LA POLITICA INDUSTRIALE DEL POST-EMERGENZA
SIEPI – Società Italiana di Economia e Politica Industriale
La SIEPI (Società Italiana di Economia e Politica Industriale) ha avviato da qualche giorno una riflessione su ‘LA POLITICA INDUSTRIALE DEL POST-EMERGENZA” ospitando sul suo sito una ampia serie di interventi e approfondimenti. Si pensa ad un concetto esteso di politica industriale che guardi all’impresa e ai settori produttivi, ma anche ai territori, all’organizzazione del lavoro, alle politiche di formazione, alla regolazione, alle procedure amministrative-burocratiche e all’assetto istituzionale dell’Italia e dell’Europa.
