A practical guide for practitioners seeking to create value with big data
No full textInternational audiencePurpose Practitioners, despite competing in a difficult environment, struggle to understand or implement researchers’ findings that may support the development of sustainable competitive advantage. Following design science research using a gamification framework, the purpose of this study is to develop Game of Streams, a boundary object fostering practitioners’ capabilities to generate IT-dependent strategic initiatives. The Game of Streams method is available following a creative commons license and has two benefits for practitioners. First, it allows practitioners to ideate IT-dependent strategic initiatives with big data fitting their context. Second, it supports the understanding of a taxonomy originating in academic research about big data, precisely Digital Data Streams. Design/methodology/approach Through design science research methodology, the author investigates the research/practice gap. This study created with and for firms Game of Streams, a boundary object using gamification. The author tested this boundary object with different organizations from small- and medium-sized enterprises to multinationals and proved its effectiveness in generating IT-dependent strategic initiatives. Findings Game of Streams is enhancing practitioners’ use of research conclusions from academic literature. This study demonstrates that academic literature can impact practice better than before using boundary objects and gamification. Originality/value The gamification of research to bridge the research/practice gap is an emerging subject in the literature. This study offers an approach that allows practitioners to actively participate while manipulating research concepts in their context to generate IT-dependent strategic initiatives
Social networks and knowledge creation: A relational approach to resources flowing in scientific collaboration networks
No full textIndividual scientists play a key role in innovation and knowledge creation activities that are decisive for knowledge organizations such as universities and knowledge-intensive industries. Following research investigating the collaborations networks that enhance knowledge creation, this doctoral research examines the association between network content and structure, focusing specifically on the effect of the strength of relationships with collaborators and network brokerage. This thesis asks how different network structures enable and facilitate the flow of a variety of resources to support knowledge creation? This question calls first for an empirical consideration of the flow of knowledge in the networks mobilized by scientists, and then for a more holistic approach to the problem that would theorize the flow of knowledge and resources in scientific networks.Chapter 1 considers the advice networks mobilized by scientists to access knowledge and proposes an empirical study applied to a French cluster of R&D engineers in the semiconductor industry. It theorizes the distinction between surface and deep advice seeking. It shows that the effect of geographical brokerage among advice ties on knowledge creation is dependent on the type of advice sought. Chapter 2 pursues the investigations on the flow of knowledge in scientific networks by studying its multidisciplinary aspect. Through a bibliometric study applied to social sciences, it shows that the effect of the strength of relationships and the level of network brokerage depends on the scholar’s knowledge strategy (whether they develop a specialized or multidisciplinary profile). Finally, Chapter 3 informs the resources exchanged by individual scientists by responding to a need for a theorization of the content of scientific collaborations. We extend the conceptualization of what flows in scientific collaboration networks beyond knowledge. considering six types of resources contributing to knowledge creation. This chapter theorizes how relational strength and brokerage facilitates the flow of each type of resource. Overall, this dissertation contributes to the literature on networks and the study of scientific work by demonstrating the effect of knowledge resources flow in collaborations on the creation of knowledge by scientists (chapter 1 and 2) and by extending this approach to any type of resource required for scientific work (chapter 3).Individual scientists play a key role in innovation and knowledge creation activities that are decisive for knowledge organizations such as universities and knowledge-intensive industries.

How Do Observers React to Companies’ Humorous Responses to Online Public Complaints?
No full textInternational audience"The current research examines the way that observing consumers react when companies use humor to address online public complaints on social media. Drawing on, first, a field study using companies’ humorous responses on social media and, second, on two main scenario-based experiments, we use benign violation theory to capture simultaneously the unfavorable effect (i.e., inferred negative motives) and the favorable effect (i.e., humor appreciation) of employing humor in a public complaining context. The results reveal that online observers respond more favorably (in terms of likes, retweets, and purchase intentions) when firms use affiliative humor (e.g., laughing with the complainer) rather than aggressive humor (e.g., laughing at the complainer). Also, affiliative humor and an accommodative recovery (e.g., apologies and compensation) provide equal results in terms of observers’ purchase intentions. Because observers infer more negative motives of companies, affiliative humor compensates over an accommodative recovery by being funnier. Finally, our last study presents a reversal effect depending on brand personality; while sincere brands should always favor affiliative humor, aggressive humor elicits higher purchase intentions when performed by exciting brands. This research gives managerial insights about observers’ reactions to humorous responses to online complaints and the importance for humor to fit with brand personality."<br/
Premières sur le plan social et environnemental, mais mauvaises élèves sur le plan fiscal ?
No full texthttps://www.hbrfrance.fr/organisation/les-entreprises-les-plus-performantes-sur-le-plan-social-et-environnemental-sont-les-moins-responsables-sur-le-plan-fiscal-50186La question mérite d’être posée : existe-t-il une relation entre le niveau de responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) et leur propension à pratiquer l’évitement fiscal ? Les chercheurs Burcin Col et Saurin Patel ont montré que les entreprises qui affichent les notes environnementales, sociales et de gouvernance (ESG) les plus élevées sont celles qui adoptent les politiques d’optimisation fiscale les plus agressives

Governance of asset intensive ecosystems
No full textInternational audienceThis paper analysis the emergence of asset-intensive ecosystems. These ecosystems have been largely overlooked in the literature despite their potential contribution to sustainability transition. The paper presents four inherent characteristics of these ecosystems- supply and demand uncertainty, capital intensive, prone to technological lock-in and geographically anchored. It argues that these characteristics strongly influence how these ecosystems emerge. Using the case of the emergence of a regional ecosystem around hydrogen mobility, this paper shows that processes of ecosystem emergence are influenced by two dimensions: a temporal dimension and a spatial dimension. It also discusses a key dilemma for these emerging ecosystems which is to juggle between path creation and path dependence
