This article aims to evaluate the resources and capabilities in insular regions, and also to understand how value creation and commercialization take place in the existing ecosystems. A qualitative research methodology was followed through a case study, incorporating interviews with incubators managers of the insular regions of Portugal (Azores and Madeira). The results show some difficulties as a result of the ecosystem's insularity. To shorten the insular regions dissymmetry compared to other non-insular regions, a new model is proposed to help these regions overcome their economic and social problems.

The aim of this work is to use IIoT technology and advanced data processing to promote integration strategies between these elements to achieve a better understanding of the processing of information and thus increase the integrability of the human–machine binomial, enabling appropriate management strategies. Therefore, the major objective of this paper is to evaluate how human–machine integration helps to explain the variability associated with value creation processes. It will be carried out through an action research methodology in two different case studies covering different sectors and having different complexity levels. By covering cases from different sectors and involving different value stream architectures, with different levels of human influence and organisational requirements, it will be possible to assess the transparency increases reached as well as the benefits of analysing processes with higher level of integration between them.

This chapter represents the case study on Rosia Montana Gold Corporation. We assumed from the beginning of our research that the 2010 Annual Report issued by Rosia Montana Gold Corporation has the prototype of an integrated report. As we can deduct from the research methodology section, a report becomes an integrated report if it complies with the conceptual model based on the IIRC content elements and principles, capital, value creation, and accountability, environmental and CSR information extracted from IFRS/ IASB requirements.

Logistics has become increasingly important to business organizations for financial performance, therefore the aspect of value creation and evaluation of logistics services becomes more and more relevant. Customers require services that meet their subjective needs and one of the main directions of increasing the value of logistics services is the creation of additional services. The purpose of this study – identify trends in value creation for logistics services and assessment methods. The paper reviews the models of value creation for logistics services and generalizes the evaluation methods of valuation of logistics services. Research methodology: Review of scientific articles (1981 – 2018 m.). Scientific articles analyzing the theoretical aspects of the value creation of logistics services. The information is grouped and structured in order to identify the theoretical directions of the development of the value chain and the scope of service creation and to provide a theoretical summary of the evaluation of the value of logistics services.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the development of key supply chain capabilities in the Indian public sector-run liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supply chain. This case study has relevance to emerging markets grappling with problems caused by monopolies and subsidies. Furthermore, this case study not only aims to improve operations of the LPG supply chain, but also re-designs its supply network to meet customers’ expectations. It illustrates value creation through growth in non-domestic sales, a reduction in consumption of subsidized LPG as a consequence of better understanding of customer needs and customer diversity, process re-engineering and deployment of ICT systems, and change management and capability building across various LPG stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach An interpretive research methodology is applied, using an illustrative single case study of the Indian public sector-run LPG supply chain. The research methodology is iterative and exploratory in nature, consisting of a back and forth process between extant literature and the field, as well as in-depth discussions/interviews with senior management, distributors, and consumers. Findings Key supply chain capabilities of an integrated and seamless ICT system, detection and blocking of duplicate/ghost connections, the capping of entitlements, and coordination and collaboration across various stakeholders result in value creation for all stakeholders. When such collaboration across stakeholders’ spans both vertically and horizontally through the supply chain, change management and capability building drive value creation through policy interventions and initiatives. Practical implications This study provides an illustrative example of meeting customers’ expectations, increasing consumer convenience, and improving service levels, amidst the complex subsidy challenges in LPG distribution in India. The economic and environmental benefits, as well as increased customer satisfaction, from policy interventions regarding value creation in supply chains, have implications for similar public sector-run schemes. Social implications As a result of the various policy changes, the LPG subsidy was restricted to legitimate customers, reducing the fiscal burden on the Indian Government. Furthermore, seamless ICT-introduced efficiencies for government, distributers, and customers were attained. Originality/value This research articulates the capture, creation, and appropriation of value through the deployment of new supply chain initiatives in a large, complex environment, in particular the public sector-run LPG supply chain.
