Abstract:
This paper analyses the determinants of different organisational techniques dedicated to creativity by stressing the crucial role played by the dynamic innovative capacities of firms in this process. In particular, we show that the impact of creativity methods varies with the type of innovator (product versus process; single versus complex). We use a bivariate probit estimation on a sample of 4,570 manufacturing firms drawn from the 2010 French Community Innovation Surveys (CIS 2010) to study how the innovation profiles of firms impact the propensity to use organisational creativity methods. The estimation results show a strong but differentiated impact of the innovation profiles of firms (products/process, single/complex) on the use of different creativity methods. These empirical results display the accuracy of modern research on the determinants of intra-firm organisation of creativity.

Abstract:
Innovation represents the search for the new that allows organisations to increase their competitiveness and face market competition. Although they have fewer resources and smaller capacities, small businesses have a number of advantages that enable the innovation process. Therefore, it is necessary to gain a greater understanding on the stage of innovation in small firms and on how the aspects of management influence their development and are useful for such organisations. In this sense, the present paper analyses the determinants of organisational management that influence the degree of innovation of small firms in the gastronomic segment. The sample of the study counted on data compilation of 67 small gastronomic firms of a northeastern state capital in Brazil collected during almost two years. The determinants of innovation were identified through the theoretical framework composed of leadership; strategies; customers; society; information and knowledge; people; processes and results. The degree of innovation was measured from the degree of sectorial innovation achieved by the innovation radar. The proposed relationships were analysed by means of multiple regression with panel data, in which the degree of innovation was the dependent variable of the model and the determinants of innovation were the independent variables. The results demonstrate that the degree of innovation is influenced mainly by the internal processes that the company develops and by the results that it achieves. On the contrary, it was verified that the regulatory aspects that the firms attend can inhibit the development of innovation. The results reinforce the importance of organisational management for the development of innovation in small business, presenting the facilities and the obstacles.

Abstract:
The potential for monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) to enhance innovation and impact in agricultural research and development is receiving increasing attention. New Zealand’s AgResearch Limited and Australia’s CSIRO Agriculture and Food are working with their scientists to support the organisations to achieve greater innovation and impact by embedding MEL into research programs and projects. However, both organisations have found it challenging to systematically demonstrate the value of their MEL initiatives. While there is an increasing number of case studies and anecdotes pointing towards the contribution of MEL to fostering innovation that delivers social, economic and environmental impacts, there is limited evidence, collated through systematic and rigorous methods, to substantiate this. This article presents an evaluation framework drawing on insights from complexity science (the Cynefin framework), evaluation practice and research (complexity-aware M&E and reflective practice) and innovation capacities (learning, reflection and adaptation). The framework is intended for research organisations working in agricultural innovation systems to be able to demonstrate the value of their MEL initiatives as well as carry out comparative analyses. It also supports organisational learning to better inform evaluative strategies and actions.

Abstract:
The role of businesses in sustainable development gained increasingly more importance, together with the increasing speed of technological advancements, in addition to the economic effects of climate change, pandemics, disasters, and wars. The capabilities of businesses allowing them to adapt to environmental conditions to use their resources and turn them into productive outputs efficiently are considered critical factors in achieving sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of businesses’ marketing, process, organisational, and product innovation capabilities on corporate sustainability. The data used in the present study, which has an explanatory research design, were collected from managers of 452 SMEs in an emerging economy (Turkey) using the non-random quota sampling method. During the data collection, a survey was carried out on the manufacturing firms operating in Kocaeli, Sakarya, Düzce, Yalova, and Bolu provinces in a region called TR42 in the Eastern Marmara region, which is an important industrial region in Turkey. During the data analysis, SPSS was used to obtain the descriptive statistics, and AMOS to obtain the inferential statistics. Within this context, covariance-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was utilised to test organisational sustainability’s causal relationships with variables constituting the innovation capabilities. The results achieved here suggest that marketing, process, corporate, and product innovation capabilities have an effect that increases organisational sustainability. Furthermore, the results indicate that marketing innovation capability had a higher impact on organisational sustainability than other capacities constituting the innovation capability. The present study offers important interpretations and conclusions for businesses which operate in an emerging economy at the level of SME to improve their sustainability objectives in terms of resource, capability, and environmental adaptation.

Abstract:
Social innovation has gained an important position in policy agendas at the international, national, and local levels. The article investigates two empirical cases of local social entrepreneurship initiatives in two comparable small towns located in Norway and in Sweden. These projects endeavour for social integration of young persons into education programmes and adult persons into work. Through these empirical cases, this article aims to conceive how place conditions the capacities and practices of social entrepreneurship. The place-based approach of the discussion shows how the interplay of local and multiscalar relations impacts social entrepreneurship initiatives. The analysis of the empirical cases involves considering the role of the local context as well as the institutional systems of the welfare states and wider policy regimes endorsing social investment strategies. The discussion employs a model for organisational arrangements focusing on capacities of learning, exploiting, and linking. The capacity of linking across organisations and sector boundaries is found to be a particularly intriguing aspect of the investigated social entrepreneurship initiatives and is something that the place-based approach of the article is able to explicate.

Abstract:
Absorptive capacity (AC) describes new knowledge absorption and its use for innovation on an organisational level. In this paper, we explore the role of individual AC (IAC) for corporate innovation. We focus on the individual and relationships among the capability dimensions of existing AC models. A quantitative online survey allows us to empirically explore and underline the role of the individual in AC. Our findings contribute to and extend existing theories of AC, by confirming the multidimensionality of IAC, shed light on the view of transformation and exploitation as alternative paths and their effect on different innovation processes. Our research highlights the individual’s central role in innovation and introduces, explores and evaluates individual capacities to absorb new knowledge. This in consequence will influence processes and structures within a company with regard to innovation and human resource management.

