The Dark Side of Value Co-Creation: The Example of French Commercial Architecture
2018
Innovation is a network activity where different actors collaborate. An ethnographic survey of the French commercial architecture industry highlights the ambivalence of this co-production process. The results identify the sources of co-creation and co-destruction related both to the motivations of the actors and their interactions and examines their consequences. Retailers are encouraged to reposition themselves as project leaders, responsible for both assigning roles and mediating between the creative and technical functions. The development of new communication platforms to overcome interpretive biases between the diverse set of actors is also recommended.
Good, safe and fair: Quality perception and consumer demand of Locally produced beef in Southern Italy
2017
The increasing concern amongst consumers regarding the safety and quality of the beef that they buy is the result of food scares that have characterized the beef market in the last two decades. These scares, together with environmental and ethical concerns, caused consumers to reflect upon the quality of the beef they eat. The aim of this paper is to identify which quality characteristics influence the incidence of local beef consumption on the total consumption of beef. It is assumed in this study that such choice is a response to a process of quality evaluation, which occurs combining specific quality attributes and socially constructed food quality criteria strictly linked to a socially …

Understanding consumer demand for sustainable beef production in rural communities
2015
In the past two decades, due to the series of crises within the agro-food system, such as BSE, dioxin, and foot and mouth disease, consumer demand for sustainable production has considerably grown in European society. Consumers seem to frame food quality in terms of social and environmental aspects of productions, which may be recognized through a certification labelling or through a system of food quality criteria that give rise to conventions of quality. The aim of our study was to understand how food quality and labelling are assessed by rural population in Southern Italy. Local beef production with sustainable voluntary certification was the focus of our empirical strategy. Our decision…
Patrimonio Cultural y Política Educativa del Consejo de Europa: ¿Preservando la identidad y buscando un núcleo central?
2019
This article presents the Council of Europe’s educational policy, indicating its major milestones and characteristics when it comes to issues of cultural heritage.

"Naissance, consécration et disparition (?) d'une convention de la constitution: l'exemple de la réserve parlementaire"
2020
This study illustrates the relevance of the concept of « political law » to understand the constitutional law of the French Fifth Republic. Its purpose is to highlight, through the example of the « réserve parlementaire », the normativity of some facts (the existence of the « réserve parlementaire » preceded its consecration by written law), and the inability of written law to fully seize political practices. The prohibition of the « reserve parlementaire » by written law (in 2017) will be legally effective only as long it is politically accepted.

La face cachée de la co-création de valeur : l’exemple de l’architecture commerciale française
2019
L’innovation requiert une activité en réseau pour laquelle différents acteurs doivent s’associer. La conduite d’une enquête ethnographique au sein de l’architecture commerciale française souligne l’ambivalence du processus de coproduction. L’analyse identifie des sources de co-création et co-destruction, liées aux motivations des acteurs et à leurs interactions, et rend compte de leurs conséquences. Les détaillants sont invités à se (re)positionner comme des chefs de projet, garants de l’assignation des rôles et de l’arbitrage entre les fonctions créatives et techniques. Le développement de nouvelles plateformes de communication, susceptibles de pallier les biais d’interprétation entre acte…
Dynamics in stochastic evolutionary models
2014
First published: 01 February 2016 We characterize transitions between stochastically stable states and relative ergodic probabilities in the theory of the evolution of conventions. We give an application to the fall of hegemonies in the evolutionary theory of institutions and conflict, and illustrate the theory with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the rise of communism in China. We are especially indebted to Juan Block for his many comments and suggestions. We would also like to thank Drew Fudenberg, Kevin Hasker, Matt Jackson, Peyton Young, and five anonymous referees. We are grateful to NSF Grant SES-08-51315 and to the MIUR PRIN 20103S5RN3 for financial support.
