Is small still beautiful? The recent economic and financial crisis has shown that developed countries in which firms are smaller suffered the biggest GDP plunges. Today, economic growth depends more than in the past on sound and well-organized firms, which means more innovation, a better educated labor force, higher likelihood of access to financial resources and efficient investments. This does not mean the end of small-sized firms, but that they need to be different from the way they were in the past. This book provides an international perspective on analyses and policy recommendations for how small businesses can reinforce their role in modern economies.

This book investigates the determinants of policy design choices in an area of public policy embracing multiple sectors of public responsibilities: Research and Innovation (R&I). Drawing on case studies from France and Italy, it assesses how governments design research and innovation policy strategies. It also examines how policymakers and stakeholders translate their interests into different design strategies, and the impact of varying political orientations and institutional setups on shaping choices for alternative policy instruments. Lastly, the book considers how the interactions between policy makers and policy takers influence policy design choices. It will appeal to scholars and students of comparative public policy, public administration, emerging technologies, and governance.

Le persone oggi vedono la minaccia degli sciami di locuste come una cosa del passato, una delle piaghe dell’Egitto di Mosè e del Faraone. Non è proprio così: ancora negli anni Duemila parti del mondo sono preda delle loro invasioni. E naturalmente la questione ha una storia alle spalle: le locuste furono nemiche all’umanità del Mediterraneo nel mezzo millennio fra 1300 e 1800, causando effetti sensibili nell’ambiente e nell’economia, nella società e nelle mentalità.
L’industria italiana sta ragionando su cosa fare per superare la terribile caduta provocata dall’epidemia. Alla precedente e meno grave crisi globale del 2008, l’industria aveva risposto con nuove tecnologie, prodotti, riorganizzazione delle fabbriche, acquisizioni e fusioni.

La quarta rivoluzione industriale divampava. In Italia, l’occupazione non soffriva numericamente, ma il lavoro si era dequalificato. La fermata del mondo nella primavera del 2020 ha drammatizzato le cose. Sarà difficile per le impres...
