Newspapers Searching for New Business Models
From their birth, newspapers have based their existence essentially on the same business model, founded on the sale of copies and advertising. This model, as we know, began to collapse more than a decade ago, and except in some rare cases, mostly abroad, an alternative has not yet been found. According to the data from ADS-Accertamenti Diffusione Stampa, from November 2013 to November 2019, the ...
The Cost of Ignorance
Italy is at the bottom of the rankings in Europe as regards school abandonment. We are fourth from last, with a percentage of 14.5 percent, and still far from reaching the goal of 10 percent set for 2020. The only countries worse than us are Spain, Malta, and Romania.[1] This is not recent news, and like all other news, after having made the headlines of some newspapers for a few days, it then disappeared ...
Supply Chain Finance for the Management of Working Capital
Supply chain finance (SCF) is the set of solutions able to exploit the strong points of a supply chain in order to optimize working capital and cash flow. The use of this solution often leads to an increase of liquidity and profitability along the supply chain, and to positive spillover effects in terms of trust and commitment among the partners of the chain.

A Predictable Decline and the Strategy of Newspapers
The crisis of newspapers has generated a broad debate in the world of journalism[1] and academics[2] that revolves around the following questions: will newspapers survive? If so, in what form? If not, what will the consequences be for the sector and for democratic systems?[3] To respond to these questions it is necessary to go back to the middle of the 1990s, when daily newspapers decided to ...
When Publishers no Longer Believe in Publishing
You had to get in line, twenty years ago, to understand the phenomenon of Repubblica.it. In the fall of 2001, delegations of experts and journalists from Axel Springer, the publisher of the popular Bild and the elite Die Welt newspapers in Germany, plus a long list of regional publications and magazines, came down from Berlin to Rome, armed with notepads. The Parisians of Le Monde also went to Repubblica’s ...
The Triumph of Subjectivity (and of the Smartphone)
I hadn’t realized how difficult it was to write about the historical evolution of the circulation of newspapers. I thought I could trust the enormous attention dedicated to the issue for years and decades; not only in the world of experts on the subject, but a bit in all segments of sociopolitical and mass communication culture. Yet I practically found a desert. There are no definitive studies ...
From the Newspaper to the Newsbrand: The View of Managers
Audipress represents the official, objective, and impartial survey on the reading of daily and periodic press in Italy. It provides data on reading, together with socio-demographic information on the readers for the main Italian journalistic publications (54 newspapers and daily supplements - that represent almost the entirety of what is sold by newsstands in this segment - and 50 periodicals).[1] ...
What It Means to Talk about Made in Italy
Much is said about Made in Italy production, but perhaps not enough. Discussions have been ongoing for decades now, referring to aggregate and structural analyses, thus discussing leading sectors (3 F or 4/5 A)[1] and businesses (iconic brands), the structure and dynamics of export markets, the impact on GDP and the contribution to the balance of payments, offshoring and inshoring, and so on. Yet ...
Negotiating Styles: the Impact of Culture
In today's world, negotiations increasingly involve people belonging to different cultures, and individuals belonging to different cultures tend to have different negotiating styles. 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 ...
