Italy’s economic leadership

The volume Chi guida l’economia contains a study of a statistics survey on private and public sector leadership with particular attention to Aspen Institute Italia members who are also part of Italy’s Entrepreneurs Association and the Public Administration Management School. Positive and negative aspects of the Italian economic leadership emerged from this study which includes a substantial uniformity in the education and competency of private and public managers, the lack of internationalization and a limited presence of female figures in roles of high responsibility. The study was also given a European dimension with somewhat surprising results and includes comments by important figures from the Italian economic and political worlds.
