Analysing dependencies between documentary fragments for the management of mediated communities of action
No full textThis paper focuses on situations where documents serve to coordinate a distributed Community of Action engaged in a common goal-directed activity. In such contexts, a document appears as a set of fragments contributed by various authors. Furthermore, it is possible to analyse the traces of collective activity left in documents. This analysis may serve several purposes. Among other things, it may be used to understand the evolution of the cognitive and social dynamics of the community. After justifying the choice of the DofA (Documents for Action) conceptual framework, we elaborate a UML-based model of DofA. We use this model as a structure for conceptually representing traces of mediated collective activities. We pursue with the issue of dependency analysis and measurement, which leads us to propose specific dependencies in the context of DofA. We illustrate the early steps of an application to a scenario of collective writing. Finally, we discuss further research directions suggested by our approach, which analyses and measures dependencies from traces of mediated collective activity
CSR firm profiles and innovation: An empirical exploration with survey data
No full textThis paper explores the relationship between different Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies and innovation. Using a survey carried out on CSR behavior of Luxembourg firms, we found two types of firms as far as CSR practices are concerned. Cluster 1 firms adopted CSR practices to achieve economic goals without resorting to the formalization of these practices. In contrast, cluster 2 firms "learn CSR by doing" and by establishing CSR procedures and tools. Then we match Community Innovation Survey (CIS) data and specific data collected on CSR clusters. We estimate Logit models to explain the different types of innovation (product, process, organizational). In comparison with the firms which don't adopt CSR, firms in Cluster 1 are more innovative in terms of product and process once we control for firm characteristics and innovation drivers while firms in cluster 2 tend to reject innovation in process and adopt organizational innovation. These results, which show the link between the various CSR practices and innovation types, have important consequences in terms of managerial recommendations and public policy support for innovation.Corporate Social Responsibility; Innovation; Organizational; Practices; Product; Process
Investigating the role of Corporate Social Responsibility in the adoption of sustainability oriented innovation
No full textInternational audienceThis contribution explores the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the adoption on Sustainability Oriented Innovation. In accordance with previous research that show the effect of CSR depends on which CSR practices are taking into account, we consider different measures of CSR practices To analyse this relationship we adopt an empirical approach based on a survey carried on in Luxembourg in 2008 on firm CSR practices jointly with the Community Innovation Survey carried on in 2012. With a sample of 286 firms and a Heckman procedure, the study underlines the importance to differentiate the type of CSR strategy (strategic vs responsive). Our results show that strategic CSR explain the adoption of Sustainability Oriented Innovation
La mise en oeuvre d'une démarche de Responsabilité Sociale des Entreprises
No full textCette contribution se penche sur la mise en ?uvre de la RSE au sein des entre-prises. Elle s?articule autour de deux parties. La première partie présente les principaux textes sur lesquels les entreprises fondent leurs actions RSE. Nous présenterons en particulier les grandes lignes de la norme ISO 26000 qui a été publiée le 1er novembre 2010. La deuxième partie décrit la mise en ?uvre de la RSE par les entreprises implantées au Luxembourg, à partir de données issues d?une enquête faite par le CEPS/INSTEAD, en collaboration avec IMS Luxembourg, durant le dernier trimestre 2008.Responsabilité Sociale des Entreprises; mise en oeuvre; enquêtes
Internet Use and Social Capital: The Strength of Virtual Ties
No full textThis paper aims to understand how Internet users may improve their social capital by investing in online social activities. We argue that the Internet can be a convenient and efficient means of maintaining existing social ties and/or of creating new ties. We seek to identify the determinants of online investments in social capital and the nature of the interaction with traditional forms of investment in social capital. Using a Luxembourg household survey, the econometric results reveal a significant positive impact of volunteer activities and trust (two measures of social capital) on online investments to maintain social capital, but more ambiguous results are found between online investments and face-to-face contacts with friends. By contrast, online investments to create new ties are poorly related to the Internet users' existing social capital, but depend on the opportunity cost of time.Internet use, social capital, social ties,
Digital transformation of enterprises, innovation and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
No full textLa transformation numérique des entreprises fait évoluer l’organisation du travail et soulève des défis au niveau social et environnemental. Ce constat pousse à analyser l’impact de ces changements sur les salariés et plus largement sur la Responsabilité Sociale des Entreprises (RSE). Premièrement, une analyse empirique des déterminants numériques de la RSE au sein des Entreprises Artisanales (EA) est effectuée. Les résultats soulignent l’influence du numérique dans le déploiement de démarches responsables. Deuxièmement, cette thèse étudie la relation entre une démarche de télétravail (innovation sociale) et l’innovation technologique (produit et procédé). Cette recherche met en avant l’impact positif du télétravail (organisationnel et management) sur l’innovation produit. La dernière recherche analyse l’influence de la gouvernance de l’entreprise sur l’intérêt porté au numérique dans les rapports RSE des entreprises du CAC 40. Cette recherche permet d’illustrer comment et pourquoi les entreprises accordent un intérêt croissant au numérique dans leurs démarches RSE. Cette thèse, au-delà de ses contributions académiques a des implications managériales et de politiques publiques.The digital transformation of companies is changing the organisation of work and raises social and environmental challenges. This observation leads us to analyse the impact of these changes on employees and more broadly on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Firstly, an empirical analysis of the numerical determinants of CSR within Artisanal Enterprises (EA) is carried out. The results underline the influence of numerical factors in the deployment of responsible approaches. Secondly, this thesis studies the relationship between a telecommuting approach (social innovation) and technological innovation (product and process). This research highlights the positive impact of telecommuting (organisational and management) on product innovation. The latest research analyzes the influence of corporate governance on the interest in digital in the CSR reports of CAC 40 companies. This research illustrates how and why companies are paying increasing attention to digital in their CSR approaches. This thesis, beyond its academic contributions, has managerial and public policy implications
Experimenting with ICT-intensive public and private collaboration projects: the canadian experience
No full textThis research examines nine ICT-intensive and innovative projects involving both public and private sectors in the delivery of public services and attempts to identify their main critical success factors (CSFs). Several respondents from both sectors were interviewed. Results show that political leadership, thorough planning and communication stand out as the first necessary conditions to the success of ICT-intensive public and private collaboration projects, assuring projects the legitimacy, the direction and the implication most needed to attain success. When reflecting on some of the major issues confronting ICT-intensive projects, research results point to political, operational and technological issues such as lack of regulatory framework, deficit of technological expertise in public organizations or problems of integration of numerous governmental information systems. Canada's overall experience with ICT-intensive public and private collaboration projects is still at the experimentation stage
