Merlet, Jimmy. "Transformation numérique des entreprises, innovation et Responsabilité Sociale d’Entreprise (RSE)." Thesis, Rennes 1, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020REN1G004.
Full textThe digital transformation of companies is changing the organisation of work and raises social and environmental challenges. This observation leads us to analyse the impact of these changes on employees and more broadly on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Firstly, an empirical analysis of the numerical determinants of CSR within Artisanal Enterprises (EA) is carried out. The results underline the influence of numerical factors in the deployment of responsible approaches. Secondly, this thesis studies the relationship between a telecommuting approach (social innovation) and technological innovation (product and process). This research highlights the positive impact of telecommuting (organisational and management) on product innovation. The latest research analyzes the influence of corporate governance on the interest in digital in the CSR reports of CAC 40 companies. This research illustrates how and why companies are paying increasing attention to digital in their CSR approaches. This thesis, beyond its academic contributions, has managerial and public policy implications
Yousfi, Sonia. "Innovation des entreprises et rotation du personnel." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023UBFCG004.
Full textFirms are facing an increasingly competitive and complex environment, with globalization, fragmentation, and diversification of markets. R&{}D investments can help companies to adapt, but it is the skills and creativity of employees that distinguish high-performing companies from others. To retain employees and reduce absenteeism and quitting behavior, staff turnover is a key factor in companies' success.However, its effects on firm’ performance, in terms of both productivity and innovation, remain poorly analyzed in the literature. Intuitively, we can see that its effects can be either beneficial or negative to the company. In fact, a moderate rate of employee turnover is normal and healthy for a company. Adding new people ensures diversity and succession. In addition, "new blood" stimulates the environment and culture of the company. New collaborators bring their experience acquired in other companies as well as from competitors, which is favorable to the company.However, employee's turnover can lead to a loss of human capital. When individuals leave a company, it is often associated with a loss of expertise that is difficult to replace, as well as costs related to the training and integration of new collaborators. This fluctuation of personnel can lead to a temporary decrease in productivity and generate costs such as production loss, transition, and recruitment fees.The objective of this thesis will be to analyze the theoretical links and empirically study the relationship between employee's turnover, innovation, and their impact on productivity
Lefebvre, Hervé. "La domotique : le rôle des réseaux dans un processus d'innovation interactive." Grenoble 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997GRE21015.
Full textThe thesis's purpose is to explain why home automation innovation diffusion has encountered much more difficulties then expected. This innovation takes part to an information techno-economic paradigm. Because of the diversity of techniques and producers, the promotion of this innovation needs the establishment of interactions and innovation networks. The work's assumption is that innovations are both technical and organisational processes. So, the innovation success depends on networks quality established to support it. The stake's network is the development of a more receptive environment. The first part explains the factors which have conducted home automation innovation in a locking situation : no controlled costs and prices, insufficiency of standardization processes, weakness of learning and the diversity of innovations representations. These different factors conduct home automation in a technical and trade instability situation. In face of such problems, home automation manufacturers have set up an innovation network. The second part shows that innovation networks are effective means to reach learning levels and to build irreversibilities; but these networks request new organizational forms and a new actor, the network entrepreneur. The success of the innovation depends on the kind of the network and the utilisation of penetration or diffusion rates can't be done before that socio-technical agreements are realised. Considering only quantifiable factors to analyse conditions of success means taking into account only technical factors and loosing social factors
Fei, Yue. "Essays on Venture Capital and Innovation." Thesis, Toulouse 1, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019TOU10030.
Full textThis dissertation investigates the firm incentives to participate in entrepreneurial and innovative activities. The first chapter examines and evaluates the private sector’s response to public involvement in venture capital. The second chapter studies and estimates the performance gap between government linked and private venture capitalists and the determining factors of this performance gap. The third chapter provides a theoretical framework to understand and analyze the firm-level innovation incentives in the industrial networks. In Chapter 1, titled "Can Governments Foster the Development of Venture Capital?", I examine the role of government intervention in the emergence of venture capital (VC) in China during 1999-2013 using a novel dataset and a unique policy experiment. The difference-indifference analysis shows that the central government program leads to an increase in local investment from both government and private VCs. In Chapter 2, titled "(Under)performance of government venture capitalists: Evidence and explanations", using the sample from the same source as in Chapter 1, I find that startups backed by government VCs are less likely to have Initial Public Offering (IPO) exits than private VCs. Evidence shows that the performance gap is narrowed down when the VC market develops into a more mature stage. In Chapter 3, titled "Firm Level Match under Imperfect Information Along the Global Value Chain", (joint with Rui Zhang), we develop a 1-m frictional positive assortative matching (PAM) model along the global value chain. We show the existence of multiple equilibria where a supplier could be matched to different headquarters, but at different stages on the value chain. Our model also features countervailing forces of firm innovation incentives and we predict a nonmonotonic pattern between innovation and firm productivity

