Masquefa, Bertrand Joseph. "L'implantation d'une innovation managériale en comptabilité de gestion." Nice, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005NICE0029.
This thesis intends to study the implementation of a management accounting and control system based on a “research action” within the R&D department of a multinational company. The objective is to describe, understand how management control systems are implemented and why these systems are difficult to change. This research conceptualizes the diffusion of the innovation process calling on a social network approach. This study allows to develop a set of properties to establish a conceptual framework in the implementation of administrative innovations in management accounting when change is leaded locally, controversial and transversal. The difficulty to implement management accounting and control systems would depend on the nature of the control activity performed by management accountants and their involvement within the company's operational activities

Direct involvement in organizations allow for the study and the analysis of collectiveaction. Our thesis work follows this research process and attempts to propose aprocedural lecture of the implementation and integration of innovative managementdevices. Evidently, a management device has a broad spectrum: concretizing organizedaction rules, objects and tools, while retaining an abstract not formalized dimensions.The proposed analysis is the result of iterations between theoretical concepts andempirical observations of management control applied to banks in Morocco. We explorefirst the profound changes that are reshaping the banking systems that allow exploringthe determinants of the implementation of management control within banks. The use ofnew developments in institutional theories orients our analysis into a multi-level andnon-dissociated phenomenon. In light of these theoretical and conceptual references, thein-depth empirical study of a qualitative multiple case study (three banks are observed).The discussion of the results led to the proposal of a framework describing the processby which the gradual integration of management tools by the field’s organizations led tothe institutionalization of scripts embodying, within these same organizations, widerangingmanagement devices
Baudru, Daniel. "Essai d'analyse de l'impact d'une innovation technique." Toulouse 1, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991TOU10027.
Our model tries to study the impact of technical product innovation on an industry. When a product can be partitioned into many subsystems, a hierarchy appears which gives the members of the network great stability. The higher the number of techniques among the network, the better a network resists a blow from a substitute technology. Studying the stability of a network in aeronautics and watch production, the two following conditions stood out. - activity integration into a network - and if technical innovation can't realize * a significant performance improvement * or the possibility of changing the product functions through substitute techniques
Benigno, Neves Fernando Charles. "Relation de la gestion des connaissances et la capacité d’innovation incrémentale dans trois industries traditionnelles." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016GREAG010/document.
The management of knowledge and innovation are the themes to strong importance today, especially because these two topics are linked and they influence the performance of firms. The objective of this research is to analyze the link between knowledge management and innovation from three industries of simple product in the industrial pole of Barcarena city, Pará State, Brazil. We want to evaluate both the relationship of Knowledge Management in these companies and their innovative capacity, to understand the influence of knowledge for the innovative capacity, especially incremental innovation. For this, we will use models of analysis which take into account factors such as culture, leadership, technology, human resources and process. Our methodological approach is qualitative. We choose as basic concepts and theoretical literature about the Knowledge Management and Innovation. The axis of the industry was chosen by its economic importance in the region where the research has been developed. We interviewed 24 employees at Imerys S.A., Hydro Alunorte S.A. and Alubar S.A. This research has highlighted the role of the leader in the incremental innovation, the importance of the sense of urgency for the corporate culture innovative. In addition, according to the results of the companies that better manage the knowledge have more possibiliter to innovate
Dangereux, Katia. "Contrôle de gestion et innovation produit : observation et interprétation des influences réciproques." Thesis, Montpellier, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016MONTD010/document.
Innovation and management control are both considered as determinants of business performance. Yet, these two concepts appear at first sight contradictory, and some researchers have presented them as difficult to reconcile, advocating innovative organizations to have recourse to other modes of control. The issue of the role and influence of management control in innovative context arises and motivates this doctoral work.Beyond the literature concerned with the influence of management control on innovation, we use the theoretical and conceptual frameworks bearing on managerial innovation and organizational ambidexterity in order to deal with this issue of the link between management control and product innovation. The methodology is exploratory, qualitative and adductive corresponding thus to an interpretativist epistemological positioning. It consists of a two-stage approach : an exploratory study with nineteen start-ups and SMEs innovative and two case studies of SME which are both recently entered into an innovation strategy.The results of this research show that innovation and management control are far from being antagonistic. First, management control whether interactive or cybernetic type appears as favorable to innovation, but innovation also appears to impact the management control systems, pushing companies to develop tools of control on the one hand, tools which are reshaped and adapted on the other hand. Finally, we observe that product innovation and managerial innovation support each other, but also that management control appears as contextual ambidexterity support. Moreover, this study highlights the key role of the leader as hybrid or ambidextrous actor
Lo, Amadou. "Le développement de l’ambidextrie contextuelle à l’aide d’un outil de gestion : étude de cas exploratoire du Fab Lab interne chez Renault." Thesis, Lyon 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LYO30064/document.
This thesis aims to better understand and support corporate innovation strategies to help them coping with the challenges associated with the intensification of the dynamics and changes in the economic environment. However, in order to survive these economic rhythms, previous research recommends organizations to reconcile their exploitation and their exploration activities, concomitantly. In this context, our work specifically examines an innovation strategy giving particular attention to the initiatives of individuals in exploration activities : contextual ambidexterity. Simultaneously, our research examines an object of research previously unreleased in academic studies : the corporate Fab Lab (or internal Fab Lab). At the crossroads of these two subjects, this thesis raises the question of the development of contextual ambidexterity through a corporate Fab Lab. Our case study is conducted in Renault Group, one of the first structures to develop this practice of corporate Fab Lab. Our analysis permits to define this management tool as a quasi-structure conducive to the development of contextual ambidexterity. It then presents the guidance to lead in the objective of developing contextual ambidexterity through a corporate Fab Lab
