuels the super-exploitation of gig workers / Arif Novianto. - Singapore : Springer, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-981-95-1841-8.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book offers a groundbreaking exploration of platform-based labor in the Global South, with Indonesia as its primary case study. Moving beyond familiar accounts of precarious work, this book addresses a central paradox: why do millions continue to aspire to become platform workers, despite low pay, poor protections, and grueling conditions? Drawing on Michael Burawoy's labor regime theory, the author examines how labor is governed and exploited under platform capitalism. Through a rigorous mixed-methods research design the book identifies five structural pillars of the "cheap labor regime": the persistent oversupply of labor, hyper-competition between platforms, neoliberal state complicity, labor processes engineered for maximum surplus extraction, and the erosion of workers' bargaining power. Indonesia, with an estimated 5 million platform workers, stands as one of the clearest examples of super-exploitation in the digital economy. This book dissects the mechanisms that normalize such conditions, exposing how labor is commodified and discipline enforced not only through economic necessity but also through the architecture of the platforms themselves. This book is essential reading for scholars, students, policymakers, labor organizers, and readers interested in critical perspectives on the future of work. It delivers fresh insights into how digital capitalism shapes labor relations, particularly in the Global South-offering a powerful framework for understanding resistance, inequality, super-exploitation and the enduring allure of platform work.

Donna e impresa : storie di cavalieri del lavoro / [Cecilia Dau Novelli ... et al.]. - Venezia : Marsilio Arte, 2024. - 219 p. ; 29 cm. - (Storie di imprese e di cavalieri del lavoro / collana a cura di Franco Caramazza, Carlo Quintino Sella ; Federazione nazionale dei cavalieri del lavoro ; [2]). - ISBN 979-12-5463-240-6.
Meccanica, elettronica, finanza, editoria, edilizia. Sono solo alcuni degli ambiti in cui l'intraprendenza femminile si è distinta per il contributo al percorso di rinascita economica, sociale e civile dell'Italia del secondo Novecento, scardinando mentalità e cultura che per lungo tempo hanno considerato l'iniziativa imprenditoriale come una questione maschile. Nel 1964 Gilberta Gabrielli Minganti viene insignita Cavaliere del Lavoro: è la prima donna a ricevere l'onorificenza dall'anno d'istituzione dell'Ordine, nel 1901.Nel sessantesimo anniversario di quella che può considerarsi una data simbolo per l'imprenditoria italiana, Marsilio Arte pubblica Donna e Impresa, a cura della Federazione Nazionale Cavalieri del Lavoro, volume che omaggia la figura della donna, presentando venticinque profili di imprenditrici nominate Cavalieri del Lavoro. Le storie delle imprenditrici insignite nel secolo scorso di questa onorificenza - come Bruna Vecchi Culcasi, imprenditrice agricola e prima donna Cavaliere del Lavoro del Sud, o Paola Fendi, fondatrice di una delle case di moda più rinomate internazionalmente - sono una straordinaria testimonianza del ruolo significativo che le donne hanno svolto nel processo di evoluzione socioeconomica dell'Italia, contribuendo al progresso del Paese."Oggi le donne nominate Cavaliere del Lavoro non sono più un'eccezione" ricorda il presidente della Federazione Maurizio Sella; dall'inizio del millennio ad oggi sono novantatré le donne insignite di questa onorificenza. Dalla meccanica alla moda, dalla finanza all'agricoltura, dall'edilizia all'elettronica, le donne rappresentano quasi il 30% degli imprenditori italiani e, tra gli under 35, quasi il 40%.Il coraggio, la determinazione e la sagacia delle imprenditrici italiane che emergono da questi numeri sono sinonimo di progresso, innovazione e produttività; la donna non più come mera "regina della casa", ma come forza trainante della crescita economica nazionale e della rinascita sociale e civile dell'Italia, a partire dagli anni Sessanta. Il volume, che si apre con una prefazione di Sella, raccoglie due saggi introduttivi di Cecilia Dau Novelli e di Vera Zamagni. Dau Novelli approfondisce il ruolo fondamentale delle imprese femminili del Novecento, a partire dalla prima avanguardia di donne Cavalieri dell'Ordine; tra le altre, Novelli cita Angiola Maria Barbizzoli Migliavacca, a guida della società Campari di Milano; Anna Bonomi Bolchini, a capo dell'impresa edile Bonomi a Milano; Gilberta Gabrielli Minganti e le officine meccaniche di Bologna, e Maria Antonietta di Frassineto con l'azienda di famiglia in Val di Chiana. Il secondo saggio è uno studio sulle dinamiche - già esposte nel precedente volume pubblicato dalla Federazione, Famiglia e Impresa - che governano le imprese familiari, evidenziando come quest'ultime abbiano alimentato l'esponenziale crescita dell'imprenditorialità femminile. Zamagni ripercorre le storie di otto donne, mogli o figlie che, vittime dell'imperativo della continuità aziendale, rivelano il loro spiccato senso imprenditoriale. Seguono le testimonianze delle quattro componenti del Consiglio Direttivo del lavoro della Federazione. Il nucleo centrale del volume è dedicato alle 25 donne nominate Cavalieri del Lavoro nel secondo Novecento: Brigida Mascitti ha redatto le schede storiche dedicate a ciascuna di esse, mentre Cristian Fuschetto e Paolo Mazzanti hanno realizzato le relative interviste ed i ritratti. Il volume, ricchissimo di immagini storiche, in larga parte inedite, si chiude con l'elenco delle donne nominate Cavalieri del Lavoro dal 2000 al 2024.

Descrizione della risorsa al 4 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book explores unemployment from a monetary macroeconomics perspective, identifying the pathology at the origin of unemployment and the principles of reform that will enable a passage from capitalism to post-capitalism.Bernard Schmitt explores the problem of involuntary unemployment by developing his quantum monetary macroeconomic analysis, demonstrating that the presence of fixed capital increases both physical productivity and the production of economic value. Money is at the core of Schmitt's analysis because the relation between money and output is what makes it difficult to explain the origin of involuntary unemployment. Schmitt shows that unemployment is formally impossible in any economy producing wage-, interest-, and investment-goods. It is only when the economic system includes fixed capital amortization that the conditions for the formation of unemployment are met. The determining role is played by the natural rate of interest: when this rate falls below the market rate of interest, unemployment sets in. Schmitt provides a new explanation of the mechanism leading to unemployment and advocates a reform that, if implemented, would break any link between capital accumulation and unemployment.This book is essential reading for those interested in issues around unemployment and post-capitalism as well as the fields of political economy, macroeconomics, economic theory, and heterodox economics more broadly.

Banking on inclusion [Risorsa elettronica] : overcoming financial exclusion in Africa through FinTech innovations / Ibrahim Nandom Yakubu editor. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Sustainable development goals series, ISSN 2523-3092). - ISBN 978-3-031-96716-0.
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of how financial technology (FinTech) innovations are reshaping the financial landscape in Africa, addressing the critical issue of financial exclusion. It provides a focused examination of how digital solutions such as mobile money, digital banking, blockchain, and peer-to-peer lending are overcoming the longstanding barriers that have hindered access to formal financial services across the continent. These barriers include limited banking infrastructure, high transaction costs, and low financial literacy, all of which disproportionately affect underserved populations in both rural and urban areas. While financial exclusion is a global issue, Africa presents a unique case where the majority of the population remains unbanked or underbanked, despite the widespread use of mobile phones and the growth of digital ecosystems. By examining these specific regional challenges and offering targeted solutions, this book fills a gap in existing literature that often generalizes FinTech's impact without addressing the specific needs and circumstances of African economies. It will be of interest to academics, students, and policymakers of development finance, financial inclusion, financial services, and financial technology..

Descrizione della risorsa al 26 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Digital finance is the term used to describe the usage of technologies in financial services. At present, digital financial transactions could reduce domestic demand for fiat currency, i.e., traditional currency. It is observed that the holding of physical currency by people is also slowly diminishing. In future, the use of physical currency for financial transactions is expected to cease across the globe. Investors are free to invest in digital assets like Bitcoin and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) which facilitate liquidity of investment. The assets accumulated by digital finance cannot be traced because of a distributed ledger system. Aspirant investors and other stakeholders should have a fundamental understanding of the dimensions of digital finance viz., finance technology, crypto-currency exchange, and regulatory mechanisms. In this context, this book is intended to acquaint the reader with a basic knowledge of digital finance, digital currency and crypto exchanges.

Markets introduces important dynamics of both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Privacy describes the cryptographic primitives that enable safe, blockchain-based digital transactions, perhaps the most critical infrastructure for global adoption of Web3. The last part of the book on DAOs highlights benefits but also risks and boundaries of the emerging new form of organization.Each part is introduced in a short chapter to set the stage, followed by the contributions of selected scholars. The chapters explain not only what the phenomenon in question is, but also what the associated opportunities and risks are. They highlight what practitioners can do with the insight their research provides.All chapters are short, easy-to-read, and tailored to the practitioners who need to understand these topics but whose busy schedule doesn't allow for enough time to read full academic articles to do so.

The city's defense : the Bank of England and the remaking of economic governance, 1914-1939 / Robert Yee. - Cambridge [etc.] : Cambridge U.P., 2025. - xxiii, 432 p. ; 23 cm. - (Studies in macroeconomic history / series editor Michael D. Bordo). - ISBN 978-1-009-67188-0.
In The City's Defense, Robert Yee examines how the City of London maintained its status as an international nancial center. He traces the role of the Bank of England in restructuring the domestic, imperial, European, and international monetary systems in the aftermath of the First World War. In response to mass unemployment, volatile exchange rates, and competitive devaluations, the Bank expanded its reach into areas outside the traditional scope of central banking, including industrial policy and foreign affairs. It designed a system of economic governance that reinforced the preeminence of sterling as a reserve currency. Drawing on a range of archival evidence from national governments, private corporations, and international organizations, Yee reevaluates our understanding of Britain's impact on the global economic order.

