The Italian Utilities Industry
This book addresses the fundamental changes that the Italian public utilities sector has undergone in the last two decades. Since the late 1990s, liberalisation and privatisation have replaced state-owned monopolies at both the national and local level, new technologies have created a broad range of new opportunities for power generation and distribution, and a redesigned public policy agenda has brought to the fore a whole set of new priorities. In this fast-changing environment, firms have redrawn their strategies, redesigned their business architectures and models, invested in infrastructure and R&D, taken advantage of growth opportunities at home and abroad, opened up their ownership str...
Capital Markets
This book is the result of the 10-year collaboration between Equita and Bocconi to carry out research and studies on capital markets. Well before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall evidence showed that capital markets in Italy were still underdeveloped. In fact, the past decade was characterized by serious weaknesses in the structure and functioning of these markets. The lack of a robust financial infrastructure of capital markets, the need to strengthen the investor base, and flaws in the intermediation structure of capital markets were clear factors of competitive disadvantage for Italy vis-à-vis other European countries. Today, the financial and macroeconomic scenario has...

Space Economy
According to the OECD definition, the space economy is the full range of activities that create value to human beings through exploring, researching, understanding, managing, and utilizing space. It includes all actors engaged in developing, providing and using space-related products and services: research and development, space infrastructure, space-derived applications, as well as the resulting scientific knowledge. The space economy thus goes far beyond the space sector in the narrow sense to encompass many others: think of agriculture, environmental protection, natural resource management and transportation, to name a few. The space economy is now worth $469 billion globally, with double...
Manager of the future
A good manager must have a broad range of technical and managerial skills, as well as strategic vision and an awareness of the financial, environmental and social sustainability of his or her decisions. Becoming a manager therefore requires aptitude, method and considerable preparation. Management education plays a crucial role in the development of this professionalism, a role that is still too often undervalued. Imagining a company as a large and complex orchestra, managers first need to understand their own professional expectations and attitudes in order to navigate the path of growth between a general managerial orientation, as a "conductor" of the different sections, and a specialized orientation, as an expert in a discipline and able to integrate into a complex context. This collection of contributions provides a compass to better understand the differences and similarities of various paths of higher management education and illustrates the skills that are essential to prepare for the challenges of this profession in an increasingly less predictable future.
Italian taxation of inheritances and trusts
The book outlines in the first part the main aspects of italian inheritance tax legislation and, namely, its territorial scope of application, the issues concerning the taxable estate – such as the valuation of assets, the deductibility of liabilities and the available exemptions – the applicable tax rates and, finally, the essential features of the procedural aspects. The analysis is carried out making a constant reference to the principles stated by the European Court of Justice that, since 2003 with the Barbier case, has been dealing with inheritance tax provisions paying attention to their consistency with the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the eU treaty. In the second part of the book the analysis is shifted to the “state of the art” of the italian legislation regarding the taxation of trusts, focusing first on the recognition of trusts for income tax purposes and their tax residence and, subsequently, on the tax treatment of the income derived by the trust and of the distributions to the beneficiaries. At last, the application of the inheritance and gift tax is examined.

The Alphabet of Sustainability
Sustainability is all the rage - in words, at any rate. It appears with increasing frequency in political speeches, recommendations of inter-national organizations, pledges of business leaders, and in the advertising of many products. All of this has led many to believe that the word is overused to the point of “burnout,” along with the apparent disconnect between commitments made and actions taken. But a closer look reveals that the concept is taken very seriously by the successful companies examined in this book, one for each letter of the alphabet: Alce Nero, Berlucchi, Chiesi, Davines, Enel, Florim, Granarolo, Huma-na People to People, Inglesina, Jointly, Kartell, Lago, Melinda, NATIVA, Olivetti, Patagonia, Quantis, Rossi & Lanerossi, Sofidel, Toyota, Uni-pol, Video Systems, WAMI, xFarm, Yamamay, Zordan. Their stories are undeniable proof that, despite the organizational and financial challenges, choosing sustainability is a long-term reward that requires everyone - from policymakers to businesses, from the media to consumers - to change the grammar of their behavior and speak a language fit for the challenges of the 21st century.
My Vineyards: Home To the Cabreo Legacy
The narrative of Ambrogio Folonari goes beyond that of a passionate individual or a dynamic entrepreneur in the wine industry. It is, in essence, a first-person account intricately linked with the historical, social, and economic events of an entire nation, mirroring the destiny of wine in Italy. In the past century, in fact, wine production and consumption have not simply been a consequence of major cultural and socio-economic changes but, in some cases, have determined the fate of larger contexts. Acknowledged as the undisputed father of the renaissance of Italian oenology, Ambrogio has devoted his entire life to the pursuit of excellence, helping change wine tasting and creating, through ...
