Re-thinking news: Information design and “antibody” contents
2022
Rethinking news and producing quality (“antibody”) contents as a remedy against the rampant proliferation of fake news (and the related erosion of democracy), starting from the values and approaches shared by the worlds of design and journalism can be - and certainly are - an effective and interesting way forward. The fertile confluence of the body of knowledge (and know-how) of these two disciplines has already produced excellent results, starting with design-driven experiments tried and tested in several significant experiences in Italy and abroad. As Paolo Ciuccarelli stated, “once again, designers as ‘meaning makers’ find today in the narrative of the world of the infosphere a design gr…
Assessing the Economy for the Common Good Measurement Theory Ability to Integrate the SDGs into MSMEs
2020
Over the past decades, sustainability and corporate sustainability have gained a lot of attention. Currently, the focus of attention has shifted to the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into businesses operation. The extant literature points to the proposed frameworks as not fitting micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) reality and, also, to a lack of empirical evidence in this field. With research at the intersection of business and SDGs still being scarce, the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) model allows operationalizing the SDGs employing its novel measurement theory. The present study is aimed at completing the statistical validation process of the EC…
Teaching the Sensitive Stuff: Does Industry Matter? Issues in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability
2015
In this chapter, Teaching the sensitive stuff: Does industry matter? Issues in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability, Harald Knudsen and Alessandro Frigerio discuss the relation between business behaviour and morality. It is a provocative chapter that makes important links with CSR debates. The message on the core themes of Higher Education and Sustainability lies in making students aware of how misuse of power and influence can develop within businesses. The chapter argues against a theoretical approach that assumes that the market functions equally well in all situations. Rather, experience shows that industry matters.
On Sustainable Management in Local Governance of Water: a Prospective Localized Study
2006
In the face of the changes in the planet's natural resources and of their unequal distribution, it is becoming more urgent that contemporary societies oversee environmental assets in a global manner. Although international directives, when they are transposed into national laws, may set specific objectives, meeting them at the local level is as yet an uneven enterprise. Nevertheless we hope to demonstrate, using a case-study involving local tensions over water resources, that public management of the crisis may be developed that effectively involves the civic society, by using the incentives and enforcement tools of central government and of local institutions.

Partecipare al bene comune attraverso il Living Lab. Una riflessione sul ruolo della scuola
2022
Le trasformazioni delle dinamiche produttive e sociali caratterizzanti questi ultimi decenni hanno avuto un impatto sui contesti socio-economici, oggi contrassegnati da globalizzazione, pervasività delle tecnologie e allentamento delle reti relazionali. Il mutamento dei processi di socializzazione, organizzazione e partecipazione alla costruzione del bene comune ha comportato una crescente disaffezione dell’uomo nei confronti della polis. Difronte ad un siffatto scenario, la scuola è chiamata a sviluppare concrete pratiche che promuovano negli alunni e nella collettività consapevolezza della propria agentività e senso di appartenenza, elementi fondanti della partecipazione attiva alla vita …
Gli aspetti fiscali delle attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni a fini di interesse generale.
2017
E’ possibile attribuire un riconoscimento, una legittimazione ed una regolamentazione giuridica all'opera prestata dai privati nell'attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni di interesse comune? La leva fiscale può essere considerata come strumento per favorire lo sviluppo di queste attività? Alla prima domanda possiamo rispondere che il concetto, oggi in evoluzione, di sussidiarietà orizzontale, sembra essere lo strumento più idoneo per inquadrare giuridicamente le azioni di privati cittadini che volontariamente decidono di prendersi cura di beni comuni ai più diversi livelli (beni immobili o mobili concernenti il patrimonio artistico/culturale o, più in generale, fruibili da una collettiv…
Connecting Sustainability Organizational Models with SDGs
2023
The scientific works have been divided into 10 chapters. Hence, each chapter deeper analyzes the conference’s main topic. Thus, focusing on the study of the social dimension of sustainability from the human resource management point of view, several studies analyze its influence on social performance, as well as its consideration when applying quality management principles and practices as a driver to the social dimension of the organization since these practices could lead to the development of a sustainable orientation. Additionally, it is also important to analyze how work-family conflict and professional stress among financial workers and their relationships levers to burnout syndrome. …
A different role of taxation. Using fiscal leverage as an incentive to foster regeneration of common goods and improve the performance of public gove…
2019
The paper analysis the possibility of using fiscal leverage as an incentive to foster policy of regeneration of common goods. Regeneration of urban goods and spaces not only shows some points in common with the so-called circular economy, but – trough the role played by private citizens who, by substituting or collaborating with public administrations, participate in reuse of goods and urban spaces – may also be considered as an efficient example of public and private cooperation, aiming to improve the level of well-being of the community. Thus, it may be argued that regeneration and taxation have an, at least partially, coinciding aim. Both pursue a general interest: regeneration in a most…
