EPF Newsletter European Pharmacists Forum Newsletter – English Edition July 2019 Issue 55 EPF Newsletter European Pharmacists Forum Newsletter – English edition July 2019 Issue 55 Twenty years of progress Ornella Barra, Co-Chief Operating Officer, Walgreens Boots Alliance, looks back at 20 years of progress for the European Pharmacists Forum sharing how it has evolved over the years to become a leading voice for independent pharmacy… The concept of EPF began when Alliance with the Boots Group and this brought Santé merged with Unichem in 1997 to EPF further opportunities to explore form Alliance Unichem, becoming one of expertise and best practice in healthcare the largest pan-European leaders across and beauty services, to complement the wholesale and retail.

  • Carissimi Tutti
    Email di Annuncio – Eccezionalmente la SCUOLA approda al Forum Virtuale Women4Women - Mercoledì 12 maggio h.17:00 News del 6 Maggio 2021 Carissimi tutti, con una certa emozione e profondo senso di gratitudine voglio condividere con voi l’invito a partecipare al Forum Virtuale Women4Women - mercoledì 12 maggio h.17.00, augurandomi che siate in tanti ad aderirvi. Grazie al dott. Alfredo Ambrosetti ho avuto modo di conoscere la dott.ssa Ornella Barra, entrambi persone di grande umiltà, veri giganti al servizio della Nazione. La dott.ssa Ornella Barra, genovese di nascita, laurea in Farmacia, è oggi Chief Operating Officer, International di Walgreens Boots Alliance, a capo, col compagno di vita e di lavoro Stefano Pessina, di una realtà presente dal Nord al Sudamerica, dall’Europa alla Cina. Un gruppo che ha il suo quartier generale a Chicago, gli uffici a Londra; lo stile di Ornella è, comunque, rimasto, virtualmente, genovese. Una delle donne più influenti al mondo, come riviste di settore l'hanno definita, che ha mantenuto un’estrema riservatezza nei modi e nello stile di vita. Vale la pena citare le sue parole: «Sono cresciuta in una famiglia di imprenditori. Mio padre e mia madre hanno sempre avuto una dedizione molto forte per il lavoro e per la famiglia. Grazie al loro esempio, ho sempre saputo che nella vita bisogna impegnarsi e spesso anche sacrificarsi. Ma non è solo senso del dovere quello che mi è stato trasmesso. Certo, è un elemento importante per la formazione di un giovane, donna o uomo che sia… Ma quello che conta davvero, e che nella mia educazione ho avuto la fortuna di ricevere, è lo spirito di iniziativa.

  • Introduction Chapter 1
    Notes Introduction 1 This followed on from the Financial Services Authority discussion paper November 2006, which highlighted the risks of growing debt levels (FSA 2006). See conclusion. 2 It cannot for example override common and statute law regarding fraud and does not exempt the fund from investment law, competition law etc. Chapter 1 1 The term tendency is used here within the broad ‘realist’ tradition of social theory. Any given identifiable social entity has causal powers based on its constitution and relations. The operation of those causal powers creates further potentials that may be realised, given circumstances that are conducive, including the inter- action with other social entities. What exactly a social entity is raises the further issue of agency and structure and various problems of structural determinism dichotomised with methodological individualism. The minutiae of social theory debate on these issues are not strictly relevant here, however. See Harre and Madden (1975), Sayer (1982), Pinkstone (2007). 2 The very first, however, appeared in the early 1960s. I am indebted to Fenn, Liang and Prowse’s (1995) extensive study for the Federal Reserve as a main initial source for the early part of this section. The studies bibliography was also particularly useful in tracking down relevant material by various scholars in organisation and finance (Jensen, Kaplan etc.) who took an early interest in the phenomenon. An extended version of the Fenn et al. original study is available in Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments 6 (4) 1997: 1–106. Gompers and Lerner (2000: 285; 1998: 151–2) also note the creation of the firm American Research and Develop- ment (ARD) in 1946 (See also Cohen 2007: 15).
