    The book analyzes the ways of growth that can be undertaken by multibusiness-type companies, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of the multiple alternatives, the resources, and capabilities necessary to support these paths, as well as the numerous pitfalls not to be underestimated. For this reason, the volume represents a useful tool, a reference benchmark, also for micro and small business entrepreneurs interested in starting development paths, often unavoidable in the current globalized context of the digital economy, to increase the chances of long-term survival

    The book faces the topic of uncertainty that affects the economy. The social unrest, the pandemic, and the effects of climate change are features of this time when small businesses must operate. But how can small companies react and control external factors? It is the question that authors try to answer. This book distinguishes itself with a multidisciplinary approach, combining research and practitioner perspectives

    The book provides food for thought and illustrates operational tools to face the generational shift, a particularly critical phase that involves and puts family businesses at risk. The first part of the work focuses attention on the peculiarities of family businesses and on the factors that can influence business continuity in the long term. Additionally, the critical issues of the succession process are analyzed, the phases of this process, and the protagonists, as well as the role of consultants, as privileged subjects in close contact with entrepreneurs who could effectively support the generational change. The second part is dedicated to success stories, that is, to stories of small and medium-sized enterprises or professional firms that have been able to deal with the generational shift, even taking the opportunity of succession to start an evolutionary path

    La sicurezza alimentare per le imprese italiane dell’agrifood: barriere, driver e benefici percepiti

    No full text
    Il presente lavoro si propone di indagare l’approccio delle imprese italiane del settore manifatturiero agroalimentare alla sicurezza alimentare. Dall’analisi empirica emerge che la sicurezza alimentare è sinonimo di tutela della salute, ed è parte integrante dei valori e della strategia delle imprese del campione. Le pratiche e gli strumenti impiegati per sviluppare la sicurezza alimentare creano coerenza con i valori del vertice aziendale e migliorano l’immagine e la reputazione dell’impresa, determinando vantaggi competitivi significativi. Gli ostacoli alla diffusione delle pratiche della sicurezza alimentare sono riconducibili alla mancanza di risorse, di tipo finanziario, tecnologico, relazionale ed umano, da destinare a tale finalità, e alla carenza di conoscenze, informazioni e competenze tra coloro che presiedono ai processi decisionali

    A unified short-cut model approach to size safe venting stacks and other blow-off devices for hazardous vapours

    No full text
    Starting from a general model regarding the atmospheric dispersion of upward-directed high velocity releases, a unified short-cut method is developed for properly designing flares, vents and other safety devices for hazardous material releases and/or to verify the adequacy of the existing ones. By comparison with the design constraints arising from the prevention and protection criteria against the risk of ignition, explosion and exposure of people to radiating heat and/or toxic compounds, the proposed procedure directly gives size, height and location of the venting system as a function of significant release characteristics. A way of economical optimisation is also considered in flare design, where raising the emission also increases the safe areas available to workers
