After a summary of the principles of the functionalist model, we underline how the multipolar model is breaking with the previous one, and the new issues of management and organizational transformation. The corresponding IS tools, that are still largely in their infancy, will be key elements to manage multipolar firms.},

abstract = {This paper focuses on the organization of new product development in large, R&D-intensive firms. In these firms, research and development activities are often separated. Research is conducted in dedicated research projects at specialized research labs. Once research results are achieved by research projects, they are transferred to business units for further development and commercialization. We investigate the speed whereby research projects transfer their first research results to business units (hereafter: transfer speed). In particular, we analyze the antecedents and performance implications of transfer speed. Based on data of 503 research projects from a European R&D intensive manufacturing firm, our results suggest that a fast transfer speed (as measured by the time it takes for a research project to develop and transfer its first research result to business units) is associated with a better research performance (as measured by the total number of transfers the research project generates). Moreover, we find that different types of external R&D partners?science-based and market-based partners?play distinct roles in speeding up project first research transfers. While market-based partnerships (i.e., customers and suppliers) generally contribute to a faster transfer of first research results, science-based partnerships (i.e., universities and research institutions) only speed up first research transfers of technologically very complex projects. Our results also show that early patent filings by research projects accelerate first research transfers.},

abstract = {This paper examines the relationship between (outside-in) open innovation and the financial performance of R&D projects, drawing on a unique dataset that contains information on the open innovation practices, management and performance of 489 R&D projects of a large European multinational firm. We introduce two types of open innovation partnerships - science-based and market-based partnerships - and examine their relationships with project financial performance. In addition, we investigate whether the open innovation?project performance relationships are influenced by the way how R&D projects are managed. Our results show that R&D projects with open innovation partnerships are associated with a better financial performance providing that they are managed in the most suitable way. Market-based partnerships are positively correlated with project performance if a formal project management process is used; however these partnerships are associated with a lower performance for loosely managed projects. In contrast, science-based partnerships are associated with higher project revenues for loosely managed projects only.},

This evolution is little taken into account in the academic field. Too fragmented, speaking little one with another, the disciplines potentially useful for the management or resolution of this phenomenon are too rarely linked together. This article is an exploratory work, intended to show the necessary construction of a research agenda reconciling the works in geopolitics and international security on one hand, and those in organization and management on the other hand. It relies primarily on a method of analysis of the literature, illustrated with empirical examples demonstrating the current events of the subject, and leads to consider that the concept of HRO could find useful avenue for research in investing the confrontation of companies to geopolitical risks by management sciences.},

Although the perception of managers is positive in the majority of studies carried out (Andriole, 2010), the concrete effects of collaborative technologies are still difficult to identify in organizations, and are relatively ambiguous. In particular, one can question the contribution of collaborative technologies to the formation of specific organizational configurations (Puranam et al., 2012). In fact, recent works emphasized the need to analyze more deeply the contribution of IS to organizational configurations (Deweet and Jones, 2001 ; Zammuto et al., 2007 ; Markus, 2010 ; Pascal, 2012). In this exploratory work, we confirm that collaborative technologies can be structuring artifacts of organizational configurations, and that there exist three possible configurations identified in our case studies.},

abstract = {Understanding forces that contribute to the birth of student entrepreneurship is very important, as the entrepreneurial attitude grows in a young student. Economists consider this type of entrepreneurship as a significant drive towards improving societal welfare, while experts of communication emphasize the inclination to entrepreneurial skills and innovation of this generation of entrepreneurs. Other studies have explored student entrepreneurs' ability to build inter-organizational relationships. Despite this entrepreneurial spirit, increasingly seen as a source of innovation in nearly all industries, knowledge is limited on how student entrepreneurship leads to the birth of new enterprises and the renewal of established organizations. Several authors of management studies have shown how higher education and training programs foster student entrepreneurship. No major study to date, however, has taken into consideration other factors, such as digital competence and informal collaborative networks, and assessed their respective influence on students' attitudes to starting a new business. This paper examines the available data provided by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (2011) concerning student entrepreneurship in 40 countries across the world in order to evaluate the influence of these factors, using a PLS-Path Modeling analysis. The findings show that entrepreneurial knowledge is the most important factor in promoting student entrepreneurship, although the presence of informal collaborative networks and the ability to efficiently use the latest technology are also relevant in developing entrepreneurship attitude. The low technological capacity results for student entrepreneurship among the generation of native digital population is confirmation alone on the current importance of reconsidering the development of digital competence in higher education that goes beyond the simple training of technical skills.},

