This book explores the intricate world of strategic management. Blending theory with practical examples, the authors provide a systematic framework for strategic decisionmaking. The book is divided into two parts. It begins by exploring the perspectives of strategic analysis, examining the firm’s “current situation” and “evolutionary” perspectives, as well as the “objective reality” and “subjective perspective”. These interconnected perspectives require different analytical approaches to understand the firm’s present state and the process of change. The second part, entitled “The strategic map: the areas, the pathway and the objects of analysis”, delves deeper into specific areas of strategic analysis. It focuses on the current state of the firm (today’s firm), emphasizing the importance of understanding its resources, products, markets, activities, and stakeholder relationships. The quality and implementation effectiveness of the strategic model are also assessed, providing a reflection tool for improvement. The book further explores strategic change processes, the values and identity of the firm, performance evaluation, and corporate governance and internal control system. Suitable for newcomers and professionals in corporate strategy and governance, this book combines theory and practical examples to enhance understanding.
Painters, draftsmen, goldsmiths, sculptors, and designers, the Pollaiuolo brothers of fifteenth-century Florence produced some of the most beautiful works of the Italian Renaissance.
This paper analyzes the links between financial and trade openness and financial development in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. It is based on a panel dataset using methods that tackle slope heterogeneity, cross-sectional dependence and non-stationarity, important econometric problems that are often ignored in the literature. The results do not point to a general direct robust link between trade and capital account openness and financial development in SSA, once we control for other factors such as GDP per capita and inflation. But there is some indication that trade openness is more important for financial development in countries with better institutional quality. The findings might be due to a number of factors including distortions in domestic financial markets, relatively weak institutions and/or poor financial sector supervision. Thus, African policy makers should be cautious about expectations regarding immediate gains for financial development from greater international integration. Such gains are more likely to occur through indirect channels.
Pizza is one of the best-known and widely exported Italian foods and yet relatively little is known about its origins in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Myths such as the naming of pizza margherita after the Italian queen abound, but little serious scholarly attention has been devoted to the topic. Eschewing exaggerated fables, this book draws a detailed portrait of the difficulties experienced by the then marginalized class of pizza makers, rather than the ultimate success of their descendants. It provides a unique exploration of the history of pizza making in Naples, offering an archival-based history of the early story of pizza and the establishment of the pizzeria. Touching upon issues of politics, economics and sociology, Inventing the Pizzeria contributes not only to the commercial, social and food history of Italy but also provides an urban history of a major European city, told through one of its most famous edible exports. Originally published in Italian, this English edition is updated with a revised introduction and conclusion, a new preface and additional images and sources.
IRDA EDIZIONINella vita ci siamo innamorati di una donna (è stato la prima voltada adolescenti).E' capitato che più forte è stato l'amore, più lo si è tenutonascosto, (e non confessarlo) facendo si che il cuore ne soffrissenel dolce segno della realtà, pur mostrandolo con gesti o conparole e, tenendocelo segretamente.Io mi sono sempre innamorato, del verde della campagna,del mare azzurro, dell'aria che respiravo, (una volta erano cosebuone, oggi è tutto inquinato) dei raggi solari cheriscaldavano la mia pelle e, della bellezza della donna.Dono che Dio mi ha dato ( come anche a voi) questomeraviglioso dono, amare con amore...Antonio Marullo
The Hermaphrodite's open celebration of vice, particularly sodomy, earned it public burnings, threats of excommunication, banishment to the closed sections of libraries, and a devoted following. Beccadelli combined the comic realism of Italian popular verse with the language of Martial to explore the underside of the early Renaissance.
Una volta credevamo di essere soli nell’universo. Oggi sappiamo che possono esistere mondi abitati da esseri intelligenti come e più di noi. Haracnya è uno di questi e la sostanziale differenza col nostro è che qui la vita non ha scadenza. Su Haracnya le lotte per il potere sono accesi scontri fra animali: chi sopravvive impara ed alcuni hanno capito che rabbia e bramosia uccidono. Sono sopravvissuti in questo mondo selvaggio più a lungo di chiunque altro, trasformandosi nei millenni fino a divenire uomini. Ognuno di essi è il signore del proprio ambiente e lo cura e lo protegge ogni momento. Anche sulla Terra un’altra specie di umani si sta evolvendo e sta per fare il grande passo: diventare custode del proprio mondo. La più giovane, l’unica nata già umana, bionda, bellissima e alata, Dynijer, si pone domande profonde col garbo e la gentilezza dovute ad una vita che non ha prezzo se pur la si paga ogni giorno molto cara e guarda lontano ad un orizzonte infinito fatto di giorni e notti che per poter essere vissuti dovranno essere almeno sereni: i suoi calcoli per la sopravvivenza non riguardano cibo e riparo, ma sentimenti; il suo linguaggio non può essere altro che poesia.
