International audience; Food managers face the dilemma of having to increase their product sales products without increasing risk for obesity. Here we posit that a strategy based on repeating front-of-package images of a flavor ingredient can help solve this dilemma. Prior literature reports positive benefits in terms of purchase from displaying one or more front-of-package flavor-giving ingredient images but offers limited insights into the effect of repeating the same flavor-giving ingredient image. Based on four experiments, we found a differential effect of flavor-giving ingredient images repetition on consumption and purchase intention only when cognitive resources were available. The more flavor-giving ingredient images, the lower product consumption (Study 1), but the easier mental flavor imagery, and the stronger purchase intention (Study 2). Specifically, the increase in flavor mental imagery produced by image repetition induces sensory-specific satiety that drives more intention to purchase (Study 3). These findings are of interest for both reducing obesity due to overeating and designing front-of-package imagery.

International audience; There is an emerging consensus that innovation policies must be geared towards solving societal challenges. The policy complexity of the third generation of innovation policy (TGIP), however, puts less-developed European regions at risk of being left behind from this novel policy paradigm due to lower institutional and governance capacities. Building on the concept of a small wins strategy that focuses on small-scale and bottom-up initiatives that are guided by a shared mission to address wicked problems, the article’s methodology uses expert interviews, examples of challenge prizes, and desk research to explore whether inducement prizes can potentially engage less-developed regions (LDRs) in TGIP to address place-based societal challenges through a small wins strategy. The article introduces the concept of a challenge-oriented regional prize (CORP) as a stepping-stone policy tool to engage LDRs in TGIP through a small wins strategy, namely regarding issues of directionality, legitimacy, responsibility, and strategic orientation. CORPs are, however, not a silver bullet policy tool for LDRs to engage in TGIPs due to their design and implementation constraints.

International audience; The concept of Circular Economy (CE) has been receiving a lot of attention over the past years from academics, practitioners and policy makers. This is particularly the case for SMEs who find in CE a way to overcome their resource scarcity. However, little is known about how embracing the CE perspective can contribute to meet the SDGs. The present chapter aims at answering this question. Through a single case study, we explore the drivers, managerial practices and collaborations implemented by SMEs to generate economic, social and environmental values.

International audience; This paper focuses on network development processes in organizations developing internationally. The theoretical framework is based on the network approach and micro-foundations theory, which emphasize the role played by individuals in the dynamics of networks. We constructed a longitudinal case study of a French organization, which aims to develop international opportunities through a network of individuals. The empirical study is based on 121 participant observations, 36 interviews and secondary data. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the interplay between micro- and meso-levels in international network development processes. They enable us to propose the V-wave model, which explains interactions between individuals and organizations in the evolution of networks in a novel way.

International audience; While previous research has studied the effect human resource diversity could have on firm’s internationalization, only few consider the management of this diversity, especially when small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are concerned. Building on the resource-based theory, this paper explores how diversity management influence SMEs’ internationalization by taking into account the heterogeneity of this population. This multiple-case, qualitative study of 14 French SMEs, include four traditional internationalizers, eight early internationalizing firms and two born-again globals. Findings show that management of diversity varies across the different types of internationalizing SMEs, with the exception of EIFs for which the within-type heterogeneity is stronger than the between-types heterogeneity. Therefore, we discuss the specific features of the different types of internationalizing SMEs around the relationship between diversity management and internationalization. On a managerial level, this research reveals that diversity management is a factor to be considered strategically as it can fill the resource gap associated with rapid internationalization. It also shows that diversity management needs to be anchored in some managerial practices to strengthen a firm international expansion.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered autonomous vehicles (AVs) are one of the most highly anticipated technological advancements of our time, with potentially wide-ranging social implications in terms of driver/passenger safety, equity and environmental aspects. However, most consumers feel reluctant towards the adoption of AI-powered AVs. To analyse user acceptance of AI-powered AVs, we need to understand the related psychological, social and cognitive factors. To do so, we established a conceptual model based on the technology acceptance literature and considered how performance and effort expectancy, social recognition, hedonism technology security and privacy concerns influence both technology trust and user well-being as mediators that subsequently influence the behavioural intention of the use of AI-powered AVs. We used user innovativeness as a moderator, and we performed a survey in France. Our results from the structural equation modelling largely support the positive relationship between the behavioural intention to use AI-powered AVs and performance-/effort expectancy, social recognition, well-being, hedonism and technology trust, as well as security. On the other hand, privacy concerns negatively influence technology trust.