Abstract:
Organisational innovation depends on individuals and managers fostering and maintaining the innovative capacities of the firm, where opportunity recognition is important for promoting corporate entrepreneurship. The study is unique in its focus on understanding opportunity recognition behaviours and motivators of employees and how these perceptions may influence corporate entrepreneurial activity. The study is conducted in an under-researched emerging market context, where 187 respondents were surveyed in the financial sector industry. The empirical findings indicate that employees perceive themselves as having high levels of opportunity recognition behaviours and motivators which are positively associated with willingness to engage in corporate entrepreneurial initiatives. The results further show that there is a significant positive relationship between opportunity recognition behaviours and the frequency of opportunities recognised. Implications highlight the importance of fostering opportunity recognition behaviours within an organisation and motivating employees to act innovatively.

The conception of tourist destinations as knowledge-creating systems still shows substantial gaps, especially when it comes to destinations in Developing Countries. Building upon a theoretical enhancement of the concept of absorptive-capacity and backed by empirical findings from a rural destination of Azerbaijan, this paper presents a conceptual approach to model the activation of inter-organisational linkages as an ability of individual companies to recognise and valorise product-potentials in their destinations’ ecosystem. Using a triangulated methodology to analyse procedural, cultural and structural determinants for the absorption of innovation-knowledge, potentials for the creation of knowledge-networks are presented from the perspective of the Azerbaijani accommodation business.

Abstract:
Les grandes entreprises évoluent dans un environnement social, climatique, économique et désormais sanitaire, complexe et incertain qui remet en cause le déterminisme mécanique et la logique cartésienne. A cela, s’ajoute une 4ème révolution industrielle. Pour survivre, elles doivent donc évoluer et accroitre leur capacité d’innovation. La majorité des études existantes se sont alors concentrées sur l’innovation technologique, négligeant la dimension non technologique de l’innovation, couramment nommée : « innovation organisationnelle ». Pourtant, cette dernière permet aux grandes entreprises de prendre en compte un ensemble de facteurs qui favorisent leur capacité d’innovation et l’ancre dans leurs routines. L’objectif est alors, grâce à une approche systémique et transdisciplinaire, d’identifier ces facteurs, que nous nommons « capacités d’Innovation Organisationnelle ». Elles regroupent les capacités dynamiques de l’entreprise ainsi que les antécédents de l’innovation organisationnelle. En effet, bien souvent l’innovation non technologique est perçue comme un concept flou et hétéroclite. Il apparait donc nécessaire de doter les entreprises de modèles, méthodes et d’outils qui permettent de rendre le concept concret et opérationnel. Néanmoins, de nos jours, la modélisation d’entreprise présente des limites pour d’une part, la représentation d’une grande entreprise que nous assimilons à un système« Organique » sociotechnique complexe et ouvert et d’autre part pour la représentation et pilotage des capacités d’Innovation Organisationnelle. Ainsi, dans le cadre d’une convention CIFRE avec l’entreprise SNCF Réseau, le laboratoire IMS de l’Université de Bordeaux et le laboratoire Icube de l’Université de Strasbourg, nous proposons un cadre conceptuel de la grande entreprise, de l’innovation organisationnelle ainsi qu’une démarche d’analyse et de préconisation des capacités d’Innovation Organisationnelle, basée sur notre propre modèle de l’innovation organisationnelle pour une grande entreprise.Ce travail de thèse a donc abouti à l’élaboration d’un méta-modèle qui permet à la grande entreprise d’avoir une vision systémique d’elle-même dans le but d’améliorer sa capacité d’innovation. Le modèle se compose de trois systèmes « Organisation-Territoire- Réseau d’acteurs, » et permet de mettre en évidence les capacités d’Innovation Organisationnelle au sein des systèmes dans une logique de caractérisation et de pilotage de celles-ci notamment grâce à l’évaluation de leurs impacts et de leurs priorités. Notre démarche repose sur une étude de cas basée sur une méthodologie quantitative multicritères.Au final, cette thèse est à l’origine de plusieurs contributions. Tout d’abord, le décloisonnement des sciences nous permet d’étudier les antécédents de l’innovation organisationnelle liées au territoire, et aux réseaux d’acteurs, au-delà des approches classiques qui privilégient en général les antécédents internes à l’organisation. Ensuite, nous concédons une place centrale aux dimensions humaines et sociales qui s’avèrent essentielles tout comme l’est une meilleure compréhension de leurs interactions à la fois formelles et informelles (ex : culture d’entreprise, climat social, connaissances, leadership…). Enfin, l’étude de l’impact des capacités d’Innovation Organisationnelle que nous proposons n’a jamais été réalisée auparavant pour une grande entreprise (des travaux sur les PME existent). Ainsi, la capacité d’innovation d’une grande entreprise est dépendante des interactions entre le territoire, les systèmes qui le composent, ses réseaux d’acteurs et les systèmes socio technique de l’organisation. Ces résultats débouchent sur des recommandations pour un meilleur pilotage des capacités d’Innovation Organisationnelle favorisant la capacité d’Innovation qui s’ancre dans la culture de l’entreprise
Large companies evolve in a complex and uncertain social, climatic, economic and now health environment that challenges mechanical determinism and Cartesian logic. In addition, there is a 4th industrial revolution. To survive, they must evolve and increase their capacity for innovation. Most existing studies have focused on technological innovation, neglecting the non-technological dimension of innovation, commonly called "organizational innovation". However, the latter allows large companies to take into account a set of factors that promote their capacity for innovation and anchor it in their routines. The objective is then, thanks to a systemic and transdisciplinary approach, to identify these factors, which we call "Organizational Innovation capabilities". They include the dynamic capabilities of the company as well as the antecedents of organizational innovation. Indeed, non-technological innovation is often perceived as a vague and heterogeneous concept. It is therefore necessary to provide companies with models, methods and tools that make the concept concrete and operational. Nevertheless, nowadays, enterprise modeling has its limits for, on the one hand, the representation of a large enterprise that we assimilate to a complex and open "organic" socio-technical system and, on the other hand, for the representation and management of Organizational Innovation capacities. Thus, within the framework of a CIFRE agreement with the company SNCF Réseau, the IMS laboratory of the University of Bordeaux and the Icube laboratory of the University of Strasbourg, we propose a conceptual framework of the large company, of organizational innovation as well as an approach of analysis and recommendation of the capacities of Organizational Innovation, based on our own model of the organizational innovation for a large company This thesis work has therefore led to the development of a meta-model that allows the large company to have a systemic vision of itself in order to improve its innovation capacity. The model is composed of three systems "Organization-Territory-Network of actors," and makes it possible to highlight the capacities of Organizational Innovation within the systems in a logic of characterization and piloting of those in particular thanks to the evaluation of their impacts and their priorities. Our approach is based on a case study using a quantitative multi-criteria methodology. In the end, this thesis is the source of several contributions. First, the decompartmentalization of sciences allows us to study the antecedents of organizational innovation linked to the territory and to the networks of actors, beyond the classical approaches that generally privilege the internal antecedents of the organization. Secondly, we give a central place to human and social dimensions, which are essential, as is a better understanding of their interactions, both formal and informal (e.g. corporate culture, social climate, knowledge, leadership, etc.). Finally, the study of the impact of Organizational Innovation capabilities that we propose has never been done before for a large company (work on SMEs exists). Thus, the innovation capacity of a large company is dependent on the interactions between the territory, the systems that make it up, its networks of actors and the socio-technical systems of the organization. These results lead to recommendations for a better management of the organizational innovation capacity that is anchored in the company's culture

