  • Authors: David W. VERSAILLES and Valerie MERINDOL
  • Title (EN): "Boundary objects as the missing link in resources orchestration:
    an exploratory study of Dassault Mirage IV and Rafale programs"
  • Title (FR): "[Les objets frontières comme lien manquant dans l'orchestration des ressrouces:
    une étude exploratoire des programmes Mirage IV et Rafale de Dassault Aviation]"
  • Journal: Management International (Canada)
  • Ref: vol 23, nb 4, pp 102-117
  • Abstract (EN): In this contribution, we investigate the use of boundary objects (Star and Griesemer) for the orchestration of resources (Teece). We propose a comparative case study elaborating on two Dassault Aviation military fighters under an abductive approach. In this contribution, we elaborate on the micro-foundations approach. Our contribution discusses several properties of boundary objects in relation with the orchestration of resources: type, granularity, openness, malleability, and completeness. We conclude that boundary objects are critical to orchestration. Their properties explain why they diversely impact on sensing, seizing and reconfiguring. They elaborate on knowledge articulation and teamwork, and require specific ways of working.

  • Title (FR): "[xxx]"
  • Journal: Management International
  • Ref: vol 23, nb 14, pp. 18-29
  • Abstract (EN): This position paper updates about methodological and epistemological issues on the micro-foundations perspective. We propose that conceptual divergences between the different streams of contributions to dynamic capabilities (DCs) research (the Eisenhardt versus Teece divide) hide discrepancies about methodological aspects, and about the locus of DCs. We zoom out from current epistemological debates about the microfoundations to explain the necessity of multi-level approaches, and to clarify the interpretation of the Boudon-Coleman “bathtub”. We elaborate on these aspects to explain how to enhance research on DCs, and more generally in strategic management. We discuss specific issues in relation with the selection of units of analysis and with the elaboration of field research protocols. We also propose practical recommendations adhering to the micro-foundations approach.
