Reconceptualizing business models in light of the Covid-19 experience: Insights from the world of startups for a renewed corporate finalism

Abstract

This contribution builds upon the intense debate that developed in the media and the academic world through numerous webinars, during the months of the quarantine imposed in Italy by the Covid19 Health Emergency. Experts from different fields and subject areas discussed the issue of the consequences of the pandemic on economic and social systems, in particular in the more industrialized countries, and primarily in Italy, starting from 2020 and, in perspective, for the years to come, as well as on possible recovery paths and, therefore, on the economic policies to be undertaken and the business strategies to be implemented.
