Innovation, new market and governance choices of entry : the internet brokerage market case
This paper investigates the case of market entry strategies following the introduction of a disruptive innovation. Recognizing that market entry strategies have been envisioned in the literature as a discrete phenomenon, we develop an empirical framework that portrays these strategies as a capability building process. These organizational modes are integrated into our model : acquisition, alliance, and market transaction. We compare the first two with the third one and we test our model in the setting of the online brokerage industry by using a sample of 897 moves made by 98 firms over a seven-year period (1994 to 2000). We built this dataset by collecting secondary data.By suggesting that the entry into a new industry is not a discrete phenomenon, our research should lead the path to additional research on this topic.innovation; market entry; capabilities; firm's boundaries

Une plate-forme pour le test de cartes hybrides
National audienceNous présentons une méthode ainsi qu'une architecture et les premières briques d'une plate-forme pour le test de cartes hybrides. L'accent est mis sur la modélisation fonctionnelle des cartes et sur les stratégies de test fonctionnel développées pour le test en maintenance. Ces stratégies s'expriment en termes de contraintes et leur mise en œuvre repose sur la programmation logique par contraintes. Pour finir, nous évoquons une étude de cas industrielle, puis l'état d'avancement actuel de la plate-forme et ses évolutions futures sont discutées
Finding happiness through globetrotting: push factors of long-term travellers
This qualitative study explored the perspectives of long-term travellers regarding
their motivational factors (i.e. why long-term travel) and subjective wellbeing (i.e. how
long-term travel enhances happiness). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22
participants using a purposive sample. Interview transcripts were triangulated to external
sources such as participants’ websites and blogs. Data were coded and analyzed in the
NVivo qualitative software program using a mixture of intuitive and methodological
(constant comparison) processes. Findings revealed that old misconceptions (i.e. dated
definitions, best suited for single men, journey as an escape and as a way to achieve fame
and glory) still exist, as well as new insights about what long-term travel is, why people
travel long-term and how long-term travel enhances happiness
Timed Functional Modeling for Mixed-Signal Boards in Maintenance Testing
International audienceIn the context of maintenance testing and diagnosis of faulty boards, a functional FSM (Finite State Machine)- based model for mixed-signal boards has been introduced in a precedent paper. It has been extended for dealing with time sequences aspects. In this paper, the new modeling technique is presented
Validation of a Mixed-Signal Board ATPG Method
International audienceThis paper presents the validation protocol of a mixed-signal board ATPG method. First results confirm the method fitting well with maintenance test, board modeling stage adequacy and test data generation reliability. The essential need for user-defined dedicated test strategies is highlighted in order to ensure meaningful test process and full blackbox test
Validation of a Mixed-Signal Board ATPG Method: The TCB case study
We present the validation protocol of our mixed-signal board ATPG method. First results confirm the method fitting well with maintenance test, board modeling stage adequacy and test data generation reliability. The essential need for user-defined dedicated test strategies is highlighted in order to ensure meaningful test process and full blackbox test
Implementing an Automatic Functional Test Pattern Generation for Mixed-Signal Boards in a Maintenance Context
International audienceIn this paper, we present in the context of mixed-signal board maintenance testing, language and implementation aspects of an automatic functional test pattern generation approach. The goal is to help maintenance test engineers. Our modeling method for mixed-signal boards and their components is presented and the languages proposed for modeling are described. The implementation of our test data generation process based on constraint logic programming is discussed. The application to a simple board is shown and the tool Copernicia developed in the context of our work is presented
Modeling and Generation of Test Patterns for Mixed-Signal Boards: Dealing With Basic Signals
International audienceIn the context of maintenance testing and diagnosis of faulty boards, a functional FSM (Finite State Machine)-based model for mixed-signal board has been introduced. The board is broken down into interconnected functional blocks. Each block has an associated functional model which describes its behavior and a test model which specifies how the block can be efficiently tested. A test model for a block is created by merging its functional model and a chosen test strategy. The board checking consists in testing each block individually using its test model and functional models of other blocks. Test patterns for a component are generated by covering the transitions of its test model and propagation to primary inputs/outputs through functional models of other blocks. The board test data set is built by using the test patterns for all the blocks of the board. The current improvement of the method deals with basic signals