The digital currency revolution [Risorsa elettronica] : central bank digital currencies, crypto, and the future of global finance / Mark Mobius ... [et al.]. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-3-032-02819-8.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
The past decade has seen an explosion of growth in digitalization, financial technology and mobile payments in emerging markets. The rise of global alternate financial systems has spurred central banks into action, fast-tracking solutions like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) from the concept to pilot stage in several countries. The rise in interest in CBDCs has been rapid and widespread - per the Atlantic Council's CBDC tracker, more than 95% of the global economy is considering the introduction of CBDC in some form. Although most of the world is interested in CBDCs, emerging markets have raced ahead in the implementation, pilots and launch of different models. This book covers the emergence of digital payments, cryptocurrencies, and CBDCs. As emerging markets continue to experiment with these futuristic digital financial instruments systems, this book offers case studies across a range of countries and explores their unique economic and social context. It provides an updated overview on the initiatives and their positive and negative consequences globally. Common arguments against CBDCs include concerns related to privacy and concentrating autonomy in central banks. In the US, arguments against CBDCs also highlight that if cash becomes obsolete, there is more government control and less privacy on our spending and financial transactions. Lastly, this book explores the potential disruption in the global financial order unleashed by instruments like wholesale and retail CBDCs, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, cross-border payment instruments, and digital payment systems. It engages in discussion relating to an ongoing policy war regarding financial payments and digital currencies and the possible dilution of the strength of physical currency. Mark Mobius has spent over 40 years working in and travelling throughout emerging and frontier markets. During this time he has been in charge of actively managed funds totalling over $50 billion in assets.

Digital economy dynamics [Risorsa elettronica] : strategy and processes in digital banking / David Vander, Rahat Munir, Stephen Brammer. - Singapore : Springer, c2026. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-981-95-7397-4.
Descrizione della risorsa al 6 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book examines how strategic thinking is evolving in response to the realities of the digital economy. Traditional strategy frameworks, built for slower, more stable environments, no longer capture the complexity of today's business landscape, where innovation is constant, data is abundant, and competition is shaped by digital platforms and ecosystems. Focusing on the global digital banking sector-one of the most digitally advanced industries-the book draws on original research, including interviews with 39 senior strategy leaders. It explores how organisations are navigating strategy in practice, highlighting shifts in decision-making, organisational logic, and the role of technology in shaping strategic options. Rather than proposing that classical strategy be discarded, the book argues for its adaptation. It offers a grounded, research-based view of how organisations are integrating agility, experimentation, and digital infrastructure into their strategic processes. The goal is not to replace strategic theory, but to update it-reflecting the conditions of a digital-first economy. This book bridges multiple disciplines, including strategic management, organisational theory, information systems, and innovation. While its case focus is on digital banking, the insights are relevant across sectors facing digital transformation. Designed for scholars, practitioners, and educators, this book provides both empirical depth and conceptual clarity. It contributes to the growing conversation about what strategy means in an environment defined by speed, fluidity, and ongoing technological change.

Energy use in bitcoin mining [Risorsa elettronica] : the environmental impact of cryptocurrencies / Benjamin A. Jones, Andrew L. Goodkind and Robert P. Berrens. - London ; New York : Routledge, 2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Routledge explorations in energy studies). - ISBN 978-1-003-43764-2.
Descrizione della risorsa al 4 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book provides a unique introduction to Bitcoin mining's energy use and environmental impacts. Bitcoin, the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency, has ignited the world of decentralized finance and digital currencies. However, Bitcoin has a major problem: it uses massive amounts of energy to produce or 'mine'the coins, and this energy use has tremendous environmental consequences. By recent estimates, Bitcoin mining's global electricity use is larger than entire countries such as the Netherlands and Argentina. In this book, the authors explain the process by which Bitcoin is mined, why it requires significant energy, and what we know about where that energy comes from. It also explores the environmental impacts and associated monetary damages of this energy use. Further, the book presents the current state of scientific knowledge around these questions and provides original economic damage estimates from the authors and compares them to those of other goods and services. The book discusses links between Bitcoin and climate change, public health, air pollution, 'e-waste', water, and land use. It concludes by discussing alternative ways in which Bitcoin mining can be made green by using less energy, as well as the policy and regulatory challenges that may hinder progress toward this goal. Innovative and insightful, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and industry professionals who are researching and working in the areas of cryptocurrencies, economics, business and finance, engineering, energy, and environmental studies more broadly.

Il Governatorato di Paolo Baffi, interrotto in modo riprovevole da un'inchiesta giudiziaria nel 1979, ha rappresentato un benchmark nella gestione della politica monetaria e di vigilanza bancaria. I cambiamenti introdotti nel periodo del suo Governatorato in ambito monetario permisero al nostro Paese di aderire al processo di integrazione monetaria europea e di superare la fase della Grande Inflazione degli anni Settanta. La politica di vigilanza di Baffi Governatore favorì un'allocazione più efficiente delle risorse finanziarie e contribuì a migliorare la stabilità delle singole istituzioni e del sistema bancario nel suo complesso.

In copertina: AIFI Associazione Italiana del Private Equity, Venture Capital e Private Debt..
Negli ultimi anni gli operatori di private equity stanno attribuendo un'importanza sempre maggiore alla strategia di add-on, vale a dire alla realizzazione di un percorso di crescita esterna delle società in portafoglio, tramite operazioni di acquisizione. Questo processo di aggregazione consente alle imprese di diventare più competitive e internazionali, accrescendone il valore. L'obiettivo del presente Quaderno è quello di analizzare questo fenomeno nel periodo 2012-2021 all'interno del mercato italiano, da sempre caratterizzato da aziende che necessitano un salto dimensionale, per poter essere protagoniste di un contesto in continua evoluzione. La prima parte del testo è dedicata alle principali caratteristiche e trend del mercato dell'M&A, per poi entrare nello specifico della strategia di add-on, descrivendone l'evoluzione nel tempo, le peculiarità delle imprese attive in queste operazioni e dei soggetti che le realizzano. Con lo scopo di approfondire l'opinione dei protagonisti di questo mercato, vengono poi illustrati i risultati di due survey qualitative realizzate tra operatori di private equity e consulenti M&A, anche attraverso il commento diretto di un advisor. Un tema fondamentale nella strategia di add-on è poi quello delle modalità di finanziamento delle operazioni, a cui è dedicato uno specifico capitolo. L'ultima parte, infine, illustra il ruolo di un investitore privato a controllo pubblico, anche attraverso la descrizione di alcuni casi concreti di investimento.

The technological revolution of financial markets : disintermediation or re-intermediation? : implications in financial regulation and supervision / Francesca Pellegrini. - Milano : Lefebvre Giuffrè, c2025. - xviii, 379 p. ; 24 cm. - ISBN 978-88-28-88108-7.
The digital transformation of financial markets is reshaping intermediation dynamics and redefining the role of traditional actors. This monograph explores the impact of emerging technologies - including artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, and quantum computing - on the architecture of financial systems, examining whether these developments lead to disintermediation or, conversely, to new forms of reintermediation through technological gatekeepers. The research adopts an interdisciplinary methodology that combines legal, economic, and technological perspectives, and conducts an extensive comparative analysis across key jurisdictions, including the European Union, the United States, China, and Singapore. Particular attention is devoted to the evolving EU framework and its interaction with international initiatives, highlighting the tension between innovation, financial stability, and investor protection. By integrating theoretical insights with cross-jurisdictional assessment, the study contributes to the academic debate on digital finance and offers policymakers and practitioners a structured framework to address the regulatory and supervisory challenges of a rapidly evolving financial ecosystem.

Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026.
This book presents a comprehensive evaluation of green and low-carbon development in Anhui province, China, through the construction of the Green and Low-Carbon Development Index (GLCDI). By integrating five sub-dimensions-green ecology, green industry, green lifestyle, environmental governance, and policy protection-with 29 secondary indicators, it offers a scientific framework to assess ecological capacity and development potential at both provincial and municipal levels. What distinguishes this approach is its combination of quantitative analysis (using the entropy method and coupling coordination models) and in-depth case studies of key industries such as manufacturing, construction, and tourism, which reveal spatial-temporal disparities and driving factors of green development. The content spans policy background, index construction, empirical analysis, and policy recommendations, with a focus on balancing economic growth and ecological sustainability. Intended for researchers, policymakers, and students in environmental science, regional development, and sustainable economics, the book provides actionable insights for green industrial transformation, ecological protection, and policy optimization. Its key strengths lie in the GLCDI's scalability for national application, detailed industry-specific analyses, and targeted strategies to address regional imbalances, making it a valuable resource for advancing low-carbon development in China and beyond.

La potenza economica nell'Ottocento è stata possibile per le nazioni che avevano ferro e carbone. Nel Novecento sono stati il petrolio e il gas i principali motori dello sviluppo. Oggi i protagonisti della crescita sono gli elementi classificati come Terre Rare. E chi se le assicura, si garantisce una posizione di dominio strategico nel mondo. L'economia green basata sulla tecnologia informatica e digitale non ne può prescindere. La Cina ne blocca le esportazioni. Gli Stati Uniti vogliono annettersi la Groenlandia per estrarle. L'Europa non le produce, ma ne ha un disperato bisogno. Le Terre Rare sono al centro dei desideri di ogni grande potenza economica e costituiscono un punto nevralgico per comprendere le tensioni geopolitiche, attuali e future. Sono 17 elementi presenti nella tavola periodica di Mendeleev, indispensabili per settori strategici come la transizione energetica, l'elettronica, l'aerospazio, l'illuminazione, i trasporti e soprattutto la difesa. A loro guardano con attenzione le industrie, i governi e i mercati, tutti consapevoli che siamo entrati una nuova era. Questo libro esamina il complesso quadro geopolitico che si muove intorno alle Terre Rare, e le forme esistenti di investimento, per entrare nel vivo della contesa in atto e per comprendere come anche la finanza supporta la crescita di una filiera produttiva strategica. Nel retro di copertina una mappa a colori con le riserve di Terre Rare.

