    LES CHAMPIONS DE L’INTERNET CHINOIS : L’ALLIANCE DU PARTI ET DES APPLICATIONS › Patrick Allard epuis les mesures prises par l’administration Trump à l’encontre de WeChat et de TikTok et la menace brandie envers Alibaba, le conflit technologique entre la Chine et les États-Unis a pris un tour bizarre en s’étendant à des sociétés gestionnaires Dde plateformes de jeux en ligne, de partage de vidéos, ou de com- merce et de paiement en ligne. Autrement dit, des entreprises liées à la consommation et au loisir.

  • Geopolitical Implications of New Technology: a French Perspective Council of Councils Annual Conference May 6–8, 2018
    Panelist paper Geopolitical Implications of New Technology: A French Perspective Council of Councils Annual Conference May 6–8, 2018 Council on Foreign Relations, New York, NY Marc Hecker, French Institute of International Relations During the 2017 French presidential election, the socialist party’s candidate Benoit Hamon advocated for a universal basic income. Arguing that the progress of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will destroy three million French jobs in the coming decade, he insisted that the workers replaced by robots or algorithms still be paid. The winner of the election, Emmanuel Macron, rejected Hamon’s idea. However, after one year in power, Macron has shown an interest in the potential harmful effect of new technology on the cohesion of French society, and, more broadly, on the world order. Several official reports released over the past few months have focused on new technology. First, the Strategic Review of Defense and National Security was published in October 2017.1 It includes a section on disruptive technological and digital innovation that stresses a double risk. On the one hand, “major powers are stepping up their efforts to develop leading edge systems (such as hypersonic and stealth), creating a risk of Europe lagging behind.” On the other hand, operational leveling risks—due to the widespread use of new technology, such as encryption or geolocation—benefit nonstate or hybrid actors. 2 Second, in February 2018, the French government released its first Strategic Review of Cyber Defense. It describes evolving cyberspace threats and underscores that major attacks can have “critical consequences for the Nation.” The review notes that cyberspace still lacks efficient international regulation and global powers have divergent perceptions of “the international security architecture that should govern relations between states in the digital age.” Hence, it recommends a reinforcement of French cyber defense capabilities and the establishment of a doctrine for action.

  • Trump, Celebrity and the Merchant Imaginary
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1057/s41599-018-0177-6 OPEN Trump, celebrity and the merchant imaginary Barry King 1 ABSTRACT This article explores the social ontological basis of Trumpism as a form of populism, historically defined as government by personal rule. For many commentators, the key feature of Trump’s presidency is its fundamental irrationality. The President has variously described as ‘dumb’, ‘greedy’, ‘psychotic’,a‘narcissist’ in the grandiose mode, and an ‘egotist’ unfit for public office. This article does not aim to dissent from these kinds of conclusions but 1234567890():,; suggests that they partake more of the statement of effects or consequences rather than causes. Indeed, if they are considered as causes they lead to confusion, a kind of ‘attention- deficit disorder’ (which, ironically, some accuse the tweeting President of being a sufferer). Rather this paper suggests that a more systematic examination of the President’s persona reveals it as emerging from a conflation of the discourse of the American family and a merchant imaginary. 1 Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand.

A simple market rotation or a more durable phenomenon? With the exit from the crisis getting closer, sectors shunned during the pandemic could actually benefit from a catching-up movement.

  • Trump, a Nationalist and a Populist Leader
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: F Political Science Volume 18 Issue 1 Version 1.0 Year 2018 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Trump, A Nationalist and a Populist Leader By Jose Pinto Lusophone University Abstract- In November 2016, against most expectations, even among some Republican Party’s members, and despite his lack of political experience, as he had never held any public office, Donald Trump won the presidential election in the USA through a campaign conducted against the political elite. During the campaign he presented himself as an outsider, as someone who would upend the corrupt political elite installed in Washington and that had no real touch with the citizens. An elite that was fuelled by money and often forgot the national interests. Trump was right when he believed that voters were expected to show their dissatisfaction at the polls. This essay reflects on the reasons underlying his victory and aims at proving that nationalism and populism were among them. It also tries to demonstrate that nationalism and populism are still present in Trump’s policies. An unorthodox President who, till the moment, is merely following through on his campaign promises and rules over the Un-united States of America. Keywords: USA, Trump, nationalism and populism.

