Corporate governance
Il dibattito sulla corporate governance si è per lungo tempo concentrato sul fenomeno della separazione tra proprietà e controllo che caratterizza le grandi public company anglosassoni. Secondo questa «impostazione ristretta», il buon governo delle imprese si ottiene progettando un consiglio di amministrazione in grado di guidare il comportamento dei manager verso la massimizzazione del valore azionario. In questo lavoro si adotta una «impostazione allargata» secondo cui: la corporate governance assume rilevanza in tutti i tipi di imprese; il management deve considerare gli interessi che convergono nell’impresa; il consiglio di amministrazione e numerosi altri processi contribuiscono a incentivare un’efficiente creazione e un’equa distribuzione di valore tra i vari stakeholder. Seguendo questa impostazione, la prima parte introduce il tema della corporate governance, presentando le teorie e i modelli che permettono di comprenderlo e di analizzarlo con padronanza. La seconda parte descrive i principali sistemi capitalistici e analizza i principali meccanismi di corporate governance nelle imprese italiane e straniere di grandi dimensioni.
A Primer on Corporate Governance
Annotation This book will provide a comprehensive insight of the characteristics and development of corporate governance in Italy. Both the external institutional mechanisms, such as the codes of best practices and the mandatory auditor rotation, and the internal corporate governance devices, such as boardsâe(tm) structure and composition and director compensation, will be analyzed. In particular, this book is presented to provide the reader an insight on the ownership structure and the control enhancement mechanisms adopted by the Italian dominant shareholders as well as the typical - and unique - two tier-board structure, with a board of directors and a board of statutory auditors, that is widely adopted among Italian companies. This book reveals that while corporate governance in Italy has - to some extent - converged towards other European and international models, there are certain core features that remain (and are likely to do so in the near future as well) and their knowledge and understanding is relevant to investors and other stakeholders.
The Value Creating Board

Family Business: Building a sustainable future
This work commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Italian Association of Family Enterprises (AIDAF). It does not adopt a retrospective perspective, nor is it a historical account. It is an essay about the future, taking the form of a dialogue between family businesses and the Italian academic community, combining scholarly rigor with pragmatism. It provides tangible points of reflection aimed at constructing and subsequently preserving the continuity and sustainability of the family-enterprise system. The dialogue is composed of twenty-five letters and their corresponding responses, organized into five sections: family, ownership, youth, business, and sustainability....
The Cooperative Business Movement, 1950 to the Present
The United Nations declared 2012 the year of cooperatives, emphasizing that there is an alternative to privately owned firms. While greed and mismanagement have caused world financial and economic crises, co-ops offer another type of business for economic activities that is less exposed to aggressive capitalism. This book provides a problem-oriented overview of the development of cooperatives over the last fifty years. The global study addresses the major challenges cooperatives face, such as the organizational innovations introduced to acquire necessary risk-capital and implement growth-related strategies, the wave of demutualization in developed nations and their ability to construct an original consumer politics. The contributors to this volume discuss the successes and failures of the cooperatives and ask whether they are an outdated model of enterprise. They document a wave of foundations of new co-ops, new forms of collaboration between them and a growing trend toward globalization.
