Elaboration of a system of control of the industrial espionage by the management control function
No full textPlusieurs problèmes accablent les organisations, mais l’espionnage industriel occupe de plus en plus une place grandissante. Ses conséquences sont catastrophiques, allant des pertes de sommes colossales à la faillite de certaines entreprises. Ce travail de recherche, s’inscrivant dans le champ disciplinaire des Sciences de Gestion, particulièrement du contrôle de gestion, a pour finalité d’appréhender le processus de contrôle de l’espionnage industriel dans les organisations, en élaborant un système de contrôle de l’espionnage industriel par la fonction contrôle de gestion. Après une revue de littérature et une première vague d’entretiens semi-directifs, qui ont montré les limites des protections juridiques et les vides de gestion des protections techniques contre l’espionnage industriel, nous avons construit un modèle théorique du processus de contrôle de l’espionnage industriel par la fonction contrôle de gestion, qui met en interaction les figures imposées / libres, les leviers de contrôle diagnostic / interactif et leurs outils, et les six dimensions d’analyse réajustées. Ensuite, nous avons élaboré un système de contrôle de l’espionnage industriel, en déterminant ses outils et en spécifiant son instrumentation dans les organisations. Une deuxième vague d’entretiens semi-directifs a été effectuée pour justifier la pertinence dudit système auprès des spécialistes professionnels et universitaires du contrôle de gestion.Several problems overwhelm organizations, but industrial espionage is becoming more and more important. Its consequences are catastrophic, ranging from the loss of colossal sums to the bankruptcy of certain companies. This research work, which is part of the disciplinary field of Management Sciences, particularly management control, aims to understand the process of controlling industrial espionage in organizations by developing a control system of industrial espionage by the management control function. After a literature review and a first wave of semi-directive interviews, which showed the limits of legal protections and management gaps of technical protections against industrial espionage, we constructed a theoretical model of the control process of industrial espionage by the management control function, which puts into interaction the imposed / free figures, the diagnostic / interactive control levers and their tools, and the six readjusted analysis dimensions. Then we developed a system of control of the industrial espionage by determining its tools and specifying its instrumentation in organizations. A second wave of semi-directive interviews was conducted to justify the relevance of this system with professional and academic management control specialists
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Définition d'un modèle théorique de gestion du risque d'espionnage par la fonction contrôle de gestion
No full textInternational audienceThe management of industrial espionage by the management control function consists in determining the tools identifying the critical performance variables (diagnosis side) and in determining the tools apprehending the strategic uncertainties related to industrial espionage (interactive side), it may be proposed to readjust certain classic tools of management control, and in particular its four fundamental tools. After the readjustments of these tools - the addition of a tool for calculating the costs of industrial espionage (hidden cost estimation methods) and the determination of some tools of the interactive control lever - we analyze them through the six readjusted dimensions of Chiapello in order to expose on an operational level its use in the organization.La gestion de l’espionnage industriel par la fonction contrôle de gestion consiste à déterminer les outils cernant les variables critiques de performance (côté diagnostic) et à déterminer les outils appréhendant les incertitudes stratégiques liées à l’espionnage industriel (côté interactif). Nous proposons de réajuster certains outils classiques du contrôle de gestion, et notamment ses quatre outils fondamentaux. Après les réajustements desdits outils - l’ajout d’un outil de calcul des coûts de l’espionnage industriel (méthodes d’évaluation des coûts cachés) et la détermination de quelques outils du levier de contrôle interactif - nous les analysons à travers les six dimensions réajustées de Chiapello dans l’objectif d’exposer son utilisation dans l’organisation sur un plan opérationnel

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