Le cooperative sociali e gli enti del terzo settore : caratteri di originalità e testimonianze sul territorio / Danilo Amadei, Katia Furlotti ; prefazione di Paolo Andrei. - Torino : Giappichelli, c2021. - x, 129 p. ; 23 cm. - ISBN 978-88-921-4245-9.
Le cooperative sociali costituiscono, nell'ambito del Terzo settore e delle Imprese Sociali, realtà di particolare interesse, per i caratteri di originalità e peculiarità che le contraddistinguono. Le cooperative sociali, infatti, sono animate da principi di mutualità, solidarietà e democraticità, tipici della dimensione cooperativa, ma anche da una distintiva vocazione a perseguire l'interesse generale della comunità e l'integrazione sociale degli individui, che ne delinea la rilevante dimensione sociale. Per realizzare tali finalità, inoltre, è imprescindibile una corretta gestione economico-finanziaria nel lungo periodo, sottolineando la rilevanza della dimensione economica e della prospettiva più prettamente aziendale nello svolgimento delle attività. Il volume intende delineare, in questo senso, un quadro di riferimento in materia di cooperazione sociale anche attraverso il racconto delle origini, dell'evoluzione e dell'attuale assetto della cooperazione sociale nel territorio parmense. Il lavoro prende le mosse dalla collaborazione istauratasi fra il Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Aziendali dell'Università di Parma e il Consorzio Solidarietà Sociale, finalizzata ad arricchire la formazione degli studenti su temi di grande attualità e complessità, attraverso la testimonianza diretta di coloro che operano quotidianamente nel mondo della cooperazione sociale e il coinvolgimento nell'esperienza dei protagonisti.

Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Cooperatives have often been viewed as organizations that are fundamentally different from conventional companies. This book redefines cooperatives as business organizations comparable to companies and examines their functional characteristics compared with companies, with the aim of enhancing their market compatibility and facilitating their integration into the market system. Kazuhiko Mikami is one of the world's leading experts on cooperative firms. In this masterful book, he examines firms controlled by consumers, workers, and suppliers, showing how they differ from capitalist firms and carefully assessing their strengths and weaknesses. The book offers historical perspectives, provides concrete examples, compares legal frameworks across countries, and employs bite-sized economic models to make theoretical points. Mikami argues convincingly that the cooperative sector would expand, and economic efficiency would improve, if cooperatives were allowed to use tradeable membership shares. Mikami is a deep thinker with an impressive scholarly range. This comprehensive overview of his research during the last two decades deserves close attention from anyone interested in the theory of economic organization.

Crossing borders, sharing burdens [Risorsa elettronica] : rethinking taxation and migration as fiscal belonging / Lotta Björklund Larsen, Lynne Oats. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan ; Palgrave Pivot, c2026. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-3-031-99394-7.
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Tax matters. It structures our societies, influences our choices, and reflects our values. Yet the meaning and impact of taxation are constantly changing in step with a world marked by climate transitions, demographic shifts, digitalisation, globalisation, and migration.This open access book addresses critical questions surrounding attitudes to tax and tax compliance through the lens of 'fiscal belonging,' demonstrating the value of qualitative approaches to tax research. It explores the lived experience of immigrants to the UK, and how feelings of belonging, exclusion, reciprocity, and obligation shape their encounters with the tax system. The book illuminates the many different facets of fiscal belonging, including the right to work and access to employment, as well as histories of colonialism and the economic history of different communities on a national scale. By foregrounding personal narratives and the complexity of social worlds, this book argues for more methodologically diverse and inclusive approaches to understanding why people do, or do not, pay tax. It will be of interest to scholars across disciplines, as well as tax professionals working in business, consultancy, and public administration.

Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Against the macro backdrop of global digital economic transformation, this book systematically reveals the transformation logic of China's manufacturing industry through the collaborative evolution of technology, institutions, and markets, with "how digital trade reconstructs the value creation system of enterprise manufacturing" as its core thread. The book is committed to three major research objectives: first, breaking through the limitations of traditional paradigms; second, analyzing institutional innovations for digital trade; third, proposing actionable strategies for global competitiveness. This book integrates institutional shifts and global value chains to propose a "policy-technology-market" synergistic evolution model, demonstrating their self-reinforcing cycle: policy guidance drives technological investment technology enhances market competitiveness market feedback optimizes policies. The book establishes a research framework encompassing "environment-mechanism-application-prospect," culminating in an analytical model of "technology penetration-institutional adaptation-global governance." This model not only addresses cutting-edge theories in the digital economy but also aligns with China's manufacturing sector in its transition from a manufacturing giant to a manufacturing powerhouse, thereby establishing a robust foundation for industrial advancement.

AI economy : economia, impresa e umano nell'era dell'intelligenza artificiale / Jacopo Paoletti ; prefazione di Stefano Quintarelli ; postfazione di Oreste Pollicino. - Milano : Angeli, c2025. - 364 p. ; 23 cm. - (Am : la prima collana di management in Italia ; 951). - ISBN 978-88-351-7274-1.
Cosa diventa l'economia nel momento in cui le decisioni vengono prese dagli umani affiancati da agenti che operano sui dati? Come diventa il consumo nel momento in cui i prodotti vengono proposti sulla base di desideri statistici? L'intelligenza artificiale sta diventando ciò che l'elettricità fu per il capitalismo industriale: un'infrastruttura invisibile che riorganizza tutto ciò che tocca. L'IA non è solo una tecnologia, ma una nuova condizione di realtà: una forza strutturale che sta riscrivendo (sempre più in profondità) gli stessi fondamenti dell'economia, dell'impresa, del consumo e dell'umano. Questo libro vuole essere la guida essenziale per provare ad esplorare questo passaggio epocale, con uno sguardo ampio, equilibrato e interrogativo e privo di paura verso il domani. L'autore ci accompagna in una riflessione interdisciplinare su come l'IA stia trasformando, oltre il ruolo dell'umano, anche i processi macro e micro economici nelle varie industries e nelle loro funzioni interne. Potere, valore, lavoro, libertà, giustizia, percezione di tempo, desiderio, possibilità, categorie che per secoli hanno orientato la nostra civiltà, vengono ora ridiscusse alla luce di nuove logiche algoritmiche. Arricchito da numerosi contributi originali di imprenditori, manager, esperti, professori e ricercatori universitari, che aggiungono il loro sguardo, questo saggio si rivolge a chi non cerca certezze preconfezionate, ma strumenti per comprendere, e forse ripensare, le coordinate di un futuro in cui umano e artificiale potranno e dovranno coesistere.

Capacity-building, entrepreneurship development and gender empowerment in Bangladesh [Risorsa elettronica] : a mixed methods research / Md. Masud Rana, Lily Kiminami. - Singapore : Springer, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (SpringerBriefs in economics, ISSN 2191-5512). - ISBN 978-981-95-5041-8.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book explores how government-sponsored programs impact the capacity building of resource-poor farming households in the Mymensingh District of Bangladesh, which are marked by poverty, gender inequality, and lack of income-earning opportunities. For this purpose, a mixed-methods research approach was used. Principal component analysis (PCA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied to the results of a questionnaire survey to evaluate capacity-building outcomes of rural farmers. Qualitative analysis such as the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM) was employed in the case studies of six local entrepreneurs, three men and three women, to evaluate the effectiveness of a common interest group (CIG) approach to overcome poverty and gender inequality. The analytical results revealed that a mixed-gender CIG consisting of male and female farmers was effective for capacity building along with group leadership, crop diversification, access to seed, and mechanized farming compared with those in a single-gender CIG or among non-CIG farmers. In addition, it was demonstrated that a CIG approach was effective for entrepreneurial development through the formation and mobilization of social capital. Access to finance, workplace culture, and institutional support were the most crucial factors for entrepreneurship development to ensure gender equality and economic empowerment. Research showed that in order to enhance the capacity of resource-poor farmers, the government should pay attention to gender diversity management to minimize existing gaps and to achieve income-generating agriculture through public-private partnerships. In other words, a gender-inclusive entrepreneurial environment is essential to facilitate socio-cultural transformation for sustainable socio-economic development in Bangladesh.

Centenary history of the agricultural economics society [Risorsa elettronica] / David Stead. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, c2026. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-3-032-16727-9.
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
The Agricultural Economics Society (AES) celebrates its centenary in 2026. This book tells the story of its history, and the people and events that have been part of that history, including Keynes, Attlee, Arthur Lewis, the 1947 Agriculture Act and Brexit. None of the other UK-level institutions created in the 1910s and 1920s to encourage studies in agricultural economics have survived. Thus the AES provides a unique lens through which to view continuity and change in the subject, and in the profile and work of its members employed in academia, government and industry. The book explores the challenges encountered by the AES's founding pioneers, and explains how their successors have sustained the Society's contribution to agricultural economics over the long run.The text draws on material from dozens of archives and interviews. It takes us through a hundred years of agricultural and applied economics including the founding of the AES, its existence during the Second World War and its expansion in the following decades. Later chapters consider other milestones and contexts in which the AES has adapted and evolved, such as the emergence of the internet. This book will be of interest to agricultural economists in the UK and beyond, and to all those interested in the development of the subject.

Changing geographies of fashion in the European semi-periphery [Risorsa elettronica] : transition towards sustainability? / Monika Murzyn-Kupisz editor. - Cham : Springer, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-3-031-89254-7.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Sustainability in fashion production and consumption is considered a major contemporary challenge and at the same time a visible trend in the fashion market. Despite a growing body of academic literature on the topic, detailed analyses have so far mainly pertained to only a selected dimension of the fashion market (design, production, retail or consumption). They have more often explored major fashion centres, brands and firms rather than independent designers, SMEs or independent fashion events and other alternative consumption means and spaces or less obvious intermediaries in the fashion market. Although the issue of sustainable fashion has been noticed in the academic discourse in Poland, it is yet to be examined bringing together the production and consumption side of the issue. Nor has the spatial dimension of fashion market transformation in Poland been analysed in detail. Taking a geographic perspective, this book fills this research gap by presenting a holistic approach to the fashion market - including design, production and consumption of fashion - considering the social, cultural and spatial dimensions of the matter and diverse stakeholders who participate in it. Providing a comprehensive analysis of long-term changes in the Polish fashion market, the book addresses several interesting issues. These include the extent to which the sustainable reorientation of the fashion market accompanies the broader processes of adaptation, restructuring and upgrading of the textile and clothing sector; how it fits into the broader logic of culturalisation of clothing production and commercialisation of design as an applied artistic genre and a part of the creative sector; and to what extent it is connected with new, alternative consumption patterns with respect to channels, places and spaces of clothing purchases and (re)use. The main premise of the book is that although it is still a relatively small part of the fashion market in Poland, sustainable fashion design, production and consumption is an increasingly important phenomenon, with significant social, economic and spatial implications. The book therefore argues that sustainable design and production constitute a promising opportunity for adaptation, restructuring and upgrading of the textile and clothing sector in the European semi-periphery. Using the metaphor of the fashion ecosystem, it also illustrates how sustainable fashion practices contribute to the creation of new links and networks within the fashion industry, alongside a more fragmented domestic production structure.