Full textThe main subject of the thesis is to analyse the contribution of the concept of competence to explain the relation between size of the firm and innovation. We analyse the major books of j. A. Schumpeter to put in light that these interpretations of neo-schumpeterians are subject to critics. Taking in account the conceptual coherence between books of schumpeter, we show that the model of "schumpeter i" prevailing. After a review of the theoretical and empirical approaches, a conceptual approach is proposed to elaborate a theory of the firm based on the concept of competence. This perspective is prevalent to explain the variety of innovative behaviour of the firm. Two models are developed. Firstly, we develop a model of innovative behaviour of a firm in function of his repertory of competencies in a dynamical, non-stochastic context. Secondly, we demonstrate mathematically the theory of organisational knowledge creation of nonaka's model [1994]. We propose also to analyse ours results in empirical terms. We show that the model of 'schumpeter i' is refuted and globally big enterprise are more competent to innovate
Bianchini, Stefano. "Three essays on firm growth, innovation, and persistent performance." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015STRAB011/document.
Full textThe three essays focus on the process of firm growth, its persistence, and on the role of innovation in affecting firm performance. In the first essay we concentrate on persistence of high-growth and investigate whether this peculiar growth pattern is associated with better operating capabilities. The second essay aims to explore the relationship between growth and innovation, taking into accountthe multidimensional nature of the innovation process. We provide a broad picture of the relationship between growth and innovation, by looking at a wide set of innovation variables that capture the different sources, modes and types of innovative activity undertaken within firms. In the third essay we examine the role of persistence of innovation on persistence of growth performance, assessing whether a systematic, rather than sporadic, engagement in innovation activities induces more structure in the process of firm growth

Full textThe process of firm growth – in terms of productivity or export performance – is a major concern for policy makers. In this context, innovations play a crucial role in stimulating firm performance. This thesis empirically studies the impact of "product" innovation (as distinct from "process" innovation) on the performance of firms. The literature review presented in Chapter 2 describes the mechanisms that govern the relationship between innovation and productivity and the relationship between innovation and firms’ export behaviour. Chapter 3 presents a description of the notion of innovation and its measurement in the economic literature. We present Global New Product Database (GNPD), the database we use to construct an innovation database. Chapter 4 estimates the effect of the innovation produced on the export behaviour of French dairy firms. We show that the introduction of a new product has a positive impact not only on the prices offered by the company but also on their demand. Chapter 5 examines the role of product innovation in the learning by exporting process. We show that exports strengthen the innovative capacity of firm, which in turn increases the productivity of firms. Chapter 6 deals with the persistence of product innovation in the French dairy industry. We show that the firms that are most likely to innovate are those that innovated the previous year. Thus, this thesis show, thanks to a new measure of product innovation, that it allows companies to export, increase their productivity and remain innovative

Full textThe industry of the companies of the drug knows today deep technological, institutional and economic upheavals which lead the economists to raise new questions: how do the firms in the course of time evolve/move? Which are the structures of governance most appropriate to each stage of the cycle of life? Which are the consequences on the strategies of the firms?The objective is to define the structure of governance which makes it possible the companies to maintain an organization flexible, suited to the change, innovating, effective and especially generator of value, whatever the stage of the cycle of life to which they are. Thus, our analysis will jointly use the analyses on the cycle of life and those on the government of company
Savignac, Frédérique. "Le financement des entreprises innovantes." Phd thesis, Université Panthéon-Sorbonne - Paris I, 2006. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00140525.
Full textLe premier chapitre examine si les entreprises engagées dans des activités innovantes rencontrent des contraintes de financement qui leur sont spécifiques. Nous proposons un modèle structurel définissant la probabilité qu'une entreprise contracte de nouveaux emprunts bancaires. Les estimations menées à partir des données de la Centrale de Bilans de la Banque de France révèlent que les entreprises engagées dans des activités innovantes ont une probabilité plus faible de contracter de nouveaux emprunts bancaires, toutes choses égales par ailleurs, du fait d'un taux d'intérêt latent plus élevé et d'une sensibilité plus forte de ce taux au montant emprunté.
Le deuxième chapitre étudie l'impact des difficultés de financement sur le comportement innovant des entreprises à l'aide d'une mesure directe de la présence de contraintes financières fournie par l'enquête FIT (Sessi). En tenant compte de l'endogénéité de cet indicateur, nous trouvons que les entreprises souhaitant innover rencontrent des contraintes financières qui diminuent significativement la probabilité qu'elles le fassent effectivement.
Enfin, le troisième chapitre s'intéresse plus spécifiquement au mode de financement des projets innovants des jeunes entreprises innovantes. Il propose un modèle simple qui permet d'établir, en fonction des caractéristiques de l'entreprise et de son projet innovant, le mode de financement qui lui est adapté : prêts bancaires, apports de fonds propres du capital-risque ou financement interne. Le modèle est ensuite simulé à partir des informations empiriques disponibles.
Langinier, Corinne. "Analyse économique des brevets dans les entreprises." Toulouse 1, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997TOU10055.
Full textThis thesis deals with the economic study of patents. The objective is to design economic tools which could be helpful for manager and public decisions. This study is an attempt to explain why an innovator decides to file a patent. Three levels of answers are proposed. An innovator can decide to file a patent in order to exploit the innovation (first level), to prevent its use from competitors or not to be prevented (second level) and also to transmit a signal (third level). The first level is a classic economic analysis in which an innovator determines the patent deposit date, the scope of the protection it needs and the patent duration. Also, firms have generally more than one patent and the synergy effects are important. A second patent is then introduced in the study. The competition is introduced in the second level in which we consider that the innovator takes a strategic decision. The patent deposit date and its renewal are decisions that can confirm and increase a market power. The third level introduces the strategic use of patents as signals. When a firm files a patent, it transmits a complex signal. Firms do not have the same information about the value of an innovation or about the market profitability. The most informed firm can decide to act strategically not revealing information, or in order revealing false information
Baki, Maha. "Pratiques d'intelligence économique et innovation dans les entreprises agroalimentaires en Algérie." Thesis, Montpellier, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016MONTD019.
Full textThis work goal is to investigate whether the Business intelligence exists in the agri-food companies sector in Algeria, and, if appropriate, to determine the practices adopted by the company, and to study their mechanism of intervention in the innovation process. The exploratory study of business intelligence practices and innovation process was carried out in ten algerian agribusiness companies; it relied on the qualitative approach and was performed according to the case study strategy by combining non-participant observation and semi-directive interviews and documentary consultation.One of the main results obtained through our study is that the main actors of the companies surveyed do not have a particular methodology for formal and structured Business Intelligence, but that all set goals for monitoring and collecting information. With rare exceptions, it is only in crisis situations, that their Business Intelligence efforts are focused on the short term, and the information required for the proper solution is sought urgently.Based on the theoretical contributions of the literature, we defended the thesis that in the processes of decision making and innovation of the company, it would be wiser to consider both formal Business Intelligence practices (systems, monitoring unit, ...) and informal (networks, associations, relationships, ...) for better performance of the innovation process. A qualified model "innovative intelligence" was proposed, which is to innovate through a comprehensive Business Intelligence system covering all Business intelligence practices and bringing together all sources of information (formal and informal).A proactive approach probably dictated by the changing economic and social environment of the country due to the effects of the last "oil shock" on the economic landscape, however, was observed in some companies, this seems to be a sign capable of foreshadow the establishment, on a larger scale, the practice of formal and structured Business intelligence, and its effective ownership in Agri-Food sector companies. In addition, factors influencing the choice of formal and / or informal Business intelligence practices were found in the companies studied: corporate culture, international presence (export), and level of competition in the sector

