Uncovering Research Trends: A Textual Analysis of AI Applications in Circular Economy under an Industry 5.0 Paradigm
No full textInternational audienceDespite the recognized potential of AI in promoting CE within I5.0, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding a comprehensive analysis of current research trends and thematic developments at this intersection (Payer et al., 2024). Existing studies often focus on isolated applications of AI in CE or discuss I4.0/5.0 principles without delving into the synergistic effects of their integration. This fragmentation underscores the need for a holistic examination to identify dominant themes, emerging topics, and critical gaps in the research landscape (e.g., Tutore et al. ( 2024)).To address this gap, our study investigates the following research questions: a) What are the dominant research themes at the intersection of AI, CE, and I5.0? b) What emerging topics are gaining traction in this multidisciplinary field? c) What critical gaps exist in the current literature, and how can future research address them?The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), the circular economy (CE), and Industry 5.0 (I5.0) represents a pivotal shift toward sustainable and human-centric industrial practices. AI's capabilities in data analytics and predictive modeling are instrumental in optimizing resource utilization, minimizing waste, and enhancing supply chain resilience, thereby advancing CE objectives (Akinode and Oloruntoba, 2020). Within the I5.0 framework, which emphasizes humancentricity, sustainability, and resilience (Leng et al., 2022), AI facilitates the integration of intelligent systems with human creativity, fostering innovative solutions to complex environmental challenges (Platon et al., 2024).Employing advanced text mining and natural language processing techniques, we analyze the titles, keywords, and abstracts of 422 scholarly articles indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. Our findings reveal key applications of AI that enhance CE practices within the I5.0 paradigm, including supply chain resilience, waste management, and sustainable manufacturing. Notably, the analysis highlights the growing importance of Industry 4.0 and big data analytics as research hotspots, as well as the integration of AI-driven technologies into CE innovations.</div
Crowd and the Gender Gap in Evaluating Entrepreneurship
No full textDoes relying on the crowd mitigate differences in evaluations between male-and femaleled entrepreneurial projects? Drawing on the wisdom of the crowd and the gender stereotype theory, I examine gender differences in crowd evaluations and the role of gender identity in assessing quality using data from an online platform. I find that female-led projects do not receive lower evaluation scores, but female evaluators are more supportive of female founders. However, a gender gap persists across sub-criteria, with male-led projects receiving higher scores on traits associated with masculine stereotypes, while female-led projects garner more support for traits aligned with feminine stereotypes.</div
Exploring the determinants of business sector choice among entrepreneurs with disabilities
No full textInternational audienceOur research aims to advance scientific understanding of entrepreneurship among people with disabilities, with a particular focus on their choice of business sector. This qualitative study, which involves interviewing 20 entrepreneurs with motor or sensory disabilities, addresses this question through two primary objectives. First, it seeks to understand the factors influencing the choice of business sector among entrepreneurs with disabilities. This line of inquiry is essential for effectively fostering entrepreneurship among people with disabilities and supporting sustainable businesses. A deeper understanding might improve the working conditions of entrepreneurs with disabilities and contribute to the success of their ventures. Second, this research is dedicated to raising the visibility of entrepreneurs with disabilities within academic, political, and economic spheres. It aims to enhance awareness among policymakers, scholars, practitioners, and the general public about the capacity of people with disabilities to be entrepreneurs, ultimately fostering broader societal acceptance of people with disabilities, particularly as entrepreneurs, and helping to reduce any professional discrimination that they may encounter. Our main contribution unveils the multi-faceted determinants of business sector choice by entrepreneurs with disabilities, reflecting not just coping mechanisms of necessity entrepreneurship, but deliberate positioning and opportunity seizing within broader economic and social contexts
Entrepreneurial resilience in turbulent times: the role of entrepreneurial orientation and innovation in the Middle East
No full textFNEGE 4, ABS 1International audiencePurpose - This study aims to investigate how entrepreneurial orientation (EO) influences entrepreneurial resilience (ER) in the Middle East. Specifically, it examines the mediating role of innovation and the moderating role of crisis perception (CP) in the relationship between EO traits (risk-taking, autonomy and proactiveness) and ER, offering insights for regional small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) during crises. Design/methodology/approach - This study is based on data collected through structured questionnaires from 1,523 respondents across diverse sectors in the United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon. Covariance-based structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships between EO traits, innovation, crisis perception and entrepreneurial resilience. Findings - The results reveal that EO traits (risk-taking, autonomy and proactiveness) significantly enhance ER. Innovation mediates the EO−ER relationship, strengthening business adaptability, while effective crisis perception moderates this relationship, enabling firms to better leverage EO for resilience during crises. Practical implications - Policymakers and business leaders in the region can use these findings to design programs that promote entrepreneurial activities, foster innovation and support resilience during economic and political crises. Originality/value - This research provides new insights into ER in the Middle East, a region often overlooked in EO and ER studies. The findings contribute to understanding how SMEs in politically and economically unstable environments can enhance their resilience through EO and innovation
