Ownership and performance in European big business: the longitudinal perspective
No full textThis chapter assesses the relationship between the prevalent ownership structures of the largest European companies and their performance from a long-term perspective. It explicitly refers to the main analytical frameworks dealing with the subject:
(a) The ‘varieties of capitalism’ approach, which emphasizes the persistence over time of different typologies of capitalist systems and thus of ownership structures generated from different institutional frameworks.
(b) The corporate governance approach, dealing with the models of governance proper of the large corporations—basically the shareholder-value theory and the stakeholder models.
(c) The corporate finance approach, which focuses on the causal relation between ownership structure and performances—an approach going back to Berle and Means’ seminal research.
(d) The ‘strategy–structure–ownership’ approach, which emphasizes the relevance of strategic and structural/organizational variables in determining the outcome in terms of performance—whatever its measure

Il De anima di Aristotele e la rudis expositio aliquorum: una nota sull’ “antitomismo” di fine XIII secolo
No full textIn his De visione beatifica Dietrich of Freiberg criticizes a rude interpretation which some authors (rudis expositio aliquorum) gave on Aristotle’s concept of “nobility,” concerning a passage of De anima’s book III. Since De visione is considered one of the most antithomistic writings of Dietrich of Freiberg, Thomas Aquinas and his followers are usually regarded as the main polemical objective of the German Dominican theologian. However, as he does not explicitly quote Thomas, it is plausible that the expression rudis expositio is related to a broader interpretative context. Starting from these considerations, the author proposes an innovative solution to the problem. In so doing, he introduces a new approach to categories such as “thomism” and “antithomism.

William of Peter of Godin and the Quaestio utrum essentiae rerum creatarum sint ab aeterno (Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, ms. 1590)
No full textUn’analisi approfondita della tradizione manoscritta relativa al secondo li- bro della Lectura Thomasina di Guglielmo di Pietro di Godino (†1336) met- te in luce alcune significative varianti contenute nel manoscritto di Vienna (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek ms. 1590). In modo particolare la prima questione risulta essere differente rispetto a quella trasmessa dagli altri testi- moni: in effetti, laddove essi riportano circa primam distinctionem secundi libri qua- eritur primo utrum mundus possit fuisse ab aeterno, il copista di Vienna scrive quaestio prima est utrum essentiae rerum creatarum sint ab aeterno. Osservando somiglianze e differenze tra i due testi, questo studio tenta di stabilire se Godino sia effettivamente l’autore della quaestio prima di Vienna e se quest’ultima possa essere con- siderata una redazione alternativa del testo trasmesso dagli altri manoscritti.An in-depth analysis of all manuscripts preserving the second book of the Lec- tura Thomasina of the Dominican theologian William of Peter of Godin (†1336) reveals significant variants in Vienna manuscript (Österreichische National- bibliothek ms. 1590). In particular, the first question turns out to be different from the others: whereas all other manuscripts have circa primam distinctionem secundi libri quaeritur primo utrum mundus possit fuisse ab aeterno, the copyist of Vienna writes quaestio prima est utrum essentiae rerum creatarum sint ab aeterno. By comparing these two texts from different points of view, the study attempts to establish whether William of Peter of Godin is effectively the author of the text copied in the Vienna manuscript and whether this text can be included in the Lectura Thomasina’s manuscript tradition as alternative redaction
