How to Gain Maximum Trust
We are experiencing a period of tremendous economic and social uncertainty, marked by international political tensions and stagnant consumption. Despite a slowdown in inflation, rising consumer prices over the past three years have eroded household purchasing power, already under pressure from high energy costs and rising financing costs.

“Deep Blue”: Exploring the Depths of Space and Oceans at the Festival of Management
The second edition of the Festival of Management by SIMA – the Italian Society of Management – solidified the innovative initiative launched in February 2023 to elevate management culture within Italian universities.

Making Decisions in the Era of Complexity
The fundamental problem we face in a complex environment is our limited capacity to make predictions. Cases in point: At year’s end 2021, who thought that Putin would have the nerve to challenge the West by invading Ukraine just weeks after New Year's?

Digital and sustainable decisions for a changing world
We’re living in the digital age and facing challenges linked to sustainability, so to put it another way, this is the century of digital and sustainable decisions. For some time, digital was fundamentally seen as an object, a tool: a smartphone, a tablet, a smart TV. We recognized the pleasure of the game (as Alessandro Baricco deftly describes it in his novel "The Game"), but governments and businesses ...
Geopolitics: an asset for small and medium-sized enterprises
Arguing that geopolitical analysis represents an asset for small and medium-sized enterprises is a counterintuitive assertion. As an initial reaction, it is natural to experience a degree of skepticism. Geopolitics, given its analytical framework, might appear to be a method better suited to complex and articulated organizations, with budgets capable of absorbing without difficulty a function ...
The sustainability pendulum: stakeholders set the course
Sustainability took several hits in 2025, though none delivered a knockout blow. Regulatory progress slowed in both the U.S. and Europe, and mounting political pressure might suggest a retreat. Yet the underlying trend remains intact. Stakeholder demand continues to exert powerful influence beyond regulation. Clients, employees, local communities, and the media still expect measurable, verifiable ...
How to negotiate (successfully) in the phygital world
Phygital negotiation refers to a blend of traditional face-to-face and digital-enabled interactions. In fact, digital tools can enhance the negotiation process in both in-person interactions (with data mining, for instance) and virtual ones (online meetings). In essence, phygital negotiations encompass a wide variety of combinations of direct, personal contacts and technology-driven elements such ...
Managers of tomorrow: rethinking education in the age of AI
Management education has undergone a profound transformation over time, adapting to the economic, technological, and social dynamics of the exogenous environment and moving from a traditional approach, based on theory and hierarchy, to a more dynamic model incorporating new technologies. In this sense, the evolution of management education not only reflects changes in the world of work. It’s also ...

Professional football clubs have been engaging more intentionally and extensively in a plethora of CSR activities.

The power of shared ideas: IFSAM’s journey in a book
A living archive of global academic collaboration, a tribute to intellectual kinship, and a call to action for the future of management scholarship. The IFSAM 35th Anniversary Memory Book is far more than a commemorative publication.
