Ricerca

The research activities are articulated along two main streams:

  1. The first research stream concerns Purchasing and Supply Management (PSM), with a particular focus on how digitalisation and sustainability transitions affect supply networks and vendor management practices. Within this stream, a specific line of research is dedicated to Supply Chain Finance (SCF), a set of practices aimed at supporting suppliers from both a financial and operational perspective. This research investigates the ongoing evolution of SCF, particularly in light of the integration of sustainability practices and digital technologies
  2. The second research stream focuses on the adoption of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and its implications for supply chain design and performance. This work continues the research initiated during my doctoral studies and has since expanded to address recent developments in the field. The objective is to analyse how AM adoption influences supply chain configuration choices and contributes to performance improvements, with particular attention to sustainability-related impacts.
