On 20 July 2021 at 13:15 the Markets, Culture and Ethics (MCE) Research Centre hosted the webinar Auctoritas & Empowerment.
It was the last appointment of the Webinar Series Humanistic Management: In the Market, which Culture to act according to Ethics?.
What do the Latin concepts of Auctoritas and Empowerment have to share? Is it possible to compare their meanings and find points of convergence between the classical and the modern world?
If the auctoritas was able to grow those who were under the guardianship of the auctor, then it is necessary to ask today what is the role of the manager and the entrepreneur: unlock the potential valueof the person, including those living in extreme cases of social exclusion. This is auctoritas, this is empowerment.
In addition to Luca Mongelli and Simone Budini, guest of the Meeting was Antonino Vaccaro, Professor at Business Ethics e di Negotiation Unit Department of IESE Business School, as well as Academic Director of the Center for Business in Society of IESE Business School.

It was the fifth appointment of the Webinar Series Humanistic Management: In the Market, which Culture to act according to Ethics?.
Five centuries ago, Erasmus of Rotterdam, the prince of the humanists, described the characteristics that a Christian prince must have to guide citizenship. What does the thought of this great humanist say to today’s manager, who wants to become a leader, rather than administer resources and manage processes? And what does it mean to talk about ethical leadership?
On 23 June 2021 at 13:15 the Markets, Culture and Ethics (MCE) Research Centre hosted the webinar Human Dignity & Common Good.
It was the fourth appointment of the Webinar Series Humanistic Management: In the Market, which Culture to act according to Ethics?.
Each organization is based on a certain anthropological conception. Depending on the answer to the questions "Who is man?" and "What is its value?" a specific organizational model is structured. Closely connected with this is the definition of the Common Good, which must not be confused with the sum of private interests or with the collective advantage. The Common Good is the foundation for human achievement and the goal of society itself.
Host of the meeting was Martin Schlag, Director of the Markets, Culture and Ethics (MCE) Research Centre and professor at Ethics and Business Law Deaprtment at Saint Thomas University (Minnesota).
