“…Practitioners suggest that the adoption of IoT will lead to a world where products communicate with each other, even in the recycling process. To allow the collecting process to be effective private and public investment should be considered in a joint co‐production process, as it happens in healthcare and other public service domains (Batalden et al, 2016; Dal Mas, Biancuzzi, et al, 2020; Osborne & Strokosch, 2013). Although technology seems to be there to provide new and innovative solutions to the CE, scholars seem to lack behind, with no studies focused on the specific problems related to the co‐production process.…”

“…Additionally, using Industry 4.0, companies can activate projects and environmental management systems aimed at energy saving, safeguarding the territory and conserving the planet's natural resources (Oliveira, Oliveira, Ometto, Ferraudo, & Salgado, 2016). Often, this leads to the creation of new business models based on the sustainability of corporate actions (Massaro, Dal Mas, Chiappetta Jabbour, & Bagnoli, 2020; Dal Mas, Piccolo, Edvinsson, Skrap, & D'Auria, 2020; Dal Mas, Biancuzzi, Massaro, & Miceli, 2020; Mastos et al, 2020; Tunn, Bocken, van den Hende, & Schoormans, 2019). The change in the organisational strategies of companies is also an essential element.…”

The union between Industry 4.0 and the circular economy (CE) appears relatively recent. In this sense, new trading zones for sharing a common scenario among academics and practitioners are needed. The paper aims to investigate the link between Industry 4.0 and the CE by understanding how Industry 4.0 can foster the impact of the CE on companies. The study proposes a broader perspective that includes thematic and content analysis gathering data on professional documents based on business cases, newspaper articles, press releases and specialised blogs, as well as scientific papers. The joint academic‐practitioners view highlights how Industry 4.0 has the potential to impact on the CE through countless actions: increasing waste disposal; promoting remanufacturing; enhancing the efficiency of critical resources such as water, energy, gas and CO2; and improving business models and the mission of companies. However, barriers still exist in its adoption, stressing the need for holistic and integrated design and a proactive environment of collaboration among stakeholders. Results lead to practical as well as research implications.

“…Data collection and analysis were made involving several stakeholders from the Institute, including physicians and oncology experts, patients, and a public policy researcher involved in one of the Breast Unit's project, named "Oncology in Motion" Dal Mas et al, 2020a). More than 30 semi-structured interviews and 20 internal meetings about the abovementioned project were carried on in the period January 2019 -February 2020.…”

“…While a multidisciplinary professional perspective is required in medicine and surgery (Gabel, Hilton and Nathanson, 1997;Olson, Tooman, and Alvarado, 2010;Qadan et al, 2020), there is an www.ejkm.com 213 ISSN 1479-4411 increasing call to engage the patients in the co-production of the healthcare products and services (Batalden et al, 2016;Dal Mas, et al, 2020a;Osborne and Strokosch, 2013). In such a perspective, the topic of knowledge translation is gaining increasing recognition both from academia as well as practice due to its decisive role in supporting innovation and the creation of new knowledge (Dal Mas, et al, 2020a;Simeone, Secundo and Schiuma, 2018). Knowledge translation is needed when the stakeholders involved have diverse characteristics in terms of skills, competencies, and expertise (Lemire, Souffez, and Laurendeau, 2013;Savory, 2006).…”

Knowledge translation (KT) is the ability to make knowledge accessible to different stakeholders by translating it into various contexts. Translating knowledge is particularly crucial in the healthcare sector, which is currently under significant pressure due to technological innovation, increasing demand of services by an ageing population, budget reductions, and new organisational challenges posed by the latest events like the COVID‑19 pandemic. While the first definition of KT was focused on the translation of scientific research into clinical practice, other types of KT later emerged. In healthcare, while stakeholders have different skills and competencies (such as clinical scientists versus physicians or other healthcare professionals), others experience diverse emotional feelings (like the patients or their families). An effective KT allows the transfer, sharing, and creation of new knowledge, enhancing innovation and co‑production dynamics. The paper employs a case study by analysing the Breast Unit of the C.R.O. National Cancer Institue of Aviano, Italy, one of the most acknowledged hospitals and research centres in Europe in the field of cancer surgery and treatments. The paper aims at studying the knowledge translation dynamics and tools by analysing the various relationships with the internal as well as the external stakeholders of the Breast Unit. Internally, knowledge translation is needed to merge the competencies of highly skilled multidisciplinary teams, which include surgeons and physicians with various specialities, researchers, psychologists, nurses and other healthcare professionals. Externally, knowledge is translated to meet the needs of patients, patients' associations, sponsors, citizens, and policymakers. Results highlight how different techniques and dynamics allow KT to happen within internal as well as external groups. Contributing to the knowledge management and knowledge translation theories, our findings open up to practical as well as research implications.

“…17 The hybrid role of medical doctors has inspired the establishment of new clinical curricula, like the Technical Medicine one for Technical Physicians. 18 The multidisciplinary nature of the various stakeholders involved increases the need for effective knowledge translation tools 19 to allow the transfer, sharing and creation of new knowledge.…”
