Business Model Disruption and the Disruptor’s Gambit

Based on a longitudinal case study, this paper presents an ecosystem-level process model of the interlocking key activities of the business model disruptor, other ecosystem participants (customers, partners, media, analysts), and the incumbent. Together these constitute a strategic process of ecosystem evolution from incumbent-centered to disruptor-centered. We identify the phenomenon of a “disruptor’s gambit,” where the disruptor reveals its intentions early on through effective framing, followed by rapid adaptation of its business model to satisfy ecosystem needs.

3 Essays on the Informational Efficiency of Financial Markets through the use of Big Data Analytics

FNEGE Prize for the Best Thesis in 180 seconds / AFFI Prize The massive increase in the availability of data generated everyday by individuals on the Internet has made it possible to address the predictability of financial markets from a different perspective.

Measure the impact of unfavorable weather to better protect sellers of seasonal products

Unfavourable weather has an impact on sales of consumer goods. It is now possible to insure manufacturers and retailers against this risk. To do this, we identify the climate variables that have the greatest influence on sales. Next, the financial risk associated with changes in these variables is assessed. Finally, it is possible to hedge this risk using financial instruments or insurance policies. These techniques are valid for all products whose sales vary greatly depending on the weather such as clothing, sun products, ice cream, etc.

Teaching the Sushi Chef: Hybridization Work and CSR Integration in a Japanese Multinational Company

While corporate social responsibility (CSR) is recognized as taking on various national meanings and practices, research has not sufficiently investigated how multinational companies (MNC) simultaneously achieve global CSR integration and local CSR adaptation. Building on a qualitative case study carried out at ASICS, an MNC headquartered in Japan, we show how this organizational dilemma may be solved through hybridization work, a form of institutional work performed by CSR managers in subsidiaries to combine and adapt different institutional approaches to CSR. The notion of hybridization work (1) reveals a set of practices that contribute to institutional change within organizations and (2) enriches the study of CSR organizational change and international business by showing how hybridization work leads to a greater integration between core and periphery, and by identifying the triggering factors for subsidiary initiative in CSR.

When values and profits collide: the case of concerned market innovation

Concerned market innovations acknowledge that businesses can no longer be driven by profitability alone and have to integrate non-economic values and collective concerns. Studying the evolution of such an innovation – a mobile phone recovery and recycling scheme - we find that social concerns enter the market and are integrated into its functioning through representational, exchange and normative practices. The integration of social concerns in the market results in the transformation of these practices so that they better fit the marketplace but lose their original form.
