Protecting Knowledge in Partnerships: A Process-Based Approach
No full textIndustries of complex products are characterized by wide partnerships spanning several nations. In aerospace industry, the high costs of R&D phase, the need to enter new markets and to involve specialized skills, knowledge and capabilities pushed firms to establish and strengthen partnerships. Partnerships and new product development inside them are characterized many learning processes: partners have a lot of opportunities to learn from other partners. From „80s researchers, practitioners and governments are debating about the impact of the knowledge flows in partnerships on national economies. The numerous joint ventures between US, EU and Japanese firms raised the fear that these partnerships could threaten US knowledge and technological leadership. The competitiveness of the Japan aerospace industry and the birth of a significant Chinese aerospace industry are stressing US and EU firms‟ need of new knowledge protection strategies and techniques for global aerospace alliances and partnerships.
The Innovative Design Foundation (IDF) project is aimed at analyzing the collaboration patterns looking for a new approach to knowledge protection in partnership. The pursued idea is that two learning processes take place: “learning from outside”, from data and information shared by partners, and “learning from inside”, form the assigned activities and tasks, while the knowledge flow is only a trigger or a booster of this learning activity.
Following this approach, it became mandatory in partnership management to take a process-based view: the new product development process has to be decomposed, core phases and tasks have to be recognized, partners have to be selected with respect to their capability to face the challenges of the new product, but also with respect to competitive capabilities they will obtain at the end of the program
A Framework for Interoperability in an Enterprise
No full textThis study highlights benefits to the interoperability between heterogeneous and geographically distributed workgroups, generated by the adoption of an Enterprise Architecture Framework. These groups need to collaborate in order to execute business transactions scheduled by common activities, for both complex activities that involve a lot of people like the concurrent design of a mechanical component and activities that involve communication just between software applications. The problem of interoperability is part of a more complex scenario provided by the Business Process Management which allows, through the use of a suitable framework, to describe and implement enterprise business processes in order to get a faster process execution and a more efficient and robust process management. But to obtain advantages from this kind of management it is necessary to identify and to be able to describe adequately which is the useful process knowledge and who are the actors of the process. So you need methodologies and tools to capture and to implement process knowledge to share and make it available for people who need it. These methodologies and tools should be provided inside an Enterprise Architecture Framework, based on Enterprise Application Integration techniques using a common schema for data, which offers business process modelling capabilitie

A BPM framework for NPD process knowledge management
No full textIn today's context of strong competition among organizations and rapid changes in business surroundings, the organizations really need to start thinking about improving their performance, especially in knowledge intensive processes such as New Product Development. Business Process Management and Knowledge Management can represent organization's strategic resources to the extent in which they are viewed as a base of success or failure, but they need to be supported by synergic systems that allow shaping the context in which knowledge is created and where knowledge can be re-used. Managing the explicit definition of the NPD processes and its resources allows the regulation of reusable "process knowledge," the achievement of standardization, the improvement of best practice reuse, the improvement of time/cost efficiency, and the support of workers in the retrieval of knowledge resources suitable to conduct the product development activities. Thus, the aim of the chapter is to study how to best support companies in the collection and organization of process knowledge in the domain of their new product development, and to present an NPD process knowledge management framework which, starting from BPM approaches and its related technologies, allows the building of the required knowledge for the product development process more effectively for users and stakeholders
The role of educative thought in the life and work of Antonio Gramsci
No full textMany philosophers have propounded a vision of an improved society, what distinguishes Antonio Gramsci is his continuous effort to make it happen by understanding the process in order to put into practice. Gramsci's conviction about the importance of educative development came from both theory and experience. While there has been considerable examination of Gramsci's work in relation to the Prison Notebooks, this study will seek to address a lacuna in Gramsci scholarship. Using Gramsci's philological method, I analyse Gramsci's pre-prison activity; his pre-prison articles and letters, which, together with his letters from prison, formed part of his educative mission. This educative process was necessary, in order to construct a new party which would develop a collective will, collaboratively, with the masses.In this study therefore, I explore the contexts and formative experiences of the first part of his life together with the intellectual sources from which Gramsci developed his later theories, making central hitherto underemphasised connections between them which informed his writing and ideas. I intend to illustrate that Gramsci's underlying purpose in his writing, and political activity, was not only practical, on how to create a new socialist ruling class, but also educative in forming the mindset and values of his comrades. So that in addition to outlining his vision of a new order, he implicitly guided or explicitly explained the processes by which the necessary changes in social relations and moral climate could be made in order to achieve it. Each person had to engage with the values of the new order so that each could contribute to the construction of a new robust state. It was essential to build a hegemony at the most profound level, one which was dependent on collective understandings and a collective will
A conceptual framework of strategy, action and performance dimensions of organisational agility development
No full textAgility is today a key dimension of organisational excellence as it encompasses the aptitude to successfully respond to changes in the surrounding environment. Although existing research has investigated specific perspectives of organisational agility, an integrative framework is yet to be introduced in literature. This article aims to address this gap by presenting a conceptual model that encapsulates various dimensions critical to the development of agility within organisations. An extended review of literature is used to identify agility-related concepts, and a design science approach is adopted to build the framework. Three macro-areas are described in terms of 7 propositions and dimensions and 30 items concerned with an agility development initiative. The main value of the article is to provide a holistic view of agility and a number of interdisciplinary perspectives into a single representation framework. The model can also support managers involved into the execution of agility development initiatives
L'immateriale economico nei beni culturali come oggetto di valorizzazione della proprietà industriale.
No full textIl tema della valorizzazione dei beni culturali nell’ambito della proprietà industriale presenta aspetti di modernità, frutto dell’evoluzione del dibattito dottrinario nonché di quello normativo generativo di nuovi scenari in un ambito caratterizzato sul piano concettuale per una diffusa incertezza. Il Codice dei beni culturali e il Codice della Proprietà Industriale hanno fornito una disciplina normativa della questione esaminata, che ha rappresentato un importante punto di arrivo. La regolamentazione elaborata si fonda sul labile equilibrio di due esigenze: l’interesse collettivo alla libera ed illimitata utilizzazione dei beni culturali, e dall’altro, la possibilità di trarre profitto dall’utilizzo altrui attraverso lo sfruttamento economico del bene, come tale limitativo dell’interesse della collettività di usufruizione
