“…The contribution follows a research project commissioned by the French Ministry of Defense that focused on the management of innovation for ‘dual‐use' technologies. Potential applications for civilian, defense or security‐related markets exist; funding schemes for R&D do not determine application domains (Mérindol and Versailles, ). This topic has been present in the analysis of defense‐related industries for a long time; it gained renewed importance when Defense budgets began to shrink at the end of the 1990s.…”

This research focuses on managerial roles and practices in the local-global deployment of the orchestration of resources. We aim at understanding how local and global managers contribute to 'sensing', 'seizing' and 'reconfiguring' in a transnational firm. We offer an exploratory, explanatory and theory-building case study and an abductive method grounded in the microfoundations of managerial activities. The field research develops inside THALES business units. We obtain two main conclusions that are consistent with our abductive method: we characterize how the boundary-spanning function serves the orchestration of resources and highlight the importance of team and network boundary-spanning modalities. We identify the complementarities between local and global boundary spanners, and we show that rules create the framework suited to empowering the dynamics of team or network boundary spanning at the local and global levels.

“…Brickey [22] demonstrated the successful application of knowledge management theory between the US military and civil communities, enriching the theoretical system of military-civilian collaborative innovation. Merindol [23] took the application of dual-use policies in the framework of Knowledge-Oriented Policies (KOP) in France from 1990 to 2000 as an example; research conclusion is that dual-use policies represent now a dimension central to military R&D policies and should not be understood only as a civilian-military transfer mechanism. Totimeh [24] explored and identified the qualitative case study with the success factors needed to successfully implement knowledge management in a military-civilian organization.…”

The military-civilian collaborative innovation is an implementation path for most countries to develop strategic emerging industries. The satellite industry is an important area in strategic emerging industries. Based on the evolutionary game theory, we build an evolutionary game model of China's satellite industry military-civilian collaborative innovation with military enterprises and civil enterprises as the main participators under the bounded rationality. Then we analyze the long-term evolution of the system and the factors influencing cooperative stability and perform numerical simulation using Matlab. Our research shows that the cooperative stability of China's satellite industry military-civilian collaborative innovation is positively related to the cooperation revenue, liquidated damages, and government incentives and negatively related to basic income, R&D costs, information communication costs, technology secondary conversion costs, risk costs, and betrayal income. The reasonable income distribution coefficient is conducive to the cooperative stability, and we give a primary standard for government incentives. Finally, corresponding management implications are put forward.

“…Therefore, its development has led to a greater number and diversity of companies receiving funds (particularly in terms of size and sector). 4 For this reason, and at the same time, the Ministry of Defense redefined its priorities: focusing its funding efforts on financing specifically military technologies, and leaving dual technology financing to civil ministries (Mérindol and Versailles, 2010). 5 More generally, we saw the end of the era of large-sale programs (Cohen, 2007), with the role of the General Directorate for Armament (Direction Générale pour l'Armement, DGA) being redefined (Lazaric et al, 2011) and the development of a knowledge distribution policy (to use the distinction introduced by Ergas, 1987) marked by the emergence of new dynamics, such as competitiveness clusters (Brette and Chappoz, 2007).…”

“…However, these firms are major players in the NIS of a number of European countries, although their role has changed considerably over the last three decades (Mérindol and Versailles, 2010;Lazaric et al, 2011). Such great changes have sometimes led to the belief that defense firms have lost their place as technological driving forces, when in fact their role remains significant (Serfati, 2008).…”

The structural changes inside the French innovation system have impacted the role of defense firms since the late 1980s. Major changes have affected the defense budget and public R&D funding system in particular. The aim of this article is to understand French defense firms' repositioning within the National Innovation System (NIS) based on an analysis of their R&D behavior over a long period of time (1987 to 2010). We show that French defense firms remain major players in the NIS and faced up to these major changes by adapting the funding of their R&D and their research priorities and rolling out new innovation capabilities. Additionally, they developed new innovation models to take advantage of new collaborative partnerships developed for civil and military markets.JEL classification: G32, 032
