Research interests and activities
Research activities have been carried out in the field of operations management, concerning both
manufacturing (enterprise modeling and engineering, agent-based manufacturing systems, emarketplace design, negotiation in electronic commerce) and product development (methodological
and technological innovation in product development, design coordination, product architecture
design, business impact of new product development practice).
Such activities have mostly been performed within basic and applied research projects, both at
national and European level. Research has led to the authoring or co-authoring of more than seventy
scientific papers, of which eighteen have been published in international refereed journals (see list
