Public logistics in management of medical entities (hospitals)
2014
The problem of public/social logistics application opportunities has been discussed in this paper. The public/social logistics is understood as the application of public objectives by the external entities within medical entities. There has been undertaken an attempt of showing that the greatest potential of costs reduction and processes diminishing in a hospital occurs in the logistics sphere. It has been indicated that the development of public logistics resulting, first of all, from the budget constraints is a kind of a panacea for the processes diminishing and the medical services effectiveness increase.

Software Complexity and Organization of Firms’ Offshoring Activities
2017
How does software complexity shape software providers’ offshoring tasks, and how do such firms organize their offshoring activity? These questions are important, since the global software development market is growing rapidly, offering new opportunities for software managers and entrepreneurs to distribute their activities geographically. Based on a multi-site case study of 12 software firms, we study connections between software complexity and the offshoring strategies selected. Our findings suggest that software firms select a variety of organizational structures for their offshoring activity, and that the selection is shaped by the complexity of the software in question. peerReviewed

Best practices for International eSourcing of Software Products and Services
2008
This paper analyzes how the information and communications technology-supported international eSourcing of software products and services (IeS) can be effectively executed. The extant literature falls short of providing a systematic and detailed enough set of best practices to guide IeS. This paper presents best practices for IeS to facilitate further research, and to help managers and other stakeholders to understand, execute, and proactively improve and manage international eSourcing. The practices emphasize the need to establish and enact rigorous, mature, and quantitatively managed eSourcing life- cycles in order to transcend temporal, geographical, social, technical, and other boundari…
Restricciones y capacidades para la acción climática: un análisis en empresas de economías con debilidades institucionales
2023
Indagamos porqué las empresas se comprometen con acciones contra el cambio climático (ACC). Primero estudiamos un efecto macro de las interacciones entre la configuración institucional que externaliza la FDI y las instituciones locales. La FDI externalizará positivamente las instituciones de origen cuando proviene de economías de mercado más coordinadas, mientras que las instituciones locales juegan diversos roles y contrarrestan los efectos negativos de la FDI de otro origen. Luego estudiamos la complementación positiva entre las fachadas organizativas —frentes simbólicos— sobre algunos recursos de la empresa. Finalmente se relacionan las acciones más sustantivas con la ampliación de los l…

INDUSTRIES IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE ARE MAKING STRIDES TOWARD SERVITIZATION
2014
This paper is intended to examine, without empirical evidence, the way industries in Central and Eastern Europe are heading toward convergence of knowledge-intensive sectors. Emboldened by European Union’s commitment to become the world’s most competitive entity, industries in the new member countries are phasing out low skilled labor-intensive activities such as subcontracting of final assembly, concomitantly trying to integrate skilled labor-intensive inputs in production. Following a powerful trend that is manifest in global manufacturing, firms in the region are endeavoring to enhance the value of their offerings by providing knowledge-intensive services in addition to physical products…
Virtualization of work in global supply chains
2016
ABSTRACT. Background: The paper is devoted to the notion and benefits of implementing virtual work in global supply chains. Virtual work must be understood as an intentional activity of a human being, aimed at rendering services (tangible and intangible), by means of ITC tools, performed in a distance from the traditional place of work, in a mobile manner. The empirical research were conducted on the basis of 4 case studies of global leaders of supply chains, which in accordance with M. Fisher's classification, represent two types. The case studies confirmed the positive influence of virtual work both in effective and flexible supply chains. Favourable market and technological conditions an…
