Through an analysis of the transformation of ancient institutions, such as libraries and museums, new forms of exchange of original works, such as NFTs, and the changes underway in the relationships between operators that exist in different ...
Negotiating Styles: the Impact of Culture

These differences cannot be ignored, given that they can have a significant impact on the outcome of transactions, agreements, and collaboration. In a soon to be published study by Leonardo Caporarello, a comparison is ...
