Selected essays of Henk F. Moed
No full textThis part presents a collection of the most important publications by Henk F. Moed. This collection characterises the author as a researcher personality with a broad spectrum of activities and a multifaceted research profile. As Henk Moed has contributed to the advancement of the field in many topics, an overview of the development of his career is, to a considerable extent, also a survey of the research field. We grouped his publications into seven topics in the field at the intersection of bibliometrics, informetrics, science studies and research assessment. The main topics are the following

Product-As-A-Product masquerading as Product-As-A-Service
No full textThis study explores service orientation in businesses, using a car rental experience to evaluate how Product-as-a-service (PaaS) models often blur the lines between traditional offerings, transitioning from services to products in consumer perception. A longitudinal single-case approach is used to examine a PaaS model, while a journey mapping approach is employed to analyse customer experiences. Principles of service-dominant logic and service quality are introduced to understand value co-creation dynamics. The analysis of the results suggests five key service quality failures, including communication barriers, inefficient change management, coordination issues, problem resolution inadequacies, and unclear policies. Through the lenses of product—and service-dominant logic, the outcomes underline the role of value co-creation and customer involvement in the successful implementation of service-oriented business models. Through examination of barriers to adopting PaaS models, this work emphasises the pivotal role of organisational culture in delivering authentic service excellence amidst digital transformations. Moreover, it offers insights into the complexities of PaaS implementations, highlighting the importance of maintaining a service-oriented culture
Supply chain tsunamis: Research on low-probability, high-impact disruptions
No full textThis study introduces supply chain tsunamis as a major strategic supply chain phenomenon. Like their ecological counterparts, supply chain tsunamis occur at relatively long intervals and are therefore easily mistaken for unique events, rather than recurring phenomena. In contrast to ocean tsunamis, they can in principle be prevented through timely and adequate managerial action. However, their immediate impact is just as sudden and disruptive, and their ability to reshape supply chains of companies and even industries equally long lasting. They are fundamentally different from phenomena like the bullwhip effect and black swan events. This study further explores a preliminary typology of supply chain tsunamis by Akkermans and Van Wassenhove (2013). Each type of tsunami focuses on a very different part of the supply chain periphery where the first signals of a developing tsunami can be observed. In this study, we use a detailed example from the high-tech electronics industry to describe how a supply chain tsunami unfolds over time. This is done both from an external and an internal perspective. The external perspective shows the sequence of events visible to the outside observer. The internal perspective focuses on the managerial decision-making processes that cause and (sometimes) resolve supply chain tsunamis. We link the notion of supply chain tsunamis to the broader need to revive strategic operations and supply chain management research. Supply chain tsunamis affect corporate strategy and have a profound impact on business and management. Therefore, we argue that business tsunamis deserve deeper research and suggest avenues for future research
Improving inter-organizational care-cure designs: specialization versus integration
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate inter-organizational designs for care–cure conditions in which low-risk patients are cared for in specialized care organizations and high-risk patients are cared for in specialized cure organizations. Performance impacts of increasing levels of integration between these organizations are analyzed. Design/methodology/approach: Mixed methods were used in Dutch perinatal care: analysis of archival data, clinical research and system dynamics simulation modeling. Findings: Inter-organizational design has an effect on inter-organizational dynamics such as collaboration and trust, and also on the operational aspects such as patient flows through the system. Solutions are found in integrating care and cure organizations. However, not all levels of integrated designs perform better than a design based on organizational separation of care and cure. Practical implications: A clear split between midwifery practices (care) and obstetric departments (cure) will not work since all pregnant women need both care and cure. Having midwifery practices only works well when there are high levels of collaboration and trust with obstetric departments in hospitals. Integrated care designs are likely to exhibit superior performance. However, these designs will have an adverse effect on organizations that are not part of this integration, since integrating only a subset of organizations will feed distrust, low collaboration and hence low performance. Originality/value: The originality of this research is derived from its multi-method approach. Archival data and clinical research revealed the dynamic relations between organizations. The caveat of some integrated care models was found through simulation.</p
Effect and Improvement Areas for Port State Control Inspections to Decrease the Probability of Casualty
Get PDFThis report is the fourth part of a PhD project called "The Econometrics of Maritime Safety – Recommendations to Enhance Safety at Sea" and is based on 183,000 port state control inspections and 11,700 casualties from various data sources. Its overall objective is to provide recommendations to improve safety at sea. The fourth part looks into measuring the effect of inspections on the probability of casualty on either seriousness or casualty first event to show the differences across the regimes. It further gives a link of casualties that were found during inspections with either the seriousness of casualties and casualty first events which reveals three areas of improvement possibilities to potentially decrease the probability of a casualty – the ISM code, machinery and equipment and ship and cargo operations.maritime safety;correspondence analysis;binary logistic regression;probability of casualty;improvement;Port State Control Effectiveness;casualty first events;detention;port state control deficiences;target factor
