PPP & Private Capital for Sustainable Infrastructure and Smart Cities
This work, fruit of the research activities of the Centre of Excellence on sustainable finance for infrastructure and smart cities (exsuf), set up in 2021 from the «Committee on Housing and Land Management» of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (unece) and from Liuc – Cattaneo University, aims to describe the state of the art in the regulations and principle features and definitions of sustainable finance and smart cities, analyzing the classical schemes of project financing and ppps and highlighting the present scenario in which public and private actors, and, in particular, private capital entities move. By means of a market analysis of ppps in Italy and thanks to requests coming from discussions with practitioners and sector experts, the text concludes by showing how classical ppps models have to evolve to guarantee flexibility and to promote constructive dialogue between public entities and the private sector with the goal of identifying new financial and design metrics and new ways of putting them into practice.
Blockchain Ecosystem. Driving mass adoption
Beyond Bitcoin and the world of cryptocurrencies, blockchain is an extraordinary technology that is revealing a surprising transformative power impacting all the industries. Blockchain requires a paradigm shift toward disintermediation and antifragility, which is today even more necessary for business and society. In this book, the reader will find a representation of the entire blockchain ecosystem from a pragmatic point of view that encompasses actual cases of organizations, companies, and communities that are already working hard to realize it. To understand an ecosystem so mutable and fragmented and not get lost in its complexity, it is essential to focus on the most crucial factor: the ...

(BEYOND) HUMAN RESOURCES. Myths, rituals and dilemmas in a journey between past and future
This book is inspiring and much-needed. It is a manual, not in the sense of an operational guide, but in its etymological and foundational sense, that of the Greek encheiridion. This book’s strength lies in its ability to balance two perspectives: the subjective view of those with hands-on experience in organizations and the broad, multidisciplinary perspective informed by a rich literature. It doesn’t just broaden the gaze to encompass managerial and organizational paradigms; it also incorporates economic, psychological, and sociological knowledge. From the very first pages, I was blown away by the sheer depth of insight and the wealth of references that the author brings to bear on the complex world of human resources. This book demands reflection and teaches you a lot and it does it without ever being saccharine.
HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT. Governance tecnologica per la sanità. Prefazione di Ranieri Guerra
L’Health Technology Assessment è una logica al servizio della governance sanitaria: un modello condiviso di valutazione del valore che le tecnologie sanitarie offrono alla prevenzione, diagnosi, cura e riabilitazione sanitaria. Il testo ripercorre i modelli proposti dagli scholar, descrivendo le dimensioni, riconosciute in letteratura, da presidiare nella valutazione delle innovazioni tecnologiche, sia essa rapida, quick and dirty, o completa, proponendo anche il supporto finale alla presa di decisione, derivato dalla Multi Criteria Decision Analysis. Il Centro sull’Economia e il Management nella Sanità e nel Sociale di LUIC Business School ha sempre operato con tale approccio, disting...
Tales of empathy, orange blossoms and tuna tartare
Is work still an empowering activity? Selfish and overwhelmed by stress: this is how we often behave at work, generating sorrow for ourselves, too. Even if we are all aware that we’d just need to look away from the PC and interact with others, listen and talk to each other. In one word, we’d just need empathy. Nine stories of hidden talents, concealed by apparently unbreakable shields, written by a sensitive and expert HR Director, working with successful and less successful organizations. Virginia Piccirilli selects and writes, in an ironical and brilliant fashion, both personal and professional true stories that are full of empathy, emotional intelligence and humanity.
Smart leadership
Il volume intende prefigurare le possibili declinazioni di una “leadership intelligente” nel non profit tradizionale, alla luce delle dinamiche evolutive cui quest’ultimo è stato recentemente sottoposto e sulla scorta degli attuali – reiterati – tentativi di professionalizzazione del volontariato. In tale ottica, il volume coglie prioritariamente le caratteristiche identificative della leadership vs il “management”, ripercorrendo la letteratura esistente ed approcciando il tema all’interno del dibattito sul terzo settore.
Verso un’economia integrale. La via italiana alla ripresa
Con la Rivoluzione industriale e l’avvento del modello «classico», l’economia ha perso il ruolo che aveva ricoperto fino ad allora nello sviluppo di un valore economico teso anche alla crescita della società nel suo insieme e ha contribuito a generare squilibri sociali ed ambientali che oggi minano la sostenibilità stessa di quel risultato. L’affermazione incontrastata di questo modello ha allontanato l’economia da un’etica del lavoro i cui valori fondativi prevedevano l’integrazione tra un giusto profitto e la valorizzazione delle persone, delle comunità e dell’ambiente, princìpi su cui l’Europa per secoli aveva costruito il suo sviluppo e di cui il Rinascimento italia...
The Lean Book. Come creare processi efficaci ed efficienti in ogni organizzazione
Avete mai sentito parlare di lean? È un sistema di management in grado di rendere i processi delle organizzazioni efficienti ed efficaci, focalizzandoli sul valore per il cliente e non solo sulla riduzione dei costi. Il lean system ha radici antiche, ma si è nel tempo evoluto fino a raggiungere una dimensione organica e tiene oggi in considerazione le moderne tecnologie; è fatto di componenti semplici, ma spesso controintuitive, che vanno comprese nel loro insieme per poter essere applicate con successo. La sfida di questo libro è raccontare tutto questo con approccio – appunto – lean: scientifico, rigoroso, completo e preciso ma, soprattutto, semplice. The Lean Book è progettato pe...
