Can You Damge An Acoustic Electric Preamp

Imparare a fare imprese innovative

During a conversation with Professor Fuggetta, it turned out that he often meets with lenders "desperate" because they have no business to invest.

The thing I was very surprised, because as a businessman I know the difficulty of finding a donor of high tech companies that have money to spend and want to spend it.

I made a passing reference to venture capitalists, and we presented a project. Unfortunately, said he was not interested in that kind of business (this was the development of instruments for chemical analysis).

However, at my request gave us a reference to his colleague, who could be interested. And indeed, this financier said that what we proposed within its field of action and would gladly have looked better the project.

We are now preparing a business plan, and we hope it does go on ...

But it was a little 'perplexity.

Maybe what we lack as a country are not so much economic resources (which, apparently, any) nor the skills and entrepreneurs (who apparently are).

What is missing are a number of cases more or less successful, indicating what to do for a microenterprise. When I talk about what to do mica understand complicated things, but just who to call, what to say, what to ask, how to move in case waste, etc ...

For example, a university student
he learned many things from the environment around him (his own colleagues, students in subsequent years) on how to interact with the University.

I feel that this knowledge for entrepreneurs lack "practical", and that each of us has to redo from scratch the same mistakes, it is quite natural that almost everyone will be able to stop before you get to the bottom.

Operation Repo Full Episodes Online

I giovani si devono impegnare di più ?

I was yesterday at a conference in Pisa, in which there was the former Minister of Labour Treu.

Treu One of the things stressed was that the youth of today must do more if they want be able to get a decent place, especially in the study.

Now, it seems to me that the young Italian graduates are on the ball as much as those of other countries, if not more.

The problem is that the reward that awaits them in this country, is quite modest.

Can You Get Melanoma Of The Gums?

A che serves the university? Things that make

On Blog Alfonso Fuggetta a reader complains that universities today are not places where one goes to the pleasure of knowing, but where you learn to do.

I lose the patience to read these statements. They know a lot of wealthy people and wealthy, who can spend four or five years of its existence without having to work only for the "pleasure of learning." It reminds me of the noble English of the nineteenth century, who used the study as a hobby, so the loaf was ensured by other means.

In a modern society we must all make contributions to the development of society (remember the Constitution, Italy is a Republic founded on work). The study should allow us to "do", ie to perform complex tasks better, and in turn contribute to the development of our society.

This does not mean studying only what is immediately usable, in fact. Experience shows that the time spent in the study of the fundamental aspects of a subject, which are naturally more theoretical and less practical, pays for itself many times over the years to follow.

But we can not and must never forget the purpose for which we study. It 'a contempt for people who can not afford to study.

Gold Rate In Singapore

pleasure ....

Two people from the United States have asked us to use a picture from our site OpenFlow, to create it in a book they are writing, and should be released in August. The book is about open source software, and it seems that OpenFlow plays a central role in the affair.

I mean, some mornings you feel even a smart ...

Make a high-tech company in Italy Italy

On this subject I think I can give some ideas, since that is what I have done in recent years as work. Ovviamenete I rely on my point of view, and do not really have any claim to generality. E' attualmente l'unico che posso offire.

Allora, diciamo che sei un giovane studente, magari stai facendo un dottorato di ricerca o un contratto di qualche tipo con l'università.

Molte persone parlano di innovazione, di come non ci siano imprese che vogliano innovare, di come l'Italia vada male come paese perchè manca la ricerca e l'innovazione. E tu, che sei bravo e appassionato di tecnologia, ti dici che tu la tecnologia innovativa la conosci.

Molti spiegano che è colpa dei giovani, che non hanno voglia di rischiare, di mettersi in discussione, di provare strade nuove. E tu, giovane e idealista, ti senti chiamato in causa, ti sembra di non stare facendo abbastanza.

Leggi Then the reports of new births in other countries on technology projects, which generated employment and wealth. And you say that, after all, you're no worse off, you've known to those of other countries and did you consider these genes.

Well, believe him. And maybe waste a more or less safe, or a possible academic career, and you sit in your head that you want to become an entrepreneur. We are risks in all of your savings, and feel.

Then you find some little funny things.

