The Americanisation of European Business
This book examines the mechanisms and channels through which American managerial know-how and US management models were transferred to Europe after 1945, as well as the actual influence on European industries, companies and regions in the 1950s and 1960s. It explores the role of the European Productivity Agency, business leaders, US multinationals, regional networks and institutions, as well as the actual transfer process and potential political, cultural and institutional barriers. The final section contains the cases of three European companies which adopted American Management methods to a considerable extent during the 1950s and 1960s.
Americanization and Its Limits
An analysis of Americanization in European and Japanese industry after World War II. The contributors analyze the creative role of local actors in selectively adapting US technology and management methods to suit local conditions, and in creating hybrid forms combining foreign and indigenous practices in unforeseen, yet remarkably competitive ways.

Open Borders
In order to create a greater dialogue between new and emerging Italian philosophy and established continental traditions of thought, Silvia Benso and Antonio Calcagno bring together the work of well-known figures in Italian philosophy such as Antonio Negri, Roberto Esposito, Remo Bodei, Gianni Vattimo, Massimo Cacciari, and Adriana Cavarero with important thinkers like Schelling, Hegel, Schmitt, Heidegger, Gadamer, Irigaray, Arendt, Deleuze, Guattari, Derrida, and Foucault. In Open Borders, Benso and Calcagno introduce to a larger English-speaking audience the thought of highly regarded late twentieth-century Italian philosophers who seek to redefine concepts such as freedom, interpretation, existence, woman, male-female relationships, realism, emotions, and aesthetics. The diverse contributors to this book often transgress and redefine the limits and insights of philosophy itself and bring to the fore a new body of thinking that offers new ways of self-understanding while deeply engaging the issues and questions of contemporary society.
Politics and Negation
For some while we have been witnessing a series of destructive phenomena which seem to indicate a full-fledged return to the negative on the world stage – from terrorism and armed conflict to the threat of environmental catastrophe. At the same time, politics seems increasingly impotent in the face of these threats. In this book, the leading Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito reconstructs the genealogy of the reciprocal intertwining of politics and negation. He retraces the intensification of negation in the thought of various thinkers, from Schmitt and Freud to Heidegger, and examines the negative slant of some of our fundamental political categories, such as sovereignty, property and f...
The European Yearbook of Business History
First published in 1999, this volume aims to reflect on the changing structure, experience and aspirations of European business as it approaches the Millennium, including chapters in issues including business scandals in the Weimar Republic, the evolution of management consultancies in Portugal and Spain and the British Public Sector. The yearbook exploits these changes by serving as a forum for debate in Europe and aims to bring work on individual countries to a wider, European audience. Responding to the challenge of globalization, cooperation within a single European market and an increasing interest in corporate governance and environmental issues, the yearbook broadens to include socio-political issues along with stimulating new types of scholarship among European business historians and new preservation strategies by business archivists.
Fort und Da
Dopo la sua Tetralogia, l'autore propone al lettore un libro nel quale principalmente si intessono in trama Freud e Heidegger, Derrida e Sini. Da "Al di là del principio di piacere", si passa alla "speculazione" che in esso si innesta, per giungere alla posta in gioco della "pratica del pensiero". Non può mancare, in una tale scena, l'apparizione di Lacan, con i suoi "giri del dire". Tutto ciò avviene continuamente sullo sfondo di "la vita la morte", nel rimbalzo del progetto gettato che tutti siamo e che potremmo chiamare, parafrasando Heidegger, "die äusserste Er-innerung", l'estremo addentrarsi nel "supremo ricordo". Lo scritto comprende inoltre delle considerazioni sugli appunti di Heidegger in margine ai Seminari di Zollikon (vol. 89 della "Gesamtausgabe"), dove possiamo trovare evidenti tracce che testimoniano, molto più che altrove nella produzione heideggeriana, una lettura da parte del filosofo dell'opera di Freud (a conferma del suo "profondo domandare" sulla psicologia in generale), e dove anche Vico è nominato.
