A chapter in Sustainable Transition of Meat and Cured Meat Supply Chain, 2023, pp 135-155 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to offer an overview of the growth strategies and performance of firms operating in the Italian meat industry, a mature, yet particularly dynamic industry that is raising interest among scholars and practitioners in virtue of both its economic relevance and environmental impact. Based on the analysis of 992 companies across the 5-year timeframe 2017–2021, the study will first provide an analysis of the economic and financial performance of companies by assessing the size, growth, profitability, the liquidity, and financial sustainability. Secondly, the chapter takes a strategic lens and analyzes corporate expansion, particularly in terms of internationalization, and modes of corporate expansion, with a focus on external growth strategies (mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures).
