Innovative open processes in the international supply side relationships. Analysis of MSFs cases.
No full textThis research focus on supply chain performance measurement systems
(SCPMSs) for the purpose of offering the most appropriate managerial
practices that suggests to innovative firms that want to improve their
performance in dynamic competitive contexts, reconfiguring internal
products/processes and repositioning their offer in modern and innovative
and recently established international production chains, which moreover are
very different (due to the technological back ground that characterizes them)
from the supply chains to which they belong. As regards the methodology
adopted, the qualitative analysis of the cases was carried out with an inductive
method. 20 cases belonging to fashion system, mechatronics, automotive,
packaging have been real research laboratories for 6 years are been

Full text linkIn the current economic contexts, profound changes are witnessed in the agrifood supply chains structuring processes at an international level. The aim of this chapter is to build resource-based view to empirically explore the business relationships among Italian firms belonging to diversified sub-sectors of the Italian agrifood (suppliers, packaging materials manufacturers, machinery manufacturers, biomethane producers) that are the result of innovative and unusual sustainable strategic choices. Drawing on qualitative analysis, we investigate strategic choices (way of doing research, redesign of supply side relations, digitization of the supply chain relationships) to create sustainability and innovation in Italian agrifood sector. The research provided useful implications for management called for the adoption of frameworks that best fit the emerging needs of Agrifood companies and the continuous evolution of technologies and digital systems
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Green Business Model: The Digitization of Sustainability
Full text linkThe academic-scientific debate has been heavily focused in recent years on the issue of sustainability: sustainability has captured the attention of the financial and social disciplines. However, since this is a new economic model, the attention of scholars and economic operators (managers, institutions, etc.) must necessarily pay particular attention to business production systems and to new ways of managing these business systems and new opportunities. relationships within supply chains. Sustainability encompasses themes that are increasingly transversal to business management, just think of skills, knowledge, management of change and complexity, networking and the possibility that the value generated is shared between new business configurations, business models and supply chains. The research work presents the first results of an ongoing study on green management with particular reference to the most relevant strategic decisions by manufacturing companies and the concomitant design by management of new governance systems and new structures or dashboards to evaluate the competitive performance of the company. The focus of the paper is mainly to highlight how new digital technologies, especially those implemented in operations, represent the ideal prerequisite for allowing manufacturing companies to formulate the most appropriate strategies to successfully attack current competitive contexts. Disruptive technological innovations generate new business models within companies, in the technological-production chains, and favour the redesign of business performance evaluation models and buyer–supplier relationships. An interpretative, qualitative approach, utilizing selected multi-case study interviews, is chosen because it helps to navigate and understand the complex issues that are associated with the data quality concept, and its relation to the factors involving managerial practices to implement new business model and to build facilities in modern relationships within supply chain
