No full textTeleworking as an eco-innovation for sustainable development: Assessing collective perceptions during COVID-19
No full textDue to the spread of COVID-19, new challenges and opportunities for business innovation have emerged, including the way work is organized and designed. In particular, pandemic created the conditions for the most extensive mass teleworking experiment in history. While there is a wide literature on the effects of teleworking as a business innovation, mainly from an environmental perspective, there are few studies investigating the public perceptions regarding teleworking and, in particular, studies that draw from social media analyses. Based on these considerations, a big data analysis has been carried out in order to frame the public perceptions about teleworking on Twitter. The six-months sentiment analysis of about 11,000 tweets shows that the ecological value of telework is not perceived by people; surprisingly, in a pandemic context of growing ecological concern, there is no significant evidence of environmental awareness in relation to teleworking. However, the positive and negative concepts which emerge in relation to teleworking and similar terms can be assimilated to the benefits and pitfalls highlighted in the literature, which are related to economic or social sustainability. This has important implications for practice in organizations employing teleworking, which are highlighted in the conclusion, together with the limitations and future research avenues
LA CLINICAL GOVERNANCE POSSIBILE SOLUZIONE AI FABBISOGNI D'INTEGRAZIONE NELLE AZIENDE SANITARIE in MECOSAN, n.53, (pp.85-98), 2005
No full textHealth care organizations show increasing needs for integration, in relation to the numerous activities carried out, the different sub-cultures, the various objectives pursued, and also in relation to
recent technological developments. In the present paper, the various reforms that have been made over years to copy with the problem of integration are critically examined, showing their limited
effectiveness. The clinical governance is then regarded as a possible solution to the problem of integration, and the organizational and cultural conditions for its successful implementation are
discussed
Intuition as Emergence: Bridging Psychology, Philosophy and Organizational Science
No full textAccelerating environmental uncertainty and the need to cope with increasingly complex market and social demands, combine to create high value for the intuitive approach to decision-making at the strategic level. Research on intuition suffers from marked fragmentation, due to the existence of disciplinary silos based on diverse, apparently irreconcilable, ontological and epistemological assumptions. Not surprisingly, there is no integrated interdisciplinary framework suitable for a rich account of intuition, contemplating how affect and cognition intertwine in the intuitive process, and how intuition scales up from the individual to collective decision-making. This study contributes to the construction of a broad conceptual framework, suitable for a multi-level account of intuition and for a fruitful dialogue with distant research areas. It critically discusses two mainstream conceptualizations of intuition which claim to be grounded in a cross-disciplinary consensus. Drawing on the complexity paradigm, it then proposes a conceptualization of intuition as emergence. Finally, it explores the theoretical and practical implications
Il piano di esposizione strategica per la mitigazione del rischio sismico
No full textLa fragilità del territorio italiano e la relativa messa in sicurezza continuano ad essere temi di grandi attualità, come
spesso ci ricordano gli eventi che si verificano sempre più con frequenza. A seguito di tali episodi esistono nel nostro
Paese interessanti metodologie volte alla mitigazione del rischio anche a livello di Piano. In merito a questi ultimi si
segnala però una diversa sensibilità delle regioni e un diverso modus operandi in una Nazione che dovrebbe prevedere,
vista l’importanza del tema, una Strategia politica e Piani/strumenti comuni. Il paper inizialmente analizza le esperienze
maturate nelle diverse regioni a seguito di eventi sismici. Successivamente intende proporre un nuovo approccio volto
ad una pianificazione integrata, che superi gli approcci settoriali, in un’ottica di mitigazione del rischio sismico. Nello
specifico, la ricerca definisce un nuovo strumento, il Piano di Esposizione Strategica che intende unire due metodologie
esistenti, la Struttura Urbana Minima (metodo della Regione Umbria inserito nel Piano urbanistico comunale) e la
Condizione Limite d’Emergenza (del Dip. della Protezione Civile) volta alla gestione dell’emergenza. La ricerca pone
particolare attenzione sulla grandezza “esposizione”. Il nuovo approccio introduce, nel PES, l’importante aspetto
legato alla temporalità. In tale ottica il Piano di Esposizione Strategica potrebbe costituire un interessante strumento,
