The paper presents an investigation carried out in an Italian health organisation, aimed at studying the purchasing process of medical equipment at the hospital ward level, and at assessing its impact on hospital ward performance.

If I were to purchase a large parcel of land, oh, around 400 acres or so, I would thoroughly investigate what, if any, future plans there might be on this land.

Flood control for instance, isn't it logical to resolve problems first instead of later? Why just purchase the property and sue different entities afterward, makes no logical sense.
