The Fisciano Campus of the University of Salerno will host the annual congress of Aidea, the most prestigious and oldest Italian Academy of Business Economics, established in the early 1800s, with over 800 members – the “Academicians” – mainly university professors of business economics, economics and business management, corporate finance, organization and economics of financial intermediaries, operating in almost all Italian universities. Aidea carries out an intense activity in support of scientific research and the training of scholars.
Thursday at 14, in the Aula Magna of the Campus of Fisciano of the University of Salerno will open the XXXV Annual Conference of Aidea, Vincenzo Boccia – Vice President of Confindustria, Raimondo Pasquino – Rector of the University of Salerno, Alessandro Carretta – President of Aidea and many Local Authorities.
Maurizio Zollo, President of Euram, will open the conference with the plenary session on Management without borders. This will be followed by a debate on Italian companies between technological-organizational innovations and international competition, which will involve Alfonso Gambardella, Editor in Chief of the "European Management Review", Giovanni Zanetti from the University of Turin, Michele Tiraboschi from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Vincenzo Boccia, Vice President of Confindustria and President of Piccola Impresa Confindustria, and Carlo Palmieri, Vice President of Pianoforte Holding. The speakers will outline the underlying causes of the mediocre entrepreneurial performance of Italian companies, identifying strategic, organizational and operational innovation as an essential response to the crisis affecting companies, public organizations and third sector bodies.
The round table of the Journal of Management and Governance, coordinated by Roberto di Pietra and Antonella Zucchella, will open the second day of the Conference, framing management beyond borders from a globalization perspective: it will be attended by Peter Buckley of the University of Leeds, Roger Strange of Sussex University and Sabine Urban of the University of Strasbourg, internationally renowned speakers, who is attributed the task of broadening the breadth of the event with a view to internationalisation.
The conference will close with a speech by Jens Dahlgaard, Editor in Chief of the "Total Quality Management and Business Excellence" magazine, as well as Full Professor of Linkoping University: he will combine the theme of management without borders in a framework of maximization of quality and management excellence; his intervention will prompt further reflections on the main problematic nodes that emerged from the academic debates.