all’interno del piano urbanistico comunale, volto alla sicurezza nei confronti di eventi sismici, prevedendo e poi
realizzando specifici progetti di riduzione del rischio rendendo operativo il rapporto Piano-progetto. Una prima
applicazione del PES è stata svolta a Novi di Modena in Emilia Romagn
The liaison between performance, strategic knowledge management, and lean six sigma. Insights from healthcare organizations
No full textKnowledge Management is a cornerstone to assisting health organisations in staying competitive and providing high-quality services in today's constantly evolving scenario. Lean and Six Sigma (LSS) approaches help organisations improve their Quality Performance (QP) by employing more efficient, streamlined, and accurate patient-centric processes. Nonetheless, if these methods are implemented to address a single issue rather than as part of an organisational strategy, they are likely to be ineffective and wasteful. As a result of its focus on human resources, Strategic Knowledge Management (SKM) might serve as a standpoint in ensuring LSS success in health organisations as well as in achieving consistent improvement in QP. Therefore, this study investigates the efficacy of QP improvement methodologies through systematic information sharing at the organisational level
Decision-making odontoiatrico: un modello basato su alberi decisionali
No full textIl lavoro propone un’implementazione di albero decisionale per la modellizzazione dei processi sanitari e il sup- porto al decision-making in ambito ortodontico. La sperimentazione, che impiega un dataset costituito da 290 cartelle cliniche (costituite da 39 attributi) di pazienti della scuola di Odontoiatria dell’Università d Napoli Fede- rico II, ha il duplice obiettivo di migliorare il grado di within e between agreeement tra gli ortodontisti e valida- re, da un punto di vista clinico, le euristiche generate tramite l’albero decisionale. La procedura, oltre a soddisfare i criteri di accuratezza, facilità di utilizzo e rapidità proposti da Bodemer et al. (2015), migliora il livello di agreement fra gli ortodontisti e, allo stesso tempo, riduce il numero di attributi impiegati per arrivare alla decisione ortodontica. Tutto ciò, sul piano dell’efficienza gestionale, implica una riduzione dei costi delle prestazioni, sia per gli esami diagnostici sia per quelli clinici.The work proposes a decision tree, a well-known supervised machine learning algorithm, aiming at formalizing clinical processes and figure out the implicit knowledge used by clinicians in order to support their decision making process. The experimental framework employs a dataset of 290 clinical records (with 39 attributes) of patients assisted in the Orthodontic School at the University of Naples “Federico II”. The whole procedure has the dual purpose of improving orthodontists’ within and between agreeement so as to validate, from a clinical point of view, the heuristics generated by the decision tree. On the whole, the proposed approach, besides meeting the criteria proposed by Bodemer et al. for accuracy, ease of use and speed, pro- duces an improvement of orthodontists agreement levels and a reduction of the attributes needed to take the clinical decision. Overall, from a managerial perspective, it turns to a reduction of costs in terms of both diagnostic and clinical examinations
Managerial hubristic-behavioral strategy: how to cope with chaotic and uncertain contexts
No full textPurpose: How can a manager lead an organization or a team in a particularly turbulent time? How can management cope with chaos and uncertainty? Drawing on behavioral strategy theory, this study aims at investigating how hubristic managers can enable organizations to thrive, even over small time periods, in chaotic and uncertain contexts and settings. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a qualitative methodology to explore the possible positive effects of hubris in a behavioral strategy. In particular, 45 interviews with leaders and followers of particularly high-performing secondary schools have been administered to try to fully understand the origin, process and performance evolution of organizations led by hubristic managers. Findings: The results showed that, in chaotic and uncertain times, hubris can prove to be a trump card for managers in dealing with the pitfalls and uncertainties of the context in which the organization operates. Three major attributes were identified – overconfidence and over-persistence, recklessness and contempt for critical feedback – defining the positive behavioral strategies implemented by hubristic managers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Originality/value: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to highlight, by means of qualitative methodologies, the positive managerial hubristic-behavioral strategy during turbulent times in the school sector
