Consumer adoption of artificially intelligence-supported devices for sports services: an empirical validation
No full textNeeds to be added to outcome of grant:Audencia Foundation Funding on project "AI acceptance in the sport consumer context" (2024)International audiencePurpose This study empirically tests the Artificially Intelligent Device Use Acceptance Model in the context of sports services. Design/methodology/approach The model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling on data from 105 users. Findings We found that emotions towards artificially intelligence (AI)-supported devices predict the intention to use these devices but not objection behavior. Consumers’ appraisal of AI anthropomorphism does not significantly impact performance or effort expectancies. Research limitations/implications The main limitation is the relatively small sample size. The tested model is partially validated, and we identify new variables to extend the model. We contribute to the controversial literature on using AI to replace human agents in service delivery. Practical implications This research aids organizations in refining their investment and diffusion strategies for AI-supported devices. Originality/value These findings extend the literature by validating an AI-specific theoretical model for sports services, providing insights for enhancing AI-supported device adoption strategies
Strategic CSR: investigating the ripple effect of corporate social responsibility on perceived marketing performance through corporate image and reputation
No full textInternational audienceDespite most companies incorporating CSR into their marketing processes to ensure accountability to stakeholders and societal well-being, over half of consumers believe businesses do not do so sufficiently. This study examines how CSR-oriented corporate identities influence perceived marketing performance through corporate image and reputation. Using data from 435 customers of multinational firms in Cameroon, analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, the findings highlight the mediating roles of corporate image and reputation. They suggest that CSR initiatives must align with stakeholder expectations and cultural norms to effectively signal marketing performance, especially in countries with limited national CSR regulations. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of ethical alignment and stakeholder relationships in enhancing corporate image and reputation, shaping perceptions of marketing performance. Thus, this study contributes to understanding Western institutional, stakeholder, and signaling theories in non-Western contexts, offering actionable insights for leveraging CSR to enhance consumer perceptions, reinforce brand value, and sustain market competitiveness in emerging economies

Quand des collectifs engagés pour les bascules socio-écologiques jouent le rôle d'incubateur : la contribution de deux organisations engagées, la Fresque du Climat et l'Archipel la Bascule
No full textInternational audienceWhen collectives committed to socio-ecological change act as incubators: the contribution of two committed organisations, La Fresque du Climat and L'Archipel la Bascule.In response to the insufficient or too slow transformation of societal models in the face of ecological challenges, some individuals are committing themselves personally and professionally to the ecological transition with a dual objective: to seek alignment between values, convictions and practices, both in the professional and personal spheres, but above all to contribute to ecological shifts, i.e. to aim for alignment with social and ecological limits. Here, we focus on the project leaders of these initiatives, who are initiating a dual movement of change and entrepreneurship. Drawing on their life stories, we seek to identify what makes their transition to action possible and encourages it. We report on how two committed collectives contribute to making this activist entrepreneurship possible. We discuss the specificities and complementarities of these collectives as committed communities of practice and emerging incubators. Within the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, our contribution helps to nurture the notion of activist entrepreneurship and its support.Quand des collectifs engagés pour les bascules socio-écologiques jouent le rôle d'incubateur : la contribution de deux organisations engagées, la Fresque du Climat et l'Archipel la Bascule.En réponse à l'insuffisante ou trop lente transformation des modèles de sociétés face aux défis écologiques, certains individus s'engagent personnellement et professionnellement dans la transition écologique avec un double projet : chercher un alignement entre valeurs, convictions et pratiques, tant dans la sphère professionnelle que personnelle, mais surtout contribuer aux bascules écologiques, c'est à dire viser un alignement avec les limites sociales et écologiques. Nous nous intéressons ici aux porteurs de projets de ces initiatives amorçant un double mouvement de bascule-et-entrepreneuriat. En nous appuyant sur leurs récits de vie, nous cherchons à identifier ce qui rend possible et favorise leur passage à l'action. Nous rendons compte de la manière dont deux collectifs engagés contribuent à rendre possible cet entrepreneuriat activiste. Nous discutons des spécificités et complémentarités de ces collectifs comme communautés de pratiques engagées et incubateur émergeant. Au sein de la littérature sur l'entrepreneuriat soutenable, notre contribution permet de nourrir la notion d'entrepreneuriat activiste et son soutien
A Commentary on Miron et al. (2024): The Essentialist Gender Assumptions and the Overgeneralization of Managerial Power’s Impact on Perceptions of Organizational Justice
No full textInternational audienceThe commentary critiques Miron et al.’s (2024) study on managerial power and gender inequality for its oversimplification of organizational justice through binary gender and power distinctions. It takes issue with the study’s assertion that female managers are inherently more sensitive to gender issues, which could reinforce stereotypes and overlook individual and contextual differences. The study also overgeneralizes the negative impact of power on justice perceptions, failing to recognize that power can both hinder and promote fairness. The commentary advocates for a more nuanced understanding and calls for diverse, longitudinal research to better capture these dynamics
Structural holes and firm innovation in industrial clusters: A dual embeddedness perspective
No full textInternational audienceWhile geography-related factors are critical to determining the functioning of networks, prior studies have overlooked how they may shape the impact of structural holes on firm innovation. Building on structural hole theory and the industrial cluster literature, we propose that structural holes negatively influence firm innovation in industrial clusters. Such negative impact can be attributed to broker firms’ social and political embeddedness in these clusters, and is thus moderated by social factors (i.e., local information density and intra-cluster partner ratio) and political factors (i.e., local government coordination and political connection importance). Our predictions receive support from a matched sample of on-site survey and secondary data from 221 firms in industrial clusters in China. This study contributes to structural hole theory by incorporating geographic factors and offers important implications for policymakers aiming to promote firm innovation
The Role of Intangible Investment in Predicting Stock Returns: Six Decades of Evidence
No full textInternational audienceUsing an intangible intensity factor that is orthogonal to the Fama–French factors, we compare the role of intangible investment in predicting stock returns over the periods 1963–1992 and 1993–2022. For 1963–1992, intangible investment is weak in predicting stock returns, but for 1993–2022, the predictive power of intangible investment becomes very strong. Intangible investment has a significant impact not only on the MTB ratio (Fama–French high minus low [HML] factor) but also on operating profitability (OP) (Fama–French robust minus weak [RMW] factor) when forecasting stock returns from 1993 to 2022. For intangible asset‐intensive firms, intangible investment is the main predictor of stock returns, rather than MTB ratio and profitability. Our evidence suggests that intangible investment has become an important factor in explaining stock returns over time, independent of other factors such as profitability and MTB ratio
Reflecting on Deborah Simonton’s "Gender in the European Town: Ancien Régime to the Modern"
No full textInternational audienceDeborah Simonton’s Gender in the European Town: Ancien Régime to the Modern (2022) is an ambitious and richly textured anthology that explores the deep intertwining of gender, urban form, and socio‑economic life from the early modern period into the contemporary era. Bringing together sixteen essays, the book examines how gender roles and relations were both shaped by, and constitutive of, the European town. This review reads Simonton’s volume through four thematic threads: urban space and mobility, gendered economies and entrepreneurship, civic identities and emerging masculinities, and ideology and memory, each anchored in relevant theoretical frameworks from gender studies and organization theory. This approach illuminates how the book’s historical depth advances ongoing debates in Gender, Work & Organization Journal and related scholarship
