Research lines

The project investigates the complex relationship between people – considered in both their individual and social dimensions – and digital technologies, according to three main research lines.

The three areas cover in a complementary and synergistic way the different levels in which the person-technology relationship influences the key characteristics of industrial systems, i.e., the development of technology and its adoption in the transformation processes of organisational systems and in the reconfiguration of work systems.

Human-centred digital technology development models and processes

The goal is to support the development of theories, models, tools and processes capable to integrate the human dimension into managerial practices of technological development with the aim of steering digital technologies toward the well-being of individuals and society.

These are the main research topics:

Models and approaches aimed at introducing a person-centred perspective into innovation processes to contribute to people's well-being and respond to today's social challenges.
Funding human-centred innovation.
Innovation, competition, and industrial dynamics for collective well-being

Resilient and sustainable production, logistics and supply chain processes, enabled by digital technologies

The line aims to study the role and impact of digital innovation in the development of industrial systems and supply chains oriented towards personal and collective wellbeing, especially through an enhancement of regenerative and resilience capacities.

These are the main research topics:

Collaborative and distributed manufacturing models enabled by digital platforms.
Models and methods for configuring and managing regenerative and resilient industrial supply chains.

Digital-enabled, human-centred organisational models and work systems

This line aims to develop new joint technology-organisation, technology-job, technology-work-system design approaches oriented at improving not only economic but also social performance through a better understanding of the impacts of digital technologies on people, including behavioral, cognitive and psycho-physical aspects.

These are the main research themes:

Digital technologies and new person-centred organisational and work models.
Person-centered digital factory model.
Digital technologies and models for the development of new skills, inclusion and diversity management.
