Career Builders
The right steps for building your career, business strategies for developing human capital, Bocconi research in this delicate sector, the point of view of HR. All this is in the cover story for the first 2021 issue of viaSarfatti25. Dedicated to career development, it includes input from Silvia Bagdadli, Tracy Anderson, Gabriella Bagnato, Laura Baruffaldi, Cassandra Chambers, Maurizio Del Conte, Thomas Le Barbanchon and Ekaterina Netchaeva, as well as two alumnae, Paola Boromei (Snam) and Monica Possa (Generali).
And the focus goes beyond career topics: in the issue's sixty pages, the Bocconi School of Law is also described through a long interview with its Dean Pietro Sirena and the stories of 10 of the School's graduates, who today are working in Italy and around the world in various professions, as attorneys, judges and academics.
The Bocconi community continues to be featured in an interview with Silvia Candiani, who began in her role as President of the Bocconi Alumni Community a few months ago. The alumna and CEO of Microsoft Italy told us how innovation is changing the world and what role it plays in keeping a community together in such a delicate moment as a pandemic.
Innovation – in research, in points of view and in perspectives – is also the basis of many of the editorials that Bocconi professors have written for this issue of viaSarfatti25. Like Nilanjana Dutt's article on the topic of female entrepreneurship in startups, or Francesco Giavazzi and Gaia Rubera's on the relationship between the use of Twitter and the polarization of political language. Or the editorial by Kerim Can Kavakli on the costs and benefits of international sanctions and Alessandro Minichilli and Annalisa Prencipe's on the impact of giving one's own name to a company (with an interview with Enrico Falck, alumnus and Chair of Falk Renewables).
There are also analyses by Elena Carletti and Filippo De Marco on bank deposits, and Alexia Delfino's on the profound values that inspire bankers. Francesco Decarolis and Alessia Melegaro contributed with thoughts on subjects that recently garnered them two European Research Council Consolidator Grants.
Finance is another topic of interest, with a piece by Stefano Rossi on quantitative trading strategies, an article by Stefano Caselli on the role of finance in this historical moment and an interview with alumnus Guido Vesin, founder of the Antares Fund.
Rounding out the issues is a look at Covid-19 research, with a summary of eight new studies by Bocconi professors (Chiara Fumagalli, Massimo Magni, Paola Profeta, Alessandro Romano, Guido Tabellini, Rosanna Tarricone, Veronica Toffolutti, Alex Turrini), and an interview with one of the international authors published by the Egea publishing house: Andrew McAfee discusses his latest work.
