Doing business in Australia with a made in Italy human capital
Roundtable led by Prof. Massimiliano Tani, Professor of Finance, School of Business, UNSW Canberra
The roundtable will concentrate on the topic: new entrepreneurs and local culture. During the evening some Italian businesspeople will share their impression on the way business is done and on marketing strategies in Australia vs Italy, with a special focus on the importance of understanding local customs from a business point of view, and the necessity of finding human capital capable of operating as a bridge between the two cultures.
After a brief introduction by Prof. Massimiliano Tani, who will talk about the concept ‘human capital’, the panel speakers will illustrate their experiences as Italian entrepreneurs in Australia. Guests at the roundtable discussion are: Federico Cornagliotto (Aizoon), Federico Molteni (Giorgio Armani), Andrea Zannier, partner at Oliver Wyman and Joseph Crepaldi, co-founder of Crescendo Partners and currently temporarily at Crown Sydney.

He currently works as a professor in the School of Business at the University of New South Wales (Canberra). Before moving to Australia in 1999, Max worked for a decade in investment banking (Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase). His research work and interests centre on skills and skilled international migration, innovation and mobility, the labour market for graduates, and higher education.
