Introducing a strategic perspective in lean thinking applications through system dynamics modelling: the dynamic Value Stream Map
2020
PurposeLean Thinking is an operation management discipline which aims to identify, map and analyse the activities forming a process to detect “value waste” and outline the most effective flow of activities to execute in sequence. Process mapping is often developed in lean projects through the use of the Value Stream Map (VSM). Like many other management tools, the VSM adopts a static and non-systemic perspective in the representation of an organizational process. This may result in the implementation of Lean projects inconsistent with the overall organizational long-term strategy, thus leading to dysfunctional performance. In order to overcome this limit, the paper suggests combining VSM wi…

Organizational Performance Dynamics : a preliminary model
2023
The main objective of this model (an Interactive Learning Environment) is to help the reader understand how employees' motivational dynamics influence organizational performance. The model will allow you, through an iterative learning process, to understand: - the feedback structure of dynamic organizational performance system - the main motivational variables that influence the organizational performance - the organizational levers able to affect the employees' motivational dynamics The model will allow the reader to figure out the complex relationship between employee motivation and organizational performance through an "experimental" approach, using the simulation features provided by th…
Il governo del capitale intellettuale attraverso il raccordo tra modelli contabili e di System Dynamics. Una prospettiva di programmazione e controll…
2004
Il presente scritto tenta di far luce sul tema del capitale intellettuale in una prospettiva economico-aziendale, focalizzando in particolare il concetto di governo della conoscenza aziendale. La tesi sostenuta dagli autori è che i processi inerziali di sviluppo e declino della conoscenza non devono essere astrattamente ignorati, relegando l’area Organizzazione e Sistemi al rango di centro di spesa discrezionale. Questa semplicistica prospettiva di analisi può indurre il management all’adozione di politiche miopi, che portino cioè a rinviare investimenti necessari in sviluppo della conoscenza, con l’unico obiettivo di non deprimere i risultati reddituali di breve andare. A tal riguardo, si …

Enhancing the Collaborative Governance in Post-disaster Reconstruction: A Dynamic Performance Management Approach
2020
The impact of natural disasters on human life was blatantly demonstrated through media reports of recent events such as the Ache tsunami in 2004, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 and Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami in 2010-2011. Rising from the rubbles, our societies strive to learn from the experiences of how to build a better life and avoid future catastrophes. Post-disaster reconstruction (PDR) plays a crucial role in providing a safer and more resilient living environment for people, particularly for those disaster victims. This thesis focused on how implementing a collaborative governance approach in post-disaster reconstruction can offer effective solutions to …
A dynamic simulation approach to frame drivers and implications of corruption practices on firm performance
2014
Corruption is a multifaceted socio-economic phenomenon widely spread - although with different intensity - all around the world. Many studies on corruption have been conducted at a country-level, but relatively little effort has been placed in evaluating its implications, in terms of both financial and competitive performance, at a firm-level. Therefore, this paper aims at exploring the causal relationships underlying the effect of corruption on firm performance in order to show the different scenarios that may emerge from the combination between external (i.e., contextual conditions) and internal (i.e., organizational characteristics) forces that drive corruption. To this end, we adopt a D…
