Building on the literature about social manufacturing and disruptive innovation, we develop a new framework to address our research questions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many Italian manufacturing companies quickly adopted a network-based production approach, to provide a rapid response to healthcare organizations needing surgical masks, sanitisers, and pieces of equipment like ventilators. We discuss this transformation with two companies, Ferrari Cars and Isinnova, which developed a social manufacturing network that was successful in an emergency situation. Building on the empirical evidence stemming from these case-studies, we explain how and to what extent this emergency model could become stable and profitable in a post-pandemic scenario, creating economic value and opening up business opportunities

The Data and information on the effectiveness of medical care at the Hospital Aloe Saboe was obtained from questionnaires, interviews, observation. The Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Conclusion The study showed that: (1) there is an influence on the effectiveness of health care leadership in Aloe Saboe Hospital in Gorontalo; (2) there is a motivational influence on the effectiveness of health care at the Hospital Aloe Saboe in Gorontalo; (3) there are significant infrastructure and facilities on the effectiveness of health care in Aloe Saboe Hospital in Gorontalo; (4) there is the influence of leadership, motivation and infrastructure together on the effectiveness of health care at the Hospital Aloe Saboe in Gorontalo

The paper, after a brief review of the main streams of study on TOC, identifies the key academic and managerial issues discussed about the process industries. Among these, a major one concerns production and inventory management for different types of process industries and the need for a transition towards a pull approach. Thus, a case-study is presented, concerning a batch-mix process company, which applied TOC. The paper describes the main features of the process, as well as the key decisions and activities performed in such plant in order to lead the transition to a pull system through the implementation of DBR.

Such strategies may produce psychological effects in terms of job satisfaction and well-being among employees, namely frontline employees, thus affecting service quality. We collected 2158 observations from 42 nursing homes in Italy. Our results show that all capacity management strategies addressed in this study can influence the perceived degree of fatigue or of job hazard, and some of them can influence both. Moreover, a better perception of job hazard and fatigue leads to a higher degree of reported well-being from employees, although with the former, it is only through the mediation of job satisfaction. We conclude our paper by discussing theoretical contributions and policy implications.
