- Sven Packmohr - Malmö University, Sweden
Sven received his Ph.D. in Strategic Management in the Digital Economy from the University of Osnabrück, Germany. After, he worked for universities in Oman, Sweden, and Turkey. Currently, he is involved in a research project with fellows in Germany called digital transformation. The aim is to identify drivers, factors for acceptance and barriers which foster or hinder the application of digital transformation. Next steps are comparisons between countries and evolvement into other industries. Sven is also a member of the Data Society, which is a multidisciplinary research program started at Malmö University.
- Virginia Fani - University of Florence, Italy
Virginia Fani is a postdoctoral researcher at the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Florence. Her main research activities deal with supply chain, production and product lifecycle management. Her current research interests are focused on the application of algorithms and technologies to improve industrial outcomes, both from economic and environmental perspectives. Simulation modelling and data mining techniques are the main tools used to support scenario analyses and ‘from data to knowledge’ scopes respectively, mostly developed according to a data-driven approach. The main industry she has experience with is the fashion one, with a particular attention to its peculiarities such as the uncertain demand and High Variety / Low Volume environment to manage.
