Applying a Behavioural and Operational Diagnostic Typology of Competitive Intelligence Practice: Empirical Evidence From the Sme Sector in Turkey
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2012) Wright, Sheila; A. Bısson, Chrıstophe Louıs; Bisson, Christophe; Duffy, Alistair P.
This paper reports on an empirical study conducted within the SME sector in the city of Istanbul Turkey. The findings from this study enabled the creation of a behavioural and operational typology of competitive intelligence practice one developed from the work of S. Wright D.W. Pickton and J. Callow (2002. Competitive intelligence in UK firms: A typology. Marketing Intelligence & Planning 20 349-360). Using responses to questions which indicated a type of behaviour or operational stance towards the various strands of CI practice under review it has been possible to identify areas where improvements could be made to reach an ideal situation which could garner significant competitive advantage for the SMEs surveyed. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group LLC.

A Competitive Intelligence Practices Typology in an Airline Company in Turkey
(Springer, 2020) A. Bısson, Chrıstophe Louıs; Bisson, Christophe
Oil prices, political instabilities, travel legislations, and many other competitive factors make it essential for any international airline with the instinct to survive to be on constant watch in such a fiercely competitive environment. To meet this need, it is vital for international airline companies to integrate competitive intelligence (CI) into their strategy building process. In this study, we create for the first time a typology of competitive intelligence practices of an international airline company (in Turkey), based on the model developed by (Wright et al.Journal of Strategic Marketing, 20(1), 19-33,2012), and it is one of the very first to investigate Competitive intelligence in this sector. Furthermore, we made a two-step cluster analysis to uncover hidden clusters that change the way of thinking within the company. Our findings show where the company would need to make improvements on the 6 strands of the model which are attitude, gathering, use, location, technological support, and IT support. Yet, that could lead towards stronger business performance. It might also inspire other companies of the airline sector and beyond.

Dissidents With an Innovation Cause? Non-Institutionalized Actors' Online Social Knowledge Sharing Solution-Finding Tensions and Technology Management Innovation
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2015) De Kervenoael, Ronan; A. Bısson, Chrıstophe Louıs; Bisson, Christophe; De Kervenoael, Canan Jouan; Palmer, Mark
Purpose - Traditionally most studies focus on institutionalized management-driven actors to understand technology management innovation. The purpose of this paper is to argue that there is a need for research to study the nature and role of dissident non-institutionalized actors' (i.e. outsourced web designers and rapid application software developers). The authors propose that through online social knowledge sharing non-institutionalized actors' solution-finding tensions enable technology management innovation. Design/methodology/approach - A synthesis of the literature and an analysis of the data (21 interviews) provided insights in three areas of solution-finding tensions enabling management innovation. The authors frame the analysis on the peripherally deviant work and the nature of the ways that dissident non-institutionalized actors deviate from their clients (understood as the firm) original contracted objectives. Findings - The findings provide insights into the productive role of solution-finding tensions in enabling opportunities for management service innovation. Furthermore deviant practices that leverage non-institutionalized actors' online social knowledge to fulfill customers' requirements are not interpreted negatively but as a positive willingness to proactively explore alternative paths. Research limitations/implications - The findings demonstrate the importance of dissident non-institutionalized actors in technology management innovation. However this work is based on a single country (USA) and additional research is needed to validate and generalize the findings in other cultural and institutional settings. Originality/value - This paper provides new insights into the perceptions of dissident non-institutionalized actors in the practice of IT managerial decision making. The work departs from but also extends the previous literature demonstrating that peripherally deviant work in solution-finding practice creates tensions enabling management innovation between IT providers and users.

Exploring Competitive Intelligence Practices of French Local Public Agricultural Organisations
(Halmstad University, 2014) Bisson, Christophe; A. Bısson, Chrıstophe Louıs
Modern agriculture has increased the need for information when making strategic decisions for farmers since they must be more entrepreneurial to survive. This paper investigates the levels of Competitive Intelligence practices in a French Regional Chamber of Agriculture and its four Departmental Chambers of Agriculture to examine the ability of these public organisations to keep fulfilling one of their missions which is to provide the necessary information and knowledge to farmers. Thus this study proposes a behavioural and operational typology of Competitive Intelligence practice. Both types of organisations demonstrate that they are not well adapted to support the entrepreneurial farmers on this issue. The findings of this study and the diagnosis of the Competitive Intelligence practices applied to the typology could be of help to increase their and other public agricultural structures performance levels. Furthermore the platform has the potential to inspire the public sector through subsequent adaptations.

Social Media Adoption: a Process-Based Approach
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016) Toker, Ayşegül; A. Bısson, Chrıstophe Louıs; Seraj, Mina; Kuşçu, Asli; Yavuz, Ramazan; Koch, Stefan; Bisson, Christophe
This research conceptualizes and measures social media adoption (SMA) of companies with a process-based approach and explains its antecedents of micro- and macro-environment size and ownership as well as its consequence of intention to increase resources dedicated to social media. Based on data from 310 Turkish small and medium enterprises the study first develops a conceptual framework on the pillars of internal and external stakeholder focus as well as relationship and information oriented implementation. Based on these two dimensions it discusses the novel concepts of social customer relations social stakeholder communication social intelligence and social responsiveness related to SMA. The study further indicates that ownership type and micro environment play a role in SMA and that path dependence exists in the interplay of current adoption and future intentions.

Strategic Early Warning System for the French Milk Market: a Graph Theoretical Approach To Foresee Volatility
(Elsevier, 2017) Bisson, Christophe; A. Bısson, Chrıstophe Louıs; Diner, Öznur Yaşar; Yaşar Diner, Öznur
This paper presents a new approach for developing a Strategic Early Warning System aiming to better detect and interpret weak signals. We chose the milk market as a case study in line with the recent call from the EU Commission for governance tools which help to better address such highly volatile markets. Furthermore on the first of April 2015 the new Common Agricultural Policy ended quotas for milk which led to a milk crisis in the EU. Thus we collaborated with milk experts to get their inputs for a new model to analyse the competitive environment. Consequently we constructed graphs to represent the major factors that affect the milk industry and the relationships between them. We obtained several network measures for this social network such as centrality and density. Some factors appear to have the largest major influence on all the other graph elements while others strongly interact in cliques. Any detected changes in any of these factors will automatically impact the others. Therefore scanning ones competitive environment can allow an organisation to get an early warning to help it avoid an issue (as much as possible) and/or seize an opportunity before its competitors. We conclude that Strategic Early Warning Systems as a corporate foresight approach utilising graph theory can strengthen the governance of markets. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

When Sharing Less Means More: How Gender Moderates the Impact of Quantity of Information Shared in a Social Network Profile on Profile Viewers' Intentions About Socialization
(Routledge, 2014) Baruh, Lemi; A. Bısson, Chrıstophe Louıs; Chisik, Yoram; Bisson, Christophe; Şenova, Başak
This study summarizes the results from a 2 (low vs. high information) × 2 (female vs. male profile) experiment that investigates the impact of quantity of information shared on a Social Network Site (SNS) profile on viewers' intentions to pursue further interactions with the profile owner. Quantity of information had no statistically significant effect on intentions to further socialize online. The two-way interaction between information quantity and profile gender was such that for male profiles more information increased profile viewers' intentions to further socialize with the profile owner whereas for female profiles the opposite was the case. The three-way interactions among quantity of information profile gender and profile viewer's gender underline a tendency for male profile viewers to respond more positively to higher information shared by profiles from their own gender. For female viewers this effect although in the same direction was smaller. © 2014 Copyright Eastern Communication Association.
