Italy’s Growth Runs on Rails
Italy is the first case in the world – and the only one in Europe – of competition between high-speed rail operators. By international standards, our country’s regulatory structure and pricing are particularly advanced. In the next few years, numerous factors of change will affect the mobility and the evolution of the railway system: demographic and social, environmental, economic, and technological. ...
The Ligurian Logistics Platform
Thanks to its geographic position in the heart of the Mediterranean, Italy represents a true "logistical platform" that offers multiple access points along its coast and in particular along the ports of the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas. However, it is necessary to rethink the role of ports, that must aim to acquire a different dimension that includes the entire maritime-port-logistics cluster, including ...
The Italian Automotive Sector between Innovation and Business Networks
The economic crisis that has hit the automotive sector due to the Covid-19 pandemic has had significant effects on supply and demand, de facto accelerating the technological transition and paradigm shift that had already begun in this sector. The Italian supply chain has accumulated a significant gap over the years compared to its international competitors in terms of research and development and ...
Negotiation: How Important is Cultural Background?
An activity present in every human community and society, but carried out following norms, methods, and behavior that can be very different depending on different cultural backgrounds: this is how we could describe negotiation in an intercultural perspective. In a world of globalized business, in which organizations and professionals increasingly find themselves interacting with colleagues and ...
Innovator Country, Not Entrepreneurial State
What our country is lacking is not an "Entrepreneurial State" – an expression often misunderstood and manipulated to promote forms of neo-statism from the 1970s – but a state oriented towards the development and growth of knowledge and the market, that promotes research and innovation in all contexts and areas of society.#Italy needs to be an "Innovator Country," in all of its expressions and ...
Human Capital: from Emergency to Priority for the Country’s Future
Human capital represents a key factor for the competitiveness and economic and social development of a country. The main factors that determine the quality and quantity of human capital are represented by the demographic curve, the educational system, research spending and the system of scientific research in general, and the ability of a country to attract quality immigration from the rest of the ...
All the Opportunities of the MENA Area
The MENA area has factors of attractiveness that make it desirable as a new "promised land for business" for Italian companies. The MENA area has points of strength that appear specular to the weaknesses of Italy.#Thanks to its geographic positioning, our country represents a natural logistics platform in the Mediterranean. Only through important investments aimed at developing our intermodal network ...
Old Age as Stimulus for a New Form of Welfare
The perspective of the silver economy requires expanding our viewpoint, integrating the needs and attitudes of older people into welfare practices. The first market sectors that have looked towards the silver segment have been tourism, art and culture, transport, and wellness. Compared to people under 35, in Italy those who are over 65 have higher average pro-capita consumption, higher average income, ...
How the Demographic Profile Has Changed
Italy holds the record as the oldest country in Europe: 22.8 percent of its inhabitants are over 65 years of age. Moreover, since 2015, the country has been losing an average of 100,000 inhabitants per year, showing its inability for demographic growth. The exceptional longevity of its population places it at the top spot in the world. In addition, once passing 65, both men and women lead increasingly ...
The Origins of the Print Media Crisis
There is an observation - from a few years ago - that is as ironic as it is dramatic, made by a famous journalism studies researcher, that goes more or less like this: to speak of a crisis for print media is an optimistic understatement of reality. In the Italian case, an additional qualification must be made: the print media sector has never had a particularly leading role. The historical causes ...
