IESE's Center for Research in Healthcare Innovation Management has produced a new measurement tool, which they have tested in Barcelona, Madrid, Murcia and Valencia, to help practitioners weigh up innovation options and optimize the use of health resources when treating patients. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1471&ar=14 &idioma=2 Thu, 02 May 2013 12:29:41 GMT The growth of "big data" has been declared one of the top business trends to watch in 2013. Far from looming on the horizon, however, it's already here, demanding that managers take a long, hard look at themselves and their organizations to see if they're ready. IESE professors and researchers suggest some ways for managers to assess their readiness for this and other major shifts ahead. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1441&ar=14 &idioma=2 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:01:18 GMT Like many retailers, Media Markt, Europe's largest retailer of consumer electronics, saw opportunities to boost revenue through online sales. But its first attempt to sell over the Internet led to clashes between its sales channels, and its online store eventually closed. Now, having acquired the Internet dispatcher, Redcoon, Media Markt is ready to try again. Will it fare better the second time around? http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1436&ar=14 &idioma=2 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 11:31:19 GMT IT governance is crucial for the implementation and uptake of eHealth systems. IESE's Magda Rosenmöller finds that a well-defined, well-implemented IT strategy would ensure a better use of IT in hospitals -- an outcome that is urgently required to meet the needs of a new generation of geographically mobile patients. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1435&ar=14 &idioma=2 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:39:37 GMT In this special collection of podcasts recorded during the IESE Global Alumni Reunion held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in November 2012, several leading experts in the areas of economics, IT, health care, media, marketing, strategy and operations comment on global business trends from the perspective of this fast-growing emerging market. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1430&ar=14 &idioma=2 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 19:48:50 GMT When EADS Defense & Security decided to change its supply management strategy, it faced the challenge of a new governance model, a new organizational structure and a new sourcing strategy, made even more complex by the highly politicized nature of defense procurement linked to political as well as business realities. An IESE case study walks readers through the minefield. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1416&ar=14 &idioma=2 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:52:39 GMT The release of the iPhone 5 raised concerns about Apple's ability to meet record-breaking demand, with five million sales in just three days. In their latest paper on supply-chain capabilities in consumer goods, IESE's Philip Moscoso and Alejandro Lago suggest new ways to make supply chains more flexible, in order to match supply and demand more efficiently, both in the short and long runs. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1414&ar=14 &idioma=2 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:37:27 GMT Self-service technology is regarded as a promising substitute for traditional employee-assisted services. However, as Marlene Amorim, Alejandro Lago and Philip Moscoso found when they studied self-checkouts at supermarkets, the way customers perceive efficiency, assistance and convenience has a substantial impact on their satisfaction and subsequent intention to reuse and recommend the service. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1410&ar=14 &idioma=2 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 10:23:43 GMT Staging a major sporting event affords the host city a chance to boost its international profile and reputation. Barcelona, for example, is still reaping the positive effects of hosting the 1992 Olympic Games. As Brazil prepares for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, a case study examines what can be learned from the "Barcelona Effect" 20 years later. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1405&ar=14 &idioma=2 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 12:09:04 GMT Producing in-house when most of your competitors outsource their work may seem counterintuitive. Throw in the fact that competition from lower-cost suppliers will be fierce, and one can only question the wisdom of such a strategy. Yet this is precisely the strategy Loewe was contemplating as it wavered between closing down its manufacturing plant or else transforming it into a center of industrial excellence. http://www.ieseinsight.com/doc.aspx?id=1396&ar=14 &idioma=2 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:11:11 GMT
