Significance Dunbar hypothesized, on the basis of empirical evidence, that a typical individual can have stable relation with at most 150 other people. We establish this number results from internal dynamics complex network. Two network models having phase transitions are used to determine optimal size for efficient information exchange. Such criticality generates intermittent events, time intervals between successive events being independent (renewal) and scaling. The scaling index depends...
Today organizations increasingly rely on working teams to compete in complex and turbulent environments since they exhibit high resilience, the ability change, secure desirable conditions after disruptions occurred. Improving team resilience is thus becoming a critical question understanding its determinants mandatory issue literature. In this article, we contribute topic by investigating whether how pattern of social interactions among members influences resilience. To aim, conceptualize as...
This paper investigates the resilience of circular economy (CE) networks. By adopting a graph theory approach, novel simulation model is developed to simulate performance under effect multiple types disruptions. Simulation analyses are carried out analyse structural pattern CE network on by comparing across scale-free, small-world, and Erdos-Renyii-like patterns. The results confirm that affects resilience. In particular, they show networks characterized scale-free absorb random-placed...
Purpose Circular economy (CE) disclosure is becoming urgent for firms, but an accepted and recognized approach to address it still missing, especially at small medium enterprises (SMEs) level. This study aims contribute this issue by exploring the potential of adoption Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards as a standardized CE disclosure. The paper proposes framework that identifies existence specific relationships between topics included in GRI 300 strategies, which can be considered...
Multiple stakeholders are responsible for the supply chain redesign transition to Circular Supply Chains (CSCs). Despite it has been demonstrated that certain (SC) capabilities and Digital Technologies (DTs) can play a determinant role on design of specific CSC archetypes, current knowledge remains still sparse. To fill this research gap, we conduct Systematic Literature Review. Results show SC required closing (inter-sectorial collaboration, intra-sectorial flexibility, visibility,...
Abstract In today's rapidly evolving landscape, supply chains must develop specific dynamic capabilities for initiating and successfully governing their transformations toward new configurations to withstand pressures arising from competitions global changes. Differently that enable adaptation, chain transformative include four core dimensions: triggering, envisioning, navigating, stabilizing capabilities. By using a multiple‐case study approach involving six Italian companies related...
How are teams able to cope with environmental threats? Why some better than others in facing this challenge? This paper addresses these questions by investigating two drivers of team resilience: the size and density social interactions among members. We adopt a complex system approach employ model decision‐making where collective dynamics members governed continuous‐time Markov process. The simulates performance turbulent environments. It is used measure resilient ability quickly adapt...
A large number of optimization algorithms have been developed by researchers to solve a variety complex problems in operations management area. We present novel algorithm belonging the class swarm intelligence methods. The mimics decision making process human groups and exploits dynamics such as tool for combinatorial problems. In order achieve this aim, we employ properly modified version recently published model [64,65], how humans group modify their opinions driven self-interest consensus...
Today need for replacing linear-oriented production systems with circular-oriented ones is urgent. Circular Economy networks promote the continuous reuse of resources and products, recapturing value from by-products end-of-life resources, minimising resource leakage out systems. However, design management CE networks, although representing an important issue worldwide, has been scarcely investigated so far. In this study, we argue that should be resilient to better face frequent...
Circular Supply Chains (CSCs) are self-regenerative ecosystems adopting the principles of Economy to extract new value from end-of-life resources, extend product life, and increase resource efficiency toward zero-waste operating conditions. CSCs boundaries closed loop SCs by involving multiple stakeholders, with both firms belonging linear supply chain stages organizations external industrial networks, carrying out circular activities. Both them required collaborate on managing flows i.e.,...
We develop a conceptual framework for studying collective adaptation in complex socio-cognitive systems, driven by dynamic interactions of social integration strategies, environments, and problem structures. Going beyond searching “intelligent” collectives, we integrate research from different disciplines outline modelling approaches that can be used to begin answering questions such as why collectives sometimes fail reach seemingly obvious solutions, how they change their strategies network...
Nowadays, industrial firms are increasingly required to develop resilient supply chains better face turbulent environments by adapting unforeseen and frequent disruptions. In this regard, researchers strongly agree that fostering innovation toward circular business models can influence resilience capability development. Findings, however, still fragmented sparse. To aim, a systematic literature review of previous studies is conducted. The results content analyses presented, their...
Dunbar hypothesized that $150$ is the maximal number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. We explain this effect as being a consequence process self-organization between $N$ units leading their system to edge phase transition, usually termed criticality. Criticality generates events, an inter-event time interval distribution characterized by inverse power law (IPL) index $μ_{S}<2$. These events break ergodicity and we refer them crucial events. The group makes...
