Since the year 2000, Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School promotes a spirit of enterprising research, facilitates research based teaching and fosters the valorisation of research for practice and teaching. According to his mission, the central role given to research in development strategy resulted in a continuous improvement of the academic level of the faculty, internationalization of research activities, and quantitative & qualitative progress of scientific production. Following the EPAS accreditation for its Master program in 2009, Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School obtains in April 2011 the AACSB accreditation which rewards the academic quality of all its programs (Master Grande Ecole - ESC Montpellier, Bachelor EIM, MBA) and activities. After a decade of continuous improvement illustrated by a constant increase in terms of numbers and quality of peer reviewed journal publication activity, Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School achieves today a strong international visibility. Reassessing his positioning, Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School evolves his research focus on specializing in the theme of Managerial Innovation. Convinced that value creation and performance become more and more related to innovative and entrepreneurial behaviour of leaders and managers in organizations, researching Managerial Innovation is an answer to the question on how to evolve management practices. Managerial Innovation is defined as the ‘introduction in an organization of new management practices and methods aiming to increase his overall performance’. This is precisely the reason why Managerial Innovation will be for our business school the core issue in educating future generations of managers able to introduce this spirit of innovation in organization. This new positioning is rather a refinement of our pas research activities than a complete revolution. Replacing the two former research fields (entrepreneurship and innovation), Managerial Innovation will serve as a sort of meta theme which encloses the prior research activities of our research faculty. Managerial Innovation is to become the matrix of research for the Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School Managerial Innovation Lab. Dr. Didier Jourdan, Dean of Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School 1 Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School – Research report 2010 Introduction The year 2010 marks the end of a development cycle leading to national and international visibility of its research outcomes regarding two themes, entrepreneurship and innovation. Two international accreditations rewarded the quality of its research as a cornerstone of academic excellence in a business school. Achievement of the faculty over the past years is demonstrated by publications in top ranked journals, paper presentations in internationally recognized conferences, organization of conferences and workshops of European scope, and numerous awards of excellence. Today, Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School has earned international recognition as illustrated by the increase in terms of total numbers and quality of peer reviewed journal publications. Considering intellectual contributions as a core responsibility of a business school, a total of 376 publications (219 peer reviewed journal articles, 34 books, and 123 book chapters) were produced since 2004. The 2010 annual report confirms in particular recent efforts to increase the international impact of research. Today 64% of the articles are published in international peer reviewed journals. In 2011, a new cycle will start streamlined by two main events. First, the research centre becomes a member of Montpellier Research in Management, a scientific unit of university and Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School researchers certified by the French accreditation body AERES. Second, both research fields will fusion into an interdisciplinary central theme which will federate the future research at Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School: Managerial Innovation. This annual report presents the research activity and the main achievements of the Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School faculty in 2010. Dr. Frank Lasch, Dean of Research 1 Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School – Research report 2010 1. Research at Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School: governance body 1.1 Management of the Research Centre Headed by the Dean of Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School, the governance of research consists in a Scientific Committee (Conseil scientifique), two external research advisors (university full professors), the Dean of research and four head of departments (Figure 1). The Scientific Committee is chaired by a university professor and has 15 permanent members (Table 1). Figure 1: Research at Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School - Governance Directed by Professor Frédéric Le Roy (University of Montpellier I), the Scientific Committee is the strategic advisory board that provides the Dean with policy and orientations. The Scientific Committee consists of colleges representing respectively the university partnership research centres of the Montpellier cluster (ERFI, CR2M, and CREGOR), the administration (Dean, Dean of Research, Dean of Academic Affairs, Heads of departments, and Research Advisors), the faculty, and the director of the University Montpellier I PhD Committee (Table 1).

