Politica industriale e cambiamenti strutturali: la via cinese alla crescita
No full textIl 2018 ha segnato un importante anniversario per la Cina: la celebrazione dei 40 anni
dall’avvio delle riforme economiche promosse da Deng Xiaoping. La politica della Porta Aperta
ha rappresentato il motore dello sviluppo industriale, sociale ed istituzionale della Cina. Il
processo si è evoluto nel tempo ed ha assunto connotati ed obiettivi sempre più complessi ed
ambiziosi, passando per la politica del Go Global, fino ad arrivare al sogno cinese del nuovo
millennio ed alla corsa all’innovazione. Il percorso di industrializzazione in Cina è stato posto
a guida e volano di una transizione vasta dell’economia e del Paese, abbracciando anche le
istituzioni e la società. Indubbiamente il processo è ancora incompleto, su diversi fronti, tanto
è che il nuovo set di politiche lanciate negli ultimi tempi (dal New Normal, al Made in China
L’industria / n.s., a. XXXIX, n. 4, ottobre-dicembre 2018
2025, alla Belt and Road Initiative) sta stimolando un’ulteriore transizione «epocale», in parte
voluta dalla Cina, in parte indotta dalle pressioni internazionali. Riflettere sulle lezioni che
possiamo trarre dal caso «cinese», per quanto esso sia peculiare e difficilmente replicabile, è
sicuramente importante sia alla luce del ruolo ricoperto oggi dalla Cina, quale attore economico,
sia in funzione degli sviluppi attesi del suo programma di crescita, che include un ruolo
decisamente diverso – di primo piano – anche in termini geo-politici internazionali. Da ciò ne
possono derivare considerazioni utili per capire quali opzioni si schiudono all’occidente, ed
all’Europa in particolare. Inoltre, il caso cinese contribuisce al dibattito circa l’utilità e l’opportunità
dell’intervento dello Stato in economi
Humanism and innovation in the global world: challenges for universities and the transformation of the labour market
No full textNowadays, the challenges (and opportunities) brought by digitalization are
creating new research and innovation paradigms, showing the extent to
which interconnections between science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) and social sciences and humanities (SSH) disciplines are
crucial to develop sustainable human-centred solutions (Schildermans, 2022).
Digitalization is becoming a subject of interest across heterogeneous, but complementary
fields of knowledge.
Humanism, as a philosophical and ethical standpoint, has been instrumental
in shaping the understanding of the value of human beings and their potential.
It emphasizes the importance of individual autonomy, critical thinking, and
the pursuit of knowledge. Indeed, in the context of a complex and highly
interconnected world, humanism continues to serve as a compass, guiding the
implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) and
artificial intelligence (AI) advancements

Managing corporate sustainability and responsibility efficiently: a review of existing literature on business groups and networks
Full text linkGiven the global relevance of business groups (BG) and networks as efficient organizational forms for corporate sustainability and responsibility systems (CSR), and seeing that management control systems (MCS) play a pivotal role in transmitting authority to CSR and formalizing a sustainability organizational culture, this paper aims to review the available literature in order to investigate efficient adoptions of CSR by BGs or networks. Both organizational forms have positive effects on CSR development, on three levels: (a) setting industry standards (macro-external environment); (b) stimulating sustainability-oriented innovations (mezzo-member firms); (c) reputational gains, CSR expenses mitigation, and optimization of organizational capabilities (micro-individual SMEs). The studies on SMEs were useful in identifying current sustainability practices: both partial (social, environmental) and complete sustainability systems were susceptible to being integrated with management accounting, making them an almost implicit tool for proper CSR. Finally, by gathering the empirical literature on sustainability transitions of networks and groups, it was possible to trace a comprehensive introductory plan that operators could resort to for initial guidance. The six steps of this process are (1) project initiation, (2) preliminary actions, (3) change management decision, (4) firm-level activities, (5) auditing, (6) transition to territorial social responsibility (optional)
The healthcare industry and the role of China
No full textBackground: Globalization is becoming a key issue for healthcare sector and China seems to gain an increasing role. Increased foreign direct investments (fdis) to and from China reveals
the creation of global value chains in the healthcare industry, with opportunities and challenges for both host and home countries.
Objective: To investigate the motivations and factors that influence Chinese investments location choice in the healthcare sector in Europe, as well as its potential impact on European

and regional factors) affecting location choice of Chinese investments in Europe in the healthcare sector.
Results Healthcare quality in both home and host countries has negative effects on Chinese ofdis. Chinese healthcare firms are attracted to countries with well-established institutions.
Population structure and full-time employees in both home regions and host countries significantly affect Chinese ofdis, but with different signs between home regions and host countries. The technological level of host country is an important factor in attracting Chinese healthcare firms.
Conclusions The country endowments, institutions and sectoral specificity of both home and host countries are shaping the location choice by Chinese healthcare firms in eu. Chinese
firms are not only market-seekers, but also strategic-asset-seekers. Policy implications are relevant and call for coordination of local industrial and promotion policies of European countries,
also considering the potential impact of Chinese fdi on the access to health professionals’ talents and health technologies
