Our research is based on Business Model approach (Johnson, Chris-tensen, & Kagermannand, 2008), which recently proved its conceptual efficiency in strate-gic analysis. The survey is based on single case study about a French microfirm which is specialised in local economic news and legal advertisement. The results show that the com-pany has reinvented his business model using IT and change the competition rules in the sector. Second, we highlight the difficulties encountered by the firm to implement IT. This conducts us to think about the double dimension innovation – adaptation of the business model in microfirm context due to the specificity of microfirm market. We also develop a discussion on the management of change.

It discusses the characteristics of hidden communities and the relationship between virtual communities, Distributed Communities of Practice (DCoPs) and VCoPs. It then examines some of the methods that might be used to search for hidden CoPs and the ways by which these might be transformed into full VCoPs. Finally, the article presents some findings from two early studies conducted in the Higher Education Academy Psychology Network in the United Kingdom.

It outlines why teams and virtual teams have become a valuable part of the modern organization and presents ten short case studies that illustrate the range of activities in which virtual teams can be found. Following this, the article examines some of the common problems encountered in virtual team working. It discusses two broad classes of solutions. The first are solutions that are essentially technical in nature (i.e., where changes to or improvements in technology would help to solve or ameliorate the problem); the second are more organizationally based (i.e., where the root of the problem is in people and how they are managed). The article concludes that both the technical and the organizational solutions need to be considered in parallel if an attempt to build an effective virtual team is to be successful.

China now has the highest level of automobile production and sales in the world; thus, the question we address in this article is, can China ‘leapfrog’ to the development of clean and economically viable electric vehicles? The existing literature on leapfrogging is ambiguous and ill defined; we review the literature and identify four generic patterns for leapfrogging. We then present some empirical data on the factors that might influence China’s ability to leapfrog to electric vehicles. We conclude with an evaluation of the likelihood of it actually being able to do so and propose three leapfrogging scenarios that it might follow No publisher kimble 2012-05-11T21:37:05Z Article dans une revue à comité de lecture http://www.cregor.net/membres/bourdon/travaux/referenceinproceedings.2011-02-25.3115295790 This paper explores the role of Information Systems in breakthrough strategies and offers an alternative perspective to that found in most of the literature on this topic, which tends to be dominated by large, high-tech organizations. It presents a longitudinal case study of a comparatively small French based company that creates and manages wedding lists. This study demonstrates that it is possible for an organization to achieve a strategic breakthrough using relatively modest 'off the shelf' Information Technology. It indicates that, firstly, breakthrough strategies are based more upon innovations in business models than innovations in technology and secondly, that breakthrough strategies may actually reduce a company's reliance on high-tech solutions as a means of maintaining their competitive advantage. The nature of breakthrough strategies is discussed and the paper examines how well they fit into Henderson and Venkatraman's model of strategic alignment. The study highlights some areas of similarity, such as the iterative and interactive nature of strategic alignment; it also highlights some the difficulties of representing this particular strategy using this model.

The original concept of a Community of Practice appears to have very little in common with the knowledge sharing communities found in Knowledge Management, which are based on a revised view of 'cultivated' communities. We examine the risks and benefits of cultivating Communities of Practice rather than leaving them 'in the wild'. The paper presents the findings from two years of research in a small microelectronics firm to provide some insights into the wild vs domesticated dichotomy and discusses the implications of attempting to tame Communities of Practice in this way.

Little research has been done on the way individual and group resistance emerges and evolves during prior stages of projects. This focus on pre-implementation phases is important since IS managers need to anticipate potential conflicts and users' resistance that can involve project failure. While IS literature has separately developed theories on resistance and conflicts, we conceptualise a whole theoretic-system we call "IT Conflict-Resistance Theory" (IT-CRT). This theory is used as driver for a two year action research project conducted at Netia Corporation (a worldwide leader in video and audio broadcasting) during preliminary phases of its ERP implementation project. According to our findings, while conflicts toward IT implementation are often considered to have negative effects and require being actively managed by top managers, the case study delivers an alternative observation: a passive-like attitude of managers during the IT pre-implantation phase does not prevent the resolution of a socio-political oriented conflict between two groups of employees. Our observations illustrate how the avoidance management style invites team members to cope with conflict situations and to express tacit causes of resistance. While most MIS methods tend naturally to maximize users' satisfaction and to reduce potential resistance, the IT-CRT theory developed in this article supports an alternative approach: enhancing resistance in order to anticipate and resolve latent conflicts that are directly or indirectly related to the project. The underlying message of this article for researchers and practitioners is to consider users' resistance toward IT as a key process embedded into IT choices and IS design.

Pourtant, Weber publie en 2004 un article dans le MIS Quaterly dans lequel il soulève : « Curieusement, les recherches sur la messagerie électronique sont peu significatives en systèmes d’information ». Il invite alors les chercheurs à publier davantage sur « l’e-mail ». Cet article présente une méta-analyse des travaux de recherche francophones sur la période 2000-2008. Nous étudions l’usage de la messagerie électronique dans les organisations à l’aide d’une analyse statistique des données textuelles. Dans un premier temps, nous expliquons l’originalité de cette démarche et le traitement des données. Dans un deuxième temps, nous présentons les résultats et les profils de classes obtenus par Alceste : quatre classes différentes, correspondant à quatre grands sujets de recherche : « Temps et productivité », « Choix des médias et productivité » ; « Utilisation/satisfaction », « Interface homme/machine ». Enfin, nous discutons des résultats, de la validité et des limites de cette démarche. Ceci ouvre des pistes de réflexions et des voies de recherches futures. No publisher fallery 2010-07-23T17:06:51Z Article dans une revue à comité de lecture http://www.cregor.net/membres/ologeanu/travaux/referencearticlereview.2009-11-17.3567236289 The purpose of this paper is to explore the acceptance and the appropriation  of videoconferencing-mediated training during real training situations in a French company. We compare the acceptance and appropriation by 60 employees of two videoconferencing-mediated training systems : the virtual class (desktop videoconferencing) and the remote class (where learners are gathered together in the same room while the trainer is located at distance). In considering the acceptance of these videoconferencing-mediated training systems, a link was confirmed between perceived usefulness and the intention to use, but no relationship was established between the levels of acceptance and the required effort. The intention to use videoconferencing was associated with the expected benefits and not with the expected effort. Regarding appropriation, learners did not report a perception of technological distance. Moreover, we show that learners and the trainer preferred the virtual class rather than the more classical remote class. Our findings contradict the media richness theory, according to which the remote class, which is the “richer” medium in our research, should have been preferred.     No publisher ologeanu 2009-12-07T15:29:38Z Article dans une revue à comité de lecture http://www.cregor.net/membres/aitdaoud/travaux/referencearticlereview.2011-02-09.0653632312 No publisher aitdaoud 2011-02-21T03:10:11Z Article dans une revue à comité de lecture http://www.cregor.net/membres/bourdon/travaux/referencearticlereview.2010-05-26.1725029045 en ligne sur  CAIRN Général collection 2010 Cet article identifie trois modèles d’évaluation ancrés dans des visions distinctes de la firme respectivement orientées ‘marché’, ‘métier’, ou ‘clan’, et analyse leur traduction dans les supports d’entretien individuels d’appréciation utilisés pour la population d’encadrement établis et mis en œuvre par un échantillon de 40 entreprises.
