Publication Restreint The Role of organizational competences in the evolution of business models(Heidelberg Berlin Springer, 2010-10-01) Moreira, Matheus; Beauregard L., Robert; D'Amours, Sophie; Azouzi, Riadh.This paper presents the use of a conceptual framework designed for the management of organizational competences to contribute to the evolution of the business model of an enterprise. The framework, developed based on a detailed review of the history of the car manufacturer Toyota, was used for a Delphi study and an action-research applied in the furniture industry. The results suggest that it is applicable for ex-post analysis of organizational changes, as well as a strategy planning tool.Publication Accès libre Le management des capacités organisationnelles et l'évolution des modèles d'affaires : un cadre conceptuel(ACFAS, 2009) Moreira, Matheus; Beauregard L., Robert; D'Amours, Sophie; Azouzi, Riadh.Cette communication propose un cadre conceptuel pour aider l'analyse de l'évolution d'une entreprise. Ce cadre est basé sur le concept de modèle d'affaires et la théorie des capacités organisationnelles.Publication Restreint An agility reference model for the manufacturing enterprise : the example of the furniture industry(World Scientific Pub Co., 2009-12-01) Beauregard L., Robert; D'Amours, Sophie; Azouzi, Riadh.its drivers and capabilities, and even suggesting methodologies to develop agility. However, most of these efforts remain vague with respect to the characteristics and the expected contributions of the technologies involved or required. This paper proposes an agility reference model; a unifying conceptual representation of agility in terms of the necessary capabilities needed by every process involved in the enterprise seeking for agility. Agility is described using three capabilities which are believed to be the sources of competitive advantages; flexibility, responsiveness, and autonomy. It is shown that each capability addresses some specific issues and can only be thoroughly developed if the technologies used are characterized with some specific attributes or properties. The idea behind the proposed agility reference model was to derive a typology framework that emphasizes the taxonomy of the market interaction strategies for furniture products, and the competitive priorities that should be targeted by furniture enterprises aiming to be agile. Accordingly, the issues related to the different agility capabilities were discussed in the context of the furniture enterprise of the future. Then, the suitability of the proposed model for the derivation of the typology was explored based on case studies on two furniture manufacturing enterprises. The case studies analyze the context in terms of competitive priorities and customization strategies and investigate the agility properties of the technologies in use.Publication Accès libre Setting up an integrated plant of solid wood panels supplying the furniture enterprise of the future : an exploratory analysis(Congrès scientifique international sur la transformation des bois feuillus, 2007) Beauregard L., Robert; D'Amours, Sophie; Azouzi, Riadh.; Dessureault, YvesThis paper explores conceptually the overall implications, impacts and benefits resulting from setting up an integrated factory for the production of large and standardized solid wood panels as the prime raw material used by a highly automated solid wood furniture plant. The paper begins with an overview of the current value creation network of solid wood furniture from the forest to the customer. Then, a comprehensive assessment of potential opportunities for improvement leading to higher enterprise agility is conducted. The advanced technologies that can be introduced in the crucial processes are also reviewed. The expected gains in terms of agility are identified, and different hypothetical scenarios are discussed.Publication Restreint An agility reference model for the furniture enterprise of the future(World Scientific, 2007-06-05) Beauregard L., Robert; D'Amours, Sophie; Azouzi, Riadh.There is an extensive amount of research literature about the concept of agility, describing its drivers and capabilities, and even suggesting methodologies to develop agility. However, most of these efforts remain vague with respect to the characteristics and the expected contributions of the technologies involved or required.

Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses a clear and rigorous case study design and protocol. Empirical data are collected using structured surveys of two strategically selected furniture enterprises. The collected data are used to analyze the fit between the technology infrastructure of the enterprise and its strategic goals, and how this fit correlates with the theoretical categories stated by the typology. Findings – The case studies suggest that enterprise performance could be maximized if the competitive priorities and the customization strategy put in practice are in conformity with the available technology. Research limitations/implications – The findings of the case studies corroborate the all inclusive hypothesis suggested by the typology. The lack of triangulation of multiple data sources for more confidence about the results or the typology framework itself remains a limitation in this study. The two cases were representative to a certain extent of two out of the three theoretical ideal types stated by the typology. Practical implications – The explored typology can serve as a supporting tool for managers when making strategic investment decisions in their pursuit of a mass customization strategy within a specific market. Originality/value – The originality comes from the way the properties that should be displayed by the technologies used in furniture manufacturing enterprises to develop agility are drawn together.
