...I. LA MARQUE MOYNAT Historique Moynat – Maison de Malles de Luxe La Maison Moynat est fondée par Pauline Moynat, Octavie et François Coulembier en 1849, l’époque de l’Evolution Industrielle qui bouleverse les modes de vie et la manière de voyager. Les consommateurs étaient à la recherche des malles plus légères et plus adaptées au voyage notamment pour l’automobile. Cinq ans plus tard, Moynat a déposé son premier brevet concernant une toile forte imperméable enduite ce qui garanti des malles totalement hermétiques. La boutique, situé 1 Avenue de l ‘Opéra, commence à incarner l’effervescence de la vie parisienne synonyme d’un savoir-‐vivre qui allie le luxe, l’art et la mode avec bienveillance. En 1878, on voyait la naissance de la première gamme de sacs de ville et en 1904, Moynat a inventé une malle à talonnettes pour automobile, ce qui évite...

...Surrealism: The Connection of Conscious Meaning and Fantasy Where the Dada movement can be looked at as an instigator for a postwar “against-the-grain” art form and lifestyle, the Surrealist movement is the progression that stemmed from this beginning. Although the Dada movement was a direct response to World War I and its destruction, it was one that seemed negative and depressing in its approach. Their main slogan, “Plus rien, rien, RIEN, RIEN, RIEN” (Nothing more, nothing, nothing, NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING), reflected their “nihilism, or lack of belief in anything” (MSN Encarta, 2007). It was more of a politically rebellious action, rather than a solution that delved further to explore other options, as Surrealism was. Surrealism was mainly psychological, philosophical, and positive in its approach. Andre Breton, the founder of the Surrealist movement, explained his idea of Surrealism in his 1929 book Second Manifesto of Surrealism: "Everything leads us to believe that there is a certain state of mind from which life and death, the real and the imaginary, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, height and depth are no longer perceived as contradictory" (AlanGulette.com, 1996). This exploration of the subconscious is much more in-depth than the simple anti-art statement it was once created from. Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain from 1917 (http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/d/images/dchmp_fntn_low.gif) as well as his piece L.H.O.O.Q. from 1919 (http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/d/images/dada...

Nous nous sommes rendus dans deux entreprises ; une à Louvain-la-Neuve et l’autre à Nivelles.

Contrary to the economic benefits expected, recent findings pinpoint implementation hurdles that lead to a potential performance decline, the so-called ‘servitization paradox’. In this paper, we analyze this paradox by disentangling the value creation and value appropriation processes of 44 national subsidiaries of a global manufacturing firm turned product-service provider, in the 2001–2007 period. Our findings show...