The first is that in Italy no one appreciates innovation. First of all do not understand why (in the literal sense of the word: we are a country with an ignorance of the third world), then why are convinti che non gli serva, e che tanto i soldi li fanno in altri modi.

La seconda è che in Italia non esiste il capitale di rischio per l'innovazione. Nessuno ci mette soldi nella tua azienda, a patto che tu non sia un figlio di papà straraccomandato. Insomma, se non hai soldi nessuno ti da soldi. Molto meglio fare palazzi.

La terza è che tutti quelli che ti hanno parlato di fare innovazione sono in posti superprotetti e superblindati, dentro nicchie di mercato in cui tu non potresti entrare mai. Con stipendi e pensioni garantite, e diritti inalienalibili. E questa è una botta che fa' piuttosto male, perchè ti senti un fesso che ha provato a salvare il mondo, seguendo il grido "Armiamoci e partite" e tu sei party.

The fourth is that Italy has no culture of how to make the high-tech companies, and you are using to understand it. Sure, there are talented entrepreneurs who have been successful, but there was no common culture or models on how to do these things. Are you that you have to go find them and find out.

The fifth is that even your knowledge, the one from which you started to do business, it is often unusable. Because those who taught you had no familiarity with the practice by which that theory is derived. So you have to find out what is the practice, see if the theory is adequate and appropriate to modify it to Rendel.

The sixth (and last) is that Italy is not ready to address the key feature of an innovative company: the failure. The high tech companies are naturally more prone to failure than others pity that in Italy the law on bankruptcy is still at the time of the "brick and bolt." The result is that in addition to having thrown overboard your "golden years", is likely to spend the rest of life to pay the debts that you did.

But there are other ways, these fortunately most fun.

The first is that you can make something true. True in the sense that there is a project that is used to obtain financing; true in the sense that it is not an article about a futile search for a career to be published. True in the sense that you've accomplished something that someone finds it useful, and uses it at work every day to improve their craft.

The second is that after all you can do the same things they do in other countries. There is a big difference to work in Italy or the United States (at least, if developments in open source software). And you discover that you are worse than others, and indeed can even be better.

This discovery, for me, was exciting. It is perhaps the only reason I still want to keep doing this work.

Swatch Evpatoria Report

Why not innovate?

Because in Italy we are afraid of challenging the status quo.

Today all the Italian ruling class and technological research indicates innovation as the means to overcome the difficulties of our economy. The applicant's argument is that Italian companies are not competitive because they have not innovated in the past. Therefore, to enable our business to sopravvirere, you must stimulate the most innovation.

Now, I'm not saying that these actions are wrong. Surely help our businesses to be more competitive, and CONSET to better survive changes in the global economy. However, from my point of view, have little to do with innovation in general, little will help our economy and absorb little energy and economic policies that are still there to this country.

The error of reasoning is that existing businesses have a value to be preserved as such. But a company should be preserved only if it is able to produce wealth, and after, it is right that it disappears, and that resources invested in it are invested in a new company. It 's the famous "creative destruction", often cited by economists, indicating that if some businesses close, others are born able to absorb workers laid off by companies closed.

Why this does not happen in Italy?

Why in Italy there is the fear of challenging the economic status quo. Some industries and some firms are seen as being to preserve "every costo”, anche quando è diventato evidente che sono imprese antieconomiche, in grado solo di distruggere ricchezza e non di crearla. Esempi recenti, quali Fiat e Alitalia, sono emblematici in questo senso.

L'Italia è un paese dove esistono rendite di posizione fortissime, che vengono preservate contro tutte e contro tutti. E' tipica l'immagine del “nuovo arrivato”, che viene visto con sospetto da tutto l'establishment economico, come un soggetto che non conosce le regole e non sa come ci si muove.

Ma sono proprio questi i soggetti maggiormente interessati a promuovere innovazioni: coloro che devono rischiare (e per definizione le innovazioni sono rischiose) per riuscire a vincere la guerra contro the positions of firms already present in a given market.

If this country really want to use innovation as a lever to promote their competitiveness must first be willing to break down all the positions of profit that are created in our economic system. Only then can truly enable the emergence of new economic entities, capable of producing the wealth that the country needs.