Full textThis research aims at studying the imbrication between technological and organizational innovations in high technology based SMEs. Although many studies acknowledge the alliance between technological and organizational dimensions of innovation, only a few really outline and study this phenomenon. A literature review on the relations between technology and organization emphasized the progressive transition from an exogeneous conception of technology and an adaptive conception of organization (mainly represented in the contingency approach) to studies which recognize the complementarity between technological and organizational innovations. Qualified as ± integrative α these last approaches also have weaknesses mainly due to the numerous definitions of concepts and the variety of organizations studied. Besides, they do not really tacke into account the nature of the relations between innovations. Regarding this literature, three research

Full textWhile innovation is open and based on the networking of different actors, small and medium enterprises(SME) have a rising role to play in this field. French clusters, formal (as local productive systems,competitiveness clusters etc.) and informal, have significantly contributed to the SME innovation capacity byoffering them specific knowledge and skills that they couldn’t acquire if they remained isolated. The mainbody of this thesis is constructed within this perspective and seeks to shed a new light on the inter-enterpriseinnovation linkages. More precisely, the aim is to analyze the determinants of innovation of SMEs taking intoaccount their cooperation for innovation at a local, regional or national level. Within this scope, we develop atheoretical framework based on an analysis of different approaches of innovation, enhanced with elements ofthe geography of innovation proximity. This framework is then verified on empirical data firstly, at a regionallevel by studding different SME clusters of the Center Region and then, at a national level in an econometricstudy based on the survey data of Innovation (CIS4) on innovative SMEs. To conclude, the results show thatSMEs’ capacity to innovate arises from an internal and external complex process that, given the limitedresources of SMEs, should be based on effective innovation systems at different levels. SMEs’ cooperationfor innovation both in regional clusters and in national innovation systems can thus contribute to the creationof an ecosystem that is suitable for innovation

Full textThis PhD exploratory research aims to better understand the link between the economic growth and the innovation capacity of small and medium companies (SME) of the north west of Argentina (Sánchez et al, 2011). The objective is to objectivate the impact of the newness of the products on performances thanks to a top down type research approach. In order to take innovation capacity of the companies into account, the Boly et al (2000) method is used: it allows the calculation of a potential innovation index specific to the company. This index is then compared to others descriptive variables of the growth trends of the companies (O’Regan et al, 2006). The functioning mode of each studied SME is described thanks an activity based model. These activities are linked with the evaluation of the acceptability of the company’s products on the market. Thus acceptability is used as the main criteria to assess SME’s performance (Pantano et Di Pietro, 2012). Then, data about the evolution of the environment are integrated to the approach in order to consider external variables influencing the industrial performances (Porter M. E., 2008). Methodologies developed during the research are: multicriteria methods to calculate the potential innovation index (Camargo et al, 2007). A mathematic linear regression model is developed to represent the growth evolution of each company. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis are also used. Experimental data are collected in companies in the North West of Argentina through maturity grids (Maier et al, 2012). Data about management practices and performance variables are collected simultaneously. Finally the external variables are described thanks and experts enquiry

