Improving scale adaptation practices in information systems research: Development and validation of a cognitive validity assessment method
No full textInternational audienceScale adaptation, where authors alter the wording of an already published scale, is a deeply rooted social practice in IS research. This paper argues that the time is ripe to question this activity as well as the beliefs that have progressively formed around it. We identify and challenge five fallacious scale adaptation beliefs that hinder the development of more robust measure development norms. Contributing to this area of research, this paper offers a conceptual definition of the cognitive validity concept, defined as the extent to which a scale is free of problematic item characteristics (PICs) that bias the survey response process and subsequent empirical results. Building on this conceptualization effort, a new methodological process for assessing the cognitive validity of adapted IS measures is introduced. Through a series of three programmatic studies, we find converging evidence that the method can benefit the IS field by making the scale adaptation process more robust, transparent, and consistent. Along with the method, we introduce a new index that IS scholars can use to benchmark the cognitive quality of their scales against venerable IS measures. We discuss the implications of our work for IS research (including detailed implementation guidelines) and provide directions for future research on measurement in IS

Developing a sustainable buyer-supplier collaboration: an approach based on Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
No full textInternational audienceThis paper aims to identify the most relevant elements of best practice for successful collaboration between buyers and suppliers over the long term. Many papers have addressed best practices aiming to create value through innovation, co-innovation, and open innovation. Despite the abundance of this useful literature, practitioners are still missing more concrete ideas or help allowing them to take more relevant decisions and ensure more sustainable collaboration. In this paper, we focus on the element level enabling successful best collaborative practice in value-creating collaborations. We develop an approach based on Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory distinguishing motivation and hygiene factors. We use grounded theory relying on a qualitative exploratory methodology to identify the five most relevant motivation factors – including sharing investments, risks, industrial property, and economic results – and hygiene factors – consisting of respecting the partners, engagements, and payment period – depending on the macro context in which the collaboration is built
What is unique about sustainable business models for the base of the pyramid?
No full textInternational audienceAbstract Research on sustainable business models (SBMs) has been hindered by the use of traditional business model (BM) components indiscriminately applied to explain sustainable value (SV). Moreover, little has been done to reveal key components in BMs aiming to address the needs of the poor; that is, that part of the population referred to as the base of the pyramid (BoP). Following a case study methodology, we observe that conventional components are insufficient to clearly explain SV in SBMs for the BoP. The main contribution of this research is that it discloses that in SBMs for the BoP, activities (grouped into elements and components) are distinctively amalgamated to produce SV. This arrangement might be unique to SBMs for the BoP, and here we opt to present it in the form of a framework that articulates both a priori and emergent components and elements. In this framework, value adoption and value transmission are integrated as new components for analyzing this type of BM
China’s Insertion in the International Patent Regime: Shaking the Rules Widens the Development Policy Space
No full textInternational audienceMuch has been written about the effects of China’s rising role in global economic governance, but the consequences for the development policy space have received little attention. This article examines whether China’s mode of insertion in the international patent regime widens the restricted policy space of its developing country partners to shape their national patent system in a way that facilitates technical progress. Results show that China adopts a minimalist interpretation of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement as it incorporates its flexibilities at the bilateral and national levels, thus preserving and potentially widening its partners’ development policy space

Le CSE et ses commissions : reconfigurer les instances représentatives pour rationaliser le dialogue social ?
No full textInternational audienceIn companies with more than 300 employees, the operation of commissions within social and economic committees (CSEs) was significantly disrupted by the labour reforms of September 22, 2017. The reforms led to a change in the organization of discussions between employee representatives and management. This article explores the extent of this change in the operation of employee representation bodies, and shows how, in large companies, union representatives and employee relations managers have appropriated the new legal framework to configure and define the operation of CSE committees. We observe that negotiators seized the opportunity to configure CSE committees, either to maintain existing arrangements and routines despite the change in the legal framework, or to innovate and invent new ways of operating. However, beyond the differences observed between companies, there is a common turn in managerial initiatives: the streamlining of procedures and discussions within the CSE. This raises a series of issues and tensions that are particularly apparent in the case of the health, safety and working conditions committee (CSSCT). Yet, we argue that despite managerial expectations of making social dialogue more fluid, the introduction of CSEs has led to the paradox of a more time-consuming simplification.Le fonctionnement du comité social et économique en commissions constitue, dans les entreprises de plus de 300 salariés, l’un des effets importants des ordonnances du 22 septembre 2017. Elle entraine une modification de l’organisation des discussions entre représentants du personnel et direction. Cet article interroge la portée concrète de cette modification du fonctionnement des instances de représentation du personnel, et rend compte de la façon dont, dans de grandes entreprises, les représentants syndicaux et les responsables des relations sociales se sont approprié le nouveau cadre légal pour configurer et définir le fonctionnement des commissions du CSE. Nous observons que les négociateurs ont effectivement saisi la possibilité de configurer les commissions du CSE, soit pour maintenir l’existant et les routines malgré le changement de cadre légal, soit pour innover et inventer de nouveaux modes de fonctionnement. Mais, par-delà les différences constatées entre entreprises, se dessine un commun horizon vers lequel se sont tournées les initiatives managériales : la simplification des procédures et des discussions au sein du CSE. Cela soulève une série d’enjeux et de tensions qui se manifestent particulièrement dans le cas de la commission santé, sécurité et conditions de travail. Au final, malgré des attentes managériales en termes de « fluidification » du dialogue social, la mise en place des CSE a conduit au paradoxe d’une simplification chronophage
La perception des réformes comptables par les professionnels. Le cas de la transition vietnamienne
No full textInternational audienceLa conduite des transformations des systèmes économiques par les programmes politiques modifie parfois la comptabilité d’entreprise (la réglementation, les objectifs, les principes, les formes comptables). L’application de cette nouvelle comptabilité peut alors produire des résultats divergents, éventuellement en raison d’une diversité des perceptions de la réglementation par les acteurs à qui échoit leur opérationnalisation. Ce phénomène peut être examiné dans le cadre de la transition vietnamienne d’une économie centralisée planifiée vers une économie de marché. Notre étude empirique est constituée d’un matériau rare collecté via une enquête et relatif aux perceptions des professionnels de la comptabilité. Nos résultats indiquent une perception différenciée des dimensions des changements comptables que les caractéristiques socioculturelles des individus peuvent expliquer
