Purpose
In highly competitive industries such as the construction sector, companies with limited capabilities struggle to maintain their current standing, let alone acquire more market share. Before they are able to address their shortcomings, these companies need to pinpoint where their performance stands when it comes to market demand. Furthermor...
This article performs a systematic review of the research literature on the forms of collaboration among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) so that they reach the foreign market, since there is a lack of research focusing on the collaborative relationship between national companies as a strategic option for accessing the foreign market. In a...
The project-based construction industry finds itself in a paradoxical situation: while it weighs heavily in the world economy, it does have a history of low productivity. One important issue that plagues the industry is related to the challenges that stem from collaborative efforts (or lack thereof) between actors. The objective of this paper is to...
The use of timber as structural building material is growing and a greater number of firms are looking to enter this raising market. Erecting a complex timber building usually involves combining the work of architects, structural engineers, builders, suppliers and/or supplier–builders, all of them having their own business models. The purpose of th...
The implementation of a new information system could be a risky decision for any company. In fact, many implementation decisions fail. Studying the success of IS adoption is necessary to identify the factors that impact success and to prevent risk. Many predictive algorithms and models have been used in order evaluate the IS adoption. This paper su...
Timber structures in construction have become more popular in recent years. Nevertheless, besides the complexity of designing, contracting and building these structures, a barrier to their market growth is the complexity of their supply chain relationships encompassing architects, engineers, builders and suppliers. The objective of this study is th...
With the Canada First Defence Strategy, Canada has put forth a major opportunity to reconcile national security imperatives and industrial policy. The Jenkins Report (2013) set out to examine ways to use that procurement effort to foster key industrial capabilities (KICs) that would put the Canadian defence industry at an advantage both nationally...
Nespresso is one of the most successful and innovative ventures in the consumer product industry in recent decades. Yet, it remains relatively understudied. The purpose of this paper is to provide an integrative insight into the ‘Nespresso model’. We focus on a firm-centric research strategy that is anchored in a systematic review of the academic l...
Steel and concrete are traditionally used as structural materials for non-residential and multi-housing buildings. However, wood can meet the same structural property requirements, and a variety of multi-story buildings have recently been built all over the world using this key material. In this study, the main motivations and barriers to wood adop...

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to examine how security-related issues affect business in an integrated economic space. North America is an interesting case, as Canada and the USA have historically been highly integrated economies.
Design/methodology/approach
– Research that focuses on the relationship between security and business is revie...
Regardless of organizations’ purposes, one thing is common to all: they must strive for organizational continuity. As globalization increases the exposure of organizations to various risks, many of them unknowingly leave their operations exposed to breakdown, thereby jeopardising the continuity of their organization. With the recent heightened awar...
Purpose
– Economic agents in systems (individuals, firms, government organizations, etc.) engage in a wide range of cooperative activities that may be mapped as networks. This paper aims at determining whether alliances embedded in such networks show higher densities of interaction between agents than other network subsets.

This ongoing exploratory research seeks to identify the impact of IT capabilities on organizations' performance in an offshoring context. It seeks as well to validate the research model developed. An analysis of the antecedents of the setup of IT capabilities is also done. Through the analysis of cases involving real-life SMEs, we want to enrich th...
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to organize the theoretical landscape surrounding explanations of the impact asymmetry and heterogeneity on inter‐firm relationships, especially alliances.
Design/methodology/approach
A conceptual framework integrating the resource‐based view, transaction cost economics and industrial organization is put forth...
The purpose of this paper is to examine how to maintain robust and effective decision capabilities for organizations involved in critical operations. Following a multidisciplinary review of the literature, we propose an integrative and cumulative view that is articulated threefold. First, we present an operations resource management, or ORM, framew...
The authors argue concept North American integration should be revisited and extended beyond traditional trade theory. After taking a look at its architecture, we present a perspective articulated around the conflicting interests of businesses, government and civil society. We conclude by suggesting an agenda for academics and practitioners.
This paper proposes a framework for understanding knowledge-related asymmetries in strategic alliances. Their effect on alliance stability, on the realizations of the goals and purposes of the alliance, and on partners’ individual performance is examined. Information asymmetries are thought to have a negative impact on the stability of the alliance...
What network characteristics drive organizations to collaborate with one another within a social network setting? We study a sample of 37 armed forces that have collaborated through large-scale international exercises (1991 – 2001). We find that being a member of many cliques has a positive and significant impact on collaboration.
What network characteristics drive organizations to collaborate with one another within a social network setting? We put forth the importance of various perspectives on embeddedness. Our paper draws on social network perspectives and the resource-based view. We test our hypotheses on a sample of 37 armed forces that have collaborated through large-...

