SIPOC-OI: a proposal for open innovation in supply chains

Purpose – Regarding the premises of open innovation (OI) in terms of knowledge sources, this paper aims todiscuss how to manage the existing sources of knowledge in supply chains.Design/methodology/approach – An integrative review was developed focusing on studies related tosupply chain and OI, seeking to understand the relationships between them, supporting the innovativediscussion.Findings – The SIPOC-OI was proposed as a tool to support the management of knowledge sources present inthe supply chain, promoting efficiency to the company and improving its innovative capacity.Research limitations/implications – The conceptual proposal should be empirically verified tounderstand the management tool’s obstacles and benefits for a company’s innovation performance.Additionally, it would be useful to understand the results of this proposal in the relationships betweenagents of the chain, as well as the direction (inbound, outbound or coupled). Additionally, relevant points werehighlighted as future agendas.Practical implications – The point of view based on OI treats the collaboration’s aspects and its benefits toagents, which becomes an essential factor in improving the entire chain’s integration and performance.Originality/value – The analysis of the flow of knowledge in supply chains from an OI perspective is aninnovation in theory. Besides, the multidisciplinary proposal is expressed in the framework developed as itis based on a tool from engineering. Supply chain competencies/mindset is important to develop OI as wellas is the contrary – there is a mutual practical and theoretical relevance between the integration of theconcepts

Innovative performance of Brazilian public higher educational institutions Analysis of the remuneration of research groups and companies

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the compensation between research groups and companies that contribute the most for the innovative performance of Brazilian public higher educational institutions (PHEI), using as database the 2010’s tabular plan from CNPq’s Directory of Research Groups. Design/methodology/approach – Descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques such as spearman correlation, cluster analysis, ANOVA and discriminant analysis were used. Findings – Compensations that contribute the most for the updating of the PHEI are identified as transfer of financial resources from the partner to the group; providing grants for the group; transfer of material supplies to partner’s activities; temporary physical transfer of human resources from the group to the activities conducted by the partner; other forms of compensation that do not fit in the previous categories; and partnering with transfers of resources of any kind going in any direction. Research limitations/implications – As a limitation, it is pointed out the discontinuity of the tabular plan, which presents 2010 as the last available data. Practical implications – The results can contribute to programs and policies to encourage innovation within universities. Originality/value – It may be inferred that the stimulus to specific compensations may expand the quantitative idea of interaction points between the university and companies, linking qualitative aspects, which leads to an understanding that such interactions may, in fact, contribute directly to the activity of generating and spreading knowledge and innovatio

Modelo de Negócio de Incubadoras de Empresas: Revisão de Escopo

As incubadoras de empresas são ambientes inovativos que têm como finalidade fomentar a sobrevivência e o desenvolvimento de novos empreendimentos. No entanto, para alcançar tal finalidade é necessário que tais instituições sejam gerenciadas eficientemente como qualquer outro tipo de organização. Para isso é fundamental que se entenda a lógica subjacente desse modelo de negócio. Com base nisso, o objetivo principal do artigo é analisar o que se tem publicado na literatura sobre modelos de negócio de incubadoras de empresas. Assim, partindo-se de uma revisão de escopo, analisou-se um corpus de 30 artigos provenientes de base de dados e revistas internacionais e nacionais. Como principal resultado verificou-se que o tema ainda carece de maior aprofundamento teórico e empírico, visto a falta de artigos que discute essa temática. Por fim, são apresentadas algumas lacunas o que podem resultar em agendas de pesquisas futuras

Telemedicine-Based Management of Oral Anticoagulation Therapy:Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Oral anticoagulation is the cornerstone treatment of several diseases. Its management is often challenging, and different telemedicine strategies have been implemented to support it. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to systematically review the evidence on the impact of telemedicine-based oral anticoagulation management compared to usual care on thromboembolic and bleeding events. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials were searched in 5 databases from inception to September 2021. Two independent reviewers performed study selection and data extraction. Total thromboembolic events, major bleeding, mortality, and time in therapeutic range were assessed. Results were pooled using random effect models. RESULTS: In total, 25 randomized controlled trials were included (n=25,746 patients) and classified as moderate to high risk of bias by the Cochrane tool. Telemedicine resulted in lower rates of thromboembolic events, though not statistically significant (n=13 studies, relative risk [RR] 0.75, 95% CI 0.53-1.07; I2=42%), comparable rates of major bleeding (n=11 studies, RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.82-1.07; I2=0%) and mortality (n=12 studies, RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.78-1.20; I2=11%), and an improved time in therapeutic range (n=16 studies, mean difference 3.38, 95% CI 1.12-5.65; I2=90%). In the subgroup of the multitasking intervention, telemedicine resulted in an important reduction of thromboembolic events (RR 0.20, 95% CI 0.08-0.48). CONCLUSIONS: Telemedicine-based oral anticoagulation management resulted in similar rates of major bleeding and mortality, a trend for fewer thromboembolic events, and better anticoagulation quality compared to standard care. Given the potential benefits of telemedicine-based care, such as greater access to remote populations or people with ambulatory restrictions, these findings may encourage further implementation of eHealth strategies for anticoagulation management, particularly as part of multifaceted interventions for integrated care of chronic diseases. Meanwhile, researchers should develop higher-quality evidence focusing on hard clinical outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and quality of life.

Reflexões sobre a atuação ética do pesquisador em estudos qualitativos: um exemplo envolvendo o tema da religiosidade

The ethical performance of the researcher is an issue that must be considered and discussed in all types of research that may involve human beings. In qualitative research, this is no different and requires extra care, since it will study subjectivity of the subjects to be studied. This study reflects on the ethical performance of the psychologist-researcher. For this, it uses as example a study involving issues of religious order. To make the issue clearer, it will be used examples from a research aimed to show in what sense the religious experience of Catholics could promote personal growth. In carrying out this study, it was used a qualitative approach and the phenomenological method of research.A atuação ética do pesquisador é uma questão que deve ser pensada e discutida em todos os tipos de pesquisa que envolve seres humanos.

Redes de Empresas e Technology Roadmapping: Possibilidade de Conciliação para uma Gestão Estratégica

Apresentando-se como uma estrutura complexa de interações, as redes interorganizacionais devem ser gerenciadas estrategicamente de forma a controlar variáveis dos negócios que influenciam no desempenho. Como uma ferramenta de apoio ao planejamento estratégico, o technology roadmapping (TRM), a partir de estruturação de roteiros baseados em tempo, objetivos e divisão de atividades por linhas setoriais de ação, capacita a gestão a reconhecer especificidades e traçar metas que alinhem objetivos estratégicos à disponibilidade tecnológica. Porém, como o technology roadmap pode ser associado com a gestão das redes de empresas? Como esta ferramenta pode ser utilizada a favor dessas configurações? Essas perguntas norteiam este ensaio teórico. Afim de responde-las, definiu-se como objetivo do presente artigo evidenciar a relação entre redes de empresa e technology roadmapping de forma a apresentar conciliações que facilitem e estimulem novos trabalhos no campo com foco em planejamento estratégico de redes interorganizacionais. Com intuito de complementar as evidências teóricas, também foi desenvolvido uma revisão de escopo sobre as temáticas afim de ressaltar a importância da aplicação do instrumento neste contexto
