L'innovation durable comme levier de la rentabilité économique
No full textThis study examines the impact of sustainable innovations on the economic profitability of companies in a context where sustainability is becoming a strategic imperative. The main objective is to identify the key determinants of sustainable innovations that positively influence financial performance. The methodology is based on a multiple regression analysis conducted on a sample of 105 companies from various sectors, revealing significant results. The data are drawn from a reliable database and were analyzed using advanced statistical techniques. The results reveal significant relationships between several variables; three variables stand out particularly: engagement in social projects (β=0.366, p<0.05), the proportion of renewable energy used (β=0.464, p<0.01), and investment in sustainable research and development (β=0.259, p<0.05) contribute significantly to improving economic performance. The overall model explains 36% of the variance in profitability, demonstrating substantial predictive power. Our findings empirically confirm that the strategic integration of sustainable practices is not an additional cost but a genuine lever for profitability and competitive advantage, aligning with the theoretical frameworks of the triple bottom line and Porter and Kramer's shared value creation. The study also reveals that companies adopting a holistic approach to sustainability benefit from amplified synergistic effects. This research provides concrete managerial recommendations to optimize the integration of sustainable innovations into corporate strategy, particularly regarding resource allocation and prioritization of green investments. However, we acknowledge the methodological limitations related to the cross-sectional nature of the data and the geographical scope of the sample, which call for complementary longitudinal studies to consolidate these findings.

Paper type : Empirical ResearchCette étude examine l'impact des innovations durables sur la rentabilité économique des entreprises dans un contexte où la durabilité devient un impératif stratégique. L'objectif principal est d'identifier les déterminants clés des innovations durables qui influencent positivement la performance financière. La méthodologie repose sur une analyse de régression multiple menée sur un échantillon de 105 entreprises issues de divers secteurs qui révèle des résultats significatifs. Les données sont issues d'une base de données fiable et ont été analysées à l'aide de techniques statistiques avancées. Les résultats révèlent des relations significatives entre plusieurs variables ; trois variables se distinguent particulièrement : l'engagement dans des projets sociaux (β=0,366, p<0,05), la proportion d'énergie renouvelable utilisée (β=0,464, p<0,01) et l'investissement en recherche et développement durable (β=0,259, p<0,05) contribuent significativement à améliorer la performance économique. Le modèle global explique 36% de la variance de la rentabilité, démontrant un pouvoir prédictif substantiel. Nos résultats confirment empiriquement que l'intégration stratégique des pratiques durables n'est pas un coût supplémentaire, mais un véritable levier de rentabilité et d'avantage concurrentiel, s'inscrivant dans les cadres théoriques du triple bilan et de la création de valeur partagée de Porter et Kramer. L'étude révèle également que les entreprises adoptant une approche holistique de la durabilité bénéficient d'effets synergiques amplifiés. Cette recherche propose des recommandations managériales concrètes pour optimiser l'intégration des innovations durables dans la stratégie d'entreprise, notamment en matière d'allocation des ressources et de priorisation des investissements verts. Toutefois, nous reconnaissons les limites méthodologiques liées à la nature transversale des données et au périmètre géographique de l'échantillon, qui appellent à des études longitudinales complémentaires pour consolider ces conclusions.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
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
