1st “Our Excellence” Report
In recent years, our Institute has drawn up detailed and accurate analyses of some of Italy’s main economic phenomena ( state expenditure and budget, investments and economic growth, taxation and the fight against tax evasion, undeclared work in industry and services and precarious employment, household consumption and savings, stock market values and the protection of small shareholders, poverty and inequality between social classes).
Because of the results of the research carried out, the Institute has often been branded with declinism and pauperism and quite a few economic Solons, together with talented opinion leaders, have accused Eurispes of wanting to pursue – for unconfessed political purposes – the myth of decline at all costs and of “Italian poverty”. The truth was and is now visible to all and shows that Eurispes is not and has never been pauperist or declinist, but has always described the economic and social reality of the Country.
Thanks also to the regional offices located throughout the territory, which are true avant-garde sensors, the Institute has often found itself dealing with productive experiences of excellence, with the capacity for enterprise of old and young captains of industry and with the organisational wisdom of public and private managers grappling with budgetary difficulties and resistance to organisational change.
Hence the idea that it would be appropriate to examine these aspects in greater depth by selecting and studying those cases of success. Such cases, in terms of history, company mission, capacity for process and product innovation and the quality of organisational processes, have particularly characterised Italy’s most recent economic history. The main production areas and the most significant entrepreneurial, institutional and associative experiences in Italy were monitored, and 100 cases were identified. However, the Report on Excellence could include hundreds, thousands of other cases that continually add lustre and prestige to the Country’s system.
The 100 cases selected are just a metaphor for a Country that works, despite the difficulties of the economic cycle, organisational and cultural delays, and the constraints of a bureaucracy that often disperses vital energies and slows down the drive for change, reducing development opportunities.
