Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise
After a quarter century of almost general condemnation and rebuttal of the entire nationalization experience, it appears that there are second thoughts about governmental direct intervention in the economy. Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise deals with a topic often undervalued in the past decade but which now, with the crisis of 2008-2009, calls for greater attention: the direct intervention of the State as Entrepreneur. The collection of essays in this volume – prepared by some of the leading authorities in the field – offers a contribution to this debate by providing a balanced assessment of two of the most relevant experiences of mixed economies, the United Kingdom and Italy. In thi...
Deindustrialisation in Twentieth-Century Europe
Exploring two large economies which were heavily affected by deindustrialisation in the late twentieth century, this book provides insights into the social movements that brought about and also challenged industrial reduction in Europe. Both the Ruhr region in Germany and the Northwest of Italy experienced major structural transformation from the 1960s as a result of deindustrialisation. With contributions from experts in the field, this collection provides a comparative overview of each region, examining policy implementation, class relations, the changing political economy and environmental impact. Analysing industrial and post-industrial landscapes, urban developments and labour relations, the authors place their transnational findings within the context of the wider literature on deindustrialisation in the global North. A much-needed contribution to deindustrialisation studies, which have traditionally focused on North America and the UK, this book is a useful read for those researching deindustrialisation and the social history of Europe.
A Research Agenda for Management and Organization Studies
Managing and organizing are now central phenomena in contemporary societies. It is essential they are studied from a variety of perspectives, and with equal attention paid to their past, their present, and their future. This book collects opinions of the trailblazing scholars concerning the most important research topics, essential for study in the next 15–20 years. The opinions concern both traditional functions, such as accounting and marketing, personnel management and strategy, technology and communication, but also new challenges, such as diversity, equality, waste and cultural encounters. The collection is intended to be inspiration for young scholars and an invitation to a dialogue with practitioners.
Deciphering the European Investment Bank
Deciphering the European Investment Bank: History, Politics and Economics examines the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Union’s financial institution and the largest lender and borrower among the International Financial Institutions.

Written by acknowledged experts from various discipline...

An Institutional History of Italian Economics in the Interwar Period — Volume II
Italy is well known for its prominent economists, as well as for the typical public profile they have constantly revealed. But, when facing an illiberal and totalitarian regime, how closely did Italian economists collaborate with government in shaping its economic and political institutions, or work independently? This edited book completes a gap in the history of Italian economic thought by addressing in a comprehensive way the crucial link between economics and the fascist regime, covering the history of political economy in Italy during the so-called “Ventennio” (1922-1943) with an institutional perspective. The approach is threefold: analysis of the academic and extra-academic scene,...
Storia dell'IRI. 5. Un Gruppo singolare. Settori, bilanci, presenza nell'economia italiana
L'Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale (IRI) nasce nel 1933, per volere di Mussolini e su progetto di Alberto Beneduce, con l'intento di evitare il fallimento delle principali banche e imprese italiane e con esso il crollo dell'economia, già provata dalla crisi mondiale esplosa nel 1929. Dal dopoguerra l'Istituto è protagonista prima della ricostruzione e poi del miracolo economico. Dopo le difficoltà emerse negli anni '70 e il programma di ristrutturazione e rilancio degli anni '80, l'IRI conclude la sua attività nel 2002 dopo le operazioni di privatizzazione che contribuiscono in misura significativa al raggiungimento degli obiettivi di finanza pubblica e all'adesione italiana all...
Storia dell'IRI. 6. L'IRI nella economia italiana
Questo libro completa l'opera in sei volumi Storia dell'IRI. Integra i volumi analitici che l'hanno preceduto con una trattazione incentrata sulle reciproche interazioni fra le vicende dell'Istituto e quelle attraversate dall'economia italiana: la crisi degli anni Trenta del Novecento, dalla quale l'IRI scaturì e al cui superamento, sotto la guida di Alberto Beneduce e di Donato Menichella, recò un apporto decisivo; la guerra e la ricostruzione postbellica; il 'miracolo economico', del quale l'IRI fu protagonista; la stagflation degli anni Settanta e le difficoltà degli anni Ottanta che, nonostante l'impegno profuso dall'IRI, sfociarono nella scelta politica della privatizzazione delle im...
