THROUGH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
2013
The goal of sustainable development is one of the most actual and stringent desideratum equally declaimed and assumed nowadays at all of the society’s levels – by individuals (politicians, academics, and civil society militants), organizations (firms as well as non-for-profit organizations of any kind) and authorities (local, national, regional, global). This goal offers to each one of them the opportunity to act responsible (through corporate social responsibility policies and practices developed by their management) but also the threat of falling into the trap of not reaching the global (sustainable) competitiveness that each one of them dreams about; so, it depends only on each and all o…
Modeling Employee Satisfaction in Relation to CSR Practices and Attraction and Retention of Top Talent
2013
In today's economy, companies must work harder than ever to attract, retain and motivate talented employees in order to foster employee satisfaction, and in order to do so, CSR practices can provide a strategic tool. A green company no longer denotes solely the promotion of green products or reduction of energy consumption, as it has to incorporate proactive and innovative means of tracking sustainability while involving employees in such corporate behavior. This paper highlights an empirical study of responses from 10 multinational companies regarding their corporate social responsibility initiatives as a way to attract and retain good employees, while providing an appropriate environment …
Il diritto di recesso nelle società c.d. benefit
2020
This essay will examine legislations on benefit corporations across Europe and the US, through a focus on whether or not elections by a corporation – or any other entity – to become a social purpose corporation or to cease to be one entail the arising of a right to withdraw on dissenting shareholders. Starting with the analysis of the legal framework, which applies to operations such as conversions from a for-profit corporation to a benefit corporation or the other way around, the essay will investigate their effects on the right to withdraw of dissenting shareholders both on unincorporated business entities and on corporations.
CAUSE RELATED MARKETING – TRUE HEART-FELT CORPORATE BENEVOLENCE?
2011
Nowadays, globally, consumers’ expectations have reached a new high, as they expect companies to act responsibly in changing the world. More than often these expectations are not met solely out of the kindness and generosity of corporations, but they are mixed in with corporate social responsibility programs and cause-related marketing. Consumers want more of the products and services they buy to support worthy social and environmental issues.
ARGUMENTS FOR CSR-BASED SUSTAINABLE COMPETITIVENESS OF MULTINATIONALS IN EMERGING MARKETS (PART II)
2015
The (two parts of the) paper aims to bring into discussion the case of CSR-based sustainable competitiveness of multinationals in emerging market economies, through an interdisciplinary approach (international business and strategic management) applied to a multilevel analysis (country and company). The main conclusion of the paper is that, despite the circumstances that nowadays characterize international business in general and the emerging market economies in particular, such a transformation in business models is not only desirable, but mandatory. Key arguments in favor of this assumption are found (both theoretically and empirically) at global/general level and, as well, at the emergin…

The theorical and historical evolution of firm Accounting: Premises for a generalist approach to Reporting
2019
With the transposition into national laws of Directive 2014/95/UE on disclosure of non- financial information by large companies, the social and environmental responsibility has taken on new significance in the recent accounting debate. This paper moves in particular from the develop- ments of that topic in Italian Ragioneria and in French Comptabilité coming to propose a generalist approach to the business reporting embracing both kinds of information, financial and not financial. From an historical point of view the theme of social and environmental responsibility has been pro- gressively developed in the twentieth century on Italian and French research getting more and more importance. C…
Long-termism e short-termism nella ricerca di strategie di sostenibilità
2021
The focus of legislators, authorities and academics on the temporal dimension of sus-tainable actions has led to the progressive re-emerge of the contrast between long-termism and short-termism, that is frequent indeed in corporate law. The orientation to long-term decisions and attempts to stem the short-term ones have been a main point of recent legislative measures on this topic. This paper aims to critically re-evaluate the above contrast, highlighting some of the most relevant areas that most need regulatory interventions and suggesting abandon-ing the frequent short-term disfavor.
Intellectual evolution of strategic management and its relationship with ethics and social responsibility
2006
The main purpose here is to present an overview of the historical development of strategic management, through a critical review of the most relevant theoretical proposals, and to consider its links to ethics and corporate social responsibilities. From the very beginning of strategic management thought attempts have been made to fuse ethical aspects such as values of senior management or social values or social expectations to strategic management. More recently the stakeholder view of the firm has permitted the introduction of ethical theories into strategic management, and the resources-based view of the firm has lead to the consideration of competences, including moral virtues. Here it i…
L’etichettatura di sostenibilità nel settore vitivinicolo
2022
Nel settore vitivinicolo la sostenibilità e la sua comunicazione al consumatore per mezzo dell’etichettatura, nel rispetto della normativa in materia, ha assunto una crescente rilevanza, anche in ragione delle pressanti esigenze ambientali e climatiche che costringono ad un ripensamento in chiave digitale di sistemi e tecniche di produzione, in un’ottica di ottimizzazione e preservazione delle risorse naturali. Partendo da una preliminare riflessione circa il significato giuridico del termine “sostenibile”, il contributo si sofferma su come il legame tra iniziativa imprenditoriale, sviluppo di innovative tecnologie digitali, ricerca di nuovi spazi di mercato e sicurezza giuridica abbia anc…
