Pre-requisites of successful strategic electronic coordination : the moderation effect of the ownership mechanism of inter-organisational information…
2017
In this paper, we attempt to explain how the ownership mechanism of an interorganisational information system (IOS) may impact strategic information exchange (electronic coordination) induced by specific investments in the IOS. Recent research and practice show that heavy investments in IOSs demonstrate mixed results with respect to their impact on the electronic coordination. Consequently, the search of additional factors is needed to help and explain under what circumstances the IOS investments for strategic purposes become beneficial for the companies in a buyersupplier dyad. Transaction cost economics (TCE) and the hostage model are used as a framework for the research. 198 observations…
Brokers in the Credit Market: An Examination of the Vertical Scope
2014
This paper analyzes the vertical disintegration of the bank loan origination value chain. The main aim is to identify the relevant drivers which cause the emergence of brokers in the credit market which lead to vertical disintegration of the credit origination value chain. Transaction cost economics is the typical perspective of analysis of the vertical scope of banking value chains. This paper argues that in order to capture the drivers underlying the dynamic evolution of the vertical scope of bank loan origination business models, the above perspectives must be combined and further integrated with a capabilities and resource based view and with a modularity perspective.
The Relevance of Knowledge Types and Learning Pathways in Wine Family Business Succession
2013
Abstract Aspects of family business succession process are many times neglected during the life of the founder or the generation that must be getting ready for the hand-off. The paper is allowing even to a rude observer to understand the importance, the concepts, the typology and the implications of following a specific learning pathway and choosing a particular category of successor (insider or outsider), starting from situations where inside-family succession is preferable. The objective is twofold: (1) to highlight knowledge types that are easier to be transferred to internal successors, and (2) to identify context factors that facilitate family internal succession. We will demonstrate t…
Qualité et coordination économique dans les industries agroalimentaires. Analyse institutionnelle comparée de l'industrie du vin en Bourgogne, Califo…
2004
Since the 1990s, the French wine exporters have been confronted with an increasing competition from a few nations of North America and the Southern Hemisphere. Initially positioned on the medium-range, the New World Wine Producers quickly developed their positions on the whole of the segments, including those traditionally occupied by French wines under controlled label of origin (AOC). The thesis examines the link between wine marketer' quality strategies and the coordination in the chain of production. Research is carried out on two levels: that of transactions governance structures concerning fresh grape, must and bulk wine, and that of the public rules framing these transactions. Firstl…
Gouvernance contractuelle et cognitive des alliances internationales en R&D
2009
Notre objectif est d’expliquer le choix des firmes multinationales entre les alliances avec prise de participation et les alliances sans prise de participation pour investir en R&D à l’étranger. Les déterminants du choix peuvent être contractuels ou cognitifs. Nos résultats montrent que les alliances sans prise de participation sont choisies en cas d’une spécificité des actifs et de fréquence moyennes ou faibles des transactions et au cas où les firmes parentes détiennent des capacités en R&D similaires. Nos résultats montrent aussi que les firmes multinationales n’optent pas nécessairement pour les alliances à fort degré d’interdépendance organisationnelle dans un objectif d’exploration de…
Le choix de la forme organisationnelle en matière d’investissement en R&D à l’étranger par les firmes multinationales:la contribution de la théorie d…
2008
(VF)L’objectif de ce papier est d’évaluer la contribution de la théorie des coûts de transaction à l’explication du choix du mode de gouvernance des activités de R&D à l’étranger par les firmes multinationales. Nous avons identifié principalement trois grandes formes organisationnelles en matière d’investissement en R&D à l’étranger:l’internalisation totale, les alliances en R&D et l’externalisation totale (licences unilatérales). Suite à une étude quantitative par le biais d’un questionnaire diffusé auprès de 769 firmes multinationales, nos principaux résultats montrent que le choix de l’internalisation des activités de R&D est favorisé en cas de fréquence élevée des transactions, le choix…

Networks and health care systems
1996
The network concept has been successful in the economic littérature and in the health care economics littérature. However the network concept is not easy to define. In the first part, this paper suggests a framework for network conceptions analysis :first, network can be conceived as a structure of economic organisation (such as infrastructure networks), or as a coordination mode, alternative and different from market or hierarchy coordination. In the second part, this paper analyses recent mutations in the health care system (such as cooperation relationships between several hospitals and private clinics, networks between hospitals and ambulatory medical care...) from the network concept a…
Impact of supplier-specific investments in inter-organisational information systems on strategic electronic coordination: the moderation effect of bu…
2018
Abstract This paper examines the factors which influence sharing of the strategic information (in other words, electronic coordination) in a buyer–supplier dyad. The antecedents of this coordination are examined rather well in the transaction cost economics (TCE) theory and resource-dependency theory (RDT), while the supply chain management perspective is contemplated. The mentioned frameworks are used in the analysis. However, the research focus is narrowed down to the exploration of the antecedents of information exchange conducted via inter-organisational information systems (IOS). The empirical analysis is based on 198 observations of Norwegian companies operating in different types of …