Prepared within Work Package 2, this report focuses on housing solutions for refugees and beneficiaries of international protection status in France, delivered under the H2020 project MERGING—Integration for Migrants. The main objectives of this report are to: • Map the actions, scope, actors and resources involved in the access to housing for refugees • Portrait refugees’ needs and households • Provide recommendations to associative, private and public stakeholders Our report describes the actions engaged to favor refugees’ access to housing in two French metropoles: Lyon and Rennes. Our study highlighted the existence of three different types of actions: actions impulsed by the gouvernement (top-down), actions developed by local actors and implemented at the national level (down-up) and actions developed by local actors and implemented at the local level (horizontal). We point the limits of the current system, segregating people based on their perceived desirability and autonomy as well as on their age and gender. Our report describes the multilevel governance existing regarding refugees’ access to housing in Lyon and Rennes. Based on Czischke (2018) multilevel governance model, we map stakeholders based on three dimensions (civil society, public authorities and markets) at both the local, regional and national levels. Six types of actors are identified: professional actors mandated by the government, professional actors operating without official mandate, confessional associations, civil initiatives, professional activists, and other types of actors. Interestingly, our report points the heterogeneity of actions and situations existing on the French soil regarding refugees’ access and participation to housing. While national actors tend to standardize procedures by implementing a single policy to the overall population of refugees, local actors try to adapt to individual needs and situations. The decentralization engaged by the French government a couple of years ago has two major consequences. First, it tends to raise competition among associations to get public subventions and – thus – the influence and decision power of those that received official mandate. Second, it increases the fragmentation of the French reception scheme and the heterogeneity of actors and procedures among territories. Our reports highlights differences in the way refugees are taking (or not) part in the allocation process locally, and regarding the consideration of their needs.

This country research report focuses on housing solutions for refugees and beneficiaries of international protection status in France. It is delivered under the H2020 project MERGING—Integration for Migrants. The main aims of this report are:• Provide a synthesis of the main legal structures existing in France delineated by targets (all arrivals, newly arrivals, refugees, vulnerable groups),• Classify policies depending on their scope,• Present the main debates in public policies about access to housing and access to the rest of social rights,• Identify tools developed in public policies to fight discrimination,• Describe the main tendencies in public policies devoted to social inclusion for immigrants during the last 10 years approximately,• Summarize the main ideological changes experienced in the last 10 years.The basic time frame of the analysis covers the years 2015-2021, however, where necessary we refer to previous years (e.g., important articles that shaped the field, political decisions and policy changes).The approaches and definitions applied in this report are broad. Indeed, one of the objectives of WP2 is to gather enough knowledge to develop a good understanding about the realities of housing for migrants in Europe. This step will allow us to identify a specific target population for the project. Consequently, the focus is on people who were forced to leave their domestic country, having or not an official status, or an international protection. This includes asylum seekers, refugees, temporary protection, etc.The structure of this country report includes several key parts, the first of which is this introduction outlining a framework for further consideration and embedding it in the context of the MERGING project and its WP2. It is followed by a presentation of the main legal structures existing in France (legal texts, organizations and responsible actors), 2) a classification of policies based on their scope and 3) a presentation of the main debates related to access to housing and social rights. Particular attention will be paid to identify tools created to fight discrimination, as well as the main trends in public policies devoted to social inclusion for immigrants since 2011. The report will conclude on a synthesis on the most important ideological changes experienced in the last 10 years.The next sessions provide a brief overview of our methodology, followed by a presentation of the characteristics and specificities of the French context regarding migrants’ access to housing.

International audience; How can artefact designers organize the convergence of a routine in practices towards the abstraction they attempted to materialise in the artefact? Based on the ethnographic study of the production of the “premiere” of an opera, we highlight three mechanisms by which they align effective practices with the abstraction encoded in their artefact. Our results complement our knowledge on creative organisations by illuminating how stage managers, designers of the promptbook, succeed to reveal the artistic spirit of an original work instilled by a stage director. They also enrich our understanding of the role of artefacts and their designers in the dynamics of organizational routines.; Comment le concepteur d’un artefact peut-il faire converger l’expression d’une routine vers la représentation qu’il a tenté d’y matérialiser ? L’étude ethnographique de la production de la première d’un opéra, met à jour trois mécanismes par lesquels il aligne les pratiques effectives des utilisateurs de son artefact et l’abstraction qu’il y encode. Les auteurs complètent ainsi notre connaissance des organisations créatives, en montrant comment le régisseur de scène, concepteur de la conduite d’opéra, révèle l’esprit d’une œuvre imaginée par un metteur en scène, tout en enrichissant le rôle des artefacts et de leurs concepteurs dans la dynamique des routines organisationnelles.