The circular economy and institutional change [Risorsa elettronica] : transformation in theory and practice / Yilmaz Kaplan. - London ; New York : Routledge, 2026. - 1 risorsa online. - (Routledge frontiers of political economy). - ISBN 978-1-003-48971-9.
Descrizione della risorsa al 4 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
The climate crisis has emerged as a consequence of the linear economic system that developed in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution. In recent years, global actors have recognised the need for institutional change from the linear economy to a more sustainable alternative: The circular economy.This book analyses the potential for transformative institutional change to a circular economy, both in theory and in practice. At the theoretical level, the book evaluates the feasibility of transitioning from a linear economy system to a circular economy by drawing on the principles of New Institutionalism. It thoroughly examines the key parameters of institutional change, focusing on the role of actors and new ideas within the institutional change process. Building upon this theoretical framework, the book then delves into the practical implementations of key actors. It first explores the role of the state and the market as crucial institutional actors, referencing the historical debate between these two entities. Additionally, the book critically assesses the agenda-setting power of influential international organisations, specifically the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, in driving a circular institutional change. Furthermore, it analyses the circular economy policies of influential global actors such as the European Union, China, Japan, and the USA. Aligned with these analyses, the book also examines the potential of a circular institutional change to bring about a paradigm shift from the prevailing industrial and consumer-centric society to an ecologically oriented society.This book is invaluable for readers interested in the circular economy, new institutionalism, the impacts of climate change, and alternative economic policy.

Corporations at climate crossroads [Risorsa elettronica] : multilevel governance, public policy, and global climate action / Lily Hsueh. - Cambridge, Massachusetts ; London : MIT press, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-0-262-38446-9.
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
How corporations and governance can act together effectively in the urgent global call for climate action.With climate risks growing, climate action facing political headwinds in many countries, and international cooperation increasingly challenged, Lily Hsueh's Corporations at Climate Crossroads illuminates how and under what conditions the world's largest corporations have taken proactive action on climate change during the years leading up to and after the Paris Agreement.Drawing on insights from economics, political science, and management, the author uncovers how corporations and their leaders are key players in a nested structure of climate change governance. Hsueh shows that corporate leaders' climate actions are shaped by bottom-up and top-down institutions and incentives involving firm, regulatory, and global governance. To navigate uncertainty, corporate responses to the climate challenge are therefore an interplay of internal firm leadership, complementary capabilities in adjacent areas, and strategic and proactive engagement with regulatory process and global governance. Sophisticated large-N statistical analyses of global businesses' climate mitigation and performance from 2011 to 2020 and illustrative company case studies substantiate the demand for, and supply of, global businesses' climate mitigation, across sectors, and in developed and developing countries.

The death of money : the coming collapse of the international monetary system / James Rickards. - New York : Portfolio/Penguin, c2017. - xxiii, 356 p. ; 22 cm. - ISBN 978-1-59184-771-7.
The international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: war, civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of the global economy. Now James Rickards, the acclaimed author of Currency Wars, shows why another collapse is rapidly approaching--and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk. The American dollar has been the global reserve currency since the end of the Second World War. If the dollar fails, the entire international monetary system will fail with it. No other currency has the deep, liquid pools of assets needed to do the job. Optimists have always said, in essence, that there's nothing to worry about--that confidence in the dollar will never truly be shaken, no matter how high our national debt or how dysfunctional our government. But in the last few years, the risks have become too big to ignore. While Washington is gridlocked and unable to make progress on our long-term problems, our biggest economic competitors--China, Russia, and the oilproducing nations of the Middle East--are doing everything possible to end U.S. monetary hegemony. The potential results: Financial warfare. Deflation. Hyperinflation. Market collapse. Chaos.

Descrizione della risorsa al 9 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book offers a compelling analysis of Malaysia's path to sustained economic growth and social stability, illuminating how the country navigated the complex challenges of industrialization, ethnic diversity, and inequality. Spanning six decades of development from the 1960s to the 2020s, the book integrates rigorous economic analysis with nuanced political insights to present a comprehensive account of Malaysia's transformation.Through detailed examination of industrial upgrading, productivity growth, and policy implementation, the book reveals how Malaysia balanced rural development with urbanization and economic expansion with ethnic harmony. Unlike many developing nations that prioritized industrialization at the expense of rural sectors, Malaysia pursued a dual-track strategy-supporting both agriculture and industry while managing labor transitions across sectors.Central to this success was Malaysia's competitive authoritarian political system, which enabled decisive policy shifts at critical junctures. The book explores how this governance model facilitated the country's transition from a primary commodity exporter to a diversified industrial economy, while actively addressing ethnic economic disparities. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in development economics, political economy, and Asian studies, this work provides unique insights into the policy choices and institutional dynamics that shaped Malaysia's development trajectory. It offers valuable lessons for other multi-ethnic middle-income countries seeking sustainable growth.

Descrizione della risorsa al 4 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Global Film Policies challenges conventional analyses of film policy as a stand-alone public policy confined within national boundaries and usually focused on supports for film production. The book argues for a more multi-faceted approach, extending beyond national boundaries and broadening its scope to recognise how other forms of policy pertain to film, including tax, labour, language and education.A team of experts in various areas of film and media studies critically analyse specific areas of film policy and engage with other public policy programmes, related concepts and/or phenomena. Each chapter brings together a general discussion of the conceptual and critical issues at stake, with specific references to particular territorial or historical contexts, institutions and policy initiatives that illuminate the more general issues. Case studies from different continents illustrate how film-related policies work with other public policies to maintain their influence not just on the film sector but also society more generally.This book will be an important resource for scholars and students studying global film policy in the areas of film, media or creative industries and business.

L'innovazione circolare del made in Italy [Risorsa elettronica] / Fausto Cammarano, Raffaella Manzini. - Castellanza : Università Carlo Cattaneo - LIUC, 2026. - 1 risorsa online. - (Università Cattaneo research reports ; 18).
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Il presente research report si pone in continuità con il precedente lavoro "L'ecosistema dell'economia circolare: casi d'impresa tra pratica e teoria" (Cammarano et al., 2025), proponendo un approfondimento specifico sul tema dell'innovazione circolare. L'obiettivo è analizzare gli elementi dell'innovazione circolare di prodotto e di processo di due casi di studio del Made in Italy. Il report esamina due realtà eterogenee, accomunate dall'introduzione di soluzioni circolari applicate a prodotti e processi, ma caratterizzate da differenti modalità di implementazione e configurazioni organizzative. Rifò, operante nel settore tessile, integra la circolarità all'interno di un modello manifatturiero fondato sul riciclo dei materiali, sul concetto di filiera corta e sulla riprogettazione dei processi produttivi e post-consumo. Alisea, invece, opera come soggetto abilitante e orchestratore di ecosistemi circolari, costruendo reti di open innovation e meccanismi di simbiosi industriale orientati alla valorizzazione degli scarti. L'analisi mostra come l'innovazione circolare emerga non come un insieme di interventi isolati, ma come il risultato di una progettazione sistemica che combina innovazioni di prodotto e di processo con innovazioni di natura modulare e architetturale, ridefinendo le relazioni tra attori, flussi e fasi del ciclo di vita. Nel complesso, il lavoro contribuisce ad ampliare il quadro interpretativo dell'economia circolare applicata, mostrando come l'innovazione circolare consenta di tradurre i principi teorici in soluzioni pratiche implementate in differenti contesti produttivi.

Intangible capital investment and economic growth [Risorsa elettronica] : science for science, technology and innovation policy / Masahiro Kuroda editor. - Singapore : Springer, c2026. - 1 risorsa online. - (Translational systems sciences / editors-in-chief Kyoichi Kijima, Hiroshi Deguchi ; v. 45). - ISBN 978-981-96-7675-0.
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book explores the concept of "Science for REdesigning Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (SciREX)" as those policies are conducted in a scientific manner. It is the first attempt to measure the effects of science and technology policies and as well as industrial policies on total factor productivity (TFP). The evolution of science and technology in the twentieth century, known as Big Science, led to the realization of an economic structure of mass production and consumption through the expansion of tangible fixed assets. However, since the latter half of the twentieth century, the trend has shifted toward intangible intellectual assets, such as research and development and information processing, resulting in a significant structural change in the economy and society. The book scientifically investigates the effects of this intangible fixed asset investment on the economic structure, evaluates the direction of structural change, and determines the merits and demerits ofits policies based on the state of science and society in the trans-scientific era. To understand the impact of scientific knowledge and information on the economy and society, the book measures the volume of services of intellectual and information assets as intangible fixed assets and their spillover effects among industrial sectors. By measuring the TFP growth rate of industries, the economic spillover effects of intangible fixed asset outcomes are evaluated to measure the impact of science and technology and industrial policy as a scientific approach to science and technology policy.

Overtourism e nuovi equilibri del turismo contemporaneo [Risorsa elettronica] : una prospettiva multidisciplinare / a cura di Riccardo Spinelli, Andrea Zanini. - Milano : Angeli, 2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Economia. Ricerche). - ISBN 978-88-351-8859-9.
Descrizione della risorsa all'11 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Il fenomeno dell'overtourism costituisce una delle criticità più evidenti del turismo contemporaneo. Ben oltre il semplice eccesso di visitatori, il termine designa un insieme di tensioni economiche, sociali, culturali e ambientali che mettono in discussione la sostenibilità stessa dei modelli di sviluppo turistico.Il volume propone un approccio multidisciplinare all'overtourism, intrecciando prospettive provenienti dal diritto, dall'economia, dalla geografia, dalla psicologia, dalla storia. I contributi raccolti ne esplorano le cause e le manifestazioni, analizzano le politiche pubbliche e le pratiche di governance adottate nelle destinazioni più esposte e riflettono su possibili percorsi di transizione verso un turismo più equo, consapevole e sostenibile. Il libro nasce dal Workshop Did they decide wrong? Il ruolo delle politiche pubbliche nei processi di sviluppo turistico locale (Università di Genova, 31 gennaio 2025), organizzato nell'ambito del Progetto PRIN 2022 What went wrong? A retrospective analysis of destination policies in overtouristed hotspots. Attraverso analisi teoriche e riflessioni di taglio applicativo, il volume offre una lettura articolata e critica di uno dei temi al centro del dibattito, e invita a ripensare il turismo come spazio di responsabilità condivisa e come occasione per immaginare nuove forme di abitare e di muoversi nel mondo.