Kin, Vichara. "Innover dans les alliances : rôles des managers d'alliance dans la gestion de l'ambidextrie." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016AIXM2006/document.
Alliances have to deal with the dynamic of exploration and exploitation to innovate, which conducts to the ambidexterity concept. Managing ambidexterity is potentially led by the alliance managers who are boundary-spanners in alliances. However, there is a lack of knowledge concerning their roles. The research seeks to identify the roles of alliance managers as boundary-spanners in managing ambidexterity in alliances
Chabrillat, Jacques. "L'innovation en matière d'outils de gestion dans les organisations culturelles du spectacle vivant : bissociation et créativité en situation extrême de gestion." Thesis, Université Clermont Auvergne (2017-2020), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018CLFAD001/document.
Cultural firms have developed at all times management practices that are apart from standard management (Chiapello, Benghozi). Our research focuses on managerial innovation in the management tools of these unique firms. In a context of disruption (LOLF 2006), an extreme management situation (Lievre), some cultural organizations have been able to cope by innovating: what management tools did they invent and how did they develop them? Our theoretical framework articulates four approaches: the socio-material assemblages that are constructed during the morphogenesis of management tools (Orlikowski); the structural dimensions of these tools (Hatchuel, Weil); their trajectories of appropriation (Grimand); the creativity in play (Amabile) in the emergence of managerial innovation. Our epistemological posture is constructivist. We observe these managerial innovations through the cases of four performing arts firms that we followed and accompanied for three years in an involved expert position. Relying on a comparative analysis of the four cases, we thus highlight: the efficiency of the concept of bisociation (Koestler) to account for key moments in the morphogenesis of managerial innovations; the role of the managers’ value system in the trajectory of constitution of the tools; the effect of the creative characteristics of cultural managers in the development of their indigenous management
Tohme, Walid. "Gestion d'une innovation dans le secteur de l'imagerie médicale : les réseaux PACS." Paris 9, 1993. https://portail.bu.dauphine.fr/fileviewer/index.php?doc=1993PA090024.
The medical imaging field is called upon today to respond on the one hand to the rising needs of conventional radiology and on the other hand to perceive the medical field advances from an efficiency standpoint. Technological progress led to the development of PACS (picture archiving and communications systems) medical imaging networks. This research work investigates three fundamental question : do PACS networks contribute to the improvement of management and decision-making tools in the medical imaging field? The first historical approach traces the emergence of PACS networks in the evolutionary process of the medical imaging field along with the analysis of the supply's answer to the demand and the competitive environment. A second economical approach establishes on the one hand a cost element through a comparative analysis of five economic studies of PACS networks and, on the other hand, a set of efficiency indicators both technical and clinical, weighted and quantified, obtained as a result of our inquiry and that represent necessary tools to the economic justification of PACS. The third organizational perspective investigates the conditions and repercussions of the installation and management of these networks. The key players involved in this innovation are identified and the necessary compromises for the establishment of PACS are analyzed
Bollinger, Sophie. "Conjuguer contrôle de gestion et créativité, une question de pratiques et de contextes organisationnels." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019STRAB009.
Innovation processes are uncertain: they can be source of tension, as they gather a significant part of a company's risk. Literature does not reach consensus, recommending how to manage innovation via controlling tools. For some authors, it is mandatory to use tools to manage the innovation process whereas others claim: controlling tools are an innovation killer. In this work, we study the interdependencies between management control and creativity and the question of the roles of the organizational context. If controlling tools are not totally suitable, they are widely used and praised by companies to manage their innovation processes. These processes can be compared to an iceberg where controlling tools depict the emerging part. We conducted a quantitative and a qualitative studies in innovative companies and in the social and solidarity economy. The comparison of these two contexts leads us to highlight the essential role of the organization which can generate creativity, the acceptance of an imbalance between the elements in tension which can be a source of questioning and a support to the innovation as well as the role of local managers as mediator between the organization and the field actors
Tremblay, Nathalie. "Living labs as innovation intermediaries : symphonic orchestration of innovation dynamics in open innovation ecosystems." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Strasbourg, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023STRAB012.
The dissertation defines the dynamics of innovation through the lens of living labs, theorising on how these intermediaries, can effectively orchestrate innovation ecosystems through open innovation initiatives. The study offers numerous theoretical contributions on innovation for managerial practice and public policies, identifying key mechanisms and best governance practices, ensuring that sociotechnological and ecosystem perspectives are included in innovation strategies that create shared value outcomes. The thesis provides an opportunity to consider the role played by communities within the innovation ecosystem through the theory of the Commons (Ostrom, 1990), in an evolutionary perspective
Larif, Oueslati Sihem. "Systèmes d'information intégrés et fonctions - supports : Cas du contrôle de gestion." Paris 9, 2007. https://portail.bu.dauphine.fr/fileviewer/index.php?doc=2007PA090043.
The objective of this thesis is to analyze the impact of the implementation of integrated information system on tasks, jobs and on the power of the management control function, and to explain the origins of these changes. A review of the literature on integrated information systems and on the management control function is presented. The analysis of integration demonstrates that this concept is difficult to define. Hence, we had to develop a grid of the different types of integrated information systems based on the theory and on our discussions with consulting firms that specialize in information systems. Changes in the management control function are analyzed through three case studies and a questionnaire addressed to seventy two counterparties within thirty Tunisian companies. The implementation of integrated information systems seems to introduce changes that depend on the implemented system. The results demonstrate that integrated systems do not, on their own, determine the changes in the management control function. Other variables have to be taken into account