Abstract:
La thèse analyse le déploiement stratégique des firmes dans un High-Velocity Environment à travers la mise en œuvre de capacités dynamiques. Elle propose une étude d’un type de capacité dynamique particulier – les capacités dynamiques relationnelles – quand celles-ci sont portées par des stratégies d’innovation ouverte déployées par les firmes du secteur de la pharmacie et des biotechnologies. La première partie développe les cadres théoriques des capacités dynamiques relationnelles et des stratégies d’innovation ouverte. Dans cette partie, la thèse suivante est soutenue : les capacités dynamiques relationnelles des firmes s’expriment de manière concrète dans les stratégies d’innovation ouverte – en tant que mode de gestion de l’incertitude provenant des High-Velocity Environments. Dans une deuxième partie, nous établissons une relation entre les capacités dynamiques relationnelles et les stratégies d’innovation ouverte. Le champ empirique de cette partie est celui de cas de firmes de l’industrie pharmaceutique – grands laboratoires (Sanofi en particulier) ou startups de biotechnologies. La thèse montre que dans les High-Velocity Environments, la gestion de l’incertitude implique une modification de la mémoire organisationnelle de la firme par le biais de l’expression de capacités dynamiques relationnelles. Concrètement, ces capacités spécifiques se traduisent stratégiquement par l’adoption de pratiques d’innovation ouverte. Dans le secteur de l’industrie pharmaceutique, l’ensemble des acteurs adopte ce type de stratégies afin de gérer l’incertitude liée aux mutations de son environnement
The thesis analyzes the strategic deployment of firms in a High-Velocity Environment through dynamic capabilities. It provides a study of a particular type of dynamic capability – dynamic relational capabilities – through firm’s open innovation strategies in the biopharmaceutical sector. In the first part, we offer a theoretical development of dynamic relational capabilities and open innovation strategies. In this part, we will consider that firms’ dynamic relational capabilities are expressed concretely in open innovation strategies – as a way to manage uncertainty stemming from High Velocity Environments. In the second part, we show empirically the relationship between dynamic relational capabilities and open innovation strategies by studying the case of various firms in the biopharmaceutical industry– Big Pharmas (Sanofi) and biotech start-ups. The thesis shows that in the High-Velocity Environments, managing uncertainty implies a firm’s organizational memory modification through dynamic relational capabilities. Specifically, these capabilities are expressed in open innovation practices. In the biopharmaceutical sector in particular, all kind of firms adopt this type of strategies in order to manage the uncertainty coming from recent evolutions

Abstract:
L'objectif de notre recherche consiste à tenter de rendre compte des dynamiques d'élaboration, de maintien, et d'évolution du sens associé à l’innovation dans les organisations. Il s’agit d’en tirer un modèle de compréhension de la façon dont certaines organisations parviennent à innover dans la durée. Pour ce faire, nous avons mobilisé les travaux relatifs aux institutions intra-organisationnelles pour rendre compte des dynamiques du contexte culturel de légitimation des comportements liés à l’innovation dans les organisations. Notre travail porte sur une compréhension autant des formes de l’institué culturel autour de l’innovation que des effets de l’action innovante organisée (l’instituant) ainsi que des dynamiques d’élaboration, de maintien et d’évolution qui sont à l’œuvre entre institué et instituant, ce que nous appellerons le travail d’institutionnalisation. La méthodologie de la recherche repose sur l’extension théorique enracinée à partir de l’examen de quatre études de cas. Pour donner à voir les dynamiques d’institutionnalisation de l’innovation dans ces organisations, des données secondaires ont d’abord été recueillies puis des entretiens semi-directifs ont été conduits et soumis à une analyse qualitative. À travers un travail d’institutionnalisation de l’innovation, les acteurs et les groupes internes élaborent une réalité sociale du « patrimoine innovant » de l’entreprise. Celle-ci leur permet de gérer l’anxiété qu’ils peuvent ressentir à se projeter dans l’action innovante. Les capacités des organisations à innover dans la durée reposent en grande partie sur les capacités résilientes des institutions-innovation à reconstruire du sens autour de l’innovation
This thesis stems from recent developments of research dealing with organizational capabilities to innovate. The traditional approach of the strategic management of innovation or corporate entrepreneurship appears to be prisoners of an “action-structure” duality. In contrast, our research aims at grasping the intraorganizational dynamics which are at work to give sense associate to innovative activities and innovation. Calling upon contributions from the field of intraorganizational institutions, we examine those dynamics as (a) productions of institutionalized forms around innovation, (b) effects on the innovative activities, and (c) their ordering in an institutional work. The methodological design of our research consists in an extended case method based upon four case studies. Secondary data were collected and semi-structured interviews were the conducted and submitted to a qualitative analysis. The results of this research suggest that intraorganizational institutions are a relevant theoretical frame to describe sensemaking around innovation and innovative activities within organizations. This thus helps better understand organizational capabilities to maintain innovation. Through a process of institutionalization, members of the organization and groups share a common understanding of the organization’s “innovation patrimony”. This social construct helps them deal with the anxiety attached to innovating. Organizational capabilities to maintain innovation rely on resilient capacities of “innovation-institutions” to give sense either directly via the institutionalized or more indirectly via the institutionalizing