Nel 2015 Andrea Illy scopre che il 50% delle terre coltivabili a caffè non lo saranno più entro il 2050 a causa dei cambiamenti climatici. È l'inizio di un viaggio che lo porterà a ripensare completamente il rapporto tra business e natura, tra crescita e benessere. In questo libro-mappa, Illy racconta la trasformazione possibile dal paradigma estrattivo - che da Cartesio e Bacone domina l'economia occidentale - a un modello rigenerativo che mette al centro la persona come custode del capitale naturale. Attraverso diciotto capitoli e decine di interviste con i pionieri della rigenerazione, esplora le frontiere di una rivoluzione già in corso. Non si tratta di utopia ambientalista. Illy documenta con precisione scientifica come le aziende che adottano pratiche rigenerative stiano superando sistematicamente quelle tradizionali: le fonti di energia rinnovabile costano ormai meno dei combustibili fossili, le città progettate per le persone creano a cascata benefici per tutta la società. La domanda a cui cerca di rispondere l'autore non è se la trasformazione sia possibile ma cosa dobbiamo fare per renderla tangibile per tutti.

Supervisor : i professionisti dell'AI : guida pratica con assistente AI per medici, psicologi, infermieri, commercialisti, consulenti del lavoro, avvocati, notai, architetti, giornalisti, esperti di presentazioni, audio e video / Filippo Poletti ; prefazione di Roberto Navigli ; postfazione di Mattia Pedroncelli. - Milano : Guerini e associati, 2025. - 370 p. ; 23 cm. - (Biblioteca contemporanea). - ISBN 978-88-6250-974-9.
In che modo medici, psicologi, infermieri, commercialisti, consulenti del lavoro, avvocati, notai, architetti, giornalisti ed esperti di audio e video possono integrare l'intelligenza artificiale nella propria attività professionale? Quali sono i punti di forza, le debolezze, le minacce e le opportunità che l'AI porta negli studi professionali? A queste domande risponde un percorso in due parti: la prima esplora la nuova figura del supervisore di AI, la reingegnerizzazione delle attività, le sfide dell'integrazione tra intelligenza naturale e artificiale e le competenze richieste ai professionisti del futuro. La seconda mostra l'AI in azione, con analisi SWOT condotte da professionisti, interviste ai presidenti degli Ordini e esempi concreti di applicativi già in uso. Un progetto che dà il "buon esempio" nell'editoria anche nel modo in cui si presenta: le lettrici e i lettori possono interagire con un assistente AI dedicato, accessibile tramite QR code nella prima pagina, per porre domande, scritte o vocali, sui temi trattati. Oltre 800.000 caratteri e più di 50 contributi offrono una strumentazione completa per affrontare la trasformazione che l'intelligenza artificiale sta portando negli studi professionali. Come scrive nella prefazione Roberto Navigli, professore ordinario di Intelligenza Artificiale all'Università La Sapienza di Roma e ideatore del Large Language Model italiano Minerva: "Questo libro rappresenta un passo fondamentale affinché l'AI non diventi un fine, ma uno strumento al servizio delle nostre professioni e, soprattutto, della nostra società".

Technology and work in services [Risorsa elettronica] : vulnerable workers under automation and digitalisation / Valeria Cirillo, Matteo Rinaldini, Maria Enrica Virgillito editors. - Cham : Palgrave Pivot ; Palgrave Macmillan, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-3-031-88149-7.
Descrizione della risorsa al 31 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
Automation in industrial sectors is already a well-developed topic in management, economics, and sociology literature. By contrast, this short contributed volume sheds new lights on the process of automation in the service sector, by means of a workplace case-study approach. It investigates three essential sectors largely populated by a vulnerable workforce composition, namely logistics, cleaning and healthcare, and assesses the extent to which processes of automation introduced by managerial decisions entail labour expulsion and human substitution. The result of the research shows that the most low-valued workers are among the least automatable, because of the inherent complexity of their activities. Leveraging on this, the book argues the need to reconsider the essentiality of labour as determinant of its value. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of management, economics and sociology with an interest in labour, industrial relations, innovation and decent work and employment.

Tourism and economic development [Risorsa elettronica] : southern europe through the 20th century / edited by Patrizia Battilani, Carlos Larrinaga and Donatella Strangio. - London ; New York : Routledge, 2026. - 1 risorsa online. - (Routledge explorations in economic history / edited by Lars Magnusson). - ISBN 978-1-032-62899-8.
Descrizione della risorsa al 4 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
By the end of the 19th century, there were already some countries in southern Europe whose economies benefitted from the arrival of tourists. But it was during the 20th century, and particularly after the Second World War, that the phenomenon of mass tourism arrived and dramatically impacted the economies of southern Europe.This edited volume analyses when, how, and why tourism gained an important role in the economy and social life of Southern Europe. It contributes to a reassessment of mass tourism focusing on two main dimensions: first, the impact on the economic development of the different southern European countries and second, the building of a new sociality focusing on the rituals and values of middle and the working class. This book adopts a comparative approach that opens with a comparison of European countries in terms of international market share and tourist products. The other chapters focus on national case studies that allow the reader to better understand not only the similarities and differences between some countries and others, but also the phenomenon as a whole. Since tourism is a transnational phenomenon, this book makes an important contribution to not only the study of tourism development and its economy but also social, impact in Southern Europe.The book will be of great interest to readers of economic history, business history, tourism history, and European history more broadly.

L'economia è politica / Clara E. Mattei. - Milano : Fuori scena, 2023. - 186 p. ; 21 cm. - ISBN 979-12-225-0000-3.
Questo libro ribalta il racconto consueto dell'economia da cui siamo intossicati e rivela, ripercorrendo una lunga storia che dal fascismo arriva fino ai giorni nostri, quanta e che politica si nasconde dietro le scelte economiche. Clara Mattei è una giovane economista italiana che da anni vive e lavora a New York, dove insegna alla prestigiosa New School for Social Research. Nel 2022 ha scritto un libro in lingua inglese (The Capital Order), inserito dal "Financial Times" tra le dieci pubblicazioni più influenti dell'anno a tema economico. La sua lettura recupera e rilancia con forza la lezione dei grandi classici, da Smith a Ricardo a Marx, attaccando in modo dirompente quella naturalizzazione dell'economia che ci porta a considerare quest'ultima come una scienza esatta, rigorosa, pura, definita da modelli matematici rispetto ai quali non possiamo fare nulla, solo adattarci. Non per niente ci hanno insegnato che il nostro sistema economico rappresenta il migliore dei mondi possibili, il modo più eccezionale di produrre ricchezza e benessere. I tempi sono ormai maturi per smascherare le falsità insite in questa visione. Questo libro, accompagnato dai commenti di tre importanti economisti internazionali - Thomas Piketty, Branko Milanović e Adam Tooze - introduce una nuova prospettiva emancipatrice, capace di rivelare la trama nascosta dietro le questioni economiche centrali nella discussione pubblica: dall'austerità all'inflazione, dalla disoccupazione alla crescita, dalla concorrenza al debito al rapporto tra Stato e mercato, e moltissimo altro. È illuminante leggere, con la precisione e l'incisività di cui l'autrice è capace, come il potere politico abbia costruito nel tempo un sistema profondamente antidemocratico, destinato scientemente ad arricchire pochi privilegiati, impoverendo per converso la maggioranza della popolazione e rendendo i cittadini sempre più sudditi. La conoscenza è il primo passo per immaginare un mondo diverso, e per muoversi affinché esso diventi possibile.

Universal capital endowment at birth in Italy [Risorsa elettronica] : a life-cycle financial infrastructure for social stability and intergenerational cohesion / Massimo Armanini. - Castellanza : Università Carlo Cattaneo - LIUC, 2026. - 1 risorsa online. - (Università Cattaneo working papers, ISSN 2532-554X ; 20).
Descrizione della risorsa al 9 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This paper proposes a universal capital endowment granted at birth, financed through a small structural levy on existing financial capital and managed as a segregated public investment fund. Each newborn receives an initial endowment, invested immediately in a globally diversified equity portfolio and allowed to compound over time. Withdrawals are permitted only at predefined life stages, within a life-cycle stabilization framework. The proposal is not designed as a redistributive policy aimed at reducing wealth inequality per se, but rather as a systemic mechanism to provide all citizens with an initial asset base, enhancing economic resilience, intergenerational cohesion, and long-term social stability.

Value 2024 : la misurazione del valore nell'economia globale-locale / a cura di Giovanni Paolo Crespi e Chiara Gigliarano ; prefazione di Federico Visconti. - Milano : Guerini next, 2026. - 123 p. ; 23 cm. - (Università Cattaneo libri ; 33). - ISBN 978-88-6896-636-2.
In un panorama economico sempre più frammentato e complesso, come si definisce e come si misura oggi il valore? Il volume raccoglie contributi scientifici e riflessioni maturate dal dialogo tra il mondo accademico, l'ISTAT e le istituzioni, mettendo in luce la duplice dimensione della crescita: quella globale, legata alle grandi dinamiche dei mercati, e quella locale, profondamente radicata nei territori. Ne emerge una lettura integrata della ricchezza delle nazioni come fenomeno complesso e multidimensionale. La ricchezza non si esaurisce nei flussi economici correnti, ma prende forma nella capacità di governare risorse strategiche, costruire reti produttive resilienti, accumulare patrimonio nel tempo e adattarsi a un contesto globale in continuo mutamento. Il volume rafforza così la consapevolezza che ricchezza, competitività e resilienza delle economie dipendono da un intreccio sempre più stretto tra risorse materiali, strutture produttive, relazioni internazionali, capacità di accumulazione e qualità delle reti d'impresa.