The Research Centre 2.1 Introduction Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School provides support to faculty through its Research Centre. Founded in 2003, its core mission is to enhance research by giving purpose and structure to the research activity of the faculty. It leads, organizes, coordinates and develops the scientific activities. The Research Centre is managed by the Dean of Research following the strategic research orientations decided by the Administrative Board and the Scientific Committee. Research at the business school combines research and practice to foster research outcomes for stakeholders and practitioners (students, managers, entrepreneurs, bankers, governments, etc.). Research themes span over the four departments and cover all the relevant disciplines in management (Strategy, Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Human Resources, Information Systems, etc.). 2.2 Main research fields: from Entrepreneurship and Innovation to Managerial Innovation Research at Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School is declined into two research fields: Entrepreneurship & Market Dynamics (head of research field: Dr. Călin Gurău) and Innovation and Organizational Dynamics (head of research field: Dr. Nassim Belbaly). Both research fields reflect the focus toward faculty expertise, as well as the business reality and needs at the regional, national, European and international level. Over the past years, research has more and more integrated perspectives that meet current business needs responding to managerial innovation topics. From 2011 on, entrepreneurship and innovation will fusion into on interdisciplinary central theme entitled Managerial Innovation which will federate future research at Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School. 2.2.1 Entrepreneurship and Market Dynamics Focused on the relationship between the firm and its economical environment, this area covers disciplines like entrepreneurship, marketing, strategy and market finance. Entrepreneurship: This area of research is focusing on the different topics related to small firms, and particularly the strategy and the factors that determine their emergence, survival and development. Research includes the different dimensions outlined by entrepreneurship research: the entrepreneur, the organization and the environment. Entrepreneurship research uses a variety of levels of analysis, and methods (qualitative and quantitative). Small firms, knowledge-intensive industries, emerging sectors (biotechnology, information and communication systems, etc.) are given special attention. Other topics of research are interfirm cooperation, collective strategies & strategic alliances, proximity effects, entrepreneurship and the region, entrepreneurship support, etc. Research includes also comparative analyses related to the theme of International entrepreneurship. Market Dynamics: This area focused on market dynamics observes in particular market strategies of small sized organizations, giving special attention to high-technology sectors (biotechnology, knowledge-based industries). The market strategy is linked up with different research subjects: information systems management, information and knowledge management, the company’s visibility on the internet and the ebusiness strategy, the company’s position regarding value creation, etc. The international and global dimension of their activities is a very important aspect of high technology companies. The SMEs should take into consideration and capitalize on the opportunities offered by the Central and East European economies in transition and the developing Asian and South American countries. 2.2.2 Innovation and Organizational Dynamics Focused on structural issues and the functioning of organizations, this research field concentrates on information technologies, organizational systems, human resources, audit and controlling. Information Systems Management: This area of research links up its subjects by combining: strategy, technologies and organization. Media such as Internet technologies, integrated systems, CAD, etc. are the basic research subjects on themes such as: management of IT implementation, appropriateness and efficiency of information systems, knowledge management, norms and standards aiming the systems’ interoperability, new forms of organization and organizational change. Organizational Dynamics: Research in this area is related to the governance issues, financing and controlling. Research focuses on comparative analysis between the norms and the companies’ accounting 3 Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School – Research report 2010 practice. The main subjects are: accounting and comparative audit practice, accounting harmonization, the determining factors of a company’s accounting choices, the international accounting norms, etc. 2.3 Members of the Research Centre In 2010, the Research Centre is composed of 33 permanent professors, five adjunct professors and 12 research assistants (Table 2 & Appendix 1, Research Faculty at Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School). Five professors are habilitated to supervise doctoral research (post-doctoral degree HDR, Habilitation à diriger les recherches). Currently eleven foreign professors are part of the faculty (33,3%).

Three cooperative agreements were signed in the past (2003: ERFI, Equipe de Recherche sur la Firme et l’Industrie; 2007: CR2M, Centre de Recherche sur le Management et les Marchés. Both affiliated to University of Montpellier I; 2009: CREGOR, Centre de Recherche en Gestion des Organisations, affiliated to University of Montpellier II). The business school and its partners organize together scientific events, create synergies (co-direction of PhD, co-publication of research papers, etc.) and put in common resources. In September 2009, the research faculty of Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School posted together with the three partnership research centres a common project responding to the future fusion of the three existing universities in Montpellier into a single research university (University Montpellier Sud de France, UMSF). This project of joining the forces in management research in Montpellier was positively evaluated by the State Agency of Research and Teaching Evaluation (Aeres) on January 15, 2010. The Aeres habilitation accredited the project to form a joint research unit entitled ‘Montpellier Research in Management, MRM’ (‘Equipe d’accueil’ EA 4557; www.mrm-umsf.fr). 5 Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School – Research report 2010 3. Intellectual contributions (discipline based scholarship) 3.1 Journal ranking The Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School journal ranking is a strategic guidance for the research faculty (Appendix 2, Journal ranking). It takes into account the most important current rankings of nationally and internationally renowned institutions, universities and business schools (Association of Business Schools Academic Journal Quality Guide, ABS; Association of Professors of Management in German speaking countries, VHB; French CNRS journal list; Hartzing Journal Quality List; Katz entrepreneurship journal ranking; Social Science Impact Factor, etc.). The ranking is divided into three categories according to the reputation and the quality of each journal: internationally top ranked journals (A), high quality national or international journal (B), and other nationally or internationally renowned peer reviewed journals (C). Publications in journals outside the ranking are marked in this report as “D-journals”. The journal list includes 242 journals (41 A, 83 B and 117 C journals). Similar to the journal ranking, the business school established a conference list (Appendix 3, Conference list). 3.2 Synthesis of contributions This report covers publications accepted between January and December 2010, listing the following discipline-based intellectual contributions: peer reviewed journal articles (PRJ), books, book chapters, editorials, book reviews, cases, and conference papers (Table 4). 2010: Maintaining the volume and quality of PRJ publications While the scientific production remains relatively stable in total numbers, we observe a continuing trend of increasing quality (part of international and high ranked PRJ articles). For the category peer reviewed journals (PRJ) the main indicators of progress are… - A stable number of top journal publications: One paper in A ranked and four in B international journals, - A relative stability in terms of numbers of articles (39 compared to 44 in 2009 and 43 in 2008), - An increasing international impact of research: 64,1% of all papers are published in international PRJ.

