La comunicazione aziendale tra redazione e traduzione: Il caso di ipack srl.

This dissertation is the result of my participation in the Language Toolkit project, a recent collaboration between the Chamber of Commerce of Forlì and the School of Foreign Languages and Literatures, Interpreting and Translation at the University of Bologna, which aims to make students meet with the companies of our territory, in this case Ipack, based in Mercato Saraceno (FC). My dissertation is a specialized translation work from Italian into English of two documents that were entrusted to me: the declaration of compliance of Ipack’s products and a summary of the quality manual. They are two high technical texts and, therefore, the translation task required a preliminary phase of research on the topics and on the terminology of this specific domain. The dissertation consists of five chapters. The first chapter briefly introduces the company with which I collaborated for my dissertation project and provides an overview of business communication and a brief classification of Ipack’s communication tools. The second chapter covers the background topics, namely food packaging and quality management systems within companies. The third chapter concerns the analysis of the two texts, describing the intra-textual and extra-textual aspects, as well as the morphosyntaxical and lexical features. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the revision work on one of the two texts, the one about quality procedures. In the commentary following my review, I explain the methodology and the strategies that I used and I also provide some extended examples of the main changes applied to the original text, with respect to both content and linguistic features. Finally, the fifth chapter focuses on the translation of the texts followed by a commentary that explains the work methodology, resources and my translation choices, accompanied by practical examples.

E-business: Management e strategia nell'era di internet

Le tecnologie sviluppatesi a cavallo del nuovo millennio hanno dato e stanno dando un grande impulso all'evoluzione dei processi che riguardano qualsiasi campo della vita di oggigiorno: tutto ciò riguarda ovviamente anche le aziende, che si adoperano nel trovare nuove soluzioni che possano garantire profitti maggiori abbinati a costi di gestione minori. Risulta quindi interessante approcciarsi allo studio dei processi decisionali ed organizzativi che interessano un'azienda e come i suddetti vengano influenzati dall'uso delle tecnologie. In particolare, l'adattamento delle strategie e dei modelli di business alle tecnologie odierne è una sfida interessante e ripetuta nel tempo, in quanto le tecnologie si sviluppano e si evolvono in tempi sempre più brevi, con tutti i vantaggi ed i rischi del caso. Questa tesi si pone l'obiettivo di analizzare i temi inerenti all'E-Business, ovvero l'applicazione delle Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in supporto alle attività di business di un'azienda. Verrano esaminati in che modo un'impresa deve approcciarsi per sviluppare ed implementare una strategia e-business, quali sono i fattori che influenzano una strategia, quali sono i vantaggi e gli svantaggi dell'adozione di tale strategia.
