When does university research get commercialized? Institutional and individual level predictors of commercial outputs from research-council funded projects

We examine the tensions that make it difficult for a research-oriented university to achieve commercial outcomes. Building on the organisational ambidexterity literature, we specify the nature of the tensions (between academic and commercially-oriented activities) at both institutional and individual levels of analysis, and how these can be resolved. We test our hypotheses using a...

Integrating latent variables in discrete choice models – How higher-order values and attitudes determine consumer choice

Integrated choice and latent variable (ICLV) models represent a promising new class of models which merge classic choice models with the structural equation approach (SEM) for latent variables. Despite their conceptual appeal, to date applications of ICLV models in marketing are still rare. The present study on travel mode choice clearly demonstrates the value of ICLV models to...

Power maximization, hegemony and the unipolar international structure

Définir la structure internationale contemporaine comme unipolaire est devenu un fait accepté par l'ensemble de la communauté scientifique. Cependant, qu'entend-on par unipolarité? En d'autres termes, comment la structure unipolaire affecte-t-elle le comportement de la puissance hégémonique? Cette thèse tente d'apporter un cadre d'intelligibilité permettant...

ABSTRACT The creation of the Single European Market has been accompanied by an intense discussion on whether market-creating measures have been privileged over market- correcting ones by the institutional system of the EU.