AI act e legge nazionale sull'intelligenza artificiale : regolamento (UE) 2024/1689 e legge n. 132/2025 : commentario / Pierluigi Perri, Giuseppe Vaciago, Giovanni Ziccardi (a cura di) ; con il coordinamento di Alessia Bottazzoa. - Milano : Lefebvre Giuffrè, c2026. - lx, 1253 p. ; 25 cm. - ISBN 978-88-28-86637-4.
Il volume commenta articolo per articolo il Regolamento (UE) 2024/1689 (AI Act) e la legge n. 132/2025, prima norma italiana in materia di intelligenza artificiale, svolgendo una funzione complementare: traduce i principi europei in strumenti operativi di politica pubblica, rafforza il coordinamento istituzionale, promuove la ricerca e il capitale umano, definisce priorità di investimento e di sicurezza. La prima parte del Commentario è dedicata al Regolamento (UE) 2024/1689 e tratta le singole disposizioni normative: muovendo dai principi generali, alla tutela dei diritti fondamentali, alla proporzionalità e trasparenza come criteri regolatori; alla governance del rischio, alla classificazione dei sistemi di intelligenza artificiale, alle procedure di valutazione e alle norme tecniche; fino ai modelli di intelligenza artificiale per finalità generali: dai requisiti di documentazione e trasparenza ai poteri dell'AI Office e al coordinamento con le autorità nazionali, sino alle sanzioni. La seconda parte è dedicata al commento della legge 23 settembre 2025, n. 132, entrata in vigore il 10 ottobre 2025, esplorando la strategia italiana per l'intelligenza artificiale e le ricadute sul diritto interno, soprattutto in ambito civile e penale. L'opera si pone come una guida completa per i professionisti fornendo una lettura analitica delle norme ed evidenziando la coerenza interna del sistema al fine di rendere intelligibile la logica che unisce definizioni, obblighi, istituzioni e garanzie.

I contratti fiduciari riservati / Nuccia Parodi. - Torino : Giappichelli, c2024. - x, 320 p. ; 24 cm. - (Studi di ditto privato / Università degli studi di Milano, Facoltà di giurisprudenza, Dipartimento di diritto privato e storia del diritto ; direttore della collana Maria Teresa Carinci ; 180). - ISBN 979-12-211-0711-1.
Sulla fiducia e sui contratti fiduciari si è scritto molto in Italia, con approfondimenti e dibattiti già alla fine dell'Ottocento e nei primi anni del Novecento, seguendo le impostazioni prevalentemente negative ereditate dal sistema francese, ma considerando con attenzione anche gli importanti contributi positivi della pandettistica e del sistema tedesco, nella sua prima fase di evoluzione. Il riferimento al sistema tedesco, che ha certamente influenzato in modo notevole le impostazioni della nostra dottrina sui negozi fiduciari, ha perso tuttavia decisamente rilievo intorno agli anni Trenta: l'evoluzione successiva della dottrina e della giurisprudenza, che è stata importante in entrambi i Paesi, non è stata presa in considerazione in modo adeguato in Italia, anche se un esame più attento poteva essere certamente utile per riconsiderare i problemi che già, negli anni Trenta, non risultavano definiti in modo chiaro ed efficiente. È probabile che la scarsa attenzione alla prassi da parte della dottrina e l'evoluzione in quegli anni di impostazioni più interessate ad una riconsiderazione "scientifica" (su basi logico-giuridiche, con particolare attenzione alla messa a punto del nuovo Codice civile) abbia confinato in un'area di scarso interesse i problemi relativi al negozio fiduciario, considerati più legati alla prassi operativa.

Il contratto di affidamento fiduciario : tra autonomia privata e tutela dei terzi / Rosina Elsa De Rosa. - Torino : Giappichelli, c2025. - ix, 185 p. ; 24cm. - ISBN 979-12-211-1413-3.
Destinato a studenti, studiosi e professionisti del diritto civile, il volume è una monografia scientifica dedicata al contratto di affidamento fiduciario, figura emergente nel panorama giuridico italiano. Collocato nell'ambito del diritto privato, il manuale analizza le differenze rispetto al negozio fiduciario tradizionale, proponendo una ricostruzione teorica innovativa e coerente con i principi della separazione patrimoniale, della pubblicità e della tutela del programma fiduciario. Punto di forza della monografia sono il confronto con i modelli esteri (Francia, San Marino) e l'analisi della alla L. 112/2016 ("dopo di noi"), che riconosce al contratto di affidamento fiduciario una funzione analoga a trust e vincoli di destinazione, pur in assenza di una disciplina normativa specifica.

Fiscalità internazionale e dei gruppi / a cura di Diego Avolio ; presentazione di Alberto Trabucchi ; con i contributi di F. Andreoli ... [et al.]. - 2. ed. - Milano : Lefebvre Giuffrè, c2026. - xlii, 1928 p. ; 25 cm. - ISBN 978-88-28-87059-3.
Sin dalla sua prima edizione, "Fiscalità internazionale e dei gruppi" si è dimostrato essere un manuale unico nel suo genere, perché in grado di offrire un'analisi approfondita di tutti i più importanti temi di fiscalità internazionale riguardanti i gruppi di impresa che operano in ambito "cross-border". Questo libro ha, infatti, il pregio di garantire una trattazione accurata ed esaustiva dei vari argomenti affrontati. Questa nuova edizione, pur vedendo la luce dopo appena cinque anni dalla prima, non rappresenta un mero "aggiornamento" della precedente; scorrendo le pagine, infatti, si incontrano temi nuovi, come la "Global minimum tax", la "DAC 7", il "reshoring", la nuova disciplina sulle "CFC" e molti altri ancora, tenuto conto delle tante novità introdotte dal D.Lgs. n. 209/2023 recante il modulo di "Attuazione della riforma fiscale in materia di fiscalità internazionale". La selezione degli argomenti e degli Autori consente di avere una panoramica completa dei principali temi di fiscalità internazionale, senza trascurare quelli IVA e doganali, oltre ovviamente a quelli delle imposte sui redditi e dell'applicazione delle Direttive e dei Trattati contro le doppie imposizioni.

Carbon accounting for the sustainable transition [Risorsa elettronica] : accountability, compliance, and climate change / Assunta Di Vaio and Tayyab Ali. - London ; New York : Routledge, 2026. - 1 risorsa online. - (Routledge studies in accounting). - ISBN 978-1-003-66023-1.
Descrizione della risorsa al 4 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
With the window to keep the 1.5-degree goal alive rapidly closing, it is now more crucial than ever for organizations to intensify the scope and pace of their actions. This book focuses on the existing gaps in the sustainability accounting research field for carbon matter. It addresses the decarbonization practices adopted by firms to achieve the sustainability transition, including the implementation of new technologies and sustainable practices, analyzing their impact from a socioeconomic and environmental perspective. This book provides a rigorous systematization of scientific literature and grey literature concerning the measurement and reporting systems for the carbon processes that firms are adopting to mitigate climate change.The evolving regulatory landscape and the increasing institutional pressures underscore the responsibility of each actor, including firms, in making a concrete contribution to a sustainable future. The call for the actions to be taken aligns with the need for a solid framework to guide efforts toward achieving goals related to people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. These efforts align with the United Nations 2030 Agenda, reflecting a global commitment to sustainable development across environmental and social dimensions.Positioning firms as pivotal agents in climate mitigation, the book highlights the growing importance of integrating artificial intelligence into sustainability accounting and disclosure processes. It advances timely questions about how artificial intelligence can support ethical, transparent, and effective reporting while helping organizations strike a balance between profitability and environmental stewardship, an issue that remains central to current debates among scholars, practitioners, and corporate consultancy firms.

Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
The threat of climate change increases with each passing moment, and it's time for economists, policymakers, and climate scientists to work together to address this. In this Palgrave Pivot, political economist Robin Hahnel offers useful ways to make a difference when it comes to climate policy. The book begins by making clear that not enough is being done to slow the impact of climate change. Hahnel breaks down what is being done in some states and cities in the US and provides expert insights into important national-level initiatives that began under the Biden - Harris Administration. Chapters explore international climate negotiations - the good, the bad, and the ugly - offering a realistic approach to policies that impact our environment. The book ends with a nod to action, optimism, and strength. Hahnel explains not just whether, but also why, there is still reason to push for international climate action before it is too late. Written for individuals working within and interested in policy, climate, and political economy, the book will inspire creative responses to climate change.

Comparison methods in control [Risorsa elettronica] / George Bitsoris. - Cham : Springer, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Communications and control engineering / series editor Alberto Isidori ... [et al.], ISSN 2197-7119). - ISBN 978-3-031-76220-8.
Descrizione della risorsa al 3 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book presents the theoretical foundations of the comparison approach and demonstrates how this method can be used for the development of techniques for the analysis and design of control systems in the state-space domain. It provides a framework for using the comparison approach to solve fundamental analysis and design problems of control systems, including invariance and contractivity, stability analysis and constrained control. Within this framework, the book shows the reader that the invariance of sets represented by sublevel subsets, the control-invariant regions, the stability properties and the design of constrained controllers for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems can be investigated using comparison systems. The dual approach of analysis and design, based on the representation of state-space regions in terms of a number of generators and a generating function, is developed. Polyhedral invariant sets, polyhedral control invariance, stability analysis using polyhedral Lyapunov functions and constrained control under linear constraints are also investigated. Comparison Methods in Control begins with an introduction and discusses stability, Lyapunov theory, and representation of connected sets. The book progresses through comparison in different contexts, such as comparison and invariance, comparison and stability, dual comparison systems and control invariance.

In this work, a structured methodology and a vector-based process indicator are developed to evaluate value creation within production processes on construction sites. For empirical evaluation, Hendrik Jonitz conducts extensive field experiments on two different construction sites as well as within a precast concrete plant. In this context, positional data for materials and personnel, as well as operational data from construction cranes, are used for the value creation analysis of 64 precast assembly processes and 54 intralogistics processes. The results form a comprehensive knowledge base on value creation in the context of production processes on construction sites and thus provide practical and research-relevant starting points for the optimization of these processes.