Finance and Strategic Management Denise Gaia Jennifer Stefansson Supervisor: Steffen Brenner Number of pages: 102 Number of characters (including spaces): 216.349 Title: Silicon Dragons’ Business Model Innovation. An explorative case study. Master Thesis in Cand. Merc. International Business and Finance and Strategic Management Authors: Denise Gaia and Jennifer Stefansson Supervisor: Steffen Brenner Copenhagen Business School 2019 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore how Business Model Innovation is conducted in China. In particular, to unveil how the Innovation Ecosystem influences the process of BMI. The empirical context of the study is represented by Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, known as China’s Silicon Dragons. Furthermore, the nature of this paper is exploratory and follows a pragmatism philosophy. The study was conducted using an abductive research approach. Moreover, a qualitative strategy was used to gather empirical data, which was done through a multiple case study of BATX. The findings reveal that BMI was driven by external factors such as: ‘flaws in existing market’, ‘growing market’, ‘market disruption’, ‘changes in consumer preferences’. Furthermore, the companies pursued mainly adaptive and evolutionary BMI through micro-innovations. Among the capabilities fundamental to conduct the BMI process were strong leadership, entrepreneurship and being quick to seize and shape opportunities. The Innovation Ecosystem influenced the BMI process in several ways such as: ‘Access to a new market’; ‘Support to Technological Innovation’; ‘Co-Creation’; ‘Access to knowledge and resources’ leading to ‘Accelerate BMI process’. Furthermore, it was found that that the IE is a driver, enabler and success factors of Business Model Innovation.

  • The Digital Markets Act: European Precautionary Antitrust
    The Digital Markets Act: European Precautionary Antitrust AURELIEN PORTUESE | MAY 2021 The European Commission has set out to ensure digital markets are “fair and contestable.” But in a paradigm shift for antitrust enforcement, its proposal would impose special regulations on a narrowly dened set of “gatekeepers.” Contrary to its intent, this will deter innovation—and hold back small and medium-sized rms—to the detriment of the economy. KEY TAKEAWAYS ▪ The Digital Markets Act (DMA) arbitrarily distinguishes digital from non-digital markets, even though digital distribution is just one of many ways rms reach end users. It should assess competition comprehensively instead of discriminating. ▪ The DMA’s nebulous concept of a digital “gatekeeper” entrenches large digital rms and discourages them from innovating to compete, and it creates a threshold effect for small and mid-sized rms, because it deters successful expansion. ▪ This represents a paradigm shift from ex post antitrust enforcement toward ex ante regulatory compliance—albeit for a narrowly selected set of companies—and a seminal victory for the precautionary principle over innovation. ▪ By distorting innovation incentives instead of enhancing them, the DMA’s model of “precautionary antitrust” threatens the vitality, dynamism, and competitive fairness of Europe’s economy to the detriment of consumers and rms of all sizes. ▪ Given its fundamental aws, the DMA can only be improved at the margins. The rst steps should be leveling the playing eld with reforms that apply to all rms, not just “digital” markets, and eliminating the nebulous “gatekeeper” concept. ▪ Authorities in charge of market-investigation rules need to be separated from antitrust enforcers; they need guidance and capacity for evidence-based fact-nding; and they should analyze competition issues dynamically, focusing on the long term.

APRIL 2021 Understanding digital stakes to support business in China Intellectual property rights All Cigref publications are made freely available to the general public but remain protected by the applicable laws on intellectual property. UNDERSTANDING DIGITAL STAKES TO SUPPORT BUSINESS IN CHINA Editorial Editorial It is no longer possible to consider the global economy without taking into account the growing importance of China in international trade. This is also true in the digital sector. China has become a major player in the international digital sector, with a clear desire to become a leader in key technologies of this early 21st century. Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Alphabet and Chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board, stated back in 2016: “It’s pretty simple. By 2020, China will have caught up. By 2025, they will be better than us. By 2030, they will dominate the industries of AI.” This quote illustrates China’s ambition and its recognition by the major players in the digital economy. China’s digital strategy has led to the emergence of Chinese digital champions. Very quickly and with the benefit of a significant domestic market, they developed in China and then set out to conquer the world. Only the current geopolitical tensions with the United States, and in particular the technological war, represent a barrier in the international expansion of these players. More importantly, an excessive conflict between these two superpowers would weaken the global economy. Chinese President Xi Jinping said in his speech to Europe that he wants cooperation to prevail over competition, consensus over disagreement.