How to find answers within your company. MIT Sloan Management Review, 52(2): 65-75. Los Angeles-based AECOM Technology had a problem. An AECOM plant in Argentina had made a successful move into biofuels processing and was producing sugar dust as a byproduct of its bio-fuels production. The problem: Airborne sugar dust can be explosive and AECOM was concerned about the possibility of having fireballs near its fuel processing. A team of AECOM employees based in London had several ideas, but after weeks of back and forth, a solution finally emerged via an internal company bulletin board from an AECOM engineer in Australia. The type of challenge AECOM faced - locating internal knowledge on a specialized topic - exists in any large organization. The larger and more segmented the company, the harder it is to match its people to its problems. One answer is an internal knowledge market. In broad terms, internal knowledge markets are protected environments where users trade their knowledge via price mechanisms.

Virtual team performance in highly competitive environment. Group & Organization Management, 36(2): 161-190. In this article, we empirically validate a version of the input-mediator-output-input (IMOI) model (Ilgen, Hollenbeck, Johnson, & Jundt, 2005), adapting it to investigate virtual team performance in a highly competitive environment. Our hypotheses are tested using structural equation modelling across time periods with data obtained from 606 professional online gaming teams belonging to the European Electronic Sports League. The findings validate the hypothesized IMOI model, and demonstrate the effects of anticipated emotions on shared motivation of team members. The results contribute to theory and have significant implications for the management of geographically distributed work groups.

Understanding developers’ motives in open source projects: a multi-theoretical framework. Communications of the Association of Information Systems, 27(1). The question of why so many developers dedicate time and effort into contributing to Open Source Projects (OSP) is one of the most intriguing questions in OS research. Several preliminary studies have theorized about and empirically examined this challenging question. They suggest a variety of reasons to explain this phenomenon but mostly rely on self-determination theory, with its extrinsic-intrinsic dichotomy, to explain the heterogeneous and complex nature of motivation in OSS. This article provides an alternative, theory-driven approach, whereby three different, yet complementary, theories of motivation are combined, to explain the participation and outcomes of developers in OSP. More specifically, our multi-theoretical framework is based on social exchange theory, goal-orientation, and expectancy theory. An empirical test of the model is provided within the context of SourceForge.net. The results offer new theoretical and practical insights into developers’ motivation and how it affects their participation and outcomes.

The website as an integrated marketing tool: an exploratory study of French wine producers. Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, 24(1): 17-30. Structural changes in global wine markets have created new challenges and opportunities for small wine producers. Forced to adopt an innovative marketing approach which offers enhanced consumer experience and value, many producers have implemented a combination of direct distribution, relationship marketing and wine tourism in order to develop a positive brand reputation and to become quality niche leaders. The development of the Internet has provided a unique possibility to combine and integrate these entrepreneurial marketing techniques in a complex value proposition. Using this framework of analysis, the study attempts to identify and discuss the features used in the websites of the French wine producers from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in order to improve the efficiency of combined marketing techniques. Based on the primary data collected through a survey of 102 websites, the paper analyses the online marketing approach adopted by the small French wine producers, and proposes a synthetic model of value co-creation which integrates the complex interaction between the producer and the customer in the online environment.