Abstract:
Face à la complexité de leur environnement, les banques se voient à la fois bousculées et stimulées par les nouveaux entrants, et contraintes par le nouveau format réglementaire. Dans le secteur bancaire, la question de l’innovation, et plus encore son organisation et son pilotage, s’imposent ainsi comme des sujets majeurs de réflexion. Notre recherche doctorale se propose ainsi d’étudier le processus d’innovation d’une banque régionale de détail sous l’angle de la théorie des capacités dynamiques. Dans cette thèse, nous choisissons d’étudier cinq dispositifs organisationnels lancés à intervalles réguliers par une banque régionale de détail : le Crédit Agricole d’Aquitaine. Ces nouveaux dispositifs, internes et externes, ont pour objectif d’alimenter l’organisation-support en nouvelles connaissances. Nous proposons de lire ces pratiques au regard du modèle développé par Teece (2007) et de transposer les trois phases de son analyse (Sensing, Seizing, Transforming) au sein du cas étudié. Les résultats de cette thèse consistent, d’une part, à décrire une démarche naissante mais bien réelle d’innovation au sein de l’entité bancaire. D’autre part, nous recensons des difficultés de connexion entre ces dispositifs et l'organisation-support (diffusion des nouvelles connaissances, transformation des pratiques, évolution des comportements). Un autre intérêt de notre recherche est de démontrer la relative fragilité du modèle des capacités dynamiques de Teece (2007), celui-ci ne s’appliquant que partiellement au cas bancaire investigué
Faced with the complexity of their environment, banks are both jostled and stimulated by new entrants, and constrained by the new regulatory format. In the banking sector, the question of innovation, and even more its organization and its management, are thus essential topics for reflection. Our doctoral research thus proposes to study the innovation process of a regional retail bank from the perspective of dynamic capacity theory. In this thesis, we choose to study five organizational initiatives launched at regular intervals by a regional retail bank: Crédit Agricole d'Aquitaine. These new devices, internal and external, aim to feed the support organization with new knowledge. We propose to read these practices in light of the model developed by Teece (2007) and to transpose the three phases of its analysis (Sensing, Seizing, Transforming) into the studied case. The results of this thesis consist, on the one hand, in describing a nascent but very real initiative of innovation within the banking entity. On the other hand, we identify difficulties of connection between these initiatives and the support organization (diffusion of new knowledge, transformation of practices, evolution of behaviors). Another interest of our research is to demonstrate the relative fragility of Teece's dynamic capacity model (2007), which only partially applies to the investigated banking case

A la différence de nombreux travaux sur l’imitation, cette recherche propose une approche de l’imitationpar les capacités. L’objet de notre recherche est d’identifier les capacités qu’une organisation peutdévelopper pour réussir un processus d’imitation sur les marchés concurrentiels. Pour réaliser cetterecherche, nous avons défini et distingué différents types d’imitation et mobilisé l’approche par lescapacités dynamiques qui nous semble pertinente pour expliquer la mobilisation et la reconfiguration desressources et compétences d’une organisation pour réagir sur un marché. Empiriquement, nous avonschoisi d’étudier les décisions d’imitation prises sur le marché des cartes bancaires marocaines pouridentifier les capacités. Nous avons mis en place une méthodologie de recherche qualitative -l’étude decas multiples-, basée sur une approche abductive. Les résultats de l’étude montrent que les banquesmarocaines développent des capacités d’imitation (capacité d’absorption, capacités d’apprendre parobservation des concurrents, capacité de collecte d’informations et capacité de R&D imitative) enfonction du type d’imitation visée. Le type d’imitation dépend également de la taille d’une banque.Certaines de ces capacités sont considérées comme des capacités dynamiques. Ces résultats viennentenrichir les connaissances sur l’imitation et les capacités dynamiques. Cependant, ce travail présentecertaines limites inhérentes à la méthodologie choisie et propose des perspectives d’amélioration étantdonnée la jeunesse de l’approche par les capacités dynamiques
Contrary to past studies on imitation, this research proposes an approach from a capabilities perspective.Our objective is to identify the capabilities that an organization can develop in order for its imitationprocess to be successful in competitive markets. We identify, define and distinguish different types ofimitations using the concept of “dynamic capabilities” due to its potential to explain the organization’sreaction to the market through the mobilization and reconfiguration of its resources and competencies.To identify such capabilities, we investigate the decisions to imitate with respect to the banking cardsmarket using a qualitative research strategy with multiple case studies and an abductive approach. Theresults show that Moroccan retail banks develop imitation capabilities (absorptive capacities, learningcapabilities through the observation of competitotrs, capabilities to collect information, and R&Dimitative capacities) according to the sought type of imitation which depends to an extent on the size ofthe bank. Some of the developed capabilities are considered to be dynamic. These results contribute tothe current body of knowledge on imitation and dynamic capabilities. However, this research presentscertain limitations inherent to the adopted methodology; hence it suggests some improvements given thestate of infancy of the approach to imitation by the concept of dynamic capabilities

