Nudging e la citizen science per la ricerca di nuove soluzioni
Full text linkOggigiorno ci troviamo a dover fronteggiare Grand Challenges, cioè pressanti problemi ambientali e sociali che impattano l’intera società.

Together Alone? Mastering paradoxes within inter-organizational business model innovation settings
Full text linkIntroductory note:
The world is rich in paradox, tension and contradiction (Jarzabkowski, Lê, & Van de Ven, 2013). For this reason, the capacity to handle paradox is being presented as an important management competence. With this series, the European Forum on Paradox and Plurality aims to contribute to the development of paradox management competences by producing teaching materials on management tension and paradox.
The case:
Velasca is a shoe making company. But a closer examination reveals a digital native vertical brand (DNVB) that disintermediates the leather-footwear industry’s value chain with an innovative direct-to-consumer business model.1 Velasca is a client-centric data-driven company that harnesses organizational design and digital technologies to move made in Italy shoes directly from producer to consumer. By skipping intermediaries (i.e., wholesalers), it can market shoes with a higher quality-price ratio than firms that use conventional distribution chains. From an organizational design standpoint, Velasca currently orchestrates an alliance involving a logistics operator and nine co-located, small-sized artisanal manufacturers

The case:
The hospitality industry in Italy accounts for approximately 60% of the national tourism industry (Mordor Intelligence, 2019). In 2019, the contribution of tourism to the Italian GDP was estimated to be around 237 billion euros (13.3% of the overall GDP) and it was expected to reach 14.3% in 10 years (World Travel & Tourism Council, 2020). In terms of hotels and available rooms, Italy is currently the first country in Europe and the fourth in the world with around 33 thousand hotels and 1 million rooms, behind only by the United States, China, and Japan (Ribaudo and Franzese, 2019). Alongside this, new independent hotels, hotel chains, branded hotels have appeared throughout the country and the number of employees working for tourism and hospitality has increased dramatically: from 950 thousand employees in 2014 to 1.17 million in 2018 (Federazione delle Associazioni Italiane Alberghi e Turismo, 2020).
This sector has been hit by COVID-19 as one could have never foreseen. The impact has been even more severe given that Italian hospitality relies strongly on international demand, which offsets domestic demand. Due to the pandemic, Italy lost about 30 million tourists only between March and May 2020. Recent estimates from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2020) calculate that a return to pre-pandemic levels might not happen before 2023.
Piero Giraudi had been in the hotel business for 30 years and was particularly known in the sector for his competence, leadership style, and commitment to his managerial role. In his CV he had accumulated noteworthy job experiences in big luxury resorts located both in Italy and abroad. Although during his career he had had to face world crises such as that caused by the Gulf War and the spread of the SARS epidemic (2002-2004), the COVID-19 emergency seemed to raise completely new critical issues, questioning Piero Giraudi’s skills and his ability to outline timely solutions
Product Lifecycle Management and compliance with international standards: A case-study analysis in the footwear industry
No full textAs the globalization of markets in the footwear industry became more evident, several restrictions have been imposed by international directives, standards and regulations, as well as by market requirements. Such external needs are progressively pushing the footwear manufacturers to introduce continuous improvements in their production processes and in the firm management in general. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the awareness of the adoption of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) in the fashion industry, in order to describe the state of the art in the Italian context. To this extent we investigated the conformity to industry-related technical regulations as a first step towards the international development of companies. The paper presents the preliminary results of a survey conducted in the Riviera del Brenta industrial district in theVeneto Region of Italy

The pharmaceutical industry is a well-known example of a crisis-affected context and companies have directed attention to Lean Management for a long time, but they are stable in increasing effectiveness. This research uses a case study to move the attention to efficiency as an attractive LM goal
Changing Collaboration in Knowledge Work: Design Implications for Jobs, Teams, and Organizations
No full textIn the light of economic and technological turmoil, studies on job design, work practices, and organizational design call for research on the changing nature of collaborative practices and teamwork and their implications for job and organizational design. This symposium focuses on the changing nature of teamwork and its implications for individuals and organizations and puts emphasis on three relevant trends that may change how we think about designing and managing teams: i) multitasking and multiple team membership; ii) the increasing cultural heterogeneity of teams; and iii) new collaborative forms based on open-source platforms, open innovation networks, and crowdsourcing. Four papers on the three aforementioned issues will be presented by a multidisciplinary group of researchers. The papers will be discussed from a broader organizational design perspective in order to illustrate the theoretical contributions to the debate on the changing organizational forms for collaboration and innovation, and derive practical hints for organizations that are asked to redesign teams and structure
