Download or read book Progettazione del modello di business e sostenibilita analisi delle piccole e medie imprese operanti nel settore vinicolo written by Broccardo Laura and published by G Giappichelli Editore. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il principale obiettivo di questo lavoro è quello di delineare i tratti salienti del modello di business delle aziende operanti nel settore vitivinicolo, con un focus particolare sulla sostenibilità, in quanto, proprio negli ultimi anni e in questo settore, la sostenibilità è stata oggetto di diffuse discussioni. La scelta di analizzare tale settore è dovuta al successo che sta riscuotendo in ambito economico, per via della continua crescita in termini di fatturato e di export. Risulta così interessante comprendere quali sono i vantaggi competitivi e i principali fattori chiave delle aziende che operano nel mondo vino, che, seppur caratterizzate da un profondo radicamento nel territorio, rappresentano l’eccellenza italiana in tutto il mondo, con una forte spinta verso l’internazionalizzazione. Va precisato che l’oggetto del presente studio, non sono tutte le aziende operanti nel settore vitivinicolo, ma le imprese di piccole e medie dimensioni, privilegiando le imprese costituite sotto forma di persone giuridiche, che per la totalità sono composte da imprese private. La scelta di analizzare le aziende di piccole e medie dimensione è giustificata dal fatto che tali aziende sono quelle realtà che meglio rappresentano tale settore. Conseguentemente non sono stati considerati i consorzi e le società cooperative, benché tali realtà stiano crescendo nel panorama vinicolo, in quanto costituite per svolgere solo alcune delle attività aziendali. Inoltre la scelta di considerare solo le aziende costituite sotto forma di persone giuridiche è dovuta al fatto che le suddette aziende presentano una disponibilità di dati pubblici superiore a quelle costituite sotto forma di società di persone o impresa individuale, garantendo così maggiori opportunità di analisi e di comprensione dei legami di alcuni elementi con altri, anche per gli effetti sulle performance. Va precisato anche che le aziende vitivinicole considerate sono dette “a ciclo integrato” e pertanto presentano determinate caratteristiche relative ai processi economici: Il processo produttivo può essere scomposto in due principali sub-processi – il processo di produzione dell’uva e il processo di produzione del vino; Il processo di vendita e di distribuzione vede il collocamento del prodotto principale, il vino, sul mercato in via pressoché autonoma, come vino in bottiglia con marchio proprio. Inoltre, tali aziende, nella maggior parte dei casi, sono anche aziende produttrici di vini a denominazione di origine controllata (d.o.c.) , a denominazione di origine controllata e garantita (d.o.c.g.) e a indicazione geografica tipica (i.g.t.). Naturalmente il presente lavoro non vuole essere un’alfabetizzazione del settore vino, ma uno studio, che dopo aver inquadrato le principali dinamiche del settore in cui tali imprese operano, mette in luce le principali peculiarità e criticità gestionali delle aziende oggetto di studio. Il lavoro è strutturato in due parti. La prima parte inizialmente è riferita all’inquadramento generale del settore e tale analisi si fonda sulla lettura e interpretazione dei dati statistici rilevati da istituti operanti nel settore vinicolo e organismi accreditati e talvolta l’analisi è risultata difficile per via della non omogeneità dei dati, in quanto non essendo obbligatori a volte non sono presenti. Questa parte si conclude con l’analisi delle peculiarità dei principali processi operativi delle piccole e medie imprese operanti nel settore, con un focus specifico sulla sostenibilità nelle imprese oggetto di analisi. La seconda parte, attraverso un’analisi empirica, mette in rilievo le peculiarità del modello di business delle piccole e medie imprese analizzate, ponendo l’attenzione sui principali fattori critici di successo in grado di generare valore sia per l’impresa stessa che per la filiera del vino ed evidenziando il crescere dell’importanza dell’aspetto della sostenibilità.

Download or read book Public Purpose written by Mariana Mazzucato and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How governments can spur growth and innovation to solve their greatest challenges—from green energy to national security to building resilient health systems. Known around the world for challenging mainstream economics, economist Mariana Mazzucato believes that “the public sector can and should be a co-creator of wealth that actively steers growth to meet its goals” (The Financial Times). In The Mission-Driven Economy, she calls on governments to create the economies we need today. Mazzucato’s challenge leads off a debate on the revival of Industrial policy—roughly defined as deliberate government action to re(shape) the economy. Industrial policy has fallen out of favor in recent decades as economists defer to free markets to produce innovation and growth. Yet today thinkers across the political spectrum have begun expressing new interest in industrial policy as a way to address the most serious problems of our times: from national security and climate change, to the market’s underfunding of public goods, to sluggish economic growth and labor market dysfunction. Together, contributors make a compelling case for industrial policy—what it is, and why we need it now. Addressing investment, innovation, supply chains, and growth, they offer a robust vision of a renewed industrial policy, and what it can offer the US economy in the face of climate change and a global pandemic.

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Download or read book The Collaborative Enterprise written by Antonio Tencati and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive economics produces an enormous abundance of goods and services but at an intolerable environmental and social cost. Competition has become an end in itself, which leads to detrimental effects on nature, society and future generations. A change of paradigm is needed. Business should respect the ecological and social limits in which it operates and embed its activities in the natural and social systems. This book promotes a collaborative attitude of doing business based on a positive view of the self and others. Theoretical contributions, reflections, cases, examples, and initiatives collected in the book show that a collaborative enterprise is not only possible but also a feasible and desirable alternative to the current, self-defeating, managerial models. Innovative firms seeking to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with all of their stakeholders while producing values for their business ecosystems represent well-grounded hopes for a really sustainable future.

Download or read book The Ecosocial Transition of Societies written by Aila-Leena Matthies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book both explains and expands the growing debate on ecological (environmental) social work at the global level. In order to achieve this, the book strengthens the environmental paradigm in social work and social policy by undertaking further research on theoretical and conceptual clarification as well as distinct reflections on its practical directions. Divided into five parts: concepts; the impact of environmental crises; sustainable communities and lifestyles; food politics; and the profession in transition, this work’s main objective is to place ecological social work as a part of the more comprehensive and interdisciplinary eco-social transition of societies towards sustainability, balancing economic and social development with the limited resources of the natural environment. By focussing on these five core concepts, it shows how social work and social policy contribute to this transition through having a research-based approach and orientation on solutions rather than problem analysis. The book will be of interest to scholars from a broad range of disciplines, including those in social work and social policy, sustainability, economics, agriculture and environmental studies.

Download or read book Cybernetics and Systems written by Sergio Barile and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society is now facing challenges for which the traditional management toolbox is increasingly inadequate. Well-grounded theoretical frameworks, such as systems thinking and cybernetics, offer general level interpretation schemes and models that are capable of supporting understanding of complex phenomena and are not impacted by the passage of time. This book serves the knowledge society to address the complexity of decision making and problem solving in the 21st century with contributions from systems and cybernetics. A multi-disciplinary approach has been adopted to support diversity and to develop inter- and trans-disciplinary knowledge within the shared thematic of problem solving and decision making in the 21st century. Its conceptual thread is cyber/systemic thinking, and its realisation is supported by a wide network of scientists on the basis of a highly participative agenda. The book provides a platform of knowledge sharing and conceptual frameworks developed with multi-disciplinary perspectives, which are useful to better understand the fast changing scenario and the complexity of problem solving in the present time.