Abstract:
L'administration publique, la gestion stratégique et le comportement organisationnel ont trouvé une intersection dans la microfoundation comportementale des capacités dynamiques. La thèse commence par définir ce champ et les mots-clés de la question de recherche. Les aspects sont traités avec revues de littérature et analyses empiriques avec une vision positiviste. L'attention est sur les organisations publiques. Après avoir élaboré l'évolution des paradigmes, tels que New Public Management et la Gouvernance en Réseau, l'enquête se limite aux communautés territoriales. Les municipalités se caractérisent par leur proximité avec les parties prenantes externes et la possibilité d'appliquer concepts stratégiques, comme les capacités dynamiques, qui sont déjà un facteur crucial dans le secteur privé. Deux capacités dynamiques sont pertinentes: l'innovation et l'ambidextérité. La thèse définit ces constructions et étudie leurs antécédents. Deux domaines caractérisent la microfoundation : les capacités cognitives, liées à la psychologie, et le capital social, lié à la sociologie. L’étude évidence les relations fondées sur les connaissances dedans et dehors l’organisation avec trois élaborations : le développement d'un modèle de gestion des connaissances, une revue des relations internes, une autre sur les relations externes. La littérature sur les capacités cognitives individuelles est vaste. L'accent est mis sur pleine conscience et compétences politiques. Les deux concepts sont définis et liens avec capital social et capacités dynamiques sont élaborés. Hypothèses individuelles et multiniveaux sont développées pour chaque concept. Les parties suivantes répondent empiriquement à ces hypothèses au niveau individuel. Les hypothèses multiniveaux restent théoriques. Elles sont utiles pour recherches futures, ayant recueilli des données aussi au niveau organisationnel. La première étape concerne une étude de cas dans une municipalité avec une analyse des réseaux sociaux, évaluant les relations internes avec une collecte de données individuelle. Cette recherche exploratoire montre les liens entre capital social interne et innovation perçue. Après, une section discute les choix méthodologiques et les bonnes pratiques pour construire un questionnaire. Le débat sur les biais méthodologiques permet une évaluation des limites et des points forts de l'enquête. Le questionnaire comprend des échelles déjà validées avec traduction-rétro-traduction. L'échelle d'ambidextérité est adaptée au secteur public. Il n’y a pas une échelle unique pour le éseautage externe. Etudes empiriques sont analysées et les items liés aux acteurs sont évalués avec une équipe de chercheurs en gestion publique et fonctionnaires. L'enquête est administrée dans les municipalités italiennes. La collecte de données est significative: 551 employés travaillant dans 50 municipalités ont répondu au questionnaire. En particulier, 484 employés dans 46 municipalités ont repli la partie sur les liens avec collègues. Analyses factorielles exploratoires et confirmatoires évaluent les structures des me sures et permettent d'évaluer fiabilité et validité. Les hypothèses de microfoundation du comportement innovant et de l'ambidextérité individuelle sont testées avec régression linéaire présentée de façon hiérarchique avec l'option pour contrôler les effets imbriqués au niveau des municipalités. Une deuxième méthodologie, la modélisation linéaire hiérarchique confirme les résultats. Afin de valider ces résultats et d'analyser en profondeur les hypothèses de médiation, une troisième méthodologie basée sur les équations structurelles est réalisée. Les résultats confirment que les capacités cognitives, la pleine conscience et les compétences politiques, ainsi que le capital social, interne et externe, peuvent avoir des effets positifs sur les capacités dynamiques individuelles dans les municipalités. Les apports méthodologiques, managériaux et théoriques sont discutés
Recently public administration, strategic management and organizational behaviour have found an intersection in behavioural microfoundation of dynamic capabilities. This thesis starts by defining this field and keywords of the research question. The aspects are treated through literature reviews and empirical analyses following a positivistic vision. The attention is on public organizations. After discussing the evolution of paradigms, such as New Public Management and Network Governance, the investigation is limited to local governments. Municipalities are characterized by proximity to external stakeholders and the possibility to apply strategic concepts, such as dynamic capabilities, which have been mainly a crucial factor in the private sec-tor. Two dynamic capabilities are relevant: innovation and ambidexterity. The thesis defines these constructs and studies their antecedents. In microfoundation, two major fields are cognitive capabilities, related to psychology, and social capital, connected to sociology. The study highlights knowledge-based relationships within and outside organizations with three elaborations: the development of a model of knowledge management, a review on internal relations, another review concerning external networking. The literature on individual cognitive capabili-ties is vast. The focus is on mindfulness and political skill. Both constructs are defined and links to social capital and dynamic capabilities are elaborated. Individual and multilevel hypotheses are developed for each construct. The following parts answer these hypotheses at the individual level empirically. The multilevel hypotheses are left at the theoretical side. They are useful for future research, having collected data also at the organizational level. The first step concerns a case study in a local government through social network analysis, assessing internal relation-ships through an ego-network data collection. This exploratory research shows links between internal social capital and perceived innovation. Secondly, a section discusses methodological choices and good practices to build a questionnaire. The debate oncommon method biases al-lows an evaluation of the limits and strengths of the survey. The questionnaire includes scales already validated with translation-back-translation. The ambidexterity scale was adapted for public organizations. For external networking, there is not a single scale used identically in academic articles. Empirical studies are analysed and various items related to different external stakeholders are evaluated with a team of scholars in public management and public servants. The survey is administered in Italian local governments. Data collection is significant: 551 municipal employees working in 50 municipalities answered the questionnaire. In particular, 484 employees in 46 municipalities filled in the part about ties with colleagues. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses evaluate the structures of measurements and allow to evaluate the reliability and validity of measurements. The microfoundation hypotheses of innovative behaviour and individual ambidexterity are tested statistically with OLS linear regression presented in a hierarchical way and with the option to control for nested effects at the level of municipalities. A second methodology, Hierarchical Linear Modelling confirms results. In order to validate these results and to analyse in-depth mediation hypotheses, a third methodology based on Structural Equation Modeling is conducted. The results confirm that cognitive capabilities, mindfulness and political skills, and social capital, internal and external, may have positive effects on individual dynamic capabilities in local governments. Results are discussed on the contribution that this thesis provides in methodological, managerial and theoretical terms

