AI-Supported Decision-Making in Medical Device Procurement: From Ad Hoc Criteria to Meta-Criteria and Value Configurations
Mattia Barsanti, Salvatore Tallarico, Luisa Pellegrini, Riccardo Dulmin, Simone Lazzini, Marco Praticò
Medical device (MD) procurement is a strategic area of non-clinical decision-making in healthcare, as purchasing choices affect not only cost containment but also quality of care, patient safety, and long-term health system sustainability. In competitive tenders, however, evaluation criteria are often highly heterogeneous and device specific. This limits the possibility of systematically comparing procurement decisions [...]

Improving Clinical Evidence for Medical Devices: A Lifecycle Approach
Marco Praticò, Salvatore Tallarico, Luisa Pellegrini, Simone Lazzini
Background: The European Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 seeks to minimize clinical uncertainty – especially regarding the generation, dissemination, and quality of clinical evidence – across all phases of the medical device lifecycle: pre-market, market approval, post-market, and disinvestment. Although the MDR promotes using gold-standard methodologies, such as Randomized Controlled Trials to address clinical uncertainty, [...]

Financing Open Innovation: Equity or Debt?
Salvatore Tallarico, Alessandra Coli, Valentina Lazzarotti, Simone Lazzini, Luisa Pellegrini, Emanuele Tasso
The internal innovation activities of firms often encounter obstacles (i.e., factors hampering innovation activities) such as economic constraints and lack of skilled employees within enterprises, prompting them to adopt an Open Innovation (OI) approach as a means to overcome the obstacles and thus to achieve innovation performance, intended as Innovation Industrial Performance (IIP) and Innovation [...]

Digital Technologies for Supporting Firms' Absorptive Capacity: A Systematic Review
Salvatore Tallarico, Valentina Lazzarotti, Simone Lazzini, Luisa Pellegrini
A firm can improve its innovation processes by accessing useful external knowledge, profiting from the Open Innovation outside-in process. However, to benefit from the flow of knowledge from the firm’s outside boundary, the firm’s Absorptive Capacity – the ability to correctly acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit external knowledge according to the innovation needs – plays [...]

Blockchain Technology in Healthcare: Readiness of Different Types of Stakeholders
Benedetta Nicolai, Salvatore Tallarico, Luisa Pellegrini, Luca Gastaldi, Giacomo Vella, Simone Lazzini
With the advent of the Digital Transformation, Healthcare Systems have switched from paper to electronic health records (EMR). However, there are few critical issues related to data governance (e.g., transparency of data, traceability, immutability, privacy and security) that need to be addressed in the upcoming years. Blockchain (BT) is a decentralized digital ledger and an [...]

Business Model Innovation in the Space Industry
Lara Agostini, Davide Aloini, Loretta Latronico, Valentina Lazzarotti, Anna Nosella, Luisa Pellegrini
The Copernicus Programme leaded by ESA (European Space Agency) has/is released/ing a huge amount of Earth Observation data and therefore firms operating in the Space Industry aim at getting most out of them. However, this is not straightforward in that, to be exploited, data need to be processed and interpreted and this, on its turn, [...]

Business Model Innovation and its antecedents. The case of the Space Industry
Loretta Latronico, Luisa Pellegrini
Antecedents of Business Model Innovation (BMI) may be many, different in nature, placed at several levels, and they can be internal or external to the firm. The current debate has barely connected such antecedents to the type of innovation of the Business Model (BM), if modular or architectural. To fill this gap, our study draws [...]

Inside-Out: The Forgotten Side of Open Innovation and The Role of ICT and Digital Transformation
Davide Aloini, Roberta Amerotti, Valentina Lazzarotti, Luisa Pellegrini, Pierluigi Zerbino
The exploitation Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in knowledge transfer from and to external partners is a nontrivial management issue (Awazu et al., 2009; Cui et al., 2015). How ICT platforms could enable connectivity and collaboration is a compelling scientific topic in the next OI research agenda (Bogers et al., 2017). Accordingly, this manuscript aims [...]

Open innovation with scientific partners and patenting: the moderating role of the internal context for innovation
Lara Agostini, Lars Bengtsson, Valentina Lazzarotti, Raffaella Manzini, Anna Nosella, Luisa Pellegrini, Ioana Stefan
This paper aims at investigating how the degree of openness, in a depth conception (Laursen and Salter, 2006) and with scientific partners is associated to innovation performance, measured through the number of patent application. Moreover, we provide a detailed and contextual analysis which assigns to a multifaceted setting for innovation a crucial role in shaping [...]

Structured selection of partners in Open Innovation communities: an IF-TOPSIS based approach
Davide Aloini, Riccardo Dulmin, Giulia Farina, Valeria Mininno, Luisa Pellegrini
Purpose – Open innovation (OI) literature suggests that firms can improve their innovation performance by learning from a large set of actors in the innovation process. However, although this premise, the extant literature has rather completely overlooked the ‘who’ question: which partners should be included in the different phases of the innovation funnel? How should [...]
