Big data and big data analytics’ (BDA) importance for business management is growing at an unmatched pace. Such datasets, and the techniques to analyse them, are indeed able to inundate organizations with huge quantities of precious information. Building on this premise, the purpose of this research is to develop a unitary holistic framework on the strategic impact of big data on large organizations. In order to do so, a cognitive map was developed from a coding analysis of 523 job offers on the European labour market coming from 124 large organizations. The results show the effects of big data and BDA on marketing strategies, strategic business intelligence and, finally, operation and supply chain management.

What we have been witnessing for decades is a crisis of the organizations that represent both workers and employers. This paper examines some of the reasons for this situation in light of globalisation, and an increasingly limited State sovereignty which has led to its own loss of legitimacy. This paper also explores the changed scenario resulting from internationalisation and offers indications for a different way of organising interests by combing the new demands for identity recognition with the expansion of market borders.

Consumer co-operatives have always embraced the principles of solidarity and collaboration between people, with the ambition to improve the quality of life of poor classes. Therefore, consumer co-operatives can rightly be considered as the first recorded form of socio-economic organization aiming at the search of a primordial sustainability. From the very beginning, the Italian Consumer Co-operatives have been committed to produce good, healthy and safe products at the lowest price on the market and up with new consumer needs.

Global corporations operate today in conditions of highly competitive tension in a context subject to political, social and technological instability. In recent years, the Greek economic crisis of 2009 showed the new basic drivers of global capitalism (Health; Energy; Food; Communication). In global network organisation, the importance of ‘corporate network value’ emerges, and intangible corporate assets (identity, culture, information system) acquire huge importance. The advent of new technologies and the growth of AI offer significant opportunities for creating value not only at business scale but also at societal level. For the future growth of global corporations, the challenge is to conciliate the profitability imperative with a business model compatible with the objective of a sustainable development and in a logic of stakeholders’ engagement.

Uncertainty, crisis and discontinuity induce organizations to show self-renewal and autopoietic capacity to survive and remain viable. This study is aimed at investigating the nexus eventually existing between companies’ resilience and its territory. The focus of the investigation is the field of machine manufacturing and equipment and the unit of analysis are the Italian regions.

Within the 4 th industrial revolution (IR), firms’ linkages to global knowledge are considered key to improving the innovation capabilities and competitiveness of firms embedded in local industrial districts (IDs). So far, most of the analyses have focused on the complementarity and integration between local and global networks, which have somehow over-shadowed the national dimension of production and innovation processes. With special reference to mechatronics producers, recent trends of Italian firms exploit the critical role of national innovation networks for firms within local systems. In this sense, the national dimension plays a key role in defining the quality and direction of the competitive models of ID firms integrating within global value chains.

This paper investigates the implementation of Industry 4.0 systems within the production of fashion luxury goods, drawn by collecting the opinion of managers and perceptions of potential customers. 4.0 technologies can be applied in luxury fashion manufacturing without affecting the quality of the finished product yet customers are negatively inclined towards these technologies. Given the present situation of the fashion industry, which is now more demanding than ever, it would be consequently appropriate to implement these systems without disclosing them to customers.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent to which strategies and business models (BMs) are disclosed in Integrated Reports (IRs). In addition, this paper seeks to understand the reasons for the changes in such disclosures over time. A longitudinal case study focusing on Terna, an Italian listed public utility operating in the electricity sector, is presented. Multiple methods of data collection and analysis were adopted. A content analysis based on the framework of Sukhari and De Villiers (2018) was performed on Terna’s IRs from 2011 to 2017. Interviews were conducted with several managers to integrate the data stemming from the content analysis. The paper opens up the ‘black box’ of corporate strategy disclosures, showing how they can evolve over time. The findings reveal a resistance to fully communicating sensitive corporate information related to strategic goals and their implementatio

Mission statements are crucial corporate communicating tools and have been considered an instrument for the strategic management process. A mission statement has become an important element for managing the organization-stakeholder relationship: such instrument enables companies to more effectively communicate the relevance of each stakeholder in their strategic orientation. The present paper is aimed at investigating the relationship between mission statements and corporate social responsibility. In particular, on the basis on an in-depth study on 193 European firms, we have analyzed if there is really a link between the content of a mission statement related to stakeholders and the CSR and environmental performance of a firm.

The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires a multi-stakeholder approach, calling upon governments, international organizations, nonprofit organizations and companies to act, everyone in its own capacity and within its sphere of influence. In their efforts to adopt an effective sustainability strategy, Lavazza and Lavazza Foundation gave themselves a mission, which is summarized in the so-called “Goal Zero”: spreading the SDGs message to as many stakeholders as they can, by using all possible and efficient ways and means. The article describes how Lavazza’s people and suppliers, as well as young people and local communities, have been involved in an ambitious project to increase knowledge, understanding and achievement of the SDGs. Then, the article focuses on Lavazza’s categorization of the Goals into three levels: Priority, Impacted and Tool Goals.