Abstract:
Analyser les facteurs qui influencent le choix organisationnel de la firme en matière de R&D représente un thème central dans la littérature en gestion. Cependant, face à un environnement turbulent, les travaux actuels présentent quelques lacunes pour rendre compte de la montée des coopérations en R&D. Nous proposons donc, dans cette recherche, d'adopter une nouvelle perspective comparative, qui regroupe deux courants habituellement présentés comme concurrents :1'analyse transactionnelle et l'approche par les connaissances. Notre objectif est de répondre aux questions de recherche suivantes : Quels sont les facteurs explicatifs du choix organisationnel de la firme en matière d'activité inventive ? Comment peut-on replacer les stratégies de coopération en R&D dans la perspective plus vaste du processus d'internationalisation de la recherche des firmes japonaises ? Pour répondre à ces questions, notre démarche s'appuie sur une analyse quantitative, centrée sur un modèle du choix organisationnel et sur une analyse qualitative, fondée sur six études de cas Les résultats font ressortir la présence d'une double dimension sous-jacente au choix organisationnel de la firme. La première, au niveau de la transaction, montre que les variables relatives au comportement opportuniste ne semblent pas influer sur le choix organisationnel en matière inventive, alors que la variable relative à l'expérience cumulée a un impact positif sur le développement interne. La deuxième dimension, au niveau de la firme, montre que les capacités dynamiques sont façonnées par le contexte institutionnel et influent sur le choix organisationnel de la firme en matière de R&D : Certains dispositifs, tels que la présence d'un laboratoire de recherche fondamentale ou le recours aux consortia, ont une influence positive sur le développement interne. D'autres éléments, tels que la détention d'actifs complémentaires ou les coopérations avec le système de recherche international, favorisent le recours aux coopérations
Analysis of the factors that influence firms' organizational choices in the field of R&D is a central theme of management literature. However, due to rapid changes in the environment, available research is of limited use in explaining the development of collaborative relationships in R&D. Our research proposes a new comparative framework in which we incorporate two approaches that are usually presented as antagonistic: transactional analysis and the knowledge approach. The aim of this research is to answer the following questions : - What factors explain firms' organizational choices for innovative activities ? - What is the significance of R&D cooperation within the general framework of internationalization of research in Japanese firms? In order to answer these questions, we have combined quantitative analysis, based on the organizational choice model, with qualitative analysis of six case studies/Our findings show that two levels underlie firms' organizational choices. Firstly, on the transactional level, variables related to opportunistic behaviour do not seem to influence organizational choices concerning innovative activities, whereas the variable related to in-house R&D experience has a positive impact on R&D internalization. Secondly, on the level of firms, dynamic capacities are shaped by the institutional context and influence firms' organizational choices in the field of R&D : - Certain elements, such as availability of a basic research laboratory or the possibility of forming consortia, seem to have a positive impact on R&D internalization. - Other elements, such as availability of complementary assets or international research agreements with universities abroad, appear to favour collaborative relationships

Abstract:
Le Chapitre 1 propose un survol de la littérature consacrée à l'éco-innovation. A la lumière des travaux passés en revue, l'éco-innovation n’est pas encore un concept bien stabilisé : sa définition même continue d'évoluer, appelant des corrections et des précisions. Ce chapitre accorde une attention particulière au rôle de la règlementation, qui est souvent présentée dans la littérature comme un déterminant essentiel de l'éco-innovation, notamment quand l'innovation concerne un procédé de fabrication. Une controverse demeure à ce propos, en particulier quand la règlementation repose sur des normes environnementales peu contraignantes, voire facultatives (telle la norme ISO 14001). Le processus de diffusion de l'éco-innovation est un autre objet de controverse dans la littérature.[...]. Le Chapitre 2 va donc s'intéresser au premier point de controverse, à savoir le rôle des règlementations environnementales ayant une dimension facultative, comme les normes de type ISO 14001. A l'aide d'une analyse par appariement sur les scores de propension, nous examinons l'effet de l'adoption de normes de type ISO 140001 sur la performance des entreprises (mesurée à partir de la Valeur Ajoutée).[...] Le Chapitre 3 s'intéresse à savoir le processus de diffusion de l'éco-innovation. En raison des contraintes posées par les données disponibles, cette investigation se fait du point de vue des barrières à, et des déterminants de, l'innovation environnementale.[...] Le Chapitre 4 exploitant les données des Enquêtes Communautaires sur l'Innovation de 2008 (CIS 2008), qui contiennent un module spécifiquement dédié à l’éco-innovation. Ainsi, à la différence du chapitre 3, nous établissons – à l'aide du module spécifique de l'enquête – une typologie originale permettant de distinguer, parmi les entreprises éco-innovantes: (1) les entreprises adoptant une éco-innovation de manière passive, (2) les entreprises adoptant tardivement une éco-innovation de manière stratégique, (3) les entreprises adoptant précocement une éco-innovation de manière stratégique, (4) les éco-innovateurs stratégiques tardifs et (5) les éco-innovateurs stratégiques précoces.[...]
Environmental 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. [...]