Debbi, Ali. "Les enjeux de l'émergence des innovations managériales dans les villes : le cas de l'adoption des indicateurs de performance." Pau, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PAUU2005.
The public performance evaluation raises various conceptual and methodological questions. Indeed, we observe advances in the evaluation processes of public policies, whereas in practice, the emergence of performance indicators and measurement systems reveals implementation difficulties. Our work describes "the difficult emergence", and highlights the constraints of the adoption of these indicators in cities. From a systemic point of view, and being based on a survey carried out into the practices of French cities, our results show the hierarchy of difficulties which prevent the development of performance indicators. The constraints related to personal and cultural factors are strongly present. We thus show, from the institutional point of view, that a weak support and incentive of the partners and citizens incite condition cities not to develop the IP. Lastly, we show the negative effect of the specificities of local public action's complexity on the emergence of these managerial innovations

"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

The integration of a sustainable development gait (SD) in the organizations implies, beyond the incentives, structured and structuring methods. These methods that we could name tools of implementation of SD are oriented toward a common objective: the global performance. Today very few methods are proposed to the societies of engineering in order to reach this global performance. It is probably due to the typological specificities of this type of organization. In point of fact, these engineering enterprises are quite atypical because they are shared between two universes which are the client (for instance pharmaceutical industry) and a significant number of complex subcontractors (SC). In this context, we approach our topic of research: the enterprise must prove that it is “economically viable, socially responsible and environmental healthy” (Quairel-Lanoizelee 2004), even beyond its own frontiers. But the answer to society’s expectations is also an element of the enterprise’s economic strategy. That is why, our idea is to suggest methodologies that are applicable to the engineering profession, and therefore could be adapted to all types of engineering enterprises, so that it can integrate a voluntary gait for SD by The Social Responsibility (SR). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is developing an international standard in order to provide guidelines for adopting and disseminating social responsibility: ISO 26000, which was published in 2010. In our research we have considered that the SR will play a double role, as reformer of the classical practices of project management as well as a tool that could bring SD strategy inside and outside the engineering organization. The general idea is to conceive a new approach of the enterprise’s management philosophy, disinterested from the unique profit notion. This brings us to think about another dimension of the enterprise’s performance. This project lead us to asking the following question: is it possible to manage an engineering project by including the SR approach in classical methodology of project management?By a methodology of action-research and specifically intervention-research (I-R), we are going to build our investigation about an international engineering company, which has as pharmaceutical engineering activity. The objective is to analyze, and to understand the specificities of engineering enterprise’s model in order to known if it is possible to change this model by developing a new project management approach based on the SR and strategy innovation. The innovating methodology that we developed must allow us to integrate a gait of SR within the best practice of engineering project. In conclusion, the integration tool of a gait of SR which is today on the stage of prototype, built on ISO 26000 norms and on the experimental norm Afnor X30-029 basis, allowed us to develop the pharmaceutical engineering’s profession, by moving from the standard engineering best practice to the social responsible engineering best practice, for a sustainable development goal

