Finance for Europe

In his latest report on Europe’s present and future competitiveness, Mario Draghi argues that Europe is in a paradoxical situation: it appears stable but has unknowingly fallen ill. It has set ambitious environmental targets, possibly beyond its reach, while neglecting applied business research and struggling with the ambiguity between national sovereignty and the role of supranational institutions. ...

Public debt and interest rates: the compass dilemma

Let’s start with the facts. The incoming German government coalition has reached an agreement to increase public spending by 500 billion euros, easing both formal and cultural constraints on spending, deficits, and debt – particularly with regard to defense.

The shortcut of protectionism: external solutions for internal problems?

“Amor, ch'a nullo amato amar perdona.” Throughout the Inferno, many sinners offer justifications or shift the blame onto others, trying to elicit pity from Dante the pilgrim or to rationalize their eternal torment.

Apple at a critical crossroads: dependence on China and the tariff war

"Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China." The presentation of the first iPhone by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, in San Francisco, California, went down in history not only for its theatricality but, above all, for its vision.

Beyond practice updates. values and principles redefining controlling

The Planning and Control (P&C) system is undergoing a moment of profound transformation. Throughout all of business history, in the face of external changes, the control function evolves when it becomes clear that existing practices are losing relevance.
