Abstract
Globalization, digitalization and automation determine transformations of the enterprises. The forms of work (also atypical and not subordinate) integration in the productive organization – Market, Sharing and Hierarchy – coexist, taking on new or more complex connotations, and projecting a changing bundle of effects, within each form and among themselves, which are reflected on types of works, contractual models and rules of discipline. The factors of the transformations of the enterprise present opportunities for progress and development, but also new threats for the workers, especially in the context of unregulated global competition and cyclical economic crises, such as the one triggered by Covid-19 pandemic.

The research aims to investigate how these transformations affect the nature, characteristics and methods of exercising the powers of the entrepreneur towards persons employed in any capacity, the specific risks involved in the implementation of the principles of dignity, freedom and security enshrined in the Constitution (art. 41) and what are the responses of the legal system in terms of the delimitation of those powers and the guarantee of those principles. All this also with a view to defining a “Charter” of workers’ rights in the digital and global age, between laws, collective and individual autonomy.
The variety and interconnection of the topics under investigation call for a multidisciplinary methodological approach, which will be carried out through analysis of: a) main trends in organizational change in enterprises; b) forms of decomposition and recomposition of production cycles through agreements of a corporate or commercial nature (business groups and networks, supply chain agreements, subcontracting, procurement) and other outsourcing arrangements (transfer of the undertaking, staff leasing); c) new works linked to the digital economy and technology platforms, which have now acquired a social and, in part, also legal character; d) effects on the power distribution among contracting parties, both individual and collective; e) regulatory solutions offered by European, International and comparative law, taking into account that growing fluidity of the company’s boundaries requires wider levels of regulatory integration.