This work deals with the integration of a risk management procedure in design projects, which have a very significant failure rate. We propose to provide to enterprise and project managers a model for assistance to the decision-making in innovative design. The methodology is composed of three principal phases: the study at the strategic level (which must make it possible to identify strengths and weaknesses of the company), the study on the project level (relating to the project, once the scenario of innovating design adopted), and the study at the product level, relating to the phase of design itself. In each phase, a preliminary analysis of the risks is made in order to validate or not the choices carried out, which makes it possible to guide the decision makers in their decision-makings
Boutueil, Virginie. "Towards a sustainable mobility system : leveraging corporate car fleets to foster innovation." Thesis, Paris Est, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PESC1203/document.
The mobility system in France faces increasing sustainability challenges. In response, French public authorities have endeavoured to foster innovation in the mobility system, with a particular focus on the automotive subsystem, where the challenges are most acute. Corporations have a special position in the mobility system: their decisions influence mobility behaviours well beyond corporate mobility patterns alone. Every year in France, 4 out of 10 new light-duty vehicles (including passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) are sold to corporations. Yet, corporate mobility in general, and corporate car fleets in particular, are still blind spots in the collective understanding of the mobility system. The main contribution of our work is to demonstrate that, given their effects on the larger mobility system, and given their sensitivity to public policies, corporate car fleets are a relevant object for research and a relevant matter for public policy discussion. Our research is a multi-method investigation, collecting information from a wide range of sources, including professional journals and legal archives, and cross-checking quantitative results on the composition and use patterns of corporate car fleets from large mobility surveys in France against qualitative insights gained from an exploratory survey of fleet managers in the Paris region. We develop a set of definitions and analytical frameworks for investigating corporate car fleets, including a typology of vehicles based on the various levels of ‘rights' granted to the employee over the vehicle. We show that corporate car fleets could account for 15% of the total light-duty vehicle fleet in France, 25% of its total mileage and 25% to 30% of its CO2 emissions. We also reveal the instrumental role that corporate car fleets can play in setting new trends for France's global vehicle stock. We highlight that the daily patterns of use of corporate vehicles are highly diverse, and partly compatible with electric vehicles. Finally, we show that tax policies have significant effects on the dynamics of the spread of innovations in corporate car fleets. We discuss the implications of these results for policy-making and stress the need for further integration between industrial policies, transport policies, and tax policies. We further emphasise the need for greater coordination between the various levels of government, and for adequate phasing of public policies. At present, more transparency is needed about how long current ‘initiating' policies (e.g. purchase bonus) will last, and how strong the ‘supporting' policies (e.g. low-emission zones) will be in the medium- to long-term

