The first has mainly focused on e-government, drawing on the theory of innovation diffusion as a general framework, while the second has mainly applied the administrative policy diffusion framework to the specific case of American states. Inspired by institutional theory, this second framework has not been applied to the case of European local governments. Furthermore, each framework has been mobilized by studies examining separately one of the two levels of e-government diffusion: website implementation or website services development. The aim of our paper is to examine if technological and administrative policy innovation factors impact the level of e-government development by municipalities. For that purpose, the paper collected data from a sample of 5,108 municipalities located in the French Grand Est region. \u0000 JEL Codes: H70, M10","PeriodicalId":151329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation Economics & Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133096912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article investigates the process of developing constructive debate within a space in the healthcare sector. It does so through a longitudinal case study of a space that gathers together different professionals who propose innovative practices to meet the unusual needs of mental health clients. Using the angle of boundary work, we identified three successive configurations during implementation of the space and three forms of boundary work practices engaged in by managers to develop constructive debates. Our contribution to the literature is twofold: 1) we show the supportive effect of creating new boundaries for constructive debate; and 2) we enrich the literature of ecology of spaces by suggesting that interactions between spaces are not restricted to external spaces, but also include embedded spaces.

However, the increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes requires new forms of collaboration and organisation that challenge the traditional boundaries of care. Based on a qualitative study of individuals with diabetes, we describe the experiences of patients with their disease, and also the impacts on relationships with their families and friends, other health professionals, as well as with other patients. We show that including patients’ experiences in a better way stretches the traditional boundaries of healthcare pathways, which requires openness and flexibility.

{"title":"Coworking Spaces: New Places for Business Initiatives?","authors":"D. Tremblay, Arnaud Scaillerez","doi":"10.3917/jie.pr1.0063","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3917/jie.pr1.0063","url":null,"abstract":"Increasingly present in many countries, coworking spaces can become spaces for sharing and collaboration to improve the work conditions of self-employed workers, but also of entrepreneurs and salaried workers, although there has been much less study of these. Indeed, there are numerous studies on the self-employed in coworking spaces but few of them are dedicated to entrepreneurs and salaried people, in spite of this population being one of the targeted customers of these spaces. It is thus important to start studying this population of salaried workers and entrepreneurs to identify their interests and strategies in a coworking context. Our article contributes to this, all the more so since these groups are found more in small cities and villages, less in large cities, which mainly host the self-employed. As there is a gap in the literature on these groups, we thus studied the interest of coworking spaces for small firms’ employees and entrepreneurs, a result which contributes to a better understanding of coworking and which can help in establishing coworking spaces in rural and peri-urban contexts, where they are less present to this day. This research thus contributes to knowledge of the benefits of coworking spaces for entrepreneurs and salaried workers. As has been observed elsewhere in Canada, this population of coworkers is especially critical for spaces located in rural or peri-urban areas where the number of self-employed does not allow the development of solid business models and ensure the viability of the coworking spaces. This research shows that there is definitely an interest in this type of business perspective. To answer this question as to the interest of salaried coworkers from small firms and entrepreneurs, we interviewed the founders, entrepreneurs and employees of companies using these spaces in Quebec. The goal is to better understand the strategies that facilitate business initiatives and their success in a coworking context.

One promising technology to help retailers cope with the ongoing retail crisis is mobile self-checkout systems (MSCOS). However, there have been issues with MSCOS implementation. This study aims at gaining a better understanding of consumer needs related to MSCOS. Using diffusion of innovation as its theoretical lens, we explore the impact of relative advantage, trialability, compatibility, and ease of use on MSCOS adoption. Since MSCOS involves financial transactions, we also consider the impact of perceived privacy, accuracy, and security. A crowdsourcing data collection resulted in 302 responses from US respondents. Findings support that relative advantage, trialability, and perceived security positively affect usage intention. Moreover, compatibility and ease of use positively affect relative advantage, and perceived privacy and accuracy positively affect perceived security. This study provides significant insights and implications for both innovation adoption research and retail practice.\u0000 JEL Codes: O300, O330, M150","PeriodicalId":151329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation Economics & Management","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130037872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although recent studies show a moderating role of human resource management (HRM) practices on this relationship, they focus only on some specific HRM practices and do not grasp their effects on the different phases of the lean adoption process. By considering lean manufacturing as a managerial innovation, the objective of this paper is to explore the relationship between lean, HRM practices, and worker health according to the firm’s lean maturity (i.e. intensity of usage and stage of adoption). The results, based on three case studies of French industrial firms, show that the effects of lean practices on worker health should be assessed in light of the combination of lean and HRM practices that differ along the lean process.JEL Codes: M10, M11","PeriodicalId":151329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation Economics & Management","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116626287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
