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.

Research as Response

2010

In this article research is viewed as a response to a questioning from outside. Knowledge develops in steps, each step understood as a response to the questioning of the previous step.

The content of this responsibility depends on the discourse in question. In business management the responsibility…