Bianchini, Stefano. "Three essays on firm growth, innovation, and persistent performance." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015STRAB011/document.
The 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
Tanguy, Corinne. "Apprentissage et innovation dans la firme : la question de la modification des routines organisationnelles." Rennes 1, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996REN11009.
In evolutionary's theory, the firm appropriation of technology needs the aquisition of specific and tacit knowledge which is developped during learning process. Furthermore, knowledge is embedded in routines which constitute firm's organizational memory and guide the development of firm's activities and particularly innovation. In this way, changes and improvements of products and processes in firms depend on routines replacement, i. E. On organizational learning process. At the opposite of evolutionary's theory, we consider that the renewal of routines is realised progressively during firm's activities instead of being a previous adaptation for a new technological learning path. The techno - organizational learning concept provides a theoretical background to explain the concomitant construction of technological capabilities and organizational competences into the firm. So, the routines' modification during the unlearning - learning process constitutes a potential source of innovation. This innovation (the problem - solving) can be organizational if it concerns the organizational's component of technology (management's practices, work's organization) ; but it can be technical if it leads to a change of the product conception or to an improvement of process
Metailler, Thibaut. "Une approche critique, en gestion des connaissances, du soutien à l'innovation par les compétences dans les pôles de compétitivité : le cas des PME en optique photonique du pôle Optitec." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015AIXM2003.
The purpose of this doctoral research is to analyse the notion of innovation support through skills from clusters in regard to high-technology SMEs. More specifically, it intends to undertake a critical review of Competency Management implementation - as recommended by public institutions, in favour of Knowledge Management implementation. Therefore, we exploit the conceptual field of KM in SMEs and demonstrate the embedding of KM processes within SMEs’ business activity and organisation. Although the conceptual link between business activity and organisation has been already covered in the literature, we are here focusing on its operationalisation in high-tech SMEs to support innovation. Within the context of our CIFRE grant, we have applied a PAR Methodology (Participatory Action Research) allowing to study the OPTITEC cluster. The interest of this methodology lies in the ability to integrate key actors and implementing partners into the research activity. Thus, we frame the theoretical concept of KM in high-tech SMEs and imply a repositioning of the competitiveness cluster on the basis of this knowledge creation. Two levels of results are provided. The first consists of identifying the operationalization of KM supporting innovation within high-technology SMEs. The second one challenges the cluster’s role as a ‘third party’ in supporting innovation within high-tech SMEs
Xu, Jing. "Dynamic knowledge management modeling for the innovation in engineering design." Strasbourg, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010STRA6198.
The knowledge and innovation are considered as the essential sources of the competitive advantage of companies. Thus, the strategy based on knowledge and innovation is crucial for sustaining their competitive advantage. The objective of this study is to propose an approach of Knowledge Management (KM) for innovation in design and build a computer system on the approach in order to help the designers to innovate more efficiently. For obtaining our objective, we model the mechanism of KM for innovation with a systemic knowledge model of content and context, a meta-model and a macro process of KM. We build a networking process of innovation and a state transition model of design integrating the KM activities. In order to operationalize the approach of KM for innovation, a hierarchical model is constructed by integrating the metamodel and macro process of KM with the processes of innovation and design. For demonstrating the functionalities and applicability of the proposed approach, a software prototype based on the approach is developed and applied in an industrial case study
Lelebina, Olga. "La gestion des experts en entreprise : dynamique des collectifs de professionnels et offre de parcours." Thesis, Paris, ENMP, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014ENMP0027/document.
In a business world characterized by increasing complexity of technologies associated with the globalization of markets, technical knowledge and innovation become crucial assets and primary condition for developing competitive advantage. These issues are often associated with a particular figure within organizations: that of the expert. Indeed, these people are usually considered as a source of technological excellence and innovative solutions. It becomes thus crucial, in order to retain these key people, to value their expertise and to propose adequate conditions for the development of their knowledge and their innovation potential. As a response to this challenge, the dual ladder model was developed and has been soon recognized as a primary solution for the management of experts in the technological and industrial companies. This model proposes an alternative career path (technical ladder) to that of traditional managerial path. However, this solution, while a reference model in the management of experts, has not often brought satisfaction neither for those in charge of its implementation, nor for targeted individuals. Inspired by this paradox of the dual ladder model and building on the results of a longitudinal intervention-research, this thesis proposes a new problematization of the issue of expert’ management in organisations. We argue that not only the recognition policies for current experts should be taken into consideration, but also the issues of anticipation of future needs in expertise as well as the creation of new expertise areas. This thesis thus proposes an analytical framework that incorporates three lines of action: recognition policies for experts, strategic renewal of expertise and creation of new expertise domains. Each line is supported by the associated management tool, which was tested and validated in our fieldwork
Chapotot, Emilie. "Proposition d'une approche Usage Lifecycle Management (ULM) pour capitaliser les usages et favoriser la génération de concepts innovants de produits et services." Thesis, Bordeaux 1, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009BOR13887/document.
The current economical context implies news needs for companies. Market spread and competitor’s multiplication imply new objectives for companies which must adapt their functioning process and organization to succeed. Efforts focus on minimizing the distance between designers and customers. This distance often originates misunderstandings and deviations related to the initial customer’s demands. The customer is now placed at the core of the design process in order to better integrate his expectations and satisfy his needs. These new practices democratize themselves thanks to the web evolution towards web 2.0, which facilitates communication and triggered the apparition of social networks. Current information management system implement in companies have limitations. Product-Life Management (PLM) systems manage product-related information over its lifetime. They only slightly encompass the user/product interactions, hence missing strategic information for improving products design and innovations. We consider the interactions between a user and a product within a given context and identify the constraints linked to the use of the product. We oriented our research toward this usage information in order to detect the customer’s needs and better initiate product-related innovations. We widen the notion of user to include employees, retailers and suppliers who punctually interact with the product in its lifecycle. To address this issue, we suggest an approach named ULM (Usage Lifecycle Management). This approach involves a new dynamic for managing usage for several product, users and environments. Our work is axed on the usages capitalization phase through downstream lifecycle processes, use/commercialization, maintenance and recycling. We hence concretize our ULM approach trough an outsourced web platform placed as a center point for users. This tool, named C³ for Conception Consumption Communication, is articulated around the user/product/context triangle to capitalize and formalize product usage information. Only through joint reflexion over usages and concepts will it be to reach innovative products able to make a difference in an ultra-competitive market

