  • How Much Further for the Sub-2-Hour Marathon?
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 How much further for the sub-2-hour marathon? Sousa, Caio Victor ; Sales, Marcelo Magalhães ; Nikolaidis, Pantelis Theodoros ; Rosemann, Thomas ; Knechtle, Beat Abstract: The sub-2-hour marathon is a new barrier in endurance running performance, and it has been widely debated in the scientific community. In this review we present a mathematical model to estimate the possible year when a male could break through the sub-2-hour barrier, and also an estimation of when a female could break Paula Radcliffe’s marathon running record. Further, we present several aspects (ie, physiology, nationality, age, biomechanics, pacing, and drafting) that are associated with marathon running performance in elite runners and, finally, the possible characteristics of the male to break thesub- 2-hour barrier. In summary, with the results of the developed equations, it is possible that a male athlete can break through the sub-2-hour barrier in the next decade (with Nike Breaking2 performance 1920-2018 [NBP]: =0.0417-14.18 +3,128; year of 2026; without NBP 1920-2018: =0.045-15.12 +3,194; year of 2027). This marathoner will possibly have a maximal oxygen uptake >85 mLkgmin and should perform the race at a pacing higher than 85% of maximal oxygen uptake. In addition, this runner should pay more attention to strength training, endurance strength, speed training, and focus on running training at an intensity above the anaerobic threshold. Most likely, this runner originates from East Africa (especially from Ethiopia) and will have an age of 27 years.

  • Présentation De L'écosystème
    HEC MONTRÉAL La co-création de valeurs au sein d’un écosystème de marque par Éloïse Sarrazin Renaud Science de la gestion (Option Marketing) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. SC.) Décembre 2019 © Éloïse Sarrazin Renaud, 2019 Résumé Une riche littérature portant sur la création de valeurs en marketing existe. Or, sa conceptualisation est loin de Faire l’unanimité. En introduisant le Service Dominant Logic, Vargo et Lusch (2004) ont modiFié le postulat de la valeur. Selon ceux-ci, elle est désormais le Fruit de la co-création entre le consommateur et la marque. Dans cette optique, plusieurs chercheurs se sont penchés sur le processus de co- création et ont relevé l’importance des partenaires externes à la marque (Andreini et al., 2018; Clarysse et al., 2014; FroW et al., 2014). AFin de répondre au besoin de développer une structure de système dynamique, Vargo et Lusch (2011) ont présenté la notion d’écosystème de services stipulant que la création de valeur englobe l’ensemble des acteurs sociaux et des entreprises engagés dans des échanges avec la marque. Cette nouvelle conceptualisation de la co-création de valeurs engendre une transformation de la définition de la proposition de valeurs, ainsi que celle d’expérience de marque, puisqu’elles doivent désormais inclurent l’ensemble des partenaires de l’écosystème. Dans cette perspective, l’étude de trois écosystèmes de marque sur le marché de la course à pied nous a permis de cerner le rôle des diFFérents partenaires au sein de l’expérience de marque et de l’articulation de la proposition de valeurs.
