La relation internationalisation-performance : Une revue de la littérature
No full textThis paper aims to review previous research on the relationship between internationalization and performance, and propose avenues for future research. To do so, we conducted a narrative literature review based on 40 articles selected from scientific databases. We identified the theoretical foundations, including portfolio diversification theory, resource-based theory, and transaction costs theory, as well as the general models of the relationship: positive and linear, negative and linear, U-shaped, inverted U-shaped, S-shaped, and inverted S-shaped.
The analyses of this review showed contradictory results. This justified the need to discuss possible frameworks for understanding these findings. Based on this, several avenues for future studies are proposed. We recommend a clarification and empirical understanding of the concepts of internationalization and performance, an extension of studies to qualitative methodological perspectives, and a focus on an evolutionary perspective of the relationship, taking into account organizational learning.
Keywords: Internationalization, performance, narrative literature review, avenues for future research.

Paper Type: Theoretical research.Notre papier a pour objectif de faire un examen des recherches précédentes sur le sens de la relation internationalisation-performance, et de proposer des avenues de recherches futures. Pour ce faire, nous avons procédé par une revue narrative de la littérature. Elle est réalisée à la base de 40 articles sélectionnés à partir des bases de données scientifiques. Ces articles nous ont permis d’identifier d’une part, les fondements théoriques à savoir : la théorie de la diversification du portefeuille, la théorie des ressources, ainsi que la théorie des coûts de transaction. D’autre part, les modèles généraux de la relation : positif et linéaire, négatif et linéaire, de forme U, de forme U inversée, de forme S et de forme S inversée.
Les analyses issues de cette revue ont révélé des résultats contradictoires. Ceci a justifié la nécessité de discuter des repères possibles pour une compréhension de ces résultats. Ainsi, sur cette base, certaines avenues pour les futures recherches sont proposées. Nous préconisons une précision ainsi qu’une compréhension empirique des concepts de l’internationalisation et de la performance, une extension des études vers des perspectives méthodologiques qualitatives, ainsi qu’une orientation vers une perspective évolutive de la relation, en tenant compte de l’apprentissage organisationnel.

Processus d’internationalisation de la PME et processus d’apprentissage : une analyse à la lumière du modèle Uppsala. -Cas de la région Fès-Meknès-
Get PDFCette recherche analyse l’internationalisation en tant que processus d’apprentissage, exprimée en termes de connaissances d’affaires, de connaissance des institutions étrangères et de connaissances d’internationalisation. Elle analyse également l’internationalisation en tant que processus qui respecte le principe de la distance psychique, exprimée en termes de distance liée aux pays et de distance liée aux personnes. Enfin, cette recherche analyse l’internationalisation comme un processus d’apprentissage permettant d’acquérir une expérience internationale essentielle pour réduire la distance psychique.En recourons aux analyses descriptives, les résultats valident partiellement l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’internationalisation est considérée comme un processus d’apprentissage et valident totalement l’hypothèse relative à l’internationalisation et le respect de la distance psychique. Quant aux analyses de corrélation, l’étude montre que l’apprentissage réduit la distance psychique des PME internationales de la région.Ces analyses ont été réalisées en suivant une démarche quantitative et en utilisant le logiciel SPSS. Empiriquement, 54 PME industrielles installées dans la région Fès-Meknès ont été étudiées
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
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
