Design/methodology/approach The case study explains the process taken to help the company make the required changes to stay competitive. The company’s transformation happened through the application of Agile Construction® and the implementation of design teams to develop and test new or improved company processes and procedures. Once the improvements proved successful, the new standardized way of doing business was introduced to the rest of the organization. Tools were introduced to enhance the new processes and make them visible to the entire organization. Findings It was found that working together as a team and learning together to create standardized processes improved the company’s overall profitability, increased sales and expanded their market share. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work along the way to improve. The process also proved that the team has to work toward the same goals for the transformation to be successful.

Estudio De Caso

  La importancia de la responsabilidad social empresarial (RSE) reside en el impacto positivo que una empresa puede tener con la sociedad, el medio ambiente y la viabilidad económica. Dado que es un tema relativamente nuevo en Ecuador, la mayoría de las empresas grandes son las que cuentan con un programa de RSE, mientras que son pocas las pymes las que lo consideran un factor necesario para su desarrollo debido a que estas últimas tienen distintas prioridades y por lo tanto, no toman como preferente estructurar un programa de RSE. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue determinar cuáles son las características principales de los programas de RSE en pymes, mediante el estudio de caso de la empresa Nueva Colonia. De manera que se la pueda aplicar en pymes del Ecuador. Los objetivos fueron alcanzados mediante una revisión bibliográfica, y una entrevista realizada al gerente de la Hacienda Nueva Colonia.   Palabras clave: responsabilidad Social Empresarial, Programas de RSE, Nueva Colonia, pymes.   ABSTRACT The importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) lies in the positive impact that a company can have on society, the environment and economic viability. Since it is a new issue in Ecuador, most large companies have companies that have a CSR program, while they are the only words that are a necessary factor for its development. and therefore, they have not been structured as a CSR program. The main objective of this work was to determine the main characteristics of CSR programs in SMEs, by studying the case of the company Nueva Colonia. So that it can be applied in the SMEs of Ecuador. The objectives were achieved through a literature review, and an interview with the manager of the Hacienda Nueva Colonia.   Key words: corporate Social Responsibility, CSR programs, Nueva Colonia, SMEs

Production Problems

Purpose: In production, problems that are difficult to solve could occur. When a classic problem-solving toolset is not enough, a company must accept not fully satisfying solutions or secondary problems. This paper proposes a new method called Innovation by Increasing Ideality (3I), which helps to resolve difficult problems in production.     Methodology/Approach: Based on a previous literature review a new method was designed. The method leads the solver by a set of steps that lead to a well-described problem, with many ideas or ways, where the solver should search for a satisfying solution. The method is based on TRIZ principles, but it is user-friendly even for users who are not TRIZ specialists but have only basic knowledge of TRIZ principles and its tools. The method is demonstrated in a case study, where a problem with the transportation of parts is successfully solved. Findings: Newly proposed method, compared with the traditional way of resolving a problem, got a much better solution in a shorter time. Research Limitation/Implication: Only one example of use. There is a need for more applications in future. Originality/Value of paper: The paper describes a new method for overcoming difficult problems in production. The method uses TRIZ principles to innovate the process where the problem is. The presented method can serve as a new powerful tool for industrial engineers in practice.

The topic of this article is enhancing destination competitiveness, with particular interest to entrepreneurial strategies able to valorise secondary and niche attractions. A literature review reveals that, by means of cooperation, local stakeholders could increase success of mass destinations, while promoting the discovery of niche attractions, with a positive impact on the whole territory. Also, the role of DMOs is important, facilitating cooperation among between private and public stakeholders and among private companies. Destination branding strategies could be set, to define the competitive advantages of a territory, leveraging on synergies among primary and secondary attractions. The specific case study of Liguria is proposed and analysed by means of a questionnaire, spread among potential tourists, so to investigate their perceptions about both the capacity of the territory to offer secondary tourism products and the existence and effectiveness of collaborative strategies among local stakeholders. This Italian region has a tourism concentrated during summertime (bathing season), but possesses other specific features, that could differentiate the offer and potentially attract tourists also in other periods. The questionnaire, in fact, reveals that many tourists also like to explore the inland, which should therefore be further promoted. It also emerges than about 9% of tourists didn’t take advantage of secondary tourism products, not being aware of them, while about 46% believe that secondary attractions could be interesting for tourism, but are not adequately exploited, due to the lack of both strategic cooperation among local businesses and direct promotion.

This paper gives an overview on the induction process for board members with a focus on the Italian context. First, considering the limited prior academic literature, we contribute to the understanding of the induction term. We propose a multilevel theoretical framework that synthesizes and integrates the poor and contrasting prior literature on the definition and the attendees of the program. We posit that the process is intended for all the appointed directors as it is tailored and specific of each company, due to the peculiar environment in which the firm operates. Second, we investigate how these programs are designed and how they can be beneficial for a company. Using a multiple case study on five Italian listed companies, we support the view that induction programs are a fundamental tool to assure that each director fully contributes with his own human and social capital to the board meetings in the shortest possible time, thus guaranteeing a positive impact on the value creation. Instead, in order to increase future directors’ knowledge, pre-appointment preparation courses are particularly relevant.

AbstractAimsTo develop an immaturity model for the assessment of logistic processes that can assess the practices that describe the level of criticality, which maturity models do not evaluate, of these processes.OriginalityApplication of the little-known variation of maturity models and immaturity models in business logistic processes.Research methodThe research is conducted from a literature review primarily with terms such as immaturity models and process immaturity. As literature is poor, it is supported by the maturity models developed by various authors in multiple domains.Main findingsAs a result, an immaturity model is obtained for the assessment of the main logistic processes of manufacturing companies. Likewise, the evaluation and the experiences collected from its application in a company of a case study are obtained.Implications for theory and practiceThe studies about immaturity of processes are few. The model is designed for manufacturing companies whose logistics management differs from service companies.
