The emergence of Digital Innovation Ecosystems (DIEs) is reshaping how innovation is generated, diffused, and scaled across sectors, especially within highly regulated domains such as pharmaceutical logistics. These ecosystems bring together startups, corporations, research institutions, and intermediaries to co-create digital solutions. However, such collaborations are inherently asymmetric—startups and corporates differ vastly in resources, legitimacy, and […]
Despite rising healthcare costs, many health systems still fall short of patient and policymaker expectations for quality and efficiency. A major challenge is the integration of technological innovations, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), into healthcare processes. AI has significant potential to improve clinical pathways, particularly in time-sensitive processes like stroke care, where every second counts. However, […]
Despite large amount of spending, the Healthcare System lags behind the quality improvements expected by users and policymakers. Several analysis and studies motivate the hard of innovation in Health Systems (HS), meant as the inefficacy of innovations to translate in service impacts and outcomes. This study argues that a theoretical and methodological gap hamper the […]
Large Scale Research Infrastructures are rising in the competitive and globalized research environment, since they offer to external researchers-users, inputs and services for cutting-edge, large scale research. Such researches would not be possible with normal infrastructures and budgets of single Universities and Research institutions. However, despite the strategic relevance acknowledged to LSRI by the nascent […]
The aim of this paper is to introduce and discuss the design and the main contents of a survey-based research methodology supporting data collection to better understand how food companies identifies and manage levers, practices and initiatives of positional innovation. After a literature review aimed to briefly modelling theory about the role and the characteristics […]
In the Industry 4.0 context, an effective knowledge management becomes fundamental for companies in order to exploit potentials of automation technologies (AI, IOT, Cloud computing, new robotics, etc.). While in the operational and management processes the role of ICTs has been long explored in literature, the specific contest of Human Resource Management has not been […]
Several studies have suggested that collaborative-based approaches are relevant to attain sustainability related goals in the Agri-food sector. These approaches take on even more significance in the light of the opportunities offered by the so-called circular economy, through innovative technologies and profitable business models based on the exploitation of agricultural wastes, byproducts and unsold products. […]
The main contribution of this paper is the development of a methodology for conducting a systematic literature review implemented in a software named SMILE. The methodology and the SMILE tool are applied, as an example, to the field of human resource management in the context of Industry 4.0 or HR4.0. After analysing characteristics of main […]
Cultural tourism constitutes an interesting business opportunity for many companies. Recent advances in mobile-based technologies open new ways in offering value to cultural tourists, driving some tech companies to enter the cultural tourism market at full steam. These companies offer the opportunity to exploit benefits new technologies, providing users with a set of services that […]