Contrasting contexts for entrepreneurship: Capitalism by Kyrgyz decree compared to gradual transition in Uzbekistan. Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, 24(3): 319-328. Both independent since 1991, the Kyrgyz Republic and Uzbekistan have taken different paths of post-communism reflected by contrasting models of transition. The Kyrgyz Republic, with agriculture contributing half it’s GDP, has an open economy, encouraging foreign collaboration and reflecting the values of its secular society. In contrast, Uzbekistan is home to a religious society, its economy is more industrialized and relatively closed, and less than a third of its GDP comes from agriculture. Our findings show how different transition models reflect different levels of political stability and trigger unlike environments for entrepreneurship and economic evolution.

Dynamique culturelle dans le cas d’une fusion: et si faire évoluer sa culture était possible? Revue Française de Gestion, 36(206): 66-83. Cet article cherche à comprendre, à partir d’une analyse dynamique d’un rapprochement inter-entreprise, comment et pour quelles raisons des managers ont pu faire évoluer la culture de leur organisation dans le cadre d’une opération de rapprochement. L’étude qualitative, de nature exploratoire conduite en temps réel sur un cas unique de rapprochement inter-organisationnel entre deux sociétés (Médiamétrie et eStat), nous révèle que le changement réel et profond d’une culture n’est possible, dès lors que l’évolution du marché tend à remettre en cause le paradigme stratégique des entreprises, c’est-à-dire, leurs légitimités institutionnelle et économique et par voie de conséquence, leur survie à moyen/long terme.

Valuing knowledge-based-initiatives: what we know and what we don’t know. International Journal of Knowledge Management, 7(1): 1-15. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of theory and practice on valuing KnowledgeBased Initiatives (KBI). Drawing on the literature concerning IT and business value, this paper summarizes what is known about valuing IT-based initiatives, discusses the specificity of KBI and outline main challenges that continue to limit research in this area. This paper also examines how managers deal with these challenges and what metrics they use to assess knowledge value. These managerial insights are derived from interviews as well as empirical analysis of several Silicon Valley firms. This paper gives an emerging approach for valuing KBI and illustrates its implementation with a case study from IBM.

The mandatory adoption of IFRS on intangibles: Upheaval or inertia? The case of France. International Journal of Accounting Auditing & Performance Evaluation. This paper examines the effects of mandatory adoption of IFRS on intangibles in the French environment where firms were unable to develop ‘experience of international standards’ before they became mandatory from January 1, 2005. The question we try to answer is the following: will the change of accounting standards concerning the intangibles lead to the upheaval announced in the French accounts or will it rather introduce a phenomenon of inertia on behalf of the firms trying to modify their financial statements at a minimal level? An innovative divisive hierarchical clustering method for firms was applied: the DIV method. The results indicate three clusters of firms, each affected differently by the transition. Only one cluster displays a significant change whereas the others are unaffected by the transition. The inertia phenomenon described by Nobes (2006), arguing that pre-IFRS accounting treatments could survive under IFRS, is thus confirmed.

Revue Française de Gestion, 36(207): 85-92. The controversy over the intangibles in the company is present in the accounting debate for several decades. Work on this topic tends to focus on accounting issues, but also managerial financial intangible capital. They therefore allow a meeting in the multidisciplinary field of financial accounting. La controverse sur les éléments immatériels dans l’entreprise est présente dans le débat comptable depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années. Les travaux sur ce thème portent généralement sur les aspects comptables, managériaux mais aussi financiers du capital immatériel. Ils permettent donc une rencontre pluridisciplinaire dans le domaine de la comptabilité financière (actifs incorporels et comptabilité), du contrôle de gestion (capital intellectuel et pilotage de l’entreprise) et de la finance d’entreprise (immatériel et évaluation financière de l’entreprise). L’objectif de ce dossier est de rendre compte 27 Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School – Research report 2010 des différents aspects du capital immatériel, celui-ci étant utilisé comme un terme englobant. Nous explicitons tout d’abord les différents termes retenus par la littérature comptable, certains termes semblant être parfois utilisés de manière indifférenciée. Ces éléments clarifiés, nous illustrons l’évolution de la recherche comptable sur le capital immatériel à travers l’analyse, depuis leur création, des thèmes traités par sept revues comptables majeures en utilisant les outils de la scientométrie. Nous observons qu’il est possible de recenser des thèmes spécifiques qui dominent à certaines périodes. Enfin, nous présentons l’état actuel de la recherche sur le capital immatériel à travers six articles représentatifs.

