The first presenter: Arturo Capasso.

"Strategic Management and Corporate Governance: Good Theories and Bad Practices Across the Atlantic" was the title of the presentation made by Arturo Capasso (presenter) and Giovanni Battista Dagnino, the two organizers of the symposium. The paper primarily relied on the possible integration of the strategic and the governance functions of firms. Looking at the institutional, normative and cultural contexts of firms, the two Authors explained how the strategic and the governance functions can interact and how the relationships path is moderated by firm financing, entrepreneurial endowment and managerial skills. Some longitudinal case studies enriched the research provided by the two Italian Co-Authors.
