“…However, they considered only the WTP, price differential, and attractiveness, respectively, and none of them investigated the possible effects of business models as only the traditional buying model was considered. Although some researchers have projected that the rental model has a positive effect on the remanufacturing industry (e.g., [8,[41][42][43]), its effects on the consumer valuation have not been investigated in detail. Lieder et al [40] presented a unique study taking into account various business models of a remanufactured product, but the effect of product category was not examined as the case was fixed to the example of washing machine.…”

Understanding consumer valuation of remanufactured products is vital to the success of the remanufacturing business. However, whether and how product categories and business models influence the consumer valuation have not been investigated in detail. To test the effects of product categories and business models on the consumer valuation and acceptance of remanufactured products empirically, this study presents a survey on the relative value of remanufactured products perceived by the consumers. Six product categories (low-end laptops, high-end laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, printers, and water purifiers) and two business models (the buying model and the rental model) were selected as the factors. Negative perception (NP), purchase intention (PI), and acceptable prices (APs) were used as measures of the perceived value. A group of 95 students from a Korean university participated in the survey. Statistical hypothesis testing shows that both the product categories and the business models cause significant differences in the relative value of remanufactured products. Especially, the results indicate that certain product categories are more advantageous for remanufacturing from a consumer-demand viewpoint. The results also show that the suitability of the rental model varies across the product categories; for certain categories, the rental model can be a better option for remanufacturing.

This chapter deals with the central role of manufacturing in developed and developing countries, assessing how relevant it is from economic and social perspectives. The current international and Italian manufacturing contexts are analysed by highlighting the main criticalities and the impact of relevant global megatrends. Then, the main ongoing industrial research initiatives are presented both at international and Italian level. Based on the elaboration of current context and research initiatives, the Italian Flagship Project Factories of the Future defined five research priorities for the future of the manufacturing industry. Based on these priorities, the flagship project funded a total of 18 small-sized research projects after a competition based on calls for proposals. The results of the funded research projects are analysed in terms of scientific and industrial results, while providing references for more detailed descriptions in the specific chapters. 1.1 The Importance of Manufacturing Industry Manufacturing industry plays a central role in the economy of developed countries for the generation of wealth, jobs and a growing quality of life. Beyond being a sector capable of directly producing wealth and employment, manufacturing industry is a fundamental pillar of the whole economy. In 2016 the value added of manufacturing represented 15.6% and 14.3% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at world and European Union level, respectively. A relevant number of persons are directly

“…• Remanufacturing, when product has to be re-built to bring it at initial specifications (using a combination of new, reused and repaired parts) [20]. Recently, the concept of remanufacturing with upgrade has also been proposed in addition to traditional remanufacturing [21], as well as the option to use in other products the functions provided by some components of the de-manufactured product. • Recycling, when the state of the product is not anymore compatible with restore of functionalities and its materials are used to produce secondary raw materials that can be re-used in the same production process (closed loop recycling) or in other processes (open loop recycling).…”

“…It is estimated that Circular Economy will provide a saving of production resources expenditure amounting at 600 billion euro per year in EU [27]. In addition, Circular Economy offers companies the opportunity to innovate their business model in the direction of servitisation [28], thus increasing the added value-and profitability-of their offering while limiting environmental impact at the same time [21] (cf. SDG 8.4 [15]).…”

“…For example, according to the concept of Frugal Innovation, manufacturers can offer affordable high-quality products in emerging global markets [32]. Remanufacturing with upgrade, through which new advanced functionalities can be added to products during remanufacturing operations, coupled with advanced non-ownership based services, can offer customers products with frequently upgraded performance avoiding the need to buy new expensive products [21].…”

This chapter investigates research priorities for factories of the future by adopting an approach based on mission-oriented policies to support manufacturing innovation. Missions are challenging from a scientific and technological point of view and, at the same time, are addressing problems and providing results that are understandable by common people. Missions are based on clear targets that can help mitigating grand challenges. Based on the results of the Italian Flagship Project Factories of the Future, this chapter proposes seven missions while identifying the societal impact, the technological and industrial challenges, and the barriers to be overcome. These missions cover topics such as circular economy, rapid and sustainable industrialisation, robotic assistant, factories for personalised medicine, internet of actions, factories close to the people, and turning ideas into products. The accomplishment of missions asks for the support of a proper research environment in terms of infrastructures to test and demonstrate the results to a wide public. Research infrastructures together with funding mechanisms will be better addressed in the next chapter of this book. 20.1 Mission-Oriented Research and Innovation Policies The importance of the manufacturing industry both for developed and developing countries has been assessed in several works [1-4], which highlight the need of continuous innovation to cope with societal grand challenges [5].