Abstract:
L’objet de cette thèse est l’analyse de l’innovation à partir des connaissances autour de l’approche Knowledge-Based Innovation (KBI) qui décrit l’innovation à travers le prisme de la connaissance. L’innovation s’apparente, foncièrement, à un processus de création, d’application et de diffusion de différents types de connaissances. Cette recherche se focalise sur la phase cognitive de l’innovation dont l’ancrage choisi a été celui d’une approche par les capacités. Nous cherchons alors à identifier les capacités organisationnelles qui sous-tendent l’innovation en amont et à expliquer comment ces capacités s’articulent pour favoriser l’innovation à partir des connaissances. A la lumière des développements théoriques effectués, nous avons élaboré notre modèle conceptuel de recherche qui consacre le rôle médiateur de la capacité d’absorption.La démarche méthodologique appliquée est qualimétrique. Deux études empiriques ont été menées. La première est qualitative, basée sur des entretiens exploratoires. Elle a permis, dans un premier temps, de décrire et d’illustrer les relations étudiées, et dans un second temps, d’affiner nos interrogations et de les enrichir par deux nouvelles propositions de recherche. La deuxième étude est quantitative. Elle s’est basée sur l’administration du questionnaire conçu, à des entreprises françaises œuvrant majoritairement dans le secteur industriel. Cette étude, basée sur la méthode des équations structurelles, a validé globalement le modèle développé en affirmant la médiation partielle de la capacité d’absorption, mais elle a rejeté, toutefois, l’existence de relations entre les investissements en R&D et la capacité d’absorption
The purpose of this thesis is the analysis of the Knowledge-Based Innovation (KBI) which describes innovation through the prism of knowledge approach. Innovation seems essentially like a process of creation, application and dissemination of different types of knowledge. This research focuses on the cognitive phase of innovation explained according to a capability approach. We seek to identify organizational capabilities that sustain innovation and to explain how these capabilities are linked to promote innovation based on knowledge. We developed then a conceptual model that establishes the mediating role of absorptive capacity.Our methodology is based on two empirical studies. The first is qualitative, based on exploratory interviews. It enabled to illustrate the studied relationships, to refine our questions and to enrich the conceptual model with two new research proposals. The second study is quantitative. It is based on the administration of the questionnaire designed for French companies which operate mainly in the industrial sector. This study, based on a structural equation method, validated the overall developed model. It asserted the partial mediation of the absorption capacity. However the existence of relationships between investment in R&D and absorptive capacity was rejected

Abstract:
AbstractGovernance, innovation and spatial planning are recognised as dimensions of the territorial development process in the European Regional Policy. This paper explores the joint possibilities of Community-led Local Development (CLLD), as an approach that encourages the participation of local actors in sustainable urban development, and the EU Urban Agenda, as a strategic spatial planning instrument, applied in the cross-border area of the Eurocity of Guadiana. It draws on existing literature and the empirical development of the INTERREG EuroGuadiana 2020 project to define the objectives of the process and the key components of the territorial governance scheme. It shows that the urban governance formula for cross-border cities, based on the combination of European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC), CLLD and Urban Agenda, represents an opportunity both to strengthen the organisational capacities of partnerships and to implement inclusive and participatory action plans. It is concluded that the Eurocity of Guadiana must overcome limiting factors such as community resistance to change, as well as the paradox of planning across borders and the demands of cross-border governance.

Abstract:
By considering creativity to be a necessity for organisational competitiveness in today's rigorously changing working environments, this study seeks to examine whether adopting a service-based working culture could significantly improve organisational creativity and innovation. Grounded on the concepts of the Service-Dominant Logic and Complex Adaptive Systems, this research develops on understanding of the complexity of the emerging socially and digitally connected networks of individuals, teams and institutions. By introducing a novel framework for facilitating and improving the adaptability of a service-based working culture, this study offers both deliberation and practical advice for business organisations seeking valuable insight into how to develop and manage organisational creativity and innovation in increasingly digitalised service ecosystems. Specifically, the proposed framework encourages organisations to invest in the learning capacities and motivations of their employees.

In order for Bosnia and Herzegovina to increase and strengthen the commercialization of research and innovativeness of companies, it is necessary to (1) increase investments in R&D at least to the norm of the African Union (1% of GDP), as the European Union norm (3% of GDP) is too high, and (2) design and implement policy measures aimed at stimulating the research and development capacities of the business sector (through tax incentives for staff and capital engagement) to strengthen the activities of commercialization of research and development and links between universities and business companies (e.g., to establish a program for the establishment of technology and innovation centres [one per region]).

Abstract:
This chapter argues that Weberian notions reveal themselves in the context of innovation bureaucracies through two ideal-typical categories of organisations: charismatic networks and expert organisations. The charismatic networks provide agility and dynamism for innovation bureaucracies to search for new directions and ways of doing things, while expert organisations bring long-term focus, predictability, and stability to deliver needed policies and results. It defines agile stability as the symbiosis of charismatic networks and expert organisations, which are the key to the success of capitalist systems. The chapter describes genuinely entrepreneurial states that have capacities and capabilities for agile stability, in other words, being oriented towards overall success in context. It explains how agile stability requires agility- and stability-oriented mindsets and for organisations to be able to go along with, support, and lead economic and societal transformations.

Abstract:
This study provides an overview of the important initiatives higher education institutions (HEIs) are implementing to develop their entrepreneurial and innovative potential. The authors performed a systematic analysis of the 62 case studies reported on the HEInnovate website. The initiatives described within these case studies are classified under the eight dimensions of the HEInnovate framework and further grouped under new sub-dimensions which emerged inductively during content analysis. For each sub-dimension, the study analyses the similarities and specificities of the initiatives taken by universities and identifies key learnings and future challenges. The most frequently highlighted dimensions include entrepreneurial teaching and learning, knowledge exchange and collaboration, leadership and governance, and organisational capacity. Findings reveal the key role of strategy and organisational resources and capacities in developing the entrepreneurial agenda and the strong alignment of the entrepreneurial university to its three missions.