Full text"The whale has nothing to learn from plankton", this is how one could summarize the approach of the large groups vis-a-vis startups during the 20th century... However, following the 2008 crisis, the innovation policy of large groups integrates an approach to startups. The rapid pace of business evolution is stretching typical large corporation strategies. Hence, large corporations must seek to adopt an agile approach; borrowed from the startup approach. Rather than changing their own playbook; large groups aim to embrace open innovation as a way to evolve and meet any new business context. As a matter of fact, startups and large corporations have opposed strategies: startups are looking for product-market fit and exponential growth whereas large corporations are focused on optimization and profitability development. Yet, large corporations propose more and more open innovation plans targeting startups. In this thesis, we propose an analysis of the current practices in the corporate world to assess this apparent paradox. Thus, our central research question is: How to show the adequation between the needs of a startup and an open innovation plan of a large corporation by proposing a framework for a systematic and exhaustive analysis of the relationships between large corporations and startups? • What are the startups' needs? Are they evolving as the startup becomes more mature? • How to design tools for a systematic and exhaustive understanding of the open innovation plans and the support provided? • Is there an approach to identify the adequation between startup's needs and large corporation supports? We propose a maturity-grid-based framework to analyze the expected added value of open innovation measures proposed by large corporations. We build our grid on two scales: 1) on the type of engagement and relationships between large corporations and startups; 2) on the domains that the development of a startup should consider under the lens of the new ISO standards on innovation management ISO56000 series. We implement this framework for the French ecosystem (CAC 40 companies) with French startups survey and interviews of large corporations out of CAC 40 group. Finally, we validate our approach and findings with external stakeholders to our research. We have sketched several aspects of the large companies and startups interactions. Such interactions will increase in the near future, leading to new modes of cooperation especially after COVID-19 crisis. This work could serve as a basis for their future study

Full textIn this dissertation we report on the design, prototyping, data collection and results of a research project aimed at identifying if and how trust affects the innovativeness of a partnership between two economic agents. The purpose of the research is to increase our understanding of trust and its impact on the outcome of cooperation. In particular, we have studied the effect of trust on partners’ creativity and willingness to invest financially in a joint development. The methodology combines an experiment and two questionnaires. After having analysed the existing literature on the role played by trust in partnerships, we describe the methodology adopted with the purpose of understanding how and under which conditions the conclusions obtained through an experiment can be generalized to contribute to existing theoretical models. We present the different sessions organized to collect data for the subsequent analysis and the conclusions that can be obtained. Our results show that more trustful partners invest higher amounts in the alliance, while there seems to be an optimum amount of mutual trust between partners to maximize their joint creativity and innovativeness; if the level of mutual trust is below or above this threshold, their joint innovativeness decreases. We discuss also some additional conclusions that can be derived from our data: in particular we were able to observe that conflicts, even task-oriented ones, are detrimental to joint innovation while an open and friendly working environment favours joint creativity

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to analyze in what way the use of cloud computing (CC) presented as a new form of intellectual property right (IPR), can modify the intensity and use of information and communication technology (ICT) within companies. Among the innovative results of this thesis, three ‘aspects’ will be mentioned as follows: In the first place and since the firms are looking for innovation, the adoption of cloud computing depends on the technological absorptive capacity as we have redefined it, built on the accumulation of knowledge and processes related to the management of innovations and technologies allows an easier integration of the new technologies in the plan of the company’ functioning. Secondly, the digital skills are fundamental in the decision of adoption in order to insert the cloud computing in the continuity of former technologies, to manage the perception of the complexity of this technology and the associated risks. Finally, the distribution of the cloud computing depends largely on the consumers perception of this new technology. The more the consumers trust the security of the cloud computing, the more the competition among the companies allows to the competition in prices. The perceptions of the consumers about the security of the cloud computing have an impact on the competition for both price and quality among the firms (service providers) and determine the level of the distribution. These perceptions play an important role

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is the analysis of the innovation behaviour of firms in Tunisia. The analysis focuseson the economic conditions that motivate firms to innovate, those which direct their innovation activitiesand those that make difficult their success. The thesis is organized into two parts. The first one presents apresentation of modern theories of innovation, the characteristics of the Tunisian economy and those of thesurvey on innovation in Tunisia, used in the analysis. The second part of the thesis presents the econometricand statistical results of the analysis of determinants of innovation in Tunisia. The analysis is refined on morespecific questions, particularly relevant in the context of a developing country like Tunisia and related withthe implemented policies and the strategy of international specialization chosen in this country. The analysisleads to a first picture of innovation activities in Tunisia, which leads us to wonder about the relationshipbetween export strategies and innovation activities of firms. Another international dimension of the modernstrategies of development concerns the role of the foreign direct investments in the innovation. The thesisexamines, finally, the dimensions of the Tunisian economy which are perceived by firms as weakening theirability to innovate

Full textThis thesis studies different aspects of firm dynamics both theoretically and empirically. All chapters extensively rely to large microeconomic dataset that are used to test theoretical predictions.First chapter looks at the innovation premium, that is the response to workers’ wage when their firm increases its R&D intensity and therefore becomes closer to the technological frontier. This response is evaluated using matched employers-employees data with information on the wage of 1% of all UK based workers. Second chapter focuses on the response to an export demand shock to a firm’s innovation and productivity looking at all French firms with at least one patent and using both fiscal and customs micro data. Finally, the third chapter considers the role of factor adjustment costs, especially on corporate real-estate, on firms employment dynamism following a productivity shock. This chapter uses a large sample of single-establishment French firms. Taken together, these three chapters explore different dimension of the response to firms to a demand and/or a productivity shock, either in terms of employment and wage, or in terms of innovation and size

