The paper is founded on a data-set concerning top and middle managers (education, military service, political and religious affiliations, recruitment and career), built intertwining a multiplicity of original sources. Based on empirical evidence, it aims to get a deeper understanding of some of the crucial issues in the identity and action of SOEs managers, mainly the complex relationships with the government and the political milieu.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
