Ripensare gli indicatori per le politiche per l’innovazione attraverso il Design-thinking

Author(s):  
Mauro Lombardi

The final chapter contains the proposal to rethink the policies for innovation based on the approach defined Design thinking. Particularly important is the introduction of concepts such as global order parameters, referring to a systemic view of the techno-economic dynamics, and of a complementary methodology, called Agile. Based on the proposed framework, the decision-making space of different actors (private, public) in pursuing objectives at different levels is then analyzed. In this way a multi-level and multi-stakeholder decision making process can be enriched through a multiplicity of indicators in order to timely verify the efficiency of implementation process.

Abstract Background Maternal immunization is a key strategy for reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases in mothers and their newborns. Recent developments in the science and safety of maternal vaccinations have made possible development of new maternal vaccines ready for introduction in low- and middle-income countries. Decisions at the policy level remain the entry point for maternal immunization programs. We describe the policy and decision-making process in Kenya for the introduction of new vaccines, with particular emphasis on maternal vaccines, and identify opportunities to improve vaccine policy formulation and implementation process. Methods We conducted 29 formal interviews with government officials and policy makers, including high-level officials at the Kenya National Immunization Technical Advisory Group, and Ministry of Health officials at national and county levels. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. We analyzed the qualitative data using NVivo 11.0 software. Results All key informants understood the vaccine policy formulation and implementation processes, although national officials appeared more informed compared to county officials. County officials reported feeling left out of policy development. The recent health system decentralization had both positive and negative impacts on the policy process; however, the negative impacts outweighed the positive impacts. Other factors outside vaccine policy environment such as rumours, sociocultural practices, and anti-vaccine campaigns influenced the policy development and implementation process. Conclusions Public policy development process is complex and multifaceted by its nature. As Kenya prepares for introduction of other maternal vaccines, it is important that the identified policy gaps and challenges are addressed.

The paper is focused on the discussion about the role of non-governmental organizations during the decision-making process in local governance and what factors influence it. To achieve this, the following steps have been made: first, the concept of non-governmental organizations and their relationship with civil society was analyzed, then possible variations of relationship between non-governmental organizations and their impact to the public sector was described. In the last part of the paper, the stages of the decision–making and implementation process in the municipality were analyzed and theoretical aspects of enabling NGOs were discussed. The analyses showed that the decision-making and implementation processes depend on the understanding of the need to cooperate, the ability of both subjects to work together, their relationship with citizens and other interest groups.

Abstract This contribution analyses residence rights of migrants and irregular residence from a conceptual viewpoint. In the pertinent legal literature, it is argued that every Member State still decides autonomously if the residence of a migrant is permitted; in other words, if he or she is found to be irregular. I question this view, since it ignores the multi-layered character of decision-making in the EU. To do so, I differentiate between migrants who have privileged residence rights (e.g. Union citizens) and those who have not. In depicting the legal situation of migrants with privileged residence rights, I am able to identify three different levels among which the legislative decision-making power in the EU is distributed (international, EU and national level). Consequently, I challenge the ‘statist assumption’ in showing that legislative decisions with regard to residence rights of migrants have been partly taken out of the exclusive domain of Member States in the EU.

The purpose of this article is to present mobile service design thinking, with the aid of mobile devices and mobile internet, to help consumers make proper decisions throughout the process in today's multichannel environment such that they can complete their activities and thus achieve value. This article first conducts a literature review to examine how consumers conduct activities by using those ancillary services to achieve their value step by step through their decision-making process in the multichannel environment. After that, it adopts the human-centered design toolkit developed by IDEO by three main phases: hear, create, and deliver, which link the process of human-centered design, to present mobile service design thinking. With the ubiquitous ability of mobile devices and mobile network, the mobile service design thinking presented by this study can help consumers make decisions in a more effective and efficient way in the multichannel environment, no matter which channels consumers would finally choose to conduct their activities.

In the last 10 years, cruise tourism has been frequently analyzed in the academic literature on leisure tourism. However, analysis of consumer behavior and the consumer-buying process is still limited, especially if the European market is taken into consideration. To address this gap in the literature, the authors analyzed how different attributes are evaluated by consumers in their decision-making process. In particular, the authors identified the role of the tourism destination among the different attributes that influence cruisers' choices. Using primary survey data from a sample of 4,002 German, Spanish, Italian, and French consumers, the analysis identifies the existence of consumer segments that give different levels of importance to the numerous attributes, including the tourism destination.

Sociological research in the field of human resources management focuses on identifying mechanisms that determine worker’s behaviour. Leadership can be noticed only on this level, as it plays a major role in organising relationships between individuals in a given society. We attempt in this article to expose some methods that could allow a better leadership impact on human resources and a perfect cooperation in order to accomplish tasks, to organize and bring workers into decision making process and to set a communication network on different levels in addition to motivating workers in order to achieve the set goals.

Decision-making on conditions that involve many alternatives, many criteria, and many judgments is a difficult thing to do. The difficulty is coupled with assessors who sometimes make decisions in hesitant, unclear, and inconsistent circumstances and each person can provide different judgments. One of the methods that can be used is Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets which is the development of Fuzzy Sets that can make decisions by using Hesitant Fuzzy Sets. Hesitant linguistic term has been introduced for capturing the human way of reasoning using linguistic expressions involving different levels of precision. The integration of Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets with Fuzzy Grid Partition will enhance the ability in the decision making process. This research will discuss the use of Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets method and Fuzzy Grid Partition for best lecturers determination.

Abstract:Lawmakers can choose to craft laws with different levels of detail to guide judges in their decision-making process, incorporating rules or standards into the laws they write. The optimal degree of specificity of legal rules under different environmental conditions and the functionality of these rules or standards are the subjects of the present study. A basic model of optimal specificity of laws is presented, clarifying the relevance of legal obsolescence and volume of litigation in the optimal choice. We then consider the important influence of codification style, judges’ specialization, and complexity of reality on the optimal choice of legislative instrument. The implications of our results are then reexamined in light of the more complex institutional reality that characterizes contemporary legislative processes in various areas of the law.

This chapter highlights the importance of financial education, its link with financial decision-making process, comparative status of different countries, and efforts to improve current situation. Unfortunately, there is no standard definition for neither financial education nor measures to quantify it. Therefore, this chapter first aims to provide a comprehensive definition in order to explain how financial knowledge affects the decision-making process. Then, financial literacy measures from previous studies over different countries would be discussed to show financial illiteracy problem is global. Lastly, solutions and recommendations would be discussed at three different levels: younger people, individuals, and national strategies.

This final chapter focuses on British and American naval responses to the outbreak of the American Civil War, particularly their efforts to contain their maritime disputes rather than let them spill into the fray. It gives significant attention to British policy-making regarding the Civil War, and traces the actions of parliament in the decision-making process that led to the evasion of the war. The latter half of the chapter brings the journal to an overall conclusion, reiterating the ability and necessity of sea power in maintaining peace during a period of peacetime fraught with anti-slavery and anti-piracy responsibilities.