Descrizione della risorsa al 9 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
L'industria spaziale italiana riveste un ruolo chiave nella Space Economy europea e globale grazie a una filiera altamente qualificata e diffusa su tutto il territorio Nazionale, in grado di coprire i quattro domini chiave: Accesso allo Spazio, Osservazione della Terra, Navigazione Satellitare e Comunicazioni Satellitari. L'obiettivo di questo studio è analizzare l'evoluzione dell'attività innovativa, sia in termini complessivi sia con un focus su ciascun dominio, degli attori italiani inclusi nel Catalogue Space Economy Italia, attraverso l'analisi dei brevetti depositati tra il 2000 e il 2022. I risultati mostrano una crescita complessiva dell'attività brevettuale del 91% tra il periodo 2000-11 e il 2012-22, superiore alla media globale, con un contributo particolarmente rilevante da parte del dominio dell'Accesso allo Spazio (+348%). Le principali aree tecnologiche riguardano i veicoli spaziali, le comunicazioni, la meccanica, la sensoristica e i componenti elettrici, con una crescente diffusione di tecnologie a carattere cross-dominio. Si osserva inoltre un rafforzamento della capacità innovativa nei settori della Navigazione Satellitare e delle Comunicazioni Satellitari, a fronte di un calo relativo nei settori dell'Accesso allo Spazio e dell'Osservazione della Terra. Il panorama italiano è caratterizzato non solo dal ruolo predominante di grandi aziende, in particolare Leonardo S.p.A. e Thales Alenia Space Italia S.p.A., quest'ultima con un tasso di crescita del +550% nel numero di brevetti depositati tra il periodo 2000-11 e il 2012-22, ma anche dall'emergere, nel periodo 2012-22, di nuovi attori, incluse start-up e imprese emergenti. Ciò evidenzia un ecosistema in continua evoluzione, sempre più dinamico, diversificato e competitivo.

Nella prima parte, riguardante le scritture contabili, sono illustrati i principi e i concetti della contabilità, intesa come "linguaggio aziendale": il metodo della partita doppia, i processi contabili necessari per la formazione del bilancio d'esercizio, la predisposizione del bilancio secondo gli schemi richiesti dal Codice Civile. La seconda parte, relativa alla determinazione dei valori di bilancio, è dedicata alle problematiche valutative - secondo la normativa e i principi contabili italiani e, per differenza, secondo i principi contabili internazionali (IAS/IFRS) - delle più significative voci (immobilizzazioni materiali, immateriali, finanziarie, rimanenze e fondi), oltre che all'esame dei principi e delle regole fondamentali per il calcolo del reddito imponibile delle società di capitali. La terza parte, infine, si focalizza sulle tecniche comunemente utilizzate per la lettura e l'interpretazione del bilancio: le riclassificazioni, la costruzione degli indici del rendiconto finanziario, le analisi costi-volumi-risultati e le analisi di sensitività, la misurazione del valore economico creato dall'impresa.

Questo potrebbe davvero essere l'ultimo libro di strategia aziendale scritto da un essere umano. Intende riflettere sul vero nodo dell'intelligenza artificiale nelle organizzazioni: il passaggio da promessa tecnologica a strumento di crescita e di ridefinizione strategica per l'impresa AI first. StrategIA è una guida per chi deve prendere decisioni sull'IA senza essere vittima di facili entusiasmi o inutili paure, per comprendere il fenomeno, oltre le buzzword, e senza sacrificare la semplicità sull'altare del tecnicismo. L'autrice propone una tipologia di dieci archetipi di maturità aziendale - dallo Struzzo che nega la realtà al Visionario che plasma il futuro - come strumento interpretativo per comprendere i diversi stadi di evoluzione delle organizzazioni. Presenta inoltre un framework articolato in tre orizzonti, che vanno da AI ready ad AI at scale fino ad AI first, concepito per guidare in modo ordinato il processo di trasformazione. Vengono delineati gli elementi costitutivi di un'intelligenza artificiale aziendale realmente efficace e sono esaminati numerosi casi d'uso, distinti per funzione e settore, corredati da metriche di successo utili a valutarne l'impatto. Uno strumento per interpretare l'intelligenza artificiale non soltanto come risorsa tecnica, ma come principio trasformativo capace di ridisegnare la strategia e l'identità stessa dell'impresa.

Descrizione della risorsa al 31 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
The COVID pandemic forced most workers to shift from the work office to the home office. As we navigate this new normal, organizations must decide on their post-pandemic workplace strategy: office-forward, remote-first, or hybrid. Meanwhile, employees have also developed their preference, whether working from home, the office, or a combination of both. This book helps leaders to align their workplace strategy with employee preferences. It helps them to understand the different types of employees they have and how to engage employees whose work preferences may or may not align with that of the organization.Through in-depth interviews with both employees and executives, the authors identify nine distinct employee personas and present findings about the personas' demographics, specific behaviors, attitudes, preferences, and motivations. They then offer practical advice on how organizations can leverage these personas to support their chosen workplace strategy.Whether you are looking to identify which employee personas fit best within your company, understand the personas on your team, explore how different personas interact, or assess the costs of misalignment, this book is an essential resource on balancing organizational strategy and employee well-being.

L'articolo 2086 del codice civile è divenuto il punto di svolta del diritto d'impresa contemporaneo. Da norma apparentemente statica, è oggi il fulcro di una visione che intreccia responsabilità giuridica, sostenibilità organizzativa e prevenzione della crisi. Il volume ne ricostruisce l'evoluzione, offrendo un itinerario ragionato tra i profili civilistici e penalistici, le implicazioni aziendalistiche e i nuovi equilibri nella gestione delle imprese.L'analisi si estende alla dimensione dinamica della crisi, osservata come banco di prova dell'adeguatezza degli assetti e del ruolo attivo degli organi societari. Un'attenzione particolare è riservata ai rapporti con gli istituti di credito, protagonisti di un nuovo dialogo basato sulla trasparenza organizzativa e sulla misurabilità del rischio.Il volume analizza anche la UNI/PDR 167:2025, prassi di riferimento che traduce in criteri concreti l'obbligo di dotarsi di assetti adeguati, ponendosi come ponte tra diritto, economia e governance. Chiude l'opera uno sguardo al terzo settore, dove i principi dell'articolo 2086 si declinano in chiave di sostenibilità, fiducia e responsabilità collettiva.Un testo che unisce metodo, attualità e visione, per comprendere come la norma sul governo dell'impresa stia ridefinendo i confini stessi della buona amministrazione dell'impresa.

Descrizione della risorsa al 10 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
The enduring legacy of colonialism continues to shape organisational culture, influencing workplace dynamics, employee experiences, and the overall work environment. Addressing this requires moving beyond perspectives shaped by historical power imbalances and colonial legacies, which can limit creativity, innovation, and understanding in a globalised context. This contributed volume is a timely exploration of how colonial legacies persist in management practices, diversity paradigms, and workplace dynamics, and how they might be transformed. The chapters in this volume explore multiple dimensions of decolonisation within organisational contexts. This includes exploring how historical colonial ideologies persist within management systems and organisational cultures, critiquing existing paradigms and laying a foundation for reimagining organisational frameworks through decolonial lenses. Indigenous and context-specific perspectives that prioritise equity and representation are used to interrogate the notion of diversity in workplaces, arguing that conventional approaches often reinforce neo-colonial practices rather than fostering genuine inclusivity. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of organisation studies, colonialism in business and HRM. Olatunji David Adekoya is a Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Business School, Sheffield Hallam University, UK. His research covers broad areas of management studies, organisational behaviour and human resource management.

Entrepreneurship and reflexivity [Risorsa elettronica] : critical visions from the global south / edited by Oscar Javier Montiel Méndez ...

This is a great edited book on entrepreneurship and reflexivity that takes a novel and original approach to developing new theory and practice on the global south. Each chapter takes a different perspective about how reflexivity is evident in entrepreneurial thinking. I highly recommend this book." Vanessa Ratten, La Trobe University, Australia This book focuses on reflexivity as applied to entrepreneurship in the countries of the Global South. Specifically, reflexivity represents a sociological notion designed to explain the structures of human beliefs; however, its usefulness in business and entrepreneurial frameworks is the gap that must be filled. The text considers the fact that entrepreneurs in the Global South benefit from distinctive and diverse institutional peculiarities, in contrast to the nations of the Northern Hemisphere. Strongly influenced by historical, political, cultural, and economic factors, these factors have historical roots manifested in the role of government, the collaboration between companies and universities, the development of cultural heritage, and ethical values. In providing an overview of entrepreneurship that is divergent from the traditional Western approaches, this work offers new, more holistic perspectives that consider subjective, contextual, and social factors to understand the complexity inherent to entrepreneurship to analyze the realities of the Global South, therefore expanding the knowledge and opportunities that lie ahead. It will generate debate among researchers about how reflexivity can be effectively incorporated into the region's entrepreneurial endeavors and public policies to optimize its social and economic contributions.

Our organizations are stuck. We talk about agility but find ourselves bogged down in bureaucracy. We aspire to innovate but run into systems built to prevent mistakes, not spark breakthroughs. We need to learn and adapt, but we're operating with an outdated playbook built for efficiency and control. And our attempts to fix all this-by pouring trillions into huge, top-down transformations-make the problems worse.But there is a better way: Building an Octopus Organization.One of nature's most intelligent and curious creatures, the octopus is everything your organization needs to be: smart, endlessly adaptable, and highly resilient. Its eight tentacles work in concert, but each can also think for itself. This book shows how to achieve the same balance of cohesion and autonomy and to guide your organization toward a living, breathing system-one that learns, adapts, and thrives by tapping into the distributed intelligence of its people.Drawing on their experience at companies such as Amazon and McDonald's and work with hundreds of global companies, AWS executives Phil Le-Brun and Jana Werner show you how to break away from the broken model of transformation and embrace continuous change. They share thirty-six "antipatterns"-conditioned habits-that keep us stuck and, in their place, provide "levers" that create meaningful improvement in months, not years.The Octopus Organization is your guide to moving beyond rigid structures and nurturing the living, adaptable organization you aspire to create, and be a part of.

