One of the major challenges confronted by those in charge of technological innovation involves anticipating the value creation model sufficiently early on,in a highly uncertain context both as far as the technology itself is concerned and the potential market. Today, in many industrial sectors,...

L'objectif de ce travail de recherche était de mettre en lumière les conditions de mise en œuvre et les bénéfices attendus de quatre pôles de compétitivité de la région PACA (Solutions communicantes sécurisées ; Mer, sécurité et sûreté, Développement durable ; Fruits et légumes...

This paper analyses the dynamics of disassembly and reassembly unfolding in selected creative industries through the advent of digital technology. It argues that a full understanding of the much-observed organizational or sectoral lock-in effects on the one hand, and the possibilities for...

The aim of the paper is to characterize innovation with user communities and to explore managerial implications for creative industries. Based on four case studies, we explore the interrelations between the firm and user communities. The digitalization and virtualization of interactions change...

This paper compares the capacity of two local innovation systems and territories, Canavese located in Piedmont (Italy) and Provence coalmining region (France), to renew in continuity or by breaking up local knowledge and know-how that had settled their productive success and social cohesion. It...

Faced with strong environmental issues, the agricultural sector has to revise deeply its aims and performance criteria. Numerous methods have been proposed to involve heterogeneous stakeholders in farming system design, and several authors highlight the importance of reflexivity in such...

In this paper we propose to revisit two emblematic projects, Manhattan and Polaris, with the models developed by design theory. In particular we demonstrate, relying on recent advances in design theory, how these major projects, traditionally presented as radical innovations, are in fact quite...

Research states that the success of a specific innovation cannot be predicted. As a consequence, the value of such an innovation can only be stated very late in the development process, or even in retrospect. Our empirical research shows that professionals directly engaged in the design process...
