Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"As a consultant, I have learned that not only organizations have to be transformed, but also the way people look at them.This is true in business, but also in politics. The new edition of this book gives a sharper vision on a major European effort. It will not change the reality of Europe, but will boost your perception of what's going on." - Luc de Brabandere, Vice-President, The Boston Consulting Group

"Allocation for schools and education are believed [by most] to be a cost. Stajano proves with cogent analysis that education and knowledge are instead veritable infrastructures for social cohesion and economic productivity. Allocations for school and education are also necessary investments for life and

productivity of a nation." - Tullio De Mauro, former Minister of Education, Italy; Professor of Linguistics, University of Rome

"For Europe the magic word is competitiveness. In order to be successful we should invest more in quality, research, education and innovation. This book is an excellent guide about European and global integration and competitiveness. It analyses not only where we stand, but also where should we go and what we should do. It is highly recommendable reading for those who care about the future of Europe." - Tibor Palankai, Emeritus Professor of Corvinus University of Budapest

"Attilio Stajano significantly contributed to shaping the developments of the European research program 'Esprit' and its follow-up program 'Information Society Technologies'. This book reflects his enthusiasm for European collaborative research which he rightly highlights as a success story. It provides a valuable and detailed source of information on IT research funded by the European Union in recent years with the goal of contributing to European competitiveness." - Dr. Rosalie Zobel, Director, European Commission, Brussels
