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, […]
The collaboration between startups and large enterprises is a topic of growing interest in the scientific literature. However, although existing research has produced several contributions on this topic, the knowledge in the field appears fragmented. This fragmentation can be traced back to the lack of reference frameworks that clarify the most used concepts, thus providing […]
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 […]
Start-ups are becoming increasingly important in driving economic growth, job creation, and wealth generation. Their success depends not only on innovative products and services but also on the ability of attracting, retaining, and developing talented employees. The enthusiasm, involvement, and effort of founders and early employees greatly impact the success of start-ups. Unfortunately, the high […]
In this paper we explore: What are definitions for legal innovation and regulatory innovation? in the context of the whole lifecycle of regulation. We use systematic literature review (SLR) method. The lifecycle of regulation consists of law drafting, law implementation, monitoring, and sanction of law in act. Definitions of legal/regulatory innovations (LRIs) are interpreted and […]
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 […]