L’adoption des normes IFRS relatives aux incorporels: bouleversement des pratiques ou inertie? Revue Française de Gestion, 36(207): 93-110. This paper examines the mandatory adoption of IFRS on intangibles in the French environment. A typology of intangiblerelated accounting practices in the period of transition to IFRS is developed. The results indicate three clusters of firms, each affected differently by the transition. The first cluster displays a significant change, with a considerable increase in goodwill as a result of reclassification of other intangible assets such as market shares. The second and the third cluster show stability. The inertia phenomenon described by Nobes (2006), arguing that pre-IFRS accounting treatments could survive under IFRS, is thus confirmed. Cet article examine l’adoption obligatoire en France des normes IFRS relatives aux incorporels. Une typologie des pratiques comptables liées aux incorporels à la période de transition aux normes IFRS est recherchée. Les résultats font ressortir trois classes d’entreprises affectées différemment par le passage aux normes internationales. La première classe est caractérisée par un changement important avec une forte augmentation du goodwill liée au retraitement d’immobilisations incorporelles comme les parts de marché. Les deuxième et troisième classes se caractérisent par une stabilité. Le phénomène d’inertie (Nobes, 2006) selon lequel les traitements comptables pré-IFRS pourraient perdurer sous normes IFRS est vérifié.

Internetization as the necessary condition for internationalization in the newly emerging country. Journal of International Entrepreneurship, 8(4): 319-342. The internationalization of entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly facilitated through the use of the internet. This article introduces the term 'internetization' to refer to the process of increasing adoption, diffusion, and deployment of internet-based technologies and processes that increasingly serve as the back bone of internationalization, especially in the innovative entrepreneurial firms. This process may be compared to the firm's adoption and use of the internet and the internet-based processes in transforming the firm to a hybrid network internally and externally within the firm's home and international markets, especially when the members of its external network have already internationalized. Internationalization of the firm, which has been much studied in the international business literature, may provide a parallel analogy for study of internetization. Based on these analogies and within the context of previous literature in internationalization, a brief examination of a typical rapidly-internationalizing firm through the use of the Internet, and the user-generated provisions of Web 2.0 in particular, points to the impact of internetization on internationalization. Various theoretical and research issues are highlighted and discussed, including the important interactions that exist between the processes of internetization and internationalization. Conclusion suggests that internetization may have become the necessary condition for internationalization. The paper calls upon the IE scholars to respond to the theoretical challenge of integrating internetization processes into internationalization, especially for the smaller, entrepreneurial and innovative firms.

Revue Française de Gestion, 36(204): 155-169. Firms are increasingly adopting strategies of coopetition, i.e. strategies in which they combine the advantages of both competition and cooperation. The drivers that can explain the implementation of these strategies of coopetition are still not well understood. In order to identify those drivers a qualitative study was undertaken within the European space industry. The study focuses on the existence of cooperative space programs carried out by the two leading European competitors, located in Toulouse, Astrium (EADS Group) and Thales Alenia Space (Thales Group). The study of these projects makes it possible to highlight two explanatory factors for the adoption of coopetitive strategies: the will to conquer new markets and the innovative character of the project, where one firm alone does not have the resources to achieve its goals. Les firmes adoptent de plus en plus des stratégies de coopétition qui sont des stratégies dans lesquelles elles combinent simultanément des relations de compétition et de coopération. Les facteurs expliquant la mise en oeuvre de ces stratégies de coopétition restent encore mal connus. Afin de les identifier, une étude qualitative est menée dans l’industrie spatiale européenne. Elle montre l’existence de programmes spatiaux coopératifs menés par les deux leaders européens concurrents localisés à Toulouse: Astrium (groupe EADS) et Thales Alenia Space (groupe Thales). Ces projets permettent de mettre en évidence deux facteurs explicatifs de la stratégie de coopération entre concurrents: la volonté 28 Groupe Sup de Co Montpellier Business School – Research report 2010 de conquête d’un marché et le caractère innovant du projet, quand l’entreprise ne dispose pas seule des ressources pour atteindre ces objectifs.

