Abstract

This chapter reinterprets Corporate Finance through Gino Zappa’s vision of the firm as an enduring economic institution. It argues that contemporary challenges – including systemic risk, geopolitical uncertainty, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence – call for a renewed understanding of finance as a governance function supporting dynamic equilibrium and business continuity. By connecting Zappa’s theoretical legacy with recent developments in corporate finance, the chapter highlights resilience, financial flexibility, and managerial judgment as essential conditions for long-term value creation in an increasingly uncertain environment.
