Résumé: Documenting strategy is necessary to improve the ability of decision support systems, in particular Data
Warehouses (DW), to satisfy the fundamental requirements of the enterprise and its chief executives. However, very few requirements-driven approaches have been proposed so far to design DW and even less to document enterprises' strategic objectives with a sufficient level of formality to do so. However, we believe that to align DWs to the enterprise's strategic requirements would allow to develop DW delivering more reliable support to strategic decision- making. Aligning the enterprise's strategy and DWs necessitates to specify both the DW requirements and the enterprise's strategy. This paper presents the CADWA approach that allows (i) to model the strategic objectives that must be taken into account in the DW and (ii) a way to plan and control its strategic alignment. The originality of our approach stands in the use of a unique modelling technique. The proposed approach is applied to the study of a Japanese retail company.

Résumé: Business-to-business electronic marketplaces or 'e-hubs' 'are increasingly being adopted by organizations
seeking to achieve dramatic reductions in cost. While initially heralded in such industries as the automotive sector as the key to restructuring old economy firms, the claims for e-hubs appear optimistic. This paper explores collaboration and interaction by examining four cases of e-hub adoption by vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. A conceptual framework emerges from this examination that helps to assess the real benefits of electronic applications - not the hyperbole - by revealing firm and industry level motivations and barriers. The framework explains the dissonance between expected and realised benefits, and extends the literature on IS (Information System) barriers. The investigation concludes with recommendations for how best to adopt e-hubs in terms of supply topology, buyer-supplier relationships, leadership, and the threat of disbenefit from e-hubs.

Résumé: Purpose - The purpose of this article is to present a model for sustainable innovation based on learning and
knowledge. Design/methodology/approach - Definitions of knowledge, innovation and learning are provided. Followed by a discussion on the link between knowledge and innovation, the concept of the nominal innovation probability space is introduced, built on the definitions of knowledge depth and knowledge diversity. Different learning styles are presented and how these can increase knowledge depth and knowledge diversity, improving a firm's position in the innovation probability space. A final description is provided of a model for the sustainable innovation engine. Findings - The article finds that learning is essential to ensure sustainable innovation. Innovation probability is impacted by the organisation's knowledge depth and diversity. Learning styles are correlated to the firm's innovativeness and competitiveness. Experimentation as a learning style is essential for discontinuous innovation. Learning effectiveness is increased if supported by a knowledge management approach. Sustainable innovation requires a positive feedback loop between knowledge creation (learning) and innovation. Originality/value - The article provides useful information on the introduction of the nominal innovation probability space based on a firm's knowledge depth and diversity; the concept of knowledge empathy; and the distinction between innovation and sustainable innovation and its importance for competitive and collaborative advantage.