Full textThe main objective of this thesis is to study the factors that trigger the development of eco-innovations for the case of French firms. We have addressed this question in different contexts using original data. We contribute to the empirical literature by focusing on entrepreneurial and spatial aspects. The main results show that environmental policy instruments have a different impact on the types of eco-innovations (waste treatment, renewable energy and climate change mitigation technologies) and that eco-innovations are not always profitable for firms. Hence, it is essential to adjust public policy instruments in a way to improve the profitability of eco-innovations. After carrying out a survey on French start-ups, the results of the analysis have shown that there is a diversity of profiles of eco-innovators. Indeed, firms cluster into five main profiles and exhibit different eco-innovation drivers. We have shown empirically that the different categories of eco-innovators do not have the same difficulties in accessing funds. This led us to conclude that public policies must be designed taking into account the specificity of each profile. We have also shown that the recombination of environmental and non environmental technologies and environmental political support are the main factors explaining the location of eco-innovative firms. Moreover, by applying spatial econometrics we found that there is a clear spatial dependence on their creation while the impact of knowledge spillovers is quite local

Full textThis research rests on the study of the women entry in the building sector. This sector being presented in the form of a male bastion, the entry of women, in particular on the trades of building site, does not go from oneself. In this context, what are the social, political, economical conditions that made thinkable and possible these particularly improbable women destinies in the building sector? The entry of women in a sector traditionally male can be analysed like a social construction. The objective is thus to show how that is built and starting from which realities. We direct our analysis by focusing on the social relations of sex, thinking in a dynamic vision the gender oppositions. These oppositions are also registered in contradictions and fights of social classes. The thesis is the one of the demonstration that the sexual difference, which (until) had been used before to exclude the women from the building sector, can now be used to recreate a certain hierarchy of the power economical, social, symbolic system). This hierarchy is the response to the confrontation of the interests asserted by the employers and the employees. These claims do not relate only on the working conditions and the remunerations, but as well on the "modernization" of the sector, mobility or precariousness. So the introduction of feminisation can be analysed as a political act. The made use, by the employers, of feminisation seems a policy of standardization of the behaviours of the workmen of the building sector

Full textThis thesis seeks to demonstrate that improved Environmental Performance (EP), through the implementation of eco-innovative initiatives , positively influences Financial Performance ( FP) of a company. As basic hypothesis, we chose that of Porter ( 1991), which emphasizes the benefits of implementing environmental strategies respecting the principle of sustainable development. This hypothesis is totally opposed to the neoclassical vision that considers the costs of environmental protection as additional and excessive costs that may hamper the company's economic development. To validate our research hypothesis , we chose to test econometrically , through the method of linear regression, the relationship between EP and FP choosing as EP indicators, environmental investments and expenses (IE), the percentage of certified fiber (CF) and the "Sustainable Value"Environment indexes, relative to each of the environmental resources. These indexes are calculated using the approach "Sustainable Value" destined to evaluate the corporate sustainability and who represents an application of reasoning of classical financial analysis to environmental resources. We chose to conduct this study in a static and dynamic perspectives in order to assess the effects of EP on FP in a short and a medium term, through the evaluation of both the current effect and the one and two years delayed effect of the EP in FP. The results thus released from the econometric study provided a validation of our main research hypothesis , stating that a good EP influence positively the FP and the profitability of the Company.We note that the environmental initiatives are profitable since the first year of their implementation, except that the intensity of this profit varies according to the nature of Eco-innovation (Eco-innovation product, Eco-innovation process) and according to the characteristics of each company

Full textIn this research, we defend the thesis that defense companies, by the nature of their activity, have a unique innovation process. We are mobilizing the concept of knowledge base developed by Henderson & Clark [1990] knowledge base. This database is composed of the components, i.e. the smallest units of knowledge manipulated and the architectural knowledge, i.e. the way these bricks work together. Our empirical work is based on the analysis of the technological innovation process of firms with a defense activity. The first two chapters examine the contribution of scientific knowledge to defense technological innovations. The first chapter addresses this issue from the perspective of so-called “defense” technologies, while the second chapter focuses on distinguishing defense companies from civil companies in terms of their integration of scientific knowledge into their innovation processes. These chapters highlight the importance of scientific knowledge for military innovation. The third chapter focuses on the structure of the defense industry knowledge base using indicators from the literature on technological coherence [Nesta & Saviotti, 2005, 2006]. Our results in this chapter show the importance of the exploratory nature of the defense firm knowledge base, i.e. the importance of making innovative technological connections. Finally, the last chapter questions the influence of the characteristics of the knowledge bases of firms, and more particularly defense companies, on the performance of the technological innovation process. This chapter shows the specificity of defense firms’ knowledge bases and its influence on the performance of their technological innovation process

First, in the literature review, we highlighted the link between family business / innovation / legitimacy, the question of the legitimation of the family business in an innovative sector being little addressed in the literature. We then turned to the method of grounded theory integrated into critical realism. The analysis of the Lorbeer company allowed us to study in depth the effects of social capital and familiarization in an innovative sector. By the emergence of a "grounded theory", we have developed a process of legitimation by accumulation of resources, structured around the development of family social capital and forming part of a similia actornetwork model developed by Akrich , Callon and Latour (1988)

Full textThis dissertation addresses the following question: “How to innovate in a traditional craft?” It is based on a qualitative empirical study conducted within the specific sector of French landscaping. After having introduced this sector, a conceptualization of tradition is suggested as a starting point. The question is then treated successively at four distinct levels of analysis—from the individual to the societal level—with adequate conceptual frameworks (i.e. innovation intermediation, institutional work, and tetranormalization). The overall dissertation raises several theoretical contributions, as well as managerial implications for both firms and institutions, either related to traditional craft or not. Finally, many fruitful research avenues dedicated to the relationship between innovation and tradition are identified

