| Abstract: | Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative innovation with the potential to drive significant economic growth and productivity gains. This study examines whether AI is initiating a technological revolution, signifying a new technological paradigm, using the perspective of evolutionary neo-Schumpeterian economics. Using a global dataset combining information on AI patenting activities and their applicants between 2000 and 2016, our analysis reveals that AI patenting has accelerated and substantially evolved in terms of its pervasiveness, with AI innovators shifting from the ICT core industries to non-ICT service industries over the investigated period. Moreover, there has been a decrease in concentration of innovation activities and a reshuffling in the innovative hierarchies, with innovative entries and young and smaller applicants driving this change. Finally, we find that AI technologies play a role in generating and accelerating further innovations (so revealing to be “enabling technologies”, a distinctive feature of GPTs). All these features have characterised the emergence of major technological paradigms in the past and suggest that AI technologies may indeed generate a paradigmatic shift. |

| Abstract: | In an era of urgent societal needs and digital transformations, hospitals are under increasing pressure to adapt while delivering high-quality services amid constraints such as limited funding and workforce shortages. Innovation labs have emerged as spaces to foster bottom-up innovation, but their effectiveness in healthcare remains understudied. Using a case study approach, we explore the mechanisms driving hospital innovation lab strategies and their impact at different levels of the hospital system. Using impact mapping, we provide empirical insights into the role of innovation labs in hospital innovation focusing on the patient experience, the well-being of healthcare professionals, and sustainable hospital management. |

| Abstract: | This research investigates the complex dynamics of innovation postures inside family businesses, revealing a typology that combines a predilection for risk with a strong adherence to tradition. The diverse routes illuminated by the Seasoner, Re-enactor, Digger, and Adventurer attitudes inside family enterprises have a distinctive impact on the innovation atmosphere. Through an examination of the relationship between these positions and the aspects of the family system, namely aim variety and coherence, we can decipher the paradox of innovation willingness in family businesses. Moreover, succession presents a critical occasion for reorientation, providing insight into how intergenerational family enterprises manage the intricate equilibrium between risk-taking and tradition. |

| Abstract: | This research study discusses the role of knowledge management (KM) in facilitating the composition and development of partnerships in higher education (ESup). The article identifies and discusses the behavioral constructs of KM, in other words, the fundamental elements that indicate the behavior of higher education institutions (HEIs) and which have an impact on the development of a partnership. Furthermore, this work explores the institutional and partnership factors that affect the development of partnerships and draws up a list of knowledge management activities deemed necessary to help higher education institutions exchange knowledge in a partnership framework. The proposed conceptual framework can serve as a diagnostic instrument, helping higher education leaders, managers, practitioners and researchers to be able to assess institutional capacities for collaborative projects. This study takes an integrative approach to a systematic literature review integrating literature from the field of knowledge management as well as the higher education sector and collaborative working between higher education institutions. The work presented in this article aims to encourage further academic discussions on how KM concepts can be used to help higher education institutions work together and overcome the challenges of sustainability in the digital age.

| Abstract: | The technological innovation has become essential in the banking industry and has redefined the relationship between banks and their customers. The aim of this communication is to present a synthesis on the major theories and current trends of this innovation. Indeed, the literature shows tensions and shortcomings regarding the theoretical and conceptual perspectives of this innovation. In addition to these perspectives, we propose a new approach called Worm hole to allow banks to go beyond existing innovations by integrating emerging technologies such as the metaverse, AI, crypto-assets, and blockchain. This new approach offers banks the possibility to push the boundaries of banking innovation to reach new horizons of growth and untapped opportunities in an ever-evolving industry. |
| Abstract: | L'innovation technologique est devenue incontournable dans l'industrie bancaire et a redéfini la relation entre la banque et sa clientèle. L'objectif de cette communication est de présenter une synthèse sur les grandes théories et les tendances actuelles de cette innovation. La littérature présente en effet des tensions et insuffisances concernant les perspectives théoriques et conceptuelles de cette innovation. En complément à ces perspectives, nous proposons une nouvelle approche appelée Trou de ver pour permettre aux banques d'aller au-delà des innovations existantes en intégrant les technologies émergentes telles que les métavers, l'IA, les Cryptoactifs et la blockchain. Cette nouvelle approche offre la possibilité aux banques de repousser les limites de l'innovation bancaire pour atteindre de nouveaux horizons de croissance et d'opportunités encore inexploitées dans une industrie en perpétuelle évolution. |

| Abstract: | This comprehensive study delves into the dynamic interplay between internal control, audit, and digitalization within the context of Royal Air Maroc (RAM). Drawing from both literature insights and real-world experiences, the discussion emphasizes the pivotal role of effective internal control and audit practices in enhancing a company's performance. The literature review underscores the significance of employee involvement, clear communication, and the role of digitalization in modernizing control procedures. In parallel, the internship experience at RAM aligns with these principles, highlighting the importance of well-trained staff, benchmarking, and the willingness to adapt. The discussion further explores the challenges and opportunities presented by the digitalization of internal control, emphasizing the need for a strategic approach to gain buy-in from operational teams. The results accentuate the importance of internal control in preventing errors and fraud, making a compelling case for a continuous improvement mindset. The report advocates for effective communication to bridge the understanding gap between departments, underscoring the symbiotic relationship between audit and internal control. Additionally, the role of digitalization, encompassing technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and data mining, is emphasized as a key enabler for optimal processes and enhanced performance. |
