Men amerikanerne har langt fra sluppet planen om at rykke Grønland tættere på US.

Affari e Affetti Emanuele Sacerdote L’impresa di famiglia è quel tipo di azienda in cui una famiglia detiene la maggioranza del controllo e della proprietà. Il modello di business ‘Affari e Affetti’ diventa un fattore determinante di valore e di vantaggio che può rappresentare una grande opportunità oppure un elemento di rischio. La famiglia imprenditoriale è portatrice, oltre che di competenze settoriali, di un peculiare softpower – unità, identità, leadership e affetto – che la rende il potenziale moltiplicatore di patrimonio distintivo da proteggere e da perdurare. Affinché la famiglia imprenditoriale possa elevare la continuità nel tempo si dovrebbe attivare una forte spinta al cambiamento, all’evoluzione, al progresso. A volte, però, sono proprio questi gli elementi che scarseggiano per conferire alla famiglia e all’impresa maggior stabilità, durabilità e vivacità. Il podcast affronta il complesso argomento del passaggio generazionale mettendo insieme le questioni più rilevanti con quelle più sensibili; Emanu Hacia Asia: Anima Radio Marinha Clarendon Asia: más allá del Animé Descubre todo el softpower de Asia Anima creado y conducido por Fabiola Rendon durante su primera temporada de 2013 a 2015 fue transmitido por https://absentaradio.com/ dando un enfoque único sobre el anime y la cultura pop Asiatica