University-Industry Collaborations in European regions: the Effect of Business Cycle on diversification
No full textThis paper explores the effect of the business cycle on university-industry collaborations and technological diversification within 218 European regions from 1990 to 2018. I find that university-industry collaborations increase during economic expansions, with the most pronounced effects observed in the exploitation of technologies already known to the region. In contrast, the exploration of new technologies is also positively associated with economic growth, albeit to a lesser extent. The analysis further shows that the effects of R&D investments on university-industry collaborations vary by sector over phases of the business cycle: private sector R&D expenditures are countercyclical, driving collaboration during recessions, while government R&D spending is procyclical, supporting exploratory activities during economic booms
Territoires industriels en milieu urbain: Initiatives pour une transition durable
No full textInternational audienceÀ l’heure de la nécessité conjointe d’à la fois réindustrialiser nos territoires et favoriser une transformation des villes qui combine l’inclusion sociale et la responsabilité environnementale, cet ouvrage propose un regard réflexif sur les villes historiquement industrialisées et en transition, à travers des initiatives menées à Rouen, en Normandie et au-delà. Dans cette optique, s’est tenu le premier séminaire de la Chaire UsinoVerT Usines & Territoires à Rouen le 17 novembre 2023, à partir duquel cet ouvrage a été conçu. Cet ouvrage s’appuie sur deux constats :I. Le premier constat a trait à la nécessaire attention qui doit être portée à la singularité des contextes locaux et à l’importance de l’ancrage territorial, composé des repères historiques, culturels, géographiques, ainsi que de l’imaginaire collectif, c’est-à-dire de l’idée que les gens se font du lieu, du rôle de celui-ci, de sa mission, du sens qu’il doit donner au territoire. C’est par l’attention portée à ce prisme local et à l’échelle humaine que l’on sera capable de mieux saisir la complexité des relations entre les activités industrielles et le milieu urbain. L’idée est de réfléchir sur des initiatives innovantes pour développer des activités qui permettent de renforcer et de (re)dynamiser les liens entre les tissus industriels, environnementaux et sociaux, en pariant sur les acteurs locaux, de manière à s’inscrire dans un monde en réseau. II. Le second constat repose sur l’intérêt d’approches interdisciplinaires et systémiques pour mieux comprendre les chances de succès d’initiatives visant à créer ou recréer du lien usine/territoire et faire de l’usine de demain un rouage intégré, sur tous les plans, dans son environnement : démarches scientifiques sur impacts environnementaux, diagnostics de projets de réhabilitations et de requalifications, intégration sociétale via de nouvelles instances de concertation et de collaboration entre industriels, citoyens et pouvoirs publics.Pour ce faire, cet ouvrage articule les points de vue d’experts, de chercheurs, de porteurs de projets et de retours d’expériences, d’industriels et de citoyens, et plus généralement de parties prenantes impliquées dans cette volonté de redonner aux territoires industriels une place dans la ville de demain, tant sur les plans économiques et environnementaux que dans leur contribution à des territoires plus durables et plus résilients

Ce que le cas des catholiques français révèle du management de la diversité au travail
No full text*Comment sont gérées les populations qui ne dévoilent pas ou que très peu leurs croyances religieuses au travail ? Le cas des catholiques français permet d’établir certaines réponses. Ce n’est pas parce que la foi est silencieuse qu’elle n’a pas d’impact sur les manières de travailler
The Role of Big Data and Predictive Analytics in Developing Resilient Supply Chains: A Resource-based Perspective
No full textInternational audienceSupply chain resilience (SCR) is critical due to global disruptions. This study examines how big data (BD) adoption, resources, and predictive analytics (BDPA) improve SCR. Using data from 183 companies in France and PLS-SEM analysis, the results show that business uncertainty and data-driven strategies drive BD adoption. High-quality BD improves BDPA capabilities, which strengthen SCR. Decision maker intuition also influences the BDPA-SCR relationship. The study provides insights for practitioners to leverage BD and predictive analytics for better decision making and risk mitigation in volatile supply chains.</div
Étude d’un problème de réordonnancement avec contraintes de blocage mixtes à l’aide d’algorithmes évolutifs multi-objectifs
No full textInternational audienceLa croissance rapide du commerce électronique transforme profondément les systèmes de production, en y introduisant une grande incertitude due à la possibilité pour les clients de créer ou d’annuler des commandes instantanément. Le réordonnancement de la production permet de limiter les impacts de ces événements dynamiques qui perturbent les systèmes de production et d’assurer la continuité opérationnelle face aux imprévus. Bien que l’intérêt pour le réordonnancement de la production ait récemment augmenté, peu d’études se concentrent sur une approche intégrant l’optimisation multi-objectifs, en particulier dans des systèmes sou- mis à des contraintes de blocage. Ces contraintes, souvent liées à des limitations de stockage intermédiaire ou à des exigences technologiques spécifiques, empêchent le fonctionnement des machines tant que les processus en aval ne sont pas prêts, ajoutant ainsi une couche de complexité au problème. Pour répondre à ces enjeux, ainsi qu’aux limitations des méthodes a priori, qui optimisent un seul objectif combiné et nécessitent une déclaration préalable des préférences du décideur, nous proposons d’étudier un problème de réordonnancement dans un système de type flowshop avec des contraintes de blocage mixtes, soumis à l’arrivée de nouveaux jobs, en adoptant des méthodes a posteriori. Ces méthodes, fondées sur le concept de front de Pareto, permettent au preneur de décision d’évaluer et de comparer les différents compromis disponibles avant de sélectionner et d’implémenter un nouvel ordonnancement.</p