This 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

The global subject of the thesis is in line with the continuous improvement method withinindustrial company. Our target is to analyse what would be the answer coming from thepurchasing organization to interface with New Project Development (NPD). Basically, toinsure their future industrial company must integrate their supplier base in NPD phases.Our study is based around six main axes : the context and the target of NPD, NPD globalorganization, human resources (project buyer tasks and competences), the relationshipbetween purchasing and suppliers inside Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) processesincluding a special focus on innovation and responsible approach, purchasing process tomanage NPD and finally future evolution (continuous improvement). Those axes are includedin four parts. The first part describes current issues in industrial industry in terms of quality,production capacity, permanent structure evolution, customer expectation and their impacton the purchasing organization. The second part shows the bibliographical research aboutthe state of the art and makes a deeper analysis of the first part topics. The third partpresents the research method chosen (DELPHI), how the questionnaire has been createdand the data collection and analysis processes (date code). Finally, the fourth part is fullydedicated to the 14 expert interview analysis. We introduce 13 recommendations to improvethe purchasing performance within the NPD. In order to implement those recommendationswe suggest to follow rules describe in a special guide. This guide is made to present a biggroup « best practice », also to give some guideline to the tier 2 suppliers in order to changetheir own organization and to better understand how their customers work in NPD. At theend, our thesis intends to enlarge the purchasing view within industry above the basic visionon company productivity support

Agroecology requires the design of farming system integrating as much as possible ecosystem services. Biological control by natural enemies may substitute commonly used pesticides. Ecology findings demonstrate that farming landscapes with a high proportion of natural habitats (woods, forests meadows, etc) favor natural enemies by providing them shelter, nesting sites and food. Landscape Pest Control (LPC), i.e. the design of farming landscapes in favor of these habitats, may be implemented to foster natural enemies and biological pest control. However, how stakeholders may design such landscapes remains unexplored. In this PhD, we followed an action-research approach and explored the design of such pest regulating landscapes together with local and scientific stakeholders. We initiated a participatory approach with agricultural stakeholders in a part of the Tarn-et-Garonne region specialized in fruit production. Our research seeks to identify the factors in favor of a LPC according to stakeholders’ representations and knowledge. In particular, we qualified the conditions under which natural enemies and the landscape are socially constructed resources providing ecosystem services. We also seek to identify if these stakeholders were linked through dependencies which may necessitate a coordinated management of the landscape. We explored the possibility of a LPC through several cycle of participatory modelling. This PhD successively established mental models of local stakeholders about their pest control strategies, co-constructed participatory Bayesian models in order to explore uncertainties surrounding LPC, and finally we co-constructed an agent-based model about the population dynamic of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii and its potential landscape management. Our results show that, according to scientific and local stakeholder’s actual representations, the composition of the landscape in natural habitats is weakly related with pest regulation ecosystem services, even though the landscape is related with higher functional biodiversity. Nowadays, as stakeholders see little benefit, they don’t consider to be dependent to benefit from an enhanced biological control through a LPC strategy. Farmers rather mention their preference towards individual solutions such as pesticides or exclusion nets surrounding their orchards. This individual focus suggests that designing innovation favorable to natural enemies might be more relevant within farms, like focusing on the vegetation between rows of fruit trees. Besides, these results show the need for scientific studies relating economics and ecology to explicitly measure the benefits farmers could obtain from a landscape favorable to natural enemies. Positive results of such study would enhance further participatory research around LPC strategies. Finally, this participatory and exploratory research identified new sites for investigation and raised questions about the LPC which could be further looked into

Informal knowledge exchanges between innovation actors are common. The aim of this research is to highlight, first, the factors that determine the commitment of an individual in an informal knowledge exchange with a third party outside his company and, second, to what extent the knowledge gained by informal route is likely to positively impact the performance of innovation projects. To do this, a methodological approach in two stages was used. An exploratory study was first conducted with 10 leaders of innovation, which complementarily to the analysis of the literature allowed us to build our causal model. This model has subsequently been validated by a sample of 360 innovation actors. Besides confirming the quality of the model, it follows from this study three major lessons. First, it is the personal factors that influence the most the decision of an individual to share knowledge through informal channels; secondly, the knowledge acquired by informal channels positively influences the performance of innovation projects; and, finally, the innovation intermediaries positively influence the relationship between the different types of exchange and the performance of innovation projects. These results provide major contributions of an academic and managerial point of view, and have opened up vistas for research in an open innovation context

