From the paper: What's Slow? Slow Management can be associated with a wider social movement that is now expanding around the philosophy of slow Life model promoted as an alternative to the extension of the fastness in a multitude of industries. There is now of a plurality of patterns that combine slow versus fast: Città-slow, Slow home, Slow school, Slow money, Slow marketing, Slow art, Slow science, Slow folk, Slow film, Slow health, Slow fit, etc.. All these orientations, ranging from the very committed and the very flexible approach, make a long list and show that slow life (personal, professional or public) is emerging against the accelerating rhythms.