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to investigate the determinants of eco-innovation and the barriers that impede it, as well as to assess its impact on the environmental performance, the economic performance in terms of growth and profitability as well as the companies’ reputation. Our approach includes two parts; the first one presents the state of the art of the eco-innovation phenomenon accompanied by the presentation of the specificities of Tunisia, which is our field of research the second one, which is of empirical order, includes a survey carried out among159 Tunisian industrial companies. The data were analyzed using the following methods: principal component analysis, the discriminant analysis, and multiple regressions. Our main findings identified four important points.Firstly, the practice of eco-innovation is less widespread than that of non-ecological innovation.Secondly, the barriers to eco-innovation fall into the typology of market barriers, knowledge barriers, and cost barriers. Thirdly, there are four determinants that particularly stimulate eco-innovation, such as technology, competitive pressure, expected benefits and market instruments, while command and control regulatory instruments and ecological consumer’s demand do not contribute significantly. Fourthly, ecoinnovation has a significant impact on both environmental performance and firms’ reputation, but does not directly improve economic performance in terms of economic growth and profitability

Full textThe idea supported in the literature for a long time was that the regulatory framework had a negative impact on the activity of firms, as well as on their prosperity. Starting from the 1990s, this vision started to change progressively and was substituted by a new approach in which the conflict between economic and ecological performance should be approached differently. More concretely, political decisions and researchers' endeavours triggered this new approach according to which neither the regulatory framework nor the reduction of pollution should involve any economic activity harming. According to this context, firms should introduce environmental innovations or eco-innovations which are, as their name suggests, innovations with less environmental negative externalities. The content of this thesis sticks with this context and aims to bring in new elements to the debate, to deepen the extant analysis related to the questions of the introduction of eco-innovation at the firm level, as well as by highlighting the French context.The first chapter of this thesis presents a theoretical and conceptual literature review on eco-innovation. This review is based on a bench of contributions in the field and aims to underline the impact of eco-innovation on firm performance, as well as the different consequences related to its activity. This review suggests that the effects of the introduction of eco-innovation can be decomposed into two separate categories: the internal effects and the external effects. First, internal effects are mainly related to employment and to the ability of firms to create more jobs, also including qualitative substitution effects based on improved qualifications. Second, external effects are related to changes in relationships across firms while complying with the environmental regulation through the transformation of the supply chain. The objective of this chapter is to develop and explain these mechanisms alongside other aspects related to eco-innovation.The second chapter includes a theoretical and an empirical analysis on the determinants of eco-innovation based on French data. Literature on the question is generally quite scarce, particularly regarding France, and almost inexistent concerning eco-organisational and eco-marketing innovations.The analysis along this chapter aims to emphasise these points, in a context marked by an increasing adoption of eco-organisational and eco-marketing innovations by firms. Results reveal a great importance of firm's reputation ahead of the introduction of all types of eco-innovation (product, process, organisation, and marketing), the importance of cost savings as well as the implementation of good environmental practices for the introduction of eco-organisational innovation, and the role of existing governmental aids and the contracts with customers for the introduction of eco-marketing innovation.Finally, the third chapter deals with the question of the impact of eco-innovation on firm growth, considering two growth indicators: employment and turnover, and analysing French data. After the presentation of a literature review, the empirical analysis is developed to analyse the impact of the introduction of eco-innovation (with no distinction in types), on both growth indicators previously explained. Following the very recent literature, multiple quantile regressions are performed given the non-linearity and the heterogeneity of firms' growth. Findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between eco-innovation and turnover growth of the top decile (10%) of the sample. Meanwhile, these results are not confirmed regarding eco-innovation and employment growth. Finally, other variables, namely patenting activity, research and development, and group ownership, are found to be important for firms' growth of the sample whatever the growth indicator used

Full textMost of smes are faced with acces and adoption problems related to the integration of new technologies. In this context, new activities are emerging. These new activites provide an intermediation function between partly available technologies, and needs of potential users. The specific nature of the aford mentioned (technological informations and knowledges) induces specific organizations of supply and a significant presence of public actors. However, this thesis is not in keeping with the general pattern of the neoclassical theory according to which market failures justify the state's intervention. We argue that the nature of activities is partly a determining factor of the organization forms, provided that we take into account the different kinds of knowledges. That is why an analytical framework is proposed, based on the concepts of information/knowledge and tacit/codified. As the nature of activities is not sufficient to provide a complete explanation of the organization forms of technological intermediation activities, a "network approach" is adopted. We point out the crucial role of networks (especially those initiated by publics actors), as new organizational forms of actors and establish that these networks strengthen the position of public actors, especially for some technological intermediation activities. Consequently, the introduction of institutional characteristics enable us to explain the organization of actors and activities as far as technological intermediation is concerned. For the different kinds of technological intermediation activities, we identify the different organization forms and the various kinds of relationships between public and private actors observed in the different networks