This dissertation is dealing with different topics such as ecosystem, absorptive capacity and radical innovation. From our systematic literature review of ecosystems based on a selection of 104 articles and books, we identify the invariants across the four diverging streams from the ecosystem approach and the seven diverging streams from the territorial approach toward the proposition of a new research framework. Our contribution aims at enriching the field of ecosystem with the strong theoretical background of the territorial approach. From our study of a joint venture in the Iranian context, our findings indicate that radical innovation is characterized by safety, quality, and planning challenges which engender delays, non-conformity to specifications, and additional costs. Our contribution aims at further developing the concept of “learning dyad” by characterizing a two-way learning between two organizations playing both roles of teachers and students. From our study of technological spin-offs in Grenoble context, our findings show the importance of spin-offs developing both potential and realized absorptive capacities to internalize customer knowledge and technology emergence awareness and to simultaneously offset customers’ lack of technical knowledge in formulating their needs. Our contribution aims at providing new insights to the area of customer involvement in the radical innovation process by examining how the level of customer involvement at different stages has improved or hindered the process of developing radical innovations

This thesis analyzes the determinants and the implications of innovation while highlighting the complementarity between technological and organizational competencies and their accumulation in time. Our econometric study is based on the data of three waves of French CIS (1998-2006). Firstly, our results suggest that the innovation is determined by the company’s internal and external characteristics. Moreover, the complementarity tests showed that in order to profit fully from the positive effect of the partnership and the R & D efforts on innovation, those must be accompanied by an organizational architecture supporting the knowledge creation and distribution. Secondly, our results show that especially process, organizational and marketing innovations have positive significant effects on the French companies’ productivity. Besides, product and process innovations promote more productivity if they are accompanied by organizational and marketing innovations and vice versa. Thirdly, we underlined a strong persistence of the innovation’s inputs and outputs which calls specific incentives to the no innovating companies. Our results suggest also that to accelerate the installation of their innovations, the firms are invited to interiorize their R & D activities rather than to outsource them. Finally, we proved that the innovating projects require time to generate productivity gains. This shift of output must be taken into account while preparing the financing plans

This thesis adheres to the hypothesis according to which competences are at the heart of the innovation process in a resource creation perspective. The theoretical analysis of the innovation seeks to provide, in the diversity of literature on the technical change and theories of the firm, the effects at the sector level and the effects at the firm level. According to competence-based approach of the firm, the empirical analysis of the innovation emphasizes the characteristics of the firm, its profile and its sector. We sum up the results of this analysis into three ideas. First of all, it is important to try to understand the characteristics of core competences implemented in an innovation process. We show that specific competences in the innovative firms are as much technological as organizational and that the tacit and codified part varies according to the type of competence. Secondly, the firm's core competence varies, depending on whether the activities of innovation are technological or non-technological. If the absorptive capacity of external technologies and the organizational competences are the core competences in technological innovation process, the engagement in the non-technological innovation depends mainly on organizational competences. The role of competence-market, appropriability of innovation and cooperation varies with the type of innovation. Finally, we broaden the analysis by identifying the firms'activities typology according to internal and external opportunites and we show that the activities of innovation of the firm may be based on the internal organization, research or market. This arise the question of corporate coherence. In a nutshell, it follows that the propensity of the firm to innovate depends on the coherence of its core competences, activities and its relations with external actors. The interactions between firm, market and cooperation are crucial in our analysis

This research focuses on the development process of the young technology-based firm (YTBF). It aims to understand the key actions that facilitate the transition from invention to innovation and to determine if ambidexterity (i.e., the balance between exploration and exploitation) is associated with greater performance. To begin with, we establish the definitions of the young technology-based firm, innovation, exploration, exploitation and ambidexterity which are used in this research. A first empirical study, based on group concept mapping, identifies three actions that are particularly important and feasible for moving from prototyping to commercialization: listening to team members; communicate about the product by highlighting the features that will please the customer; understand what market needs the product will fill. Anticipating the financing of growth from the inception of the company is identified as particularly important but difficult to achieve. A second empirical study focuses on ambidexterity. We use literature to determine the key variables necessary for the conceptual modeling of ambidexterity: ambidexterity is potentially influenced by a set of organizational and contextual variables (composition of the entrepreneurial team, features of the economic and institutional environment, financial resources); ambidexterity is likely to influence performance; performance may depend directly on some antecedents of ambidexterity. These hypotheses are tested. We use 94 answers obtained from a questionnaire sent to 350 JET. The results are as follows: (i) cohesion and to a lesser extent the complementarity of the entrepreneurial team, the dynamism of the environment and the quality of the technological business incubators are the main antecedents of ambidexterity; (ii) ambidexterity is positively associated with economic performance and (iii) financial resources have no impact on ambidexterity
Omri, Waleed. "Three essays on individual innovation behavior in SMEs : managerial characteristics corporate governance, and corporate performance." Limoges, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013LIMO1010.
Individual innovative behavior is being increasingly accepted as an important means and a valuable additional factor to achieve high performance and competitiveness. Consequently, both academics and practitioners are increasingly interested in identifying factors that foster innovative behavior in the workplace. Various types of factors were identified as vital determinants of individual innovative behavior. Despite the number of studies conducted so far, researchers have shown much less interest in other antecedents such as personality traits, religious beliefs, and mental abilities. Less attention has also been paid to the consequences of innovative work behavior. Scholars have therefore encouraged more holistic research models that consider innovative behavior as the dependent and independent variable. With this in view, it would be crucial to study in details the antecedents and consequences of individual innovative behavior in a context of SMEs. The evaluation describes in the present dissertation aimed to fill some of the gaps in knowledge by theoretically and empirically investigating, through a combination of individual and organizational variables, the antecedents of innovative behavior and then in the next step, the effect of this engagement on corporate performance
Lefebvre, Hervé. "La domotique : le rôle des réseaux dans un processus d'innovation interactive." Grenoble 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997GRE21015.
The 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

