The crisis in the welfare state has led to increased interest in Italy in non-profit organisations, which generally represent an interesting alternative to the public related welfare models. There are various types of non-profit organisation, but only one of these has been around for thousands of years, and yet still holds great potential for the future: the foundation. The book uses a multi-pronged approach to analyse foundations. The legal, tax, organisational and financial issues regarding the establishment, growth and management of a foundation is examined with numerous examples and summary tables. The book is aimed at people who intend to start up a foundation, those who work on behalf of existing foundations or those who simply wish to find out more about them.

This book takes a fresh approach to the welfare and tax issues related to company employees, such as bureaucratic, organisational, and union matters. The diagrams and summary tables and numerous examples and internal references provide the reader with a practical, user-friendly guide to dealing effectively with staff. Unlike other technical handbooks and consulting manuals, this book deals with the issues using a cross-issue approach: instead of separating out the topics by regulatory source or legal category, they are set out to correspond more closely to the actual procedures involved in the documentation, operation and tasks involved in the proper management of human resources. The book is therefore aimed at both professional firms and HR offices in small and medium companies, in addition to those who have to deal with human resources on a day-to-day basis.