Full textEnvironmental innovation or eco-innovation is considered one of the most significant paradigm shifts in the innovation behaviour. The specificity of eco innovation lies in the fact that environmental improvement, in addition to technological advancement, is the main reason of its development. By combining these two objectives, eco-innovation has become one of primary tools in the search to solve the world’s environmental problems and sustainability challenges. Despite its prevalence, there is still more to be discovered within the eco-innovation literature. The drivers of and barriers to eco-innovation discussion is one of the most significant amongst all. More notably, the role of a firm’s social, technological, economic and organizational characteristics within the eco-innovation process has been little studied. With this Ph.D. thesis we aim to fill the existing gap with four distinct research articles. [...] Chapter 2 investigates, firstly, whether firms’ internal characteristics have an impact on the adoption of voluntary environmental standards. Secondly, the causal effect of adoption of environmental standards on the firms performance. Based on the empirical evidence obtained, we show that medium-size, high-tech manufacturing firms operating at the EU level and using quality standards are more likely to adopt these standards earlier. [...] In Chapter 3, we stressed the significance of a firm’s structural characteristics in another context and aimed at investigating the role these characteristics play in realization of product and/or process eco-innovation. [...] In Chapter 4 we moved forward the analyses conducted in Chapter 3 to another context and examined the influence of firm’s economic, technological, organisational capabilities on the eco-innovation behaviour for different types of product, process, organisational or marketing eco-innovators. The results of our empirical analyses point out the marginal impacts of firm’s characteristics changes with respect to type of eco-innovator. [...]

Full textIn a context where both business and government consider innovation as crucial, this thesis aims at contributing to the debate on the determinants of firms' innovative behavior, and on the design of devices to be set up to support it. the four proposed contributions are primarily empirical and show the importance of considering two dimensions often ignored so far: first, organizational aspects, and the structure of internal incentives; second, firm heterogeneity, especially in terms of technological level. the first chapter shows that centralized and decentralized organizations rely on differentiated processes of information management, which make them more or less favorable to innovation depending on the firm’s age, technological level or on the magnitude of heterogeneity observed in its environment. the second chapter shows that competition arising from low cost countries is a significant determinant of reallocation in firms’ product portfolios, but that more productive firms only are able to introduce genuine product innovations. the third chapter adopts a structural approach to examine the incentives conferred by the patent system. patents affect the intensity, but also the direction of firms’ innovative efforts, since they convey incentives that are biased towards product innovation and against process innovations. the final chapter provides a joint analysis of two programs aiming at supporting the innovative effort of young businesses. we highlight their differential attractiveness within this population of firms

Full textTechnological innovation is considered as a key element in the knowledge-based economies, where the share of intangible assets continues to grow significantly. The development of innovation is enhanced mainly in the purpose of value creation and the obtaining of a competitive advantage. Nevertheless, innovating is a long process where the lag between the investments in Research and Development (R&D) activities, considered as its input, and the obtaining of a valuable output, often estimated by the patent application, is large. The long character is emphasized by the uncertainty and the riskiness of the process which are at the root of important problems of information asymmetry between investors and the insiders. This dissertation studies the impact of intangible investments on the financial performance of companies in Europe. Therefore, we use a unique database of European patents and suggest a set of qualitative measures to innovation, based on the patents’ attributes. Moreover, this thesis estimates the market value of intangibles as measured by the R&D expenses, the patent applications but also the qualitative attributes. In this framework, we construct a composite quality index of innovation in order to better estimate its private economic value. The increasing lag between financial and book values in the presence of R&D investments leads us to undertake a causal study of innovation on the financial performance of companies. We suggest our composite index as non-financial metric to predict the future earnings and examine the effect of R&D on the growth and volatility of future operating incomes

In this permanent context of evolution of the environment making of the acceleration of the development and the new product launching a major competitive stake, he/it becomes crucial to master, to encourage and to preserve the indispensable expertise for the realization of projects of R&D. Otherwise, the increasing complexity and the uncertainty increased of the environment for enterprises explain their will to put in œuvre efficient expertise and show the increasing interest that they carry to themes bound to the organization. To satisfy to requirements of the global demand, enterprises multiply strategies of cooperation. Several shapes of coordination offer to them in order to drive a common process of innovation and R&D. The arbitration between to make and to make made the object of theoretical and empiric several studies. This phenomenon awakens our attention on the different fashions of coordination and more specifically the intercompany cooperation that occupies a more and more predominant room in the life of business. The empiric survey that we led on enterprises in Morocco comes to push and to confirm some propositions and nuancers some suggestions. If Morocco is in period of transition, it explains himself in large part by the hold of conscience as good of the public power that of enterprises of the impact of the R&D and the innovation on their own flight that he is economic or social.

However, if large companies consider this model as a THE model to manage relationships with startups, almost none really knows how to implement, develop and pilot these structures, and failures are frequent. Our work echoes the difficulties large groups are facing when assembling these open innovation models. Our approach aims to better understand the actions and practices effectively implemented in large groups to encourage the adoption of this open innovation model. The originality of our approach is to consider the adoption of ICs through the prism of managerial innovations. We analyze, through a comparative case study of five ICs the similarities but also the differences between the diffusion processes of these managerial innovations in large companies in France. Our results illustrate the institutionalization process of a proto-institution i.e. ICs as emerging institutions, through an in-depth analysis of the practices implemented by those managers (and their teams) responsible for these structures

Full textThis thesis seeks to demonstrate that improved Environmental Performance (EP), through the implementation of eco-innovative initiatives , positively influences Financial Performance ( FP) of a company. As basic hypothesis, we chose that of Porter ( 1991), which emphasizes the benefits of implementing environmental strategies respecting the principle of sustainable development. This hypothesis is totally opposed to the neoclassical vision that considers the costs of environmental protection as additional and excessive costs that may hamper the company's economic development. To validate our research hypothesis , we chose to test econometrically , through the method of linear regression, the relationship between EP and FP choosing as EP indicators, environmental investments and expenses (IE), the percentage of certified fiber (CF) and the "Sustainable Value"Environment indexes, relative to each of the environmental resources.