This thesis addresses the issue of contemporary rationalizations of Professional Service Firms (PSF). The study of this phenomenon rests upon a three-year collaborative research in an consulting firm to works councils which functions democratically (Cabinet X). In a context of deep transformation of its activity, the Cabinet X is confronted to a crisis whom origin lies in the limits of consultants’ traditional autonomy – i. E. “intellectual craftship”. The first part build up analytical frameworks from a literature review in the sociology of professions and economy and management of professional services. This part aims to show that, if the “intellectual craftship” crisis is not a new phenomenon per se, the ways of rationalizing do not draw a “one best ways” or fully-fledged approaches. This justifies the re-opening of the issue of finding ways to overcome the limits of intellectual craftship. In a second part, the problematics is treated from the case-study of the Cabinet X. Resting on an historical perspective and the collaborative research, a diagnosis is made and a way of rationalizing is designed : it requires the coordinated management of consultants’ carreers, knowledge and strategy. It represents a management framework and implementation elements are then given in this part. In a third part, a rise in generality allows to describe the evolution of Cabinet X as the coupled rationalization of both the “operations” organizing, what is called a “regime of activity”, and the ESP governance, what is called a “regime of collegiality”. This part also provide a specific focus on the management of democratic firms and explores the heuristic value of the theoretical frameworks which have been developed previously

In the knowledge economy, academic and research institutions are more and more oftenly solicited to stimulate the valorisation of the research results. In this point of view, one of their missions is based upon the creation of new technology based firms (NTBFs). Nevertheless, the esperience shows that to transform a researcher into an entrepreneur, a public good into a private good, and an idea into a competitive organization, all this requires a specific support structure combining idiosyncratic resources dedicated to the accompaniment and to the assistance of this entrepreneurship considered as cognitive. In this perspective, in 1999 were created in France the Public Business Incubators wich are organised into selective and learning poles. Their characteristic as organisational innovation resides in their capacity to become places of interaction for diversified formal and tacit knowledge, stemming from experience or institutional, industrial and financial networks, mobilized to bring expertise and advice adapted to the complexity created by each "accompanied" project. By reducing the squandering of the research due to an adapted orientation of the NTBFs into regard to the market, these intermediation systems constitute a fertile ground bringing the multiplication of innovating projects and better chance to succeed for the full benefit of the economy and society
Jemaa, Adel. "Processus d’absorption, Innovation & Productivité : Analyse empirique sur données d’entreprises." Caen, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014CAEN0504.
The thesis deals with the conceptualization and assessment of the ability of firms to absorb external knowledge. It also discusses the impact of this capability on innovation and productivity. The first contribution of this thesis consists in modeling the absorption capacity as an integrated process in the innovation of the company processes. This process of absorption is defined and modeled in an original way through a network of interactions between different activities or capacities: the capacity for internal absorption, the access to external knowledge and the ability to cooperate capacity. The second contribution is to analytically treat the issue by integrating the absorption capacity and the cognitive distance through an innovation function simultaneously. This model allows to distinguish between a theoretical absorption capacity and an effective absorption capacity that takes into account the cognitive distance. The third contribution initially consists, on one hand, in measuring the intensity of these different capabilities and, on the other hand, in estimating the causal relationships between them. That is to say, the ability to determine the internal absorption ability to access external knowledge, which in turn, would determine the ability to cooperate. Secondly, the thesis focuses on the influence of the intensity of cooperation on business performance (output of innovation, labor productivity, TFP). Finally, the thesis discusses the impact of the performance of the company on its internal capacity for absorption
