The most important practices and methodologies were integration, process management, production value added, automation, leanness, agility, resiliency etc. [..] Read more

Abstract: The growing scarcity of natural resources and increase of consumption have resulted in the adoption of an ambitious Circular Economy Package. It has to contribute to "closing the loop" of product life cycles through more recycling and greater re-use of waste generated through entire life cycle. [..] Read more

Abstract: The reward system is one of the fundamental elements influencing the managers’ motivation in most companies. The development of such a system is usually a long and expensive task, and the result is very sensitive to unfairness and mistakes. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of the paper is analysis the linkages between the types of services (product-centric and knowledge-centric services) that manufacturers deliver to their customers and their (manufacturers) network capabilities configurations. The present study intends to contribute to the logistics and servitisation literature by drawing from the resource-based view and configuration theory to investigate which components of network capabilities are most important to enable manufacturers to develop and deliver services.