Full textIn the current world context (globalization, competition, technological innovations,.), companies must look for new ways to offer more innovative goods and services. Therefore, they require customer’s competencies to design offerings that meet their needs. This practice which is raising a great deal of enthusiasm from the managers is called “co-creation”.An examination of the existing literature on services suggests that little has been done on the reasons why some companies are more disposed to engage in a B to B service co-creation process while others are less disposed to do so. Yet, this is an important issue. Indeed, if we can show that there are some criteria which can be used to identify potential co-creators and that facilitate the management of co-creation projects, then organizations could use this knowledge to select their partners in a co-creation process.In the light of the foregoing, our research study seeks to answer the following question: Why are some B-to-B service providers more disposed to co-create services than others?After a literature review on service co-creation, we conduct two qualitative studies with leaders and B to B customers involved in innovative service co-creation projects. The third study that is quantitative surveys a number of service providers in order to test our research hypothesis.Our empirical results allow us to identify firm-level and industry-level criteria relevant for explaining businesses’ willingness to engage in a co-creation process as well as their level of involvement in this process. From a managerial perspective, the present research also underlines the best practices to implement in service organizations before starting such a collaborative approach

Full textThe thesis deals with the assessment of SMEs innovation capacity, when they integrate innovation in their desire for growth. The objective is to understand the factors that can explain the positive link between SMEs innovation and performance. This complex relationship is based on multiple factors relating to the production and valorization of innovation. We focused our attention on innovation management SMEs innovation capacity assessmen.The aim is to understand how innovation management, through evaluation, can foster SMEs innovation performance and, consequently, SMEs performance. To address these issues, we explore, both theoretically and empirically, the factors that make up the SMEs innovation capacity to explain SMEs innovation performance. Exploration takes into account SMEs spécificities, in line with literature. We focus ont the influence of SMEs specificities on innovation capacity and its assessment.The thesis results rovide several new elements of knowledge. First, we propose a conceptual and operational definition of SMEs innovation capacity. It is built around the static and dynamic dimension of the innovation capacity. This definition improves the understanding of mechanisms facilitating the production and valorization of innovation within SMEs.The results then higlights the link between certain SMS innovation capacity dimensions and SMEs innovation performance. We participate to the debate discussing the interest of innovation management for SMEs. We show that the innovation activity can be carried out around several dimensions of innovation capacity. These dimensions of innovation capacity have a positive or negative impact,on SMEs innovation performance. The impact is directly related to the ability of SMEs to effectively manage and mobilize these dimensions of innovation capacity according to their own context. It is also linked to the SME's capacity to ensure the dynamism of its innovation capacity. The dynamism is assured regarding the evolutions of the SME itself and its environment to ensure the maintenance of SMEs innovation capacity. The management of innovation and the evaluation of the innovation capacity of SMEs are, therefore, beneficial for SMEs. They enable SMEs to optimize their innovation process and ensure their evolution. We extend the work on innovation management and innovation management in SMEs.The thesis proposes, finally, an analysis of SMEs specificities. SMEs specificities have an influence on innovation capcity and innovation performance. However, the analysis of the positive or negative effect of SMEs specificities on innovation needs to be nuanced. SMEs specificities and their influence on innovation capacity depend on the particular context of the company. The unique case mobilized illustrates this result. Therefore, the contingency approach is recommended for the analysis of innovation in SMEs

Schumpeter, the entrepreneur is the power of the economic development toward his capacity to create new products and processes of production. The entrepreneur is placed between the industrial worker and scientist. This idea is the theoretical base of this study. In the particular case of the Greek industry, the small enterprises with 50 salaries or less are the majority of the industrial firms of this country. But the important place of the small firms in the Greek industry is not the product of the entrepreneur's personality. In the situation of the economic crisis, the enterprise’s creation is the product of the necessity. The objective of a lot of Greek people is to be a public employed, not to be an entrepreneur. The creation of firms is not the product of an individual decision but the product of the economic structures

We tested the relationship between innovation and international performance, assessed the impact of innovation compared to other international advantages. Symmetrically, we also checked how far the internationalization process can be a powerful driver of innovation for service firms. After the development of a theoretical model, data were collected from a telephone survey. The target respondents of the survey were senior executives of internationalized service companies in France. Out of the 807 companies which were contacted, 51 usable responses were received. The data collected were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), using the Partial Least Square method. The tested model shows that service innovation has a positive influence on international development and that the international competence, obtained in foreign markets, drives the dynamics of innovation in services company. The model proposed highlights the capabilities for R & D (organizational), relational, ICT, international competence, service and international experience as factors that impact the final results of internationalized companies, or more specifically, the international performance

The use of organizational innovations and / or technology is now considered critical to the performance and the sustainability of the business. This research work studies the importance of innovation as a key element to success and business survival, while involving the three variables throughout our empirical research. The latter is performed through three case studies in the mobile telecommunications sector. Performing a qualitative analysis of the collected data and based on the theories, we found that innovation seems to have higher contribution to the sustainability than to the performance of the studied firms. This lag is mainly due to contextual elements as well as to the approach towards the potential contribution of innovation
