Time Inc. (Incorporated) is a large media organization which is a
corporation.
It became incorporated in 1922.

"Time, Inc." is a large media company which happens to be incorporated. It
is also the name under which it does business.
Are you really asking what the difference is between "XXX", Inc., and
"XXX.Co. ?
"Company" ("Co."). may be used in the name under which the business
(company) or corporation does business, as may "Incorporated" ("Inc."). A
business may or may not be incorporated.
"The New York Times Company" is the name under which the New York Times
Corporation does business.

Yes, e.g. Canon inc. and Nikon corporation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_(company)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon
Canon and Nikon are both corporations. People may refer to "the Canon
Company", but this title does not give any indication as to how the company
is organized, only that it is a business. Some companies like to use the
name "Company" in the name under which they do business, like the corporate
entity doing business as the "New York Times Company". "Company", unlike
"Incorporated", does not indicate anything in particular about the company's
financial structure.

Ma credo che la legislazione e gli usi in materia di forma
legale delle imprese sia differente fra UK, USA, Europa,
Giappone ecc.

I think that "company" in the US is similar to "ditta" in Italy. I think
both are vague descriptors.

Giusto.

No, vi prego, non fate le traduzioni per assonanza.
Semplicemente, come � stato gi� detto, la legislazione � diversa e se l'OP
vuol capire cosa vuol dire incorporation, inizia su wiki (dove sono certa
che ci sia qualcosa) e poi pu� andare avanti all'infinito.
In termini spicci � una specie di registrazione della societ� con diverse
conseguenze civilistiche.
