Determinants of performance drivers in online food delivery platforms: a dynamic performance management perspective

2022

PurposeThis study aims to demonstrate that the Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) framework, integrating performance management with system dynamics modelling, enables decision-makers to identify sustainable strategies in online food delivery platforms, thereby avoiding company failure.Design/methodology/approachThis study undertakes a multistep methodological approach. After the literature review, a retrospective case study approach was used. To build the DPM framework and the system dynamics simulation model, primary and secondary data were collected and analysed.FindingsThis study by adopting the DPM perspective highlights the critical role performance drivers play to assess the viabil…

Ripensare al ruolo dei sistemi di performance management & governance nell’amministrazione pubblica per fronteggiare le sfide della complessità dinam…

2022

Ho trovato i contenuti e lo stile espositivo della lectio magistralis del Ministro On. Prof. Brunetta molto gradevoli alla lettura e stimolanti verso numerose ri!essioni, specialmente in funzione del ruolo assunto da variabili quali: tempo, cultura, istituzioni, leadership, metodi e capacità professionali, nei processi di cambiamento dei sistemi sottostanti alla generazione di valore pubblico. Queste variabili assumono un ruolo essenziale nelle s"de che specialmente oggi l’attuazione del “piano di ripresa e resilienza” pone per avviare percorsi sostenibili di transizione ecologica e digitale alimentati da un cambiamento che pervada longitudinalmente società e istituzioni, partendo dai siste…

Applying system dynamics modeling to foster a cause-and-effect perspective in dealing with behavioral distortions associated with a city's performanc…

2015

This paper aims to show how applying system dynamics methodology to performance management can provide a powerful modeling perspective enabling public sector organizations to prevent, detect, and counteract behavioral distortions associated with performance measurement. A dynamic performance management approach is able to support performance management system designers in outlining and implementing a consistent set of measures that can allow public sector decision-makers to pursue sustainable organizational learning and development. This perspective implies a major shift from a static to a dynamic picture of organizational processes and results. It means framing delays between causes and ef…

Designing Outcome-Based Performance Management Systems to Assess Policies Impacting on Caesarean Section Rate: An Analysis of the Sicilian Maternity …

2017

The reduction in Caesarean sections (CSs) is widely considered a priority in the public decision makers agenda. Though the World Health Organisation has strongly encouraged countries to implement policies to reduce CSs to 10–15%, after almost thirty years this goal appears still far from its achievement. The literature depicts CS as a multifaceted phenomenon whose causes involve different factors, ranging from the patient sphere to the health care level of services provided, and the societal preference of CS practice. Policy makers aiming to standardise cares and to reduce CSs often implement maternity pathways (MP). By investigating the MP introduced in the Sicilian region, the authors hig…

Supporting the natural gas supply chain public policies through simulation methods: A dynamic performance management approach

2018

Natural gas is considered the transitional fuel par excellence between fossil and renewable sources, considering its low cost, greater efficiency and lesser impact on the environment. This is the reason why its demand levels have increased worldwide, requiring intervention of public and private stakeholders in order to meet these increments. The participation of diverse interconnected stakeholders (key actors) of the supplier-client form, constitutes a supply chain for natural gas, in which the effects of the application of public policy actions can be analysed in the time, using Dynamic Performance Management DPM methodology. The results of the model show the behaviour of the reserves, pro…

System Dynamics : Theory and Applications ; Edited by Brian Dangerfield

2021

The Springer volume on “System Dynamics. Theory and Applications” (2020), edited by Brian Dangerfield, substantially contributes to strengthening the position of feedback modeling and simulation in both research and practice in various policy analysis domains. The 23 chapters, of which the book consists, cover a wide scope of fields ranging from theory and methodology (part II) to practical applications of system dynamics (SD) to solve different real-life problems (part III). In particular, the methodological chapters provide a suitable conceptual framework for the subsequent chapters which illustrate the benefits from applying SD to specific policy fields and contexts. A well-balanced mix …

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IN THE UPSTREAM OIL INDUSTRY

This is a study about investments in the upstream oil industry. The goal is to describe how investments that lead to oil and gas production, are made. The study of oil supply is central, because it represents 60% of the world’s primary energy supply. It is vital for energy renewables policy makers, in order to assess oil supply scenarios and adjust incentives for lower fossils consumption. It is also important for consuming countries. Previous studies have stressed the importance of market volatility for investment appraisal in the UK; irreversibility of investments; and remaining reserves as main drivers of investment and production in the UK. My study differs, since my results can be comp…

Blending Collaborative Governance and Dynamic Performance Management to Foster Policy Coordination in Renewable Energy Supply Chains

2020

As the use of renewable energy is growing worldwide, the wind industry is being endorsed as a promising source for clean energy supply. In this context, the strategic management of the supply chain is fundamental to pursue a steady expansion of renewable energy. However, the fragmentation between energy policy design and implementation has been considered as a major cause threatening the effectiveness in managing the supply chain. This problem has been provoked mainly by an unsynchronized and uncoordinated decision-making process that involves public and private institutions. This chapter proposes the adoption of a dynamic performance management approach for enhancing a collaborative govern…

How to support energy policy coordination? Findings from the Brazilian wind industry

2019

Abstract Despite a growing sense of urgency, the deployment of clean technologies has been affected by fragmentation of energy policy design and implementation. In some case, wicked policy issues around renewable energy infrastructure have delayed or even halted the uptake of renewables. To find possible answer to consistent policy design that involves public/private institutions of the electricity sector, the authors propose the adoption of a dynamic performance management approach to support the energy policy coordination.

Sustainability reporting and public value: Evidence from port authorities

2023

Due to the growing importance of Port Authorities (PAs) in pursuing economic, social, and environmental goals, scholars and policymakers should understand how these PAs can contribute to creating public value. By adopting the strategic triangle framework of public value, we studied how Italian PAs create public value by investigating their non-financial disclosures. For this purpose, we performed a cluster analysis and a lexical correspondence analysis on the textual content of the sustainability reports of eight Italian PAs. The study results allowed us to understand how PAs preserve and disseminate public value, obtain legitimacy and support from stakeholders, and build operational capaci…
