Para el enfoque cuantitativo se estudiaron 33 pymes utilizando estadística descriptiva, usando el software estadístico SPSS IBM; para el enfoque cualitativo, se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, aplicando una entrevista semi-estructurada, usando el programa Atlas ti 8. Los resultados arrojaron que los brokers si han influido en las exportaciones de uva, entendiendo que gracias los mismos se obtienen grandes beneficios, ya que promueven el libre comercio entre países lo cual ocasiona una suma positiva de ganancias económicas. / This research focused on analyzing the participation of brokers and their influence on indirect exports of fresh grapes from SMEs in the Ica Region in the period 2014 - 2018, the research was a correlational deductive quantitative approach and due to the characteristics of This study also used a qualitative research approach. For the quantitative approach, 33 SMEs were studied using descriptive statistics, using the SPSS IBM statistical software; For the qualitative approach, a non-probability sampling was used for convenience, applying a semi-structured interview, using the Atlasti 8 program. The results showed that the brokers have had an influence on grape exports, understanding that thanks to them they obtain large benefits, since they promote free trade between countries which causes a positive sum of economic gains. / Tesis

Alors que les avantages de l'innovation ouverte ont été largement soulignés dans la littérature, le recours à des intermédiaires pour innover nécessite encore de la clarté dans les articles académiques et dans la pratique. Nous avons donc passé en revue les différentes formes d'intermédiaires. Les ‘broker’, agents intermédiaire, permettent la connexion entre deux partiesdistinctes, l’entreprise initiatrice du challenge et les innovateurs. Impliquer le ‘broker’ dans les processus d'innovation ouverte peut être une stratégie efficace à mettre en place afin d'améliorer la capacité d'absorption de l’entreprise en déjouant les collaborations inadéquates et chronophages (Brown, 1991). Au centre de cette collaboration, le ‘broker’ est l'intermédiaire etl'acteur central permettant la connexion entre ces deux acteurs. Cette thèse met en avant la façon dont l’entreprise orchestre son ouverture à des innovateurs externes. Nous expliquons comment est géré le processus du point de vue de l’entreprise initiatrice à travers une étude de cas de l’entreprise Electrolux, son département d'innovation ouvert très avancé. Nous avons également souligné l’importance du ‘broker’ au travers de notre deuxième étude sur la conception et le contenu des plateformes d'innovation. Notre objectif final était d'expliquer clairement comment ensemble ces deux premiers acteurs peuvent assurer une innovation réussie en se concentrant sur les facteurs qui garantissent la qualité des contributions des innovateurs. Nous avons adopté une approche qualitative, nous avons analysé les données partagées par Electrolux (seeker) et ces ‘broker’. Nous avons également analysé les expériences d'innovation ouverte des acteurs en réalisant des entretiens semi-structurés. La thèse a mis en lumière plusieurs questions non étudiées ou que partiellement et nous apportons des réponses sur la façon dont les entreprises peuvent gérer leur ouverture, comment les ‘broker’ devraient concevoir leurs plateformes pourrépondre aux attentes des utilisateurs (initiateur et innovateur). Ainsi que la façon dont les initiateurs de challenge et les ‘broker’ peuvent mener ensemble des challenges d'innovation ouvertes réussis impliquant des innovateurs du monde entier. Nos résultats ont mis en évidence plusieurs lignes directrices pour les acteurs de l'écosystème de l'innovation ouverte impliquant un ‘broker’. Cependant, des études quantitatives seraient nécessaires pour mesurer quantitativement le succès de cette approche étudiée. / While open innovation advantages has been widely emphasized in the literature. Intermediation under its different forms still requires clarity in academic articles and in practice. We therefore reviewed the different forms of intermediation and we attempt to advance the uncovered field of the brokering form. Brokers act as bridge between two sided parties involved, seeker and solver. Involving broker in open innovation processes can be an effective strategy to put in place in order to enhance absorptive capacity by lowering inadequate and time consuming collaborations (Brown 1991). In the literature, actors initiator of the open challenges are called – seeker, and participants to the open innovation contest are called - solvers. In the middle, brokers are the intermediary and central actor connecting them together. They manage and provide appropriate network from same or different domain of application than the seeker firm. We aim to shed light on how seeker orchestrate or may orchestrate his openness. We explain the management of the process in the seekers’ side through a case study on Electrolux, well-advanced open innovation department. We also highlighted the brokers integration by fully concentrating our study on their innovation platforms design and content. Our final objective was to clearly explain how both seeker and broker may together ensure successful innovation focusing on factors that may ensure quality of the solver’s contributions. Our approach was totally qualitative, we analyze data available from Electrolux (seeker) and brokers. We also interpret participant’s experiences of open innovation with brokers by conducting semi-structured interviews. Our thesis shed light on several uncovered or partially covered questions. We bring answers on how seekers may manage their openness, how brokers should design their platforms to meet users (seeker and solver) attempts. As well as how seeker and broker together may conduct successful open innovation contests involving solvers worldwide. Our findings highlighted several guidelines for the actors of the brokering innovation ecosystem, however, quantitative studies are required to measure quantitatively the success of this approach.

The vigorous development of the internet has enabled e-commerce to take the world by storm, and in comparison with other industries, the security industry adopts information technology earlier and has relatively profound application compared to other industries. Facing the rapid changes of the market environment and high competitiveness, enterprises must establish unique competitive strategies in order to survive and keep growing; it is essential for companies to create competitive advantages.From 1988, new security firms were allowed to enter the domestic stock market and accompanied by the bull market, new securities firms sprang up like mushrooms in Taiwan. After mergers, acquisitions and the rise and fall of the stock market, Taiwan¡¦s government implemented the ¡§Financial Holding Company Act¡¨ in 2001; under this Act, financial holding companies can simultaneously provide comprehensive financial services, such as securities, bank and insurance. While the development of the financial market continues to become more diversified, international and larger, the domestic financial sector faces huge changes leading to the situation where philosophy: ¡¥the bigger, the stronger¡¦ prevails. The study takes ¡§S securities firm¡¨ as an example and utilizes its actual securities business to carry out a case study. While facing the rapid changes of international finance and high competitiveness, how a securities firm adopts the resource-based view (RBV), experiences future development and increases its competitive advantages, is examined. Through the data study of related industries, investigation of literature and theories and SWOT analysis, this study aims to understand the possible development and management strategies of e-brokers to increase enterprise competitiveness and market share, and achieve the goal of sustainable management. Joining financial holding company can possess several advantages, but it is not the only possible development for securities firms. During the times of low interest rate, any new financial instruments are easy to attract the attention of investors. Moreover, while competing against so many tough contestants, if securities firms can master the crucial competitive advantages and make a good use of them, the crisis might be a turning point. The study aims at analyzing small securities firms; while dealing with the management difficulties, they strengthen their competitiveness by improving service quality, building strategic alliance, carrying out customer-level analysis, creating a trustworthy investment environment, implementing diversification management, recruiting excellent talents, etc., in the hope of enhancing a steady and vigorous development for E-broker business.
