That\\u2019s why they need their phones, computers, cameras, Mp3 players and so on to work the way they think with common sense: new technology based products should be easy to use and fit in with work practices, activity and context of consumer. Product usability is a critical dimension of product quality as perceived by users, and great attention should be granted to it in new product development process, with marketing function playing a pivotal role. The aim of the paper is to investigate the concept of usability and to pinpoint managerial implication for design, development and marketing of new technology based products easy to use, focussing on the analysis of theoretical contribution deriving from three current ...

La tecnologia e l’innovazione acquisiscono un ruolo strategico ai fini della determinazione del vantaggio competitivo delle imprese. In un siffatto ambiente competitivo nel quale l’innovazione assume progressivamente forma di interazione tra imprese o unita organizzative diverse, con conoscenze e competenze complementari, la comprensione del processo di trasferimento tecnologico tra organizzazioni assume interesse sempre crescente. L’accentuarsi di domanda e offerta di tecnologia, provenienti dalle piu diverse tipologie di attori economici, ha, infatti, determinato nel tempo nuove soluzioni e mo...

Industry professionals have been trying to address the related threats and opportunities for years. Many technology innovations have been developed as well in the last decades. These includes the Extended Smart Sustainable Organisation (xSSO), an interesting management and integration framework that has been developed within the Leapfrog European project. The paper presents and discusses this framework and explores the impact of its adoption on apparel supply chains sustainability.

For many patients, in fact, Emergency care system is the first point of contact with the NHS and their experience at this step can significantly affect how they feel about the quality of care across the NHS as a whole. We know that the main factor affecting of patients’ experience is how long they have to wait. But we also know that they want to see other improvements – especially better information and more involvement, better facilities for children, friendly and helpful staff, and a cleaner, more pleasant environment. ES’s criticism comes also from the organizational perspective, cause organization has to face to non foreseeable and no deferrable demand.<br><br>These first literature findings confirm the importance of primary care in improving the efficiency of hea...

Global sourcing strategies, product proliferation, together with product life-cycle-speed, are the emerging competitive drivers but at the same time can have a negative impact by the sustainability perspective. Technology innovation plays a key role in breaking the above trade-off. Many technology options are available to entrepreneurs intended to improve their company's efficiency and sustainability. An interesting supporting framework for apparel supply chains management and integration, the extended smart sustainable organisation (xSSO), is presented and discussed. It is based on the research work developed within the Leapfrog European research project and it is suggested to become the new networking oriented, integrative framework for the organisation of flexible and sustainable apparel manufacturing of the future.

The evolution of aviation industry, boosted by external events such as globalisation and liberalisation/deregulation processes have, in fact, launched a "risiko of the skies", that seems to have modified the traditional dichotomy between mergers and acquisitions and alliances. Therefore, the paper is so focused to understand if the recent wave of corporate M&A among airlines is the first step of a concentration process dominated by this type of growing path, or, instead, it is only a cyclical phenomenon

This need is in the face of a growing destruction of non-renewable resources and the ceaseless degradation of the environment. It is based on wealth economics trading in new products to continue expanding well-being while limiting the ecological footprint including environmental effects, energy and material consumption, emissions all along the product life cycle. The goal of this work is the technical, ecological, environmental and social examination of the life cycle of traditional industry products. This paper focuses on the novel opportunity offered to textile clothing industries by trading off products-services, namely, enhanced products or extended deliveries, with a transparent accounting of resource depletion.
