Best Practices in Acquisition Contracts
Acquisition contracts are increasingly complex and structured. Corporate transactions, private equity deals, controlling and minority stakes, and pricing mechanisms complicate negotiations and influence the closing times of operations. Contracts have standard clauses with the application of very diverse perimeters and quantities as a function of the type of operation and the characteristics of the ...
New Bureaucracy? Make Way for Youth
Policies blocking turnover have caused a resizing and aging of the Italian public administration, raising the need to rejuvenate and upgrade the bureaucratic machine. To that end, it is essential to invest in processes of attraction and selection of young talent, competing in the labor market with private businesses. International experiences show the effective introduction of active recruitment strategies ...
How to Exercise Leadership in Complex Contexts
The cultural model of the real exercise of leadership is still that of one person in control, with an array of followers. The concepts of leader and leadership are thus still associated with characteristics such as charisma, persuasive ability, assertiveness, and rapid actions and decisions.

Innovator Country, Not Entrepreneurial State

Meritocracy and Inequality in Selection
The profession of the recruiter has an active role in the encounter between the supply and demand of work. Recruiters have shown that their role is not simply that of matching the productive needs of enterprises and the existing characteristics of labor supply. In reality, they are intermediaries. In other words, recruiters have a certain influence in the “social construction” of the characteristics ...
Training Needs Good Policies
Without a continuous training system, a part of the community finishes its training at the end of formal education and quickly discovers that its basic skills are insufficient. In Italy, despite the intense theoretical debate on the issue, very little is being done in the way of training. Training is a lever for enterprises to fulfill their social responsibility and generate “shared” value with ...
Career Progression in Italy: Old Paths, New Tensions
Over the last decade, the world economy has lived through big transformations, that have had repercussions on businesses with phenomena such as outsourcing, downsizing, and organizational flattening, to name a few. Working relationships have become less long-lasting, with a steady increase in temporary contracts, supported also by digital platforms. These transformations have had a significant impact ...
What Different Generations Want from Employers
Today, at least three different generations work together at companies: the famous Millennials (between 23 and 39 years old), the Baby Boomers on their way out (between 59 and 73) and Gen X (between 40 and 58), a sandwich generation stuck between the other two, despite being the most important in numerical terms. Examining differences (including generational differences) is important to design effective ...
Hunting Talent with Employer Branding
In the past it was decidedly easier for a company searching for talent to find people due to a stronger position on the labor market. Today seeking and keeping talented resources has become perceived not only as particularly important, but also as difficult to achieve. The reasons for this reversal are to be attributed to radical changes in the labor market in the past twenty years. Employer branding ...
