National Monopoly to Successful Multinational: the case of Enel
Using the Enel case, this volume unpacks the effective implementation of an ambidextrous perspective on adaptation and change, providing some key lessons for managers and scholars. It begins by exploring Enel's recent history, before mapping the steps of a remarkable transition from public monopolist to a successful transnational group.
Innovation @@ ENEL
Enel is an innovative Italian energy utility that is undergoing rapid change. Technically the company has enthusiastically embraced renewable energy under its new CEO, Francesco Starace. The company is also shifting its business model away from the traditional cost plus regulatory model, towards a model built around a variety of value-add services. Open innovation is an important part of this transformation. There are internal barriers to overcome, and new organizational structures required, to manage this change.
Text Mining and Its Applications
The world of text mining is simultaneously a minefield and a gold mine. Text Mining is a rapidly developing applications field and an area of scientific research, using techniques from well-established scientific fields such as data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing, case-based reasoning, statistics and knowledge management. The book contains the papers presented during the 1st International Workshop on Text Mining and its Applications held at the University of Patras, which was the launch event of the activities of NEMIS, a network of excellence in the area of text mining and its applications. The conference maintained a balance between theoretical issues and descriptions of case studies to promote synergy between theory and practice in the field of Text Mining. Topics of interest included document processing and visualization techniques, web mining, text mining and knowledge management, as well as user aspects and relations to official statistics
Integrated Reporting
This book focuses on Integrated Reporting as a contemporary social and managerial innovation where a number of initiatives, organizations and individuals began to converge in response to the need for a consistent, collaborative and internationally accepted approach to redesign corporate reporting. Integrated Reporting is a process that results in communication of the annual “integrated report” which describes value creation over time. An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organization’s strategy, governance, performance and prospects lead to the creation of value over the short, medium and long term. This book offers a fresh perspective with expert contributions focusing on both the theoretical underpinnings and the practical challenges for the future of corporate reporting.
Competitive Strategy
A new paradigm for balancing flexibility and commitment in management strategy through the amalgamation of real options and game theory. Corporate managers who face both strategic uncertainty and market uncertainty confront a classic trade-off between commitment and flexibility. They can stake a claim by making a large capital investment today, influencing their rivals' behavior, or they can take a “wait and see” approach to avoid adverse market consequences tomorrow. In Competitive Strategy, Benoît Chevalier-Roignant and Lenos Trigeorgis describe an emerging paradigm that can quantify and balance commitment and flexibility, “option games,” by which the decision-making approaches of...

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.
