- PublicationRestriction temporaireThe « hardening » of multinational corporations’ responsibility antecedents and consequences(Neuchâtel : Université de Neuchâtel, 2024-08-27)
; Ces dernières années, la réglementation de la responsabilité des Entreprises Multinationales (EMNs) est passée de mécanismes purement volontaires et d'autorégulation à des obligations juridiquement contraignantes, une tendance connue sous le nom de « durcissement » de la responsabilité des EMNs. La littérature précédente a cherché à mieux comprendre le déroulement de ces processus de « durcissement » et les instruments qui les facilitent. Elle a notamment mis en évidence le rôle des gouvernements en tant qu'acteurs essentiels, mais négligés, de la régulation de la responsabilité des EMNs. Cette thèse souhaite contribuer à la littérature sur la gouvernance globale et la responsabilité sociale politique des entreprises en ce qui concerne le « durcissement » de la responsabilité des EMNs en examinant en profondeur leur processus d'émergence, les rôles des différents acteurs ainsi que leur interaction, et l'effet qu'ils ont sur la relation entre les entreprises et leurs parties prenantes. Plus précisément, elle cherche à promouvoir la réglementation de la responsabilité des EMN en tant que phénomène réglementaire de plus en plus complexe et pluraliste qui implique des interactions entre des acteurs hétérogènes, entraînant souvent des contestations et des conflits, à différents niveaux d'analyse.
ABSTRACT:
The regulation of Multinational Corporations' (MNCs) responsibility has shifted in recent years from purely voluntary and self-regulatory mechanisms to legally binding obligations, a trend known as the 'hardening' of MNCs’ responsibility. Previous literature has aimed to better understand the unfolding of these processes of 'hardening' and the instruments that facilitate them. In particular, it has highlighted the role of governments as critical yet overlooked actors in regulating MNCs’ responsibility. This dissertation intends to contribute to the literature on global governance and political corporate social responsibility on the ‘hardening’ of MNCs’ responsibility by further investigating the processes of emergence, the roles of different actors as well as their interplay, and the effect it has on the relationship between firms and their stakeholders. Specifically, it seeks to advance MNCs’ responsibility regulation as an increasingly complex and pluralist regulatory phenomenon that entails interactions among heterogenous actors, often resulting in contestation and struggle, at different levels of analysis. - PublicationAccès libreStrategic leaders' ecosystem vision formation and digital transformation: A motivated interactional lens(2023)
; Steven FloydThe question of why and how strategic leaders differ in the ecosystems they envision is central to firms' digital transformation. We unpack the cognitive microfoundations of how strategic leaders form their ecosystem vision—a mental model of a firm's multilateral complementarities with its partners to realize a value proposition. Our motivated interactional lens emphasizes the role of strategic leaders' cognitive motivation for shaping four interaction types with (prospective) partners: participatory, selective, collaborative, and reclusive. We theorize how these interactions shape the changes strategic leaders make in their mental models, and thus, to envision different levels and types of complementarities with (prospective) partners in the digital transformation. Our theory illuminates the roles of strategic leaders, their cognitive motivations, and social interactions in firms' ecosystem leadership. Managerial Summary: Digital transformation is an ecosystem challenge for incumbent firms. As part of their ecosystem leadership, strategic leaders need to form a vision of how to complement their value offerings with (prospective) partners' offerings. This vision, in turn, can affect the types of ecosystems they enact. We develop a theoretical model that emphasizes the role of strategic leaders' cognitive motivation for the interactions they engage in with (prospective) partners and for the types of ecosystem visions they form as a result. - PublicationAccès libreBusiness Models for Sustainable Technology: Strategic Re-Framing and Business Model Schema Change in Internal Corporate Venturing(2022-8-22)
; Krauspe, TaoEstablished firms often develop new businesses through internal corporate venturing (ICV), for instance, to capture value from novel sustainable technologies. We illuminate the early definition stage of ICV’s by asking: When and how business model schemas—that is, managerial understandings of how value is created and captured—change in ICV? We conduct a qualitative, embedded case study of the change in a business model schema for e-mobility in a Swiss utility’s ICV. We uncover a key trigger: strategic re-framing—the active re-formulation of the definition of a given situation within ICV–top manager interactions. The strategic re-framing’s specificity level provokes either schema restrictions or expansions via the distinct accommodation practices it induces. Our theoretical model of business model schema change contributes to the literatures on managerial cognition, business models, and ICV, suggesting that business model schema change in ICV is a semi-autonomous process that involves both independent and joint endeavors. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementCerrejón and Colombia’s Guajira region: From protracted company-community conflict to earning a social license to operate?(2022-5-2)