Stratégies de Développement Durable: combiner les parties prenantes et les ressources et compétences de l’entreprise. Revue Française de Gestion, 36(204): 141-153. L’intégration des principes de développement durable (efficacité économique, respect de l’environnement, équité sociale) au sein de la stratégie d’entreprise est proposée par la mobilisation conjointe de deux champs théoriques: la théorie des ressources et compétences et l’approche des parties prenantes. Là où la théorie des ressources et compétences fait apparaître les forces/faiblesses de l’entreprise dans la prise en compte des principes de développement durable, l’approche des parties prenantes en dresse les opportunités/menaces. Combiner ces deux approches théoriques, fait apparaître un cadre intégrateur du management stratégique dans un contexte de développement durable. Quatre types de stratégies environnementales sont définis, fondés sur les principes de l’approche des parties prenantes et de la théorie des ressources et compétences. Sustainable integration variability (economic efficiency, environmental respect, social equity) is assessed by a theoretical framework combination of the resource-based theory and the stakeholders theory. Where resource-based theory highlights the firm's strengths/weaknesses in the sustainability field, stakeholders theory underlines the sustainability perception as opportunities/threats. The combination of these two theoretical frameworks offers a model of strategic management and sustainability which suggests four environmental strategies: reactive (end of pipe), defensive (pollution prevention), cooperative (eco-design), proactive (sustainability).

Political communication management: The strategy of the two main candidates during the 2007 French presidential elections. Journal of Communication Management, 15(1): 5-22. Purpose - This paper seeks to investigate the communication strategy of the two main candidates in the 2007 French presidential elections, deconstructing the process of communication in its main elements: context, message, media-mix, and communication strategy. Design/methodology/approach - Secondary data were collected from a variety of secondary sources, such as texts, articles, statistics and interviews on the subject of the 2007 French presidential elections, published in various journals or web sites, and then re-interpreted from the perspective of two researchers, who were direct participants and observers of these political events. Findings - The findings present an analytical discussion of the central political message used during the presidential campaign, complemented by an analysis of the media-mix and the level of media exposure of the two main candidates. Research limitations/implications - The limited focus of the paper on the communication campaign implemented by the two main candidates in the 2007 French presidential elections does not permit a general evaluation of the political marketing strategy. Practical implications - The conclusions of this study can provide a useful insight for political communication specialists. Originality/value - The main contribution of the paper lies in the presentation and discussion of the main communication methods and tools used in a political system different from the Anglo-American context, which is analyzed in most empirical and theoretical studies on the subject of political marketing.

International Journal of Entrepreneurship & Small Business [Special issue ‘Entrepreneurship and Space], 12(2): 129-138. Entrepreneurship has been a strategic driver in facilitating the adjustment to technological change and supporting competitiveness in terms of place. Only two decades ago the conventional wisdom predicted that globalization would destroy the region as a meaningful unit of economic analysis. Yet the obsession of policy-makers around the globe to ‘create the next Silicon Valley’ revealed the increased importance of geographic proximity and regional agglomerations as well as of the role of SMEs and entrepreneurial activity. This article explains the relation between entrepreneurship and space which emerged after the advent of the information and communication technology revolution and the resulting wave of globalization. But the study of strategic management of regions still needs to address a number of methodological issues. Contrasting results and methodological issues affect entrepreneurship research in this field, many questions by economic actors are unanswered and the valorization of results for practice remains complex. The 2008 RENT XXII conference held at the University of Beira Interior in Covilha, Portugal, invited international scholars to discuss on the topic of ‘Entrepreneurship as an engine of regional development’. This article opens a special issue based on the best papers presented at the conference, resumes the state of the field and opens directions for future research.

The evolution of the governance model in instances of highly innovative strategic mergers. Corporate Governance: An International Review, 11(3): 256-273. This study focuses on two unlisted SMEs within the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) sector, where joint innovation plays a key role. The aim of this paper is to understand how corporate governance evolves when the objectives of the merger involve strategic innovation between two specific companies. In order to do this, we studied the corporate governance decisions made during a strategic alliance between a small enterprise (called eStat) and a medium-sized enterprise (called Médiamétrie), formed with a view to building a strategic partnership based on technological innovation. The method chosen to carry out this research involved a single case study based on passive observation (153 days of observation), participant observation, the conducting of 70 semi-structured interviews and the analysis of internal documents such as the memorandum of understanding. From a critical reading of the "standard" (disciplinary/shareholder, relating to process profitability issues in particular) and the "strategic" (the importance of human capital, relating to innovation issues in particular) approaches, we demonstrate how the managers of the newlycreated company (Médiamétrie-eStat) gradually opted for a renewed, resource-based corporate governance model. Contrary to what underlies existing literature addressing corporate governance, this paper shows the need to consider the dynamics involved in the adoption of the corporate governance model when a merger deals with strategic innovation issues.