Abstract:
This chapter describes and analyses an innovative form of partnership for the reception and integration of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Gothenburg, Sweden. The municipality of Gothenburg works with children who arrive in Sweden without adults. It does this through a form of collaborative partnership (idéburnaoffentligapartnerskap, IOP) with nine civil society organisations. Often housing and care are the only services asylum-seeking children receive through municipal or contracted service providers. The Gothenburg IOP provides children with a wide variety of complementary services including psychosocial counselling, access to Swedish social networks through volunteer ‘friend’ families, tailored leisure time activities and summer work practice opportunities. This IOP partnership is experimental in Swedish local public policy. It has been successful in increasing municipal capacities through new patterns of more equal and long-term relations with civil society.

The chapter outlines the research findings on how ISIS fights and what makes it unique in terms of relative combat effectiveness. It presents concluding observations for future research, with finding that a flexible shifting across three major types of strategies, 15 categories of tactics, and multiple operational approaches best explained ISIS success. Its strategic agility, operational adaptability and tactical innovations have made the difference and the chapter explains precisely how that works. The also chapter outlines how ISIS was able to build-up its combat capacities and how it effectively employed them to fight, expand, and endure in four countries. The level of tactical ingenuity and strategic adaptation of the organisation’s “provinces” and combat units is remarkable in comparison with other armed nonstate actors. In the Arab region, the combat effectiveness of ISIS surpasses that of many Arab armies, considering its limited resources. The chapter shows how the highlighted group of case-studies (represented by a sample of ISIS Provinces) poses challenges to some of the literature on military, insurgency and terrorism studies; as well as to some of the security policies employed in the region.

Abstract:
The paradigm shift in higher education pedagogy and policy has been a subject of discussion for 30 years, during which time the emphasis has been placed on the transition to student-centred education. The implementation of this approach requires the democratisation of the study process and a shift towards performance-based outcomes, thus promoting students’ research capacities, well-being, personal growth, and quality of life. The most important document on the subject, which was developed in collaboration with the leading organisations of the Bologna Process, is the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area. This describes the common understanding of student-centred learning, teaching, and assessment. The standards and guidelines are also incorporated into the Latvian higher education quality assurance regulations. The authors of the present study are involved in the development and approbation of a new master’s study program, in which special attention is paid to the implementation of the principles of student-centred education. The central aim of the present study was to study the experience of lecturers in the implementation of the principles of student-centred education in the programme. The relevant literature and documents were surveyed and data from questionnaires (distributed to programme participants) were analysed. Using the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area and the Science, Technology Development and Innovation Guidelines 2021−2027 approved by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science, the present study sets out 10 basic principles of student-centred education. A survey was created for lecturers who are implementing the newly created master’s programme over one semester. Seventeen lecturers participated. The analysis of the questionnaire results indicated that promoting mutual respect in student−academic staff relations and students’ active engagement in the study process were considered to be the most important principles. The results also revealed that lecturers applied every student−centred principle, but it is necessary to promote a common understanding by developing a mechanism for evaluating them and to improve the competence of teachers in implementing them.

Abstract:
Cette étude a tiré parti d’une infrastructure d’encadrement et de collecte de données et de relations préalables légué par le projet Feed the Future Sénégal Naatal Mbay (« agriculture florissante »), financé par l’Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international (USAID) et mis en œuvre par RTI International entre 2015 et 2019. Réalisée en 2020, la recherche a intégré des organisations de producteurs pour qu’elles puissent suivre les ménages ruraux membres de leurs réseaux alors qu’ils faisaient face à la pandémie de COVID-19 et tentaient de réagir à ce choc. Les organisations de producteurs, avec le soutien de RTI et de la société-conseil locale STATINFO, ont réalisé une enquête sur un échantillon de 800 ménages agricoles membres de quatre organisations de producteurs soutenus par Naatal Mbay, réalisée en deux passages successifs, en août et octobre 2020. Des groupes de discussion ont été menés avec les responsables des réseaux, ainsi qu’une collecte de données a posteriori ont permis de contextualiser l’expérience face au choc de la COVID-19 et de valider les conclusions. Les conclusions ont montré que les producteurs étaient déjà aux prises des effets des faibles précipitations de la saison de production de 2019 et que la COVID-19 a aggravé ce premier choc du fait des perturbations des communications et des interdictions de déplacements entre les régions, créant ainsi des pénuries alimentaires et exerçant ainsi une pression sur l’utilisation des stocks de semences à des fins alimentaires. Les effets de l’insécurité alimentaire, mesurés par le biais de l’échelle d’accès d’insécurité alimentaire des ménages, se sont avérés être plus importants pour les ménages de Casamance que pour ceux des régions de Kaolack et de Kaffrine. Les conclusions ont également indiqué que les réseaux de producteurs ont déployé une intervention coordonnée incluant aide alimentaire et accès à des équipements de protection individuelle, distribution de semences de légumes et de céréales à cycle court (par exemple, le niébé et le maïs) et des semences adaptées au jardinage, mesures de protection pour les semences de céréales de l’année suivante et innovations financières avec les banques pour sécuriser les crédits. On s’attend à ce que les stocks d’alimentation soient reconstitués au début de la récolte en octobre 2020 et les réseaux prévoient d’accélérer la multiplication des semences, de diversifier les cultures au-delà des céréales, d’améliorer la communication au sein des réseaux et de généraliser l’accès aux instruments financiers au cours de la saison 2021. Les études ont indiqué que le projet antérieur financé par l’USAID est susceptible d'avoir contribué aux capacités de résilience des réseaux en renforçant le capital social et en encourageant le recours à des technologies et outils nouveaux au cours de ses années de fonctionnement.