; Cerrejon, a large-scale open-pit coal mine in Colombia that started operating in the early 1980s, has received multiple national awards and recognition for the various corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and programs it has implemented in recent years. Despite these initiatives, however, Cerrejon faces increasing stakeholder claims and continues to have conflictive relationships with local communities owing to differing interests relating to the use, management, appropriation, utilization, exploration, exploitation, conservation, and protection of environmental resources. The case documents the history of the relationship between Cerrejon and local communities. It introduces the mine’s history and of Cerrejon's mining and CSR activities. It traces the company's management of its social and environmental impacts in light of the applicable international standards. The case sheds particular light on the issues that underpin the company's conflictive relationship with local communities, who have a stake in the territory exploited by the company's mining activities. The case concludes with open questions concerning how Cerrejon, having increased its CSR activities while facing increased stakeholder claims, should continue to manage its relationship with local communities, to maintain or achieve a 'social license to operate' going forward. - PublicationMétadonnées seulement

Based on a qualitative, inductive case study of a UK-based digital platform's business model, we uncover the role of business model design. We find that the emphasis managers put on either the redistribution or the accessibility design theme shapes the environmental and financial value-creation, respectively and that a hybrid business model (i.e., realizing both for-profit and for-purpose value-creation) hinges on their integration. Two managerial drivers—strategic synergies and dynamic coupling—enable platform organizations to increase integration. We contribute to the literatures on hybrid business models, paradox, and business models for sustainability, suggesting that digital platforms not only create, but can actively manage the environmental paradox by integrating multiple design themes within hybrid business models.
- PublicationMétadonnées seulementEaaS: Electricity as a Service?(2019-1-30)
;Xu, Yueqiang ;Ahokangas, PetriInnovative business models have been transforming and disrupting traditional industries in an unprecedented speed. The energy industry is no exception. The advent of smart grid has initiated paradigm shifts from traditional product-based business models to service provision. An essential question is that, “How can energy industry create and capture new value from service business, turning the existing product-based business model to service orientation?” This study addresses research gaps regarding 1) the value perspective for business model; 2) the ecosystem thinking for complex industries; 3) maximising systemic value for an ecosystem rather than a focal firm. The study collects business model case data from BRIDGE, a high-level initiative of the European Commission uniting 31 major European energy projects. The research includes the full 50 business model cases contributed by experts from 15 EU Horizon 2020 innovation projects. The study utilises the 4C ecosystemic framework and the XaaS (Everything as a Service) digital service business model typologies. A key outcome is the proposition of Electricity as a Service (EaaS) concept with four service business model typologies for the energy sector, proposing a new service business paradigm for the energy ecosystem. The study proposes a value-based approach and service-dominant logic towards business model research at ecosystemic level. For the first time, the study introduces the XaaS service business typologies, investigating how this well-established ICT (Information and Communication Technology) business concept can enable the digitalisation of the energy industry. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementWhy is the Grass Greener on the Other Side? The Impact of Decision Modes on Investment Decisions(2019-1-30)
;Blondiau, YuliyaThis study examines the role of decision modes, defined as the qualitatively different manners in which choices are made, in location choices, which is a critical investment decision type. While the research has primarily emphasised critical antecedents of location choices, namely context-level, task-level or individual-level factors, we uncover the critical role of the decision process by investigating decision-making modes. Based on a verbal protocol study in a choice experiment of 12 location choices for wind energy projects, we uncover systematic differences in the utilised decision modes and their interactions. We showcase that one decision mode type, recognition mode, leads to an asymmetric evaluation of the project location options and is triggered by institutionalised expectations and beliefs. With these findings, we contribute to the literatures concerned with the psychology of location choices and investment decision-making generally. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementDigital Business Models for Local and Micro Power MarketsLocal power markets constitute one of the most radical transformations in the current energy system: integrating renewable energy and selling it at the source of generation. This chapter focuses on business model opportunities in local power markets and on the factors that predict the models' diffusion and acceptance by local citizens. Based on EMPOWER's local power market design, it describes two ideal-type business models. The first focuses on a platform that is hosted by a distribution system operator. It outlines a business model in which a host company acts as platform provider for individual customers. The second model showcases a business model that targets cooperatives as the customer segment and host of the platform. Social acceptance is a major predictor of business model success. An important aspect of more-sided digital business models is the process of co‐creating value.