Investigating the intention to quit of the permanent staff in social enterprises. European Management Journal, 28(6): 441-454. Despite their social mission, social enterprises work in the global economic environment and therefore have to comply with performance objectives. This situation means that human resources management strategy has a crucial role to play. More particularly, the challenge in maintaining competitive efficiency standards depends on achieving a low level of permanent staff turnover. This paper aims to study the role of distributive justice, leader–member exchange, job satisfaction and organizational commitment regarding the intention to quit in social enterprises. Data were collected in France from 101 permanent employees in 27 work integration social enterprises. The partial least square structural equation modeling technique was used to assess the model hypothesized in the study. Whereas the results confirm most of the model paths, distributive justice was not linked to both organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Finally, managerial implications in the field of human resource management are derived in order to achieve a lower turnover level of social enterprises permanent staff.

Les entrepreneurs dans les technologies de l’information et de la communication: proposition d’une typologie. Revue Internationale PME, 23(1): 64-90. Malgré la forte croissance du secteur des TIC, les recherches concernant ses spécificités entrepreneuriales sont peu nombreuses. Or, les entrepreneurs ne constituent pas une entité homogène et il est nécessaire d’identifier des typologies pour montrer leurs différentes caractéristiques. Nous cherchons donc à déterminer si les entrepreneurs TIC sont similaires à ceux des autres secteurs et si ces derniers possèdent des profils différenciés. Un échantillon composé de 469 entreprises nous a permis d’identifier quatre profils d’entrepreneurs TIC dénommés respectivement ‘cadres d’expérience’, ‘jeunes diplômés’, ‘prévoyants’ et ‘risque-tout’. The information and communication technology sector is strategic to stakeholders in most countries, but little research exists focusing specifically on entrepreneurship in this growth industry. In particular, few findings describe the high-tech entrepreneur of this industry despite a claim for more research into specificities of and differences between entrepreneurs (Ucbasaran et al., 2001). This study intends to fill this gap and analyses if ICT entrepreneurs constitute rather a homogeneous entity or a type of entrepreneur displaying multiple facets and differences. To answer this questions, survey data of 469 ICT firms of the ‘first generation’ (1993-2001) were analyzed and four profiles were identified: ‘expert’, ‘freshman’, well prepared ‘provident’, and ‘risque-tout’.

This article aims to study the history of the Paris clandestine gold market from 1941 to 1948 across its creation’s context, its functioning and its evolution. Following the prohibition of gold possession and gold trade in September 1939, clandestine gold transactions began in 1940 and then became a real market from 1941. During almost 8 years, this market functioned so regularly that the price of gold assets (such as 20 francs French coin “napoleon” and English coin “sovereign”) was noted daily. Otherwise, investments in clandestine gold were very profitable, as profitable as stocks and 26 times more profitable than bonds. In return, the investments in gold were the most risky. In February 1948, at the initiative of René Mayer, Minister of Finance from 1947 to 1948, the freedom of gold trade was reestablished in France. Clandestine activities grow weaker and stop completely in the beginning of the 1950’s.

Proposition of a performance measurement tool for analysing and signaling SME’s performance. The Business Review, Cambridge, 16(1): 217-224. Measurement and monitoring of performance practices remain particularly disparate, incomplete and often unsatisfactory within the field of SMEs, due to the insufficiency of their resources and the lack of formal performance management tools. The inadequacy of performance measurement and management systems (PMMS) prevents the owner-manager from producing reliable and accurate financial information and from presenting his situation to various stakeholders, in particular to providers of capital. The objective of this article is therefore to propose a PMMS adapted to SMEs, one that can be used by owner-managers or their consultants to actively manage performance, and also as a tool for communication, negotiation and dialogue with stakeholders. Based on an “enriched DuPont model”, the model presented here focuses on six determinants of value for SME managers. It is decomposed into five successive equations that aim to gradually deepen the understanding of the formation of company performance in connection with the practices and strategic positioning of the firm.

While entrepreneurship takes place around the world, its expression reflects the specific nature of the market in which it takes place. This paper reports the findings of an exploratory study conducted in Bolivia, using ethnographic methods. In this market, much entrepreneurship activity takes place outside the firm-type formal economy. This paper compares the firm-type sector of the formal economy with the Bazaar and the Parallel Economy, which consists of informal, internal or covert economic activities. The findings suggest that in Bolivia, Kirznerian entrepreneurship takes place in the Bazaar, while Cantillonian entrepreneurial activities occur in the Parallel Economy.

Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is visited every summer by 800,000 tourists; our control group is Jonquières, with virtually no visitors. Tourism has transformed Saint- Guilhem-leDésert as this massive activity brings noise and pollution, along with rising house prices, resentment of visitors by locals and a clash between residents and attitudes of disrespectful tourists. While entrepreneurs have arrived to prosper from tourism, local people move away. Whereas the population of Jonquières is constant throughout the year, Saint-Guilhemle-Désert becomes a ghost town in the winter.

Findings – Throughout history, the Aivilingmiut people appear to have been an enterprising community, adapting well to change. Nowadays, however, the absence of business infrastructure may be a significant barrier to the development of small business opportunities in Repulse Bay.

Indigenous entrepreneurship in the Wine Industry: a comparative study of Two Indigenous Approaches. Journal of Aboriginal Economic Development, 7(1): 26-38. This case study compares two indigenous approaches to entrepreneurship within the wine industry: Nk’Mip Cellars (a joint venture between the Osoyoos Indian Band and the Vincor Canada) in British Columbia, Canada and Tohu Wines, in Marlborough, New Zealand. The aim was to identify whether differences exist in the approach to entrepreneurship between two different indigenous groups competing in non-traditional businesses. The result should assist Indigenous populations in their understanding of Indigenous entrepreneurship as well as help guide their people towards greater economic development. Substantial differences between the two chosen Indigenous groups were found in their method of achieving collective entrepreneurship. This study has shown that both the Indigenous New Zealand community and the Indigenous Canadian community can be successful in competing entrepreneurially in something outside their traditional competencies. Furthermore, this study suggests that in order to be successful by competing entrepreneurially in business activities typically considered outside their traditional competencies, Indigenous groups looking to develop their communities economically might want to consider the level of social or psychological acculturation with their nonIndigenous neighbors.

Ce travail est une articulation entre trois concepts de la stratégie abordés jusque-là séparément: la gouvernance, l’innovation et la connaissance. Dans le prolongement des travaux précurseurs de J. Schumpeter, E. Penrose et P. Drucker autour de la question de l’entrepreneuriat et l’innovation, et des récents apports de la knowledge-based view (KBV), le courant de l’innovation basée sur la connaissance (KBI) tente d’expliquer le processus d’innovation à travers l’analyse des caractéristiques et des processus de transformation de la connaissance. Dans cette perspective, la théorie de la gouvernance, s’inspirant principalement des approches contractuelles de la firme, demeure muette sur nombre d’éléments stratégiques (propriétés et processus de la connaissance notamment) qui sont pourtant indispensables pour résoudre l’équation de l’innovation. L’objet ce de papier est d’étendre le champ de la gouvernance au-delà du cadre (purement) transactionnel. Il s’est agi pour nous d’investir des pistes de recherche jusque-là peu (ou pas) explorées en partant du postulat suivant: l’approche de l’innovation basée sur la connaissance (KBI) appelle une approche de la gouvernance basée sur la connaissance (KGA). A travers le prisme de la connaissance, nous avons pu saisir les points de jonction du triptyque gouvernance-innovation-connaissance et déterminer quelques implications stratégiques pour les entreprises innovantes (notamment en termes de choix des modes de gouvernance).

Agricultural Economics, 42(4): 475-486 While many crop insurance systems have been reformed around the world, few academic researches have addressed the determinants of the decision on crop insurance at the farm's micro level. In this article, both the financial and the agricultural literature lead to the identification of many rationales for the crop insurance decision. Using data from the period 2003–2006 on a representative survey of French farms (FADN-RICA), we investigate the different factors that incite farmers to insure against crop risk. We emphasize that the highest risk farms are more likely to have insurance and this decision is positively related to the past amount of claims. Insurance is subscribed by larger farms because insurance appears too expensive for smaller farms, which are indeed naturally less diversified. Interestingly, financial variables (such as capital structure or return on investment) do not significantly determine the insurance decision.

Historical Social Research, 35(3): 389-411. This paper aims to study the return of investment in gold assets quoted at the Paris stock exchange during 54 years, from 1950 to 2003. Contrarily to what is thought about this mythical metal, its risk-return is very inferior to other financial assets (stocks and bonds). While it has a high degree of risk, its return is less than that of the risk-free asset. Moreover for individual investors, investment in gold has given a very low result in real terms. A capital of 100 new francs invested in the gold coin napoleon in December 1949 would have been liquidated for 56 new francs in December 2003. So its real rate of return was -1% per year.
