Tähän etnografiseen tutkimukseen on haastateltu seitsemää pitopalveluosuuskunnan jäsentä Addis Abebassa, Etiopiassa. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan haastateltavien pääasiallisia puutteen ja huolen aiheita, ja heidän henkilökohtaisia selviytymisstrategioitaan urbaanissa köyhyydessä. Kuinka ihmiset määrittelevät ja kokevat erilaiset päivittäiset puutteen ja huolen aiheensa? Mitä voimavaroja haastateltavat voivat käyttää selviytyäkseen urbaanissa köyhyydessä? Olen kytkenyt haastateltavien narratiivit Etiopiassa ja Addis Abebassa parhaillaan käynnissä olevaan yhteiskunnalliseen muutokseen hyödyntäen sekä haastatteluaineistoa että kirjallisuutta liittyen muun muassa urbaanin köyhyyden diskurssin ke…

Corporate Social Irresponsibility and Competitive Advantage: Lessons from Parmalat’s Turnaround

2012

The large number of scandals which rocked the corporate world since the end of the twentieth century have fueled a considerable body of research regarding the factors which drove companies to adopt socially irresponsible behaviors and the institutional remedies which may discourage the repetition of such episodes. Today, the time lag since the initial upsurge of corporate scandals allows to shift attention towards the post-scandal turnaround processes brought about by such companies and the factors which influence their performance. Through the in-depth longitudinal study of a particularly successful turnaround which occurred at Parmalat and its comparison with other partially overlapping c…

I servizi socio-educativi nell’era del digitale. Sfide e opportunità

2022

The pandemic has played a catalyst role in the digitization processes of services and relationships between professionals and people, highlighting the existence of a "minimum technological vital" (Campedelli, Toc-cafondi and Vignani, 2021) which can draw the line between social inclusion and exclusion. The measures introduced to deal with the spread of the virus have imposed rapid transformations and, in just a few weeks, digital technologies have been integrated into all aspects of professional life, showing positive and negative effects (Lopez et al., 2020) . The introduction of numerous platforms, the use of which has exploded during the quarantine, has provided previously overlooked, if…

REDUCING SOCIAL STRATIFICATION VIA DIGITAL SKILLS IMPROVEMENT: THE CASE OF SOCIAL ENTERPRISES IN LATVIA

2021

Latvian social enterprises and social entrepreneurship are becoming important since the adoption of the Social Enterprise Law in 2017 (effective as of 01.04.2018).

Sulla legittimazione del curatore della società fallita ad agire contro il socio unico per far valere la sua responsabilità personale e illimitata

2021

In mancanza di una previsione normativa espressa, rimane tuttora controverso se il curatore di una società di capitali fallita (e, in futuro, in liquidazione giudiziale) sia attivamente legittimato a far valere, nell’interesse della massa dei creditori, la responsabilità personale e illimitata del socio unico per le obbligazioni sorte nel momento in cui le azioni o quote risultavano concentrate in unica mano, o se, invece, tale legittimazione competa esclusivamente e individualmente a ciascun creditore sociale, al di fuori della procedura concorsuale. In lack of a specific legislation, it is still disputed whether the official receiver of a limited company in bankruptcy (and, in the future,…

DIGITALIZATION OF ADULT EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT

2021

Modern society has entered a new century in the process of increasing global change, among which human changes and their development sharply lag behind the changes in the techno-economic sphere.

The article describes digital adult education as a factor in improving national human capital, its direct impact on human development as a whole, and as an employee. It also shows Ukraine's place in the human capital index of countries, which includes education as one of the rating points. With the changing nature of work, som…