... In order to eliminate environmental constraints, construction companies adopt business model innovation to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage in a dynamic environment. The categories range from business models themed on industrial parks, cultural tourism real estate, recreation centers, and TOD models to circular economy business models (Lee et al., 2016(Lee et al., , 2017Heesbeen and Prieto, 2020;Das et al., 2021;Gosselin et al., 2021). This paper argues that in a dynamic environment, companies adopt different strategic orientations to form a sustainable competitive advantage for the company (Spanjol et al., 2012;Cheng and Sheu, 2017;Han and Zhang, 2021). ...
... The literature suggests that wood construction and prefabrication have significant advantages for construction, but they are not sufficient for rapid acceleration of multi-story wood construction activity [21,33,36]. Lack of experience in using wood and dependencies on pre-established practices with concrete and steel continue to be the main barriers to integrating wood in multi-story construction [21,30,32,35]. ...

... It is found that big infrastructure projects in the USA executed with DB contracts have noticeably reduced the delivery and building time compared to similar projects executed with DBB contracts (Shrestha et al., 2012). It seems that DB is a more reliable and faster delivery system, which leads to a slightly lower claim rate (Plusquellec et al., 2017). ...
... There are considerable differences as to the extent of wood-based construction in different parts of Europe, often attributed to differences in traditions, culture, and the associated technical know-how of building with wood (e.g. Jonsson 2009, Mahapatra & Gustavsson 2009, Hurmekoski et al. 2015, Gosselin et al. 2017. Likewise, national policy initiatives aiming to bolster wood construction, as well as the supply of wood, differ considerably across Europe. ...
... L'étude qualitative confirme des usages numériques différenciés, mais elle montre également qu'aucune entreprise ne semble faire de son profil numérique un élément moteur, voire différenciant de sa stratégie d'innovation ou de sa stratégie d'entreprise. En cela, il serait intéressant de continuer à investiguer les cas afin Lyon, 7-9 juin 2017 d'évaluer plus finement si les stratégies numériques des PME peuvent être considérées comme alignées avec leur stratégie générale (Rougès et al., 2009). ...

... Researchers agree that terrorism can cause immediate economic damage on the macro-and micro-level, but that it can also catalyse economic growth (Asongu and Kodila-Tedika, 2017;Çinar, 2017;Isola et al., 2019). This is leading to a re-evaluation of business strategies by corporations of their global and domestic practices (Cimon and Papadopoulos, 2014;Czinkota et al., 2010). ...

... In reality, over the past decades, the number of inter-organizational relationships has grown exponentially. In addition to strategic alliances, researchers have proposed concepts such as the investment portfolio (Wassmer, 2010), strategy networking (Möller and Halinen, 1999;Gulati et al., 2000;Möller and Svahn, 2003;Möller et al., 2005;Möller and Rajala, 2007;Cimon, 2013), relationship maps (Dyer and Singh, 1998), and business networks (Ritter et al., 2004). Nonetheless, strategic alliances and alliance management skills are regarded as important sources of competitive advantage (Dyer and Singh, 1998;Ireland et al., 2002;Schreiner et al., 2009). ...