abstract = {The diffusion of ICT in small businesses remains low (Eurostat 2010) and yet among IT applications, the Internet offers opportunities for such businesses to develop their business activity (Scaglione, Schegg et Murphy, 2009). One issue is whether the Internet can be used effectively by these small structures and how the use of this technology can improve the strategic position of small businesses. Our qualitative methodology is based on a study of four companies working in the area of tourist accommodation, a sector which is very advanced in the use of ICT in general and the Internet in particular (Kalika and Rival, 2009; Aldebert et Loufrani-Fedida, 2010). Our research shows that small businesses can use the Internet as a tool for differentiation, notably in areas related to customer relations (marketing, distribution). The successful use of a website depends on a very wise choice of technology linked to the marketing position of the company. The implementation of a strategy must be the result of a deep reflection on the activity of the business because it determines the services and features offered by technology. Finally, it is not so much having a technophile profile that is important, but rather the ability of leaders to perceive the usefulness of technology through their innovative and risk-taking profile.},

abstract = {A growing body of literature has studied innovation and internationalization as essential competitiveness strategies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can achieve growth by launching new products or reaching new customers. A mix of both of these strategies represents a challenging opportunity for businesses. Most studies explore export and research activities as joint explanatory variables. This article contributes to the literature by considering the joint dynamics of internationalization and innovation strategies and measuring the impact of this strategy mix on the financial performance of French SMEs. Both strategies consumehuman, technical, financial, commercial, and organizational resources. The antagonism and the complementarity of international development and innovation activities are explored in this paper. Based on a sample of 335 French SMEs, the results confirm a strong interdependence between technological appropriation in internationalized SMEs and their business growth. Indeed, structuring and engaging in research and development activities for exporting SMEs will contribute to an increase in activity volume. The results also indicate technological resources as a common driver of both innovation and internationalization activities. The combination of product development and geographical market expansion is the most valuable combined strategy that is positively related to research and development intensity.},

Une approche centrée sur les principaux vecteurs de la compétitivité des firmes et s'appuyant directement sur les qualités intrinsèques des PME permet d'offrir un angle d'analyse différent.



L'objectif de cette étude est de démontrer que le processus d'internationalisation suit un développement non linéaire déterministe, conditionné par les caractéristiques idiosyncratiques de la PME. Nos recherches s'inscrivent dans la cadre de l'internationalisation des petites et moyennes entreprises. Nous chercherons à préciser les déterminants de cette internationalisation des PME françaises en observant leurs performances à l'export.



Les résultats montrent un impact positif entre une série de facteurs microéconomiques et sectoriels, et les exportations de 253 entreprises. Plus précisément, ils révèlent qu'une combinaison de facteurs comprenant l'organisation, l'innovation, les TIC, le dirigeant et la maîtrise de langues étrangères fait fortement varier les exportations dans tous les secteurs.},

B.56 (1) 3-48] to compare models with and without cross-brand pass-through, Dubé and Gupta [Dubé, J.-P., S. Gupta. 2008. Cross-brand pass-through in supermarket pricing. Marketing Sci.27 (3) 324-333] found that, in the refrigerated orange juice category, a model with cross-brand pass-through was selected 68% of the time. However, Lenk [Lenk, P. J. 2009. Simulation pseudo-bias correction to the harmonic mean estimator of integrated likelihoods. J. Comput. Graph. Statist.18(1) 941-960] has demonstrated that the infinite variance harmonic mean estimator often exhibits simulation pseudo-bias in favor of more complex models. We replicate the results of Dubé and Gupta in the refrigerated orange juice category and then show that any of three more stable finite variance estimators select the model with cross-brand pass-through less than 1% of the time. Relaxing the assumption that model errors are distributed normally eliminates all instances in which the cross-brand pass-through model is selected. In 10 additional categories, the harmonic-mean-estimated Bayes factor selects the model with cross-brand pass-through 69% of the time, whereas a finite variance estimator of the Bayes factor selects the model with cross-brand pass-through only 5% of the time. Applying arguments in McAlister [McAlister, L. 2007. Cross-brand pass-through: Fact or artifact? Marketing Sci.26 (6) 876--898], these 5% of cases can be attributed to capitalization on chance. We conclude that Dubé and Gupta should not be interpreted as providing evidence of cross-brand pass-through.},

First, open innovation requires that the role of lead users is not analysed only at the dyad level but also at the value network level. Second, we use the innovation funnel as a tool to analyse the dynamics between lead users and the innovating firm. Finally, we show how outbound innovation activities of the innovating firm have a profound impact on the relationship between the innovating firm and its lead users.},
