After the conference he organized last November 2011 in the framework of the Innovation & Regulation Chair events, Gerald Lang propose today a position paper on Multi-Channel Retail.
How do retailers adopt the recent technology developments linked to the internet and the e-commerce and the changing expectations of their customers towards multi-channel retailing? The technological developments oblige retailers to adapt their operational structures, resources and know-how in terms of customer relationship management, logistics, supply chain management etc. Furthermore, the diverging economic models on the different channels have to be aligned, and specific regulatory issues on the different channels have to be integrated. The chair asked G. Lang to write a position paper on these issues to provide an overlook of the literature and a broad overview of the different aspects and their interaction shaping the actual situation and ongoing trends in the sector.
Down load the position paper.

The Innovation and Regulation Chair will organize, next fall, a conference on the “Internet of Things – New challenges for Research”.
Questions at stake are multifold and remain mainly unresolved:
- How to characterize Internet of things?
- How far will the IoT transform internet economics?
- Local or global: objects being physically bounded, what does it mean for the internet of things to go beyond “local area networks of things”?
- How will the IoT transform the management of firms: their business models, supply chains, and control mechanisms?
- What about the openness of the IoT (technical protocols, intellectual property, control of platforms,…) and more generally its governance?
- Which new issues are raised by the IoT relating to privacy, ownership, responsibility? Do they call for specific new approaches?
In the framework of this conference, we propose to the contributors to publish their papers in “Communications & Strategies” - Digiworld Economic Journal, and authors will be invited to present their contribution and share their viewpoints during the conference organized in Paris.
Submissions are welcome (full papers) by April 20th, 2012 to: s.nigon@idate.org
