In particular, the influence of the form of SC governance on the selection of SC co-ordination mechanisms is ...

The reasons that push firms to go ‘green’ can be very different, such as legitimacy, competitiveness, and ecological responsibility (e.g. Shrivastava and Hart 1995; Bansal and Roth 2000; Gonzalez-Benito and Gonzalez-Benito 2006; MurilloLuna et al. 2008). As a result, a growing number of companies are embracing environmental sustainability into their strategies (Dyllick and Hockerts 2002). In this context, the development of green products is becoming more and more relevant. In fact, the Green Paper on Integrated Product Policy (Commission of the European Communities 2001) states that one way to achieve the target of sustainable development is “a new growth paradigm and a higher quality of life through wealth creation and competitiveness on the basis of greener products”. The development of green products can also be a means for companies to achieve competitive advantage. For example, Porter and Reinhardt (2007) highlight the need for companies to adopt a strategic approach to climate and to take action now, underlining the opportunity to gain competitive advantage by creating green

This chapter presents the results of the study comparing multi-attribute auctions and multi-bilateral multi-attribute negotiations. To this end an online multi-attribute reverse auction system and a multi-bilateral e-negotiation system have been developed on the basis of Invite platform. Both systems share—inasmuch as possible—the same interface components. The systems were used in three exploratory experiments. The results indicate that reverse auctions, in which the winning bids are shown, produce significantly better outcomes for buyers and worse outcomes for sellers. Auctions with the deadline shorter than two hours produce better outcomes than auctions lasting several days. Overall, the sellers’ satisfaction with outcome and their consideration of the outcome being favorable to the company is not significantly higher in auctions than in negotiations. The exception is reverse auction in which all bids are shown; this mechanism type is better for sellers and worse for bid takers than both negotiation and auction in which only winning bid is shown. © Gregory E.

Behavioral economics experiments focused on the mechanism efficiency which required highly simplified problems and contexts. This paper discusses an on-going project involving an experimental comparison of auction and negotiation mechanisms embedded in software which we have developed. Both reverse multi-attribute auctions and multi-bilateral negotiations are used in a transportation service procurement scenario. The potential contribution includes the verification of theoretical claims that auctions are more profitable for auction givers than negotiations. It also includes formulation of guidelines for appropriate design of multiattribute market mechanisms and their selection.

Urban labs usually face complexity in managing the contributions of several heterogeneous actors. The paper presents the Urban Lab Methodology (ULM), which supports the management of urban labs by integrating Soft System Methodology with an open innovation framework previously developed by the authors. The former is a methodology to facilitate the structuration and solution of complex problems involving different stakeholders, whereas the latter aims at suggesting an association between the innovation context and the open innovation practices to be adopted. ULM is used to analyze the case study of Manifesto della Città Vecchia e del Mare (" The Old Town and Sea Manifesto "), a urban lab created in Taranto (Italy) in 2014. The analysis shows that theoretical prescriptions are to a great extent coherent with the real course of action and ULM is relatively easy to be adopted.
