Sedentary settlers or nomadic opportunists? Diverging rationales in international entrepreneurial mobility
No full textInternational audiencePurpose International Entrepreneurs (IEs) increasingly cross borders to internationalize their activities, yet the various motives driving them into foreign markets are insufficiently understood vis-à-vis the public agencies striving to attract them. Our study proposes a consideration of their interplay by contrasting the various mobility rationales of IEs with those of the investment agencies striving to capture their talent. Design/methodology/approach Empirically, we concentrate on firms selected for funding in the French Tech Ticket, a competitive program designed to incentivize international start-ups to set up business in regional clusters across France. Using a longitudinal qualitative approach, we conducted two separate rounds of semi-structured interviews with IEs, public agency managers, and incubator staff members using thematic analysis of participant narratives on mobility. Findings Our findings point to diverging narratives on mobility, with an overarching opportunity-centrism on the part of the entrepreneurs and a general location-centrism emanating from the regional agencies. These contrasting visions of mobility are not mutually exclusive but rather present along a mobility continuum that generates contrasting logics. Practical implications Implications for policy and practice are provided for the investment agencies crafting policies and committing resources to attract mobile international entrepreneurs. While past IE mobility may correlate with the likelihood of present and future movement, our dual settler-explorer continuum model demonstrates that a binary separation of explorers and settlers is too simplistic: explorers may be subject to settler impulses and settlers can still be drawn to exploration and nomadism. We also provide insights for IEs seeking support in their international development and mobility and the particular advantages a given host economy can offer by identifying an overarching proximity-to-distance rationale for explorers, including the common “host-as-stopover” intermediary rationale. Originality/value We theorize this incommensurability as an expression of the current complexity of international mobility and policymaking, revealing a “next-frontier” expansionism in cross-border movement that requires more deliberate consideration.<br /
An ethnography of technology-enhanced learning : exploring the relation between learners, teachers and a digital artifact
No full textInternational audienceThis study explores the role of digital artifacts in business education through the lens of the ensemble view framework. We investigate D101, an immersive course relying on digital artifacts, implemented in a French business school. Relying on a 14-month ethnographic approach, we analyze how learners navigate the D101 pedagogical environment. Our findings highlight the interactions between learners, teachers, and the digital artifact itself and the corresponding tensions that emerge: while learners value autonomy, they struggle with the lack of teacher presence, the unclear status of the digital artifact in the pedagogical apparatus, and a learning process that blurs traditional teacher roles. By unpacking these experiences, we contribute to the literature on pedagogical frameworks for technology-enhanced learning. Our results emphasize the need to complement teacher interaction and define clear boundaries and roles within the learning process to foster self-regulated learning. This research provides valuable insights for designing future business education programs that leverage the potential of technology-enhanced learning
Cross Sector Partnership Dark Side Effects Game (DSE Game)
No full textMasterCurrent societal challenges such as poverty, inequality, and climate change require solutions that go beyond unilateral actions. One promising approach has been the creation of cross-sector partnerships (CSPs), which bring together resources and expertise of public, private, and civil-society organisations. To promote this idea globally, the United Nations introduced Sustainable Development Goal 17, which stresses the need for collaboration across all sectors of society. However, are we aware of the potential negative effects that CSPs can also produce? The “CSPs Dark Side Effects Game” aims to help participants recognize and understand the harm some CSPs intentionally or unintentionally might cause. This card-based game provides them the possibility to explore the different negative societal effects that CSPs can cause, as well as the mechanisms and antecedents behind them. Developed based on a qualitative meta-analysis synthesizing empirical evidence of 47 cases, the DSE game offers a framework to understand the "what," "how," and "why" of these harmful impacts. By studying these patterns, participants can develop a more critical perspective on how CSPs attempt to address societal challenges, preparing them to think beyond the benefits and consider potential risks as well
Le Rôle des Logiciels de E-Santé dans la Formation des Routines Organisationnelles des Médecins Libéraux