International audience; In French society, many aids are proposed for each kind of population. In the particular case of disabled persons, it is quite difficult to deal with all the different information coming from heterogeneous contexts. Such different knowledge cannot be directly integrated, so we propose to build ontologies for each aspect. Then, we manage the cooperation of these distributed ontologies through a relational structure. Finally, to ensure the representation of the guid-ance interactive process, we model a workflow to follow through the successive steps of an individual file. This file will go with the disabled person, first with its own information, then with some administrative information and lastly with ser-vice propositions. The process is recursive allowing a better long-term assistance monitoring.

International audience; Lyon 3iaelyon-Magellan research center This research investigates the value of a PhD for employment outside academia by showing how PhD holders create it through the help of intermediations during their thesis preparation. We analyse scientific practice through the use of Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to better understand PhDs' employment outside academia. With CHAT, intermediation on labour markets is seen via the lens of activity. Using a qualitative methodology, we interviewed 20 students who completed PhDs at the University of Lyon in France and who now work for private companies. Our findings show how the value of these PhDs is shaped both by what they do during thesis and by what they seek to become in their professional careers. We contribute to the literature by providing a new theoretical stance on intermediation in labour markets, and offer reflections for universities across Europe to tailor their PhD programmes.

The notion of impact is becoming important for international business schools, which are under increasing pressures related to their legitimacy. Although the term impact has gained in popularity, common approaches to business school impact rely either on academic publications or alumni’s salaries. To help uncover the potential for other approaches, we develop a conceptual framework as a basis for studying business school impact. The pluralism of approaches in terms of business school impact opens new spaces for original strategic choices, therefore limiting pressures for organizational isomorphism. Nevertheless, the notion of impact also has some limitations that need to be considered., La notion d’impact devient importante pour les écoles de commerce internationales, qui subissent des pressions croissantes sur leur légitimité. Bien que le terme d’impact soit devenu fréquent, les approches habituelles de l’impact des écoles de commerce s’appuient soit sur les publications scientifiques, soit sur les salaires des alumni. Afin de découvrir d’autres approches, nous développons un cadre conceptuel permettant d’étudier l’impact des écoles de commerce. Le pluralisme des approches en matière d’impact ouvre de nouvelles perspectives, et permet des choix stratégiques originaux, limitant les pressions à l’isomorphisme organisationnel. Toutefois, la notion d’impact a des limites qui doivent être considérées., La noción de impacto es cada vez mas importante para las escuelas de comercio internacionales, que están sometidas a crecientes presiones en cuanto a su legitimidad. Los enfoques habituales sobre el impacto de las escuelas de comercio se apoyan, ya sea, en las publicaciones científicas, o en los salarios de los alumni. Desarrollamos un marco conceptual que permite estudiar el impacto de las escuelas de comercio. El pluralismo de enfoques en materia de impacto de las escuelas de comercio abre nuevas perspectivas para tener opciones estratégicas originales. Sin embargo, la noción de impacto tiene también limitaciones.

International audience; Dans un espace international où les frontières politiques et économiques entre pays deviennent moins identifiables, le besoin d’ancrage culturel s’accroît. Cet ancrage est particulièrement nécessaire pour les entreprises confrontées à différents types de cultures (nationales, organisationnelles, sectorielles et fonctionnelles) qui, bien souvent, s’entremêlent et se combinent de multiples manières. Pour les acteurs concernés, l’enracinement local nécessite de répondre à des forces parfois contradictoires et de trouver des compromis stratégiques et opérationnels adaptés à des environnements particulièrement évolutifs et polymorphes.Pour traiter cette problématique, l’ouvrage s’articule autour de trois thématiques qui se complètent.– La première partie identifie les bases clés de l’ancrage culturel (socialisation, ethnicité, partenariats stratégiques…) ;– La deuxième partie étudie des espaces de conciliation pour mieux cerner les façons d’associer des cultures susceptibles de s’opposer ;– La troisième partie présente différents exemples d’applications géographiques, sectorielles et fonctionnelles en lien direct avec ces ancrages culturels.
