ANTONELLO CAMMARANO Curriculum

I am a Researcher at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Salerno, where I earned my Ph.D. in Engineering and Economics of Innovation in 2016. I currently lecture in Economy and Business Organization, Innovation and Technology Management, Smart Supply Chain Management, and Start-up and Business Planning.

My research focuses on emerging technologies, innovation and knowledge management, open innovation, patents, start-ups, supply chain management, sustainable development, technology foresight, opportunity analysis, strategic technology management, and more. Additionally, I am a dedicated software developer, data scientist, and enthusiast in artificial intelligence.

Within my department, I am an active member of the Laboratory of Economics and Management Engineering. I lead two international research groups:

  • Emerging, Sustainable and Smart Technologies (est. 2021): Investigating how emerging technologies impact business performance.
  • Technology and Management (est. 2020): Exploring the interplay between technology, managerial practices, innovation, and sustainability.

I serve as Associate Editor for Operations Management Research and Editor for Scientific Reports (Springer Nature). Since 2018, I have been on the Editorial Review Board of IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management. I also serve as Guest Editor for various special issues on emerging technologies and sustainability.

My work is published in several journals, including Business Process Management Journal, Creativity and Innovation Management, European Journal of Innovation Management, European Management Journal, IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Innovation: Organization and Management, International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management, Journal of Engineering and Technology Management, Journal of Industrial Information Integration, Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, Journal of Knowledge Management, Management Decision, Operations Management Research, Sustainable Development, Sustainable Production and Consumption, Technology Analysis & Strategic Management, and Technology in Society.
