Veselības aprūpes eiropeizācija: Latvija un inovatīvu zāļu pieejamība
2019
Zāļu pieejamība ir valsts ilgtspējas un labklājības stūrakmens, un tieši inovatīvu zāļu pieejamība sniedz iespējas ārstēt hroniskas un nereti nāvējošas slimības. Katras valsts interesēs ir veidot veselības aprūpes sistēmu tā, lai pacientiem pieejamas maksimāli piemērotas ārstēšanās iespējas. Latvijā veselības aprūpes situācija ir viena no sliktākajām ES - paredzamais mūža ilgums ir starp zemākajiem, medicīniski novēršamā mirstība ir viena no augstākajām. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izvērtēt inovatīvu zāļu pieejamību Latvijā, tās ekonomiskos un sociālos aspektus, kā arī atbilstību ES pamatprincipiem atbalstošās kompetences kontekstā. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka nodrošinot inovatīvu zāļu piee…

Innovazione sociale: condivisione ed inclusione delle scelte nell’erogazione dei servizi pubblici (Decisioni a rete ed in rete).
2018
Il contributo si propone di scandagliare la tensione, cui si trova la pubblica amministrazione, tra esigenze di semplificazione e ricerca di forme di partecipazione inclusive. Partendo da una disamina del contesto attuale, dei problemi collegati al digital divide, si analizza la portata del rapporto tra innovazione sociale e welfare digitale nella pubblica amministrazione. Si approfondisce altresì il tema delle ICT come strumenti di benessere sociale, anche in funzione di trasparenza. Nuovi modelli di condivisione delle scelte: “decisioni a rete e in rete”.
Inspiriting Innovation: The Effects of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) on Innovative Behavior as Mediated by Mindfulness and Work Engagement
2021
Continuous innovation has become a key to gaining a sustainable competitive advantage for organizations in the 21st century. By focusing on the underlying mechanisms (i.e., mindfulness and work engagement) by which it works, this study addresses the quality of leader–member relationships and their relevance for innovation in the workplace. Using a sample of 210 employees from 17 Spanish companies, a two-wave longitudinal design evaluated the mediational roles of mindfulness and engagement between leader–member exchange (LMX) quality and innovative work behavior (IWB) in an organizational context. Over the course of a year, two questionnaires were administered to measure LMX quality, mindful…
Co-dynamics in engendering innovations through collaborative leadership - A complexity-based approach
2013
The paper presents ten co-dynamics that are supposed to be those underlying forces and powers that bring about an innovation creation process. The co-dynamics as unpredictable movements have been found by a Grounded Theory approach from two large-scale data. Parts of the other data serve here as the empirical source. In order to comprehend the nature of the co-dynamic, the notion of collaborative leadership is exploited. It includes both human participants and tangible elements, such as activities, practices, measures, or tools when synergy is gained. Collaborative leadership is supposed to be, at the same time, both the very source and the result of the dynamical movements. nonPeerReviewed
