Looking back over the magazine’s first thirty years

Between 1988 and 2018 Economia & Management changed, reflecting the changing socio-economic context of Italy, its publishers, its directors. What changed was the subject matter covered, but not the importance placed on businesses and on the management of all institutions. As a “bridge journal” spanning academia and practice, connected with a business school, Economia & Management contributes to managerial discourse by feeding the fads, cycles and fashions that shape that discourse.
