converted into a public company
>> can a group have Business Units that are NOT incorporated?
<< No, I don't think so, may be the term is used inappropriately, but "converted into a public company" seems to render the meaning of "societarizzate". As far as I can understand, we are talking about institutions managed with bureaucratic criteria (no cost-efficiency, "assunzione secondo criteri clientelari" etc.) - you'll find numerous examples in Italy, think about Ferrovie dello Stato or ENEL before their "privatizzazione" (going public?) -

Comment: "Thanks to all. It is indeed a company of this sort, but I wasn't sure how to put it. Your references were a big help."

incorporated
Sounds like they're trying to specify between business units that have actually been made part of the company and those that haven't.
Difficult to say for sure without more context.

I\'m not sure \"converted into a public company\" is necessarily right here. I think \"societarizzate\" is refering to \"consorziate\", like when several companies get together and form a \"consorzio\" in order to qualify for volume discounts on utilities (gas, electric, telephone) and things like that. These \"consorzi\" (if I understand the concept correctly) can either be actual companies (i.e. \"incorporated\") or just your typical consortia.
\"Converted into a public company\" seems just a long way of saying \"privatized\".

denationalized/privatized
The word doesn't appear in any dictionary or glossary I accessed BUT appears in various documents relating to the breakup of state owned enterprises and the subsequent privatization of these, eg RAI Television/the Italian railways etc
