Nell’ultimo decennio, il fenomeno dell’innovazione Disruptive ha cambiato radicalmente le dinamiche in diversi settori in tutto il mondo, inasprendo la competizione e rendendo il contesto fortemente dinamico. Aziende come Whatsapp, Uber, Airbnb, Netflix e Amazon sono alcuni degli esempi di successo. Abilitati dalle nuove tecnologie digitali, questi player hanno rivoluzionato i propri settori di appartenenza, introducendo nuovi prodotti, servizi e nuovi modelli di business. Le innovazioni Disruptive derivanti dalle nuove tecnologie digitali rappresentano per gli incumbent sia una minaccia, che un’interessante opportunità di rinnovamento del core business, abbracciando a pieno le possibilità offerte dall’innovazione digitale. L’Italia, in questo senso, sta vivendo un periodo di forte crescita, pur rimanendo un paese in ritardo rispetto al contesto europeo. In un contesto sempre più dinamico e competitivo, misurare le performance dell’innovazione digitale è sempre più una prerogativa per tutte le aziende. Lo scopo della ricerca è quello di capire come le imprese italiane si stanno approcciando alla gestione dell’innovazione digitale e come ne misurano le performance e l’impatto su tutta l’azienda. In particolare, il lavoro di tesi va ad investigare quali sono le motivazioni che spingono maggiormente le aziende a misurare l’impatto dell’innovazione digitale, le dimensioni maggiormente misurate e l’approccio seguito. Viene proposto un framework che intende individuare un’evoluzione di questi elementi in base all’anzianità della Direzione Innovazione, attraverso l’elaborazione dei risultati di una Survey e di interviste dirette rivolte a Chief Innovation Officer ed Innovation Manager di aziende italiane.

Abstract
In the last decade, the Disruptive Innovation phenomenon has radically changed the dynamics in different sectors worldwide, exacerbating the competition and making the context highly dynamic. Companies like Whatsapp, Uber, Airbnb, Netflix and Amazon are some successful examples. Enabled by the new Digital technologies, new players have deeply transformed the sectors in which they operate, introducing new products, services and business models. Disruptive innovations derived by new digital technologies represent for incumbents both a big threat and an interesting opportunity for the renewal of the core business, embracing possibilities offered by Digital Innovation. Italy, in this regard, is experiencing a period of strong growth, although it remains one of the underdeveloped countries in the European context. In an increasingly dynamic and competitive context, measuring the Digital Innovation performances is becoming a prerogative for all the companies. The aim of this research is to understand how Italian companies are approaching the Digital Innovation management, how they measure the performances and the impact on the organization. In particular, the work thesis investigates which are the motivations that drive companies to measure the impact of Digital Innovation, the more measured dimensions and the followed approach. It is proposed a framework intended to identify an evolution of these elements according to the seniority of the Innovation Department, through the elaboration of the results of a Survey and direct interviews addressed to Chief Innovation Officer and Innovation Managers of Italian companies.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
