Abstract: Abstract The topic I would like to discuss, in conclusion, could be entitled “Firm Integrity, Authority and Power”. It is this semantic set, which spreads from present concerns to ontological reflections, that I believe can heuristically give the best fruits. I wish to discuss the basic topic straightaway; I am not interested in discussing corporate social responsibility as it is commonly described, with references to ethical codes and to all the issues that submerge us today, accompanied by rather poor argumentative rhetoric. Instead, I am interested in discussing another perspective that is based on taking up a theoretical thread regarding the question of governance, and therefore of the good government of a firm, which had started in the mid-1980s and reached its zenith at the beginning of the 1990s and then nearly disappeared. The discrete managerial attention that it attracted was, at the time, precious. Today the fil rouge has unravelled, but in this way it has lost its theoretical consistency, spreading into a series of jobs, mainly consulting activities, which have a very poor theoretical and civil content.