No full textInternational audienceDigital solutions are reshaping healthcare, affecting all aspects, from treatment and diagnosis to organizational aspects, such as scheduling appointments, consultation methods, and pre/post interactions between healthcare providers, patients, and other health partners. This study employs an exploratory, qualitative approach, comprising ten interviews with liberal physicians who use e-health software. Employing the theory of organizational routines, it investigates the adjustment of physicians' routines in response to digital health software. This approach allows an in-depth exploration of technology integration in healthcare routines, providing insights into the evolving landscape of medical practice. The research uncovers varied changes in organizational routines due to health software, showing how digital tools alter medical routines' ostensive and performative dimensions, leading to heterogeneity in practices among physicians. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by applying organizational routine theory in the context of digital health, highlighting the dynamic interplay between technology and medical routine.Les solutions numériques redéfinissent le système de santé, des traitements et des diagnostics aux aspects organisationnels tels que la planification des rendez-vous, les méthodes de consultation et les interactions entre confrères, patients et autres partenaires de santé. Cette étude adopte une approche qualitative exploratoire, comprenant 10 entretiens avec des médecins libéraux utilisant des logiciels de santé électronique. En s'appuyant sur la théorie des routines organisationnelles, elle examine l'ajustement des routines des médecins en réponse aux logiciels de santé numérique. Cette approche permet une exploration approfondie de l'intégration de la technologie dans les routines de soins de santé, offrant des aperçus sur le paysage médical en évolution. Ces recherches révèlent des changements variés dans les routines organisationnelles dues aux logiciels de santé, et montrent comment les outils numériques modifient les dimensions ostensives et performatives des routines médicales, entraînant une hétérogénéité dans les pratiques des médecins. Cette recherche contribue à la littérature existante en appliquant la théorie des routines organisationnelles dans le contexte de la médecine libérale, mettant en évidence l'interaction dynamique entre la technologie et la routine médicale
Artificial intelligence and algorithmic bias? Field tests on social network with teens
No full textFNEGE 2, ABS 3International audienceArtificial intelligence (AI) is a general purpose technology that is used in many sectors. However, automated decision-making powered by AI algorithms can lead to unintended outcomes, especially in the context of online platforms. The lack of transparency related to AI algorithms and their categorization methods make practical insights into effective management of the risks associated to their utilization of crucial importance. We address these issues through two field tests aimed at mitigating biases in online science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education-related ads targeting teenagers. We conducted online ad campaigns involving gender-unspecific, women-specific, and gender-neutral ads targeted at young social network users. Our findings show that inclusion in the ad of a gender-oriented message tends to alleviate algorithmic gender bias but also reduced overall ad visibility. Our research shows also that text length has a significant impact on ad visibility, and that gender-oriented messages influence the display of the ad based on gender

Discourse-Practice Interplay: Uncovering Colonial Fingerprints in Business-NGO Partnerships
No full textInternational audienceBusinesses play an integral role in global development work. However, recent studies highlight the persistent risk of companies adopting Eurocentric approaches in their projects, even when working alongside local stakeholders. While this risk has been identified, it remains unclear why and how such Eurocentric approaches emerge and prevail in often well-intended projects. Through an in-depth case study of a European company’s partnership that aimed at improving water access to an ‘underserved’ community in India, we illustrate how Eurocentric patterns emerged via a complex interplay between discourse and material practices at various project stages. The corporate actors became deeply entrenched in this approach with diverse shields preventing exposure to alternative development views. By grounding these insights into postcolonial and decolonial perspectives as interconnected sociologies, we introduce the concept of colonial fingerprints as an analytical tool to uncover Eurocentric approaches that prevent companies from creating sustainable development impact. We discuss the ethical implications of our work, emphasizing the need to view corporate development efforts in a historical context and to use partnership engagements as opportunities for learning
Value Creation Reflecting CVC Strategic Orientations in Internet Platform Business Ecosystems: The Case of Tencent
No full textInternational audienceThrough establishing ecosystems around core technologies or products and fostering growth through investments in startups, internet platform companies make substantial contributions to the global economy. These investments often involve corporate venture capital (CVC) initiatives that support value creation. Firms must, therefore, account for the objectives of these initiatives, which aim to ensure value creation for business ecosystems, particularly in emerging markets such as China. This study presents a product-platform-ecosystem model derived from a case study of Tencent, a leading Chinese internet platform company. It analyzes seven strategic objectives of Tencent's venture capital activities that directly influence value creation in its business ecosystem. The analysis reveals how the strategic objectives underpinning CVC activities contribute to the value creation of platform ecosystems. The proposed value creation paradigm for internet platform ecosystems provides new insights into this rapidly growing market and offers guidelines for business managers and policymakers
