[Veronica Lenzi]

Thank you Paolo for this place where we have the opportunity to share our ideas.

Fabio, I definitely want to do someting for my country. I wouldn't be honest if I said I do not want to obtain a personal success, but le't s be true, success is a very relative word. Should we become great entrpereneurs, or top managers, in the evening we would in any case have to ask ourselves "Am I happy with what I am doing?". That's the big issue, the thing which make us say "that's interesting!", the flame inside most people here talked about.

I am rapidly writing, since I have to leave the office: I am now in Brussels for a short stage and I have the opportunity to observe from a close view the phenomeno of lobbies, specifically industrial ones. I would come on the topic next week.

Enjoy the week-end!

Tks for your contribution Veronica...we wait for your thinking!
"to do something for my country" is a great goal.... I feel the same

During these conferences I noticed, and I admire it, the passion which has characterized every companies that we have met. In future I hope to have the same love for my work, the same soddisfation when, maybe, I'll show it to other people.... Every companies have surprised me.... Marchesini group for its business and its expansion in the world , G.D. for its evolution during the years, Bonfiglioli for its ability to be so competitive in the market, Cebora for its change to be a familiar "factory" to be a real company for the Emiliano Generali's will and finally Cedir for its important relantionship with the customer. This experience has enrich me, now I know what can make the difference in a company, or also in other general work: only people's will and care.

Good Sara... to everybody: now that we concluded your conferences , another great topic, Open Innovation...see new post blog and comment straight there....if you want

[antonio]

I have to say , that I don't love at all who is driving our country , but we as economists are used to planning an making decisions based on models...The Confindustria president Marcegaglia made her first confererence , some days ago . She talked about innovation ; an innovation based on an efficient informatic system , and that's not an Italian prerogative , but to be consistent in following an hypothetical model , a large network (ADSL) for everyone could permit people to get closer to each other and exchange information , ideas etc...But informatics are not the only important things . Liberalization is important too , but it is hypothetical , because we all know how influential the important lobbies are for politicians during the election period , and we all know that lobbies support candidates in exchange for market closing...but liberalization could permit our system to take off ...what do you think about that?

[paolo marenco]

Antonio I agree at all...be optimistic? difficult in Italy...this is the reason to work here for a future change...but also looking at the world for your future.

[Maria]

I am agree too, I am not optimistic about working world in Italy at least not now.
I love Italy and I think that Italian young people could be key's success.
We need open our minds, having a 360° grades vision upon the world but we shouldn't escape.
It is not the correct way to improve our country and solve problems,it is true for all kinds of problems, like for example the fight against Mafia.

[Sara]

Yes, interesting is very used, I always use it, but, I ask for me, I don't find another word that has the same or similar meaning. Can you suggest something?

[Maria]

Me too!
I used a simple way to write and I often used the same words.
Sorry!
Suggestions are always welcome.

[Matteo]

Yes Antonio, you're right, I think that people that want to rule our country have not the ideas to change things, because they're just thinking about themselves, to get richer and more powerful. I'm not talking about a specific party, all the sistem is corrupted, we need a radical change, but I'm pretty sceptic that this is gonna happen....

[Petronela]

... then , what do you think of the politics men?
It is true the politics know to criticize all , but it seems that nobody ever knows what to do and just but when you find yourself to be you to make the policy more with your good intentions, all against you or so I think..

[Sara]

I read now that I haven't passed the selection for the Study Tour. I'm very sorry but I'll continue to take part in this forum..... It was a great opportunity but there a lot of chances during the life. This isn't mine. Congratulation to who'll go in Silicon Valley : - ) !