The power trap [Risorsa elettronica] : how leadership changes people, and what to do about it / Nik Kinley. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-3-031-90682-4.
Descrizione della risorsa al GG mese AAAA. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
We have an entirely messed-up relationship with power. It is something that almost everyone wants, that promises much and can help us achieve great things. Yet power isn't something we openly talk about or understand, and that's a problem. While power is an essential part of every leadership role, it is also a difficult and sometimes toxic partner that changes everyone who holds it. And often, in ways that make being a good leader much harder.Approached carefully, however, the worst of power's negative effects can be avoided and balanced by its positives. This book shows you how. It reveals what power does to people, and how it both affects them as leaders and the people they lead. And it shows how, in turn, leaders can affect the positions of power they hold, too.Incorporating the latest neuroscience, the book offers clear lessons for how to successfully manage power. For leaders, it provides practical advice on how to survive having power, avoiding its worst effects. For organisations and institutions, it is about how to ensure that the people who have power are equipped and supported to thrive with it. And for us all, as people who choose and follow leaders, it is about how we can identify those most at risk of falling to power's dark side.Ultimately, this book provides a plan for how we can have a healthier relationship with power, so that as individuals we can be better leaders, and as organisations and societies we can be better led

Samuel Doria Medina's management trajectory: a clue to the Mintzberg-Ansoff-Goold polemic [Risorsa elettronica] : a longitudinal analysis of competitive and corporate strategies / Kimio Kase, Flavio Escóbar, Armando Gumucio. - Singapore : Springer, c2026. - 1 risorsa online. - ISBN 978-981-95-3094-6.
Descrizione della risorsa al 6 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
An outstanding feature of this book is that it offers a deep insight into the working of a strategy direction-setting by a visionary CEO supported by the implementational process of the corporate centre staff. This insight sheds light on the centre's value-creation process, which includes core competence, sense-making, parenting roles, and strategic management styles as well as the organisational and implementational design for both divisional and multi-business corporations. Multiple survey interviews with the CEO and his staff as well as industry specialists and experts from multiple fields and policy incumbents, a qustionnaire survey with the stake holding members, a bibliographical survey, and a document search were carried out with a view to deductive/inductive inferences and hypothesis/construct-creation/verification purposes. The analysis here demonstrates, first, that Bowlby's attachment theory, sense-making, and conviction narrative clarify the personality traits underpinning managerial stability; and, second, that Max Joseph's trading asset logic can nicely combine with core competence theory as a binding logic of multi-business practices. It empirically verifies the dictum that excellent though daring strategy must be grounded in solid administrative and financial implementational realities. The book provides a framework for future organisational design including management control tools as it creates a new understanding of business and corporate strategies.

Descrizione della risorsa al 31 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book is a practical guide for organizations ready to develop and implement relational contracts and want to prepare thoroughly to ensure a successful journey. While many resources support relational contracting, few address the red flags to avoid along the way. This book fills that gap by identifying potential challenges and providing actionable guidance to address them.

Each phase is illustrated with diverse case studies that demonstrate the consequences of overlooked issues and how they were resolved. These case studies include red, yellow, and green flags, each serving as critical signals to guide teams and ensure smooth progress. Readers are encouraged to engage actively by solving test cases in each phase, with feedback provided on solution impacts. Additionally, the book offers practical tools to support preparation and management throughout the relational contracting process. Whether addressing direct or indirect business needs, this book equips readers with the insights and tools necessary to unlock the full potential of relational contracts. Sibrecht Diender, Founder of Yellow Everest, is a seasoned expert in relational contracting with nearly 20 years of experience in procurement and supply chain.

In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, businesses face environmental, social, and economic challenges that demand thoughtful reflection and a shift in operational approaches. Today, focusing solely on profit is no longer sufficient. Companies are expected to make decisions that also consider the impact of their actions on the environment, society, and governance. This book integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into business strategies and analyses its role for firms striving to remain competitive and responsible in a rapidly evolving economic landscape. The author recognizes the ESG approach as a central element of business strategy and not only addresses global challenges such as climate change and social inequality but also its critical role in managing systematic risks-those that affect the entire market and cannot be easily diversified.

Because of their fundamental mission, generating knowledge through research and disseminating it via teaching and publications, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can serve as a vehicle for enacting new worldviews and approaches for sustainability transformation. This book explores the realised and unrealised potential of HEIs to achieve this, adopting a relationship quality management framework. This involves understanding the sustainability needs, preferences, and behaviours of both internal and external stakeholders to deliver satisfying stakeholder experiences, co-creating and communicating sustainable value, thereby fostering stakeholder trust and long-term commitment.This book presents relationship quality management concepts and tools for identifying and transforming stakeholder sustainability needs into action for the benefit of HEI's sustainability transformation. It includes practical insights into the application of relationship quality management tools such as Kano-analysis, the measurement of perceived service quality in higher education (HEdPERF), stakeholder and materiality matrix, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), or the Net Promoter Score (NPS) for assessing HEI customer satisfaction and referral behaviour. It will be of great interest to scholars and students, as well as HEI employees working on sustainability strategy and stakeholder engagement.

Link, ISSN 2195-5824). - ISBN 978-3-031-98553-9.
Descrizione della risorsa al 31 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
This book explores the theoretical connections between time perspective (TP) and strategic and entrepreneurial cognition and entrepreneurial orientation. While time is not a new topic in management and entrepreneurial research, the focus has been on objective/non-psychological time. The primary focus of this book is on the driving impact subjective/psychological time has on entrepreneurs' cognition and firms' entrepreneurial orientation. The author challenges the dominance of objective time (clock time) in management research, advocating for a focus on subjective time (psychological time) and individual-level analysis. This shift helps to better understand the affective, cognitive, and temporal dynamics of decision-makers, which could lead to more nuanced and coherent models of firm life cycles. This book is a valuable source for researchers, scholars, academics, and students in entrepreneurship and management who are interested in strategic and entrepreneurial cognition, and entrepreneurial orientation.

Descrizione della risorsa al 31 marzo 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
At the 15th Viennese Workshop on Optimal Control and Dynamic Games, held in July 2022, experts in economics and the management sciences identified a concerning trend: static decision-making models, while less effective than dynamic ones, are becoming increasingly prevalent. This book aims to address the economic and social costs associated with reliance on static models and to demonstrate the advantages of applying dynamic approaches. Static models may be easier to formulate, but they often overlook the long-term consequences of decisions, promoting myopic practices that can lead to poor outcomes. In contrast, dynamic models foster a more comprehensive perspective, enabling foresight in decision-making - which is crucial for issues involving stock variables, such as pollution, reputation, and inventory. The book explores the limitations of static models, including their inability to capture long-term outcomes, history-dependent solutions, and the impact of abrupt contextual changes. It also highlights recent advances in dynamic modeling techniques that can enhance accuracy and help adapt to complex decision-making environments. By promoting the shift from static to dynamic models, this book aspires to open new research opportunities and provide valuable insights for researchers, students, policymakers, and managers in the fields of economics and the management sciences.

Production, operations and supply chain management / Grando ... [et al.]. - Milano : Bocconi U.P., 2021. - Domestic ed.. - ISBN 978-88-99902-57-5.
Industrial production has always been a propulsion element in any economy, be it from a perspective of value-creation, employment potential, or its impact on sustainability and technological innovation; the ability to manage operations and supply chain is therefore a key skill for a company's competitiveness. If this has always been true, today as never before, in a world hit hard by a medical emergency first, and then by economic and social ones, the reflection on the most appropriate management practices in manufacturing has become a central element for individual companies, entire sectors and countries. The ability to analyze the need of change in the operations and to select and implement appropriate choices can only be based on robust approaches of analysis and diagnosis of manufacturing systems, the measurement of the current and prospective performance, and the knowledge of the foundations of Operations and Supply Chain Management. This book is written from the perspective of those who - be it a young student, a master participant, a manager or entrepreneur - are interested in approaching the main methods and practices of Operations and Supply Chain Management to improve company's performance. Accordingly, the text is characterized by a managerial point of view, accompanied by multiple quantitative insights and examples of application of the main tools and algorithms illustrated.

Consumo e intelligenza artificiale generativa [Risorsa elettronica] : prospettive dal marketing etico / Francesca Bergianti, Silvia Grappi. - Milano : Angeli, c2025. - 1 risorsa online. - (Gestione e organizzazione aziendale). - ISBN 978-88-351-8473-7.
Descrizione della risorsa all'11 febbraio 2026. - Titolo della schermata del titolo.
La diffusione dell'intelligenza artificiale generativa (GenAI) sta trasformando le esperienze di consumo, ridefinendo ruoli, aspettative e tensioni che legano individui, imprese e società. La monografia analizza questo fenomeno dal punto di vista dei consumatori, un'area ancora poco esplorata dalla letteratura, adottando la lente del marketing etico per comprendere come percezioni, aspettative e timori plasmino l'accettazione di queste tecnologie. Dopo aver ricostruito le principali applicazioni consumer di GenAI e le questioni etiche emergenti, il lavoro introduce la prospettiva del consumo etico e presenta due ricerche empiriche complementari: un'indagine qualitativa che esplora preoccupazioni e ambivalenze dei consumatori e uno studio sperimentale volto a misurare l'effetto delle questioni etiche sulla propensione all'uso di GenAI. I risultati mostrano come i consumatori percepiscano la presenza di criticità etiche legate a questa tecnologia e come queste abbiano un impatto concreto sulle loro intenzioni d'uso. Ne derivano implicazioni di rilievo per le imprese, chiamate a integrare principi etici nei processi di adozione e comunicazione, e per i policymaker, chiamati a delineare cornici regolative che favoriscano fiducia e inclusività. La riflessione proposta offre così un contributo originale al dibattito scientifico e manageriale, sottolineando la necessità di un'adozione responsabile e sostenibile di GenAI.

Cortina 1956 : un'olimpiade tra guerra fredda e dolce vita / Andrea Goldstein ; prefazione di Francesco Giavazzi. - Soveria Mannelli : Rubbettino, c2025. - 266 p. ; 23 cm. - (Storie ; 145). - ISBN 978-88-498-8659-7.
Tanley Albright - che aveva iniziato a pattinare da bambina per rimettersi dalla poliomielite e vinse l'oro malgrado un grave infortunio - e il principe di Svezia - che invitò al suo ricevimento di gala i salatori delle piste e i conduttori delle slitte. Toni Sailer - che entrò con prepotenza nella storia vincendo tutte le gare di sci alpino con margini mostruosi - e Sophia Loren - che arrivò con le poche cose necessarie per un paio di giorni stipate in sette bauli rosso fuoco. Eugenio Monti - che sulla pista di casa raccolse i primi allori di una carriera conclusa 12 anni dopo, a 40 anni, con due ori olimpici - e Lester Rodney - che per il quotidiano del Partito comunista americano descrisse i trionfi sovietici in piena Guerra fredda. Sono solo alcuni dei protagonisti delle prime Olimpiadi organizzate in Italia, agli albori del boom economico, ad appena 11 anni dalla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale. Ma che furono anche le prime trasmesse in diretta dalla televisione, le prime in cui una donna lesse il giuramento degli atleti, le prime in cui le due Germanie concorsero sotto la stessa bandiera. Il racconto di Cortina 1956 spazia dallo sport all'economia, dalla politica alla mondanità, in un tragitto ideale che da quei Giochi indimenticabili conduce fino a Milano Cortina 2026.
