La Boîte à pathos, autour du projet Matériau Pathos (HETSR, Université de Lausanne, Théâtre Saint-Gervais de Genève)

Communication des résultats du projet "Matériau Pathos". Avec la collaboration de la HEAD (Haute Ecole d'Art et de Design de Genève), un ensemble de textes et d'objets ont été conçus pour être réunis dans une «boîte». La première conception de cette boîte et de son contenu a réuni Danielle Chaperon, Christian Geoffroy Schlittler et Julie-Kasuko Rahir. Le résultat de cette première élaboration a été soumis, pendant le semestre de printemps 2012 aux étudiants en Communication visuelle de la Haute Ecole d'Art et de Design de Genève (HEAD), sous la direction de Jérôme Baratelli, Benjamin Stroun et Paul Viaccoz. La production matérielle des exemplaires de la boîte Matériau Pathos est soutenue par la Société Académique Vaudoise.

Clustering and International Competitiveness of Information Technology Industry in the Saint Petersburg Area

The main objective of this study is to assess the potential of the information technology industry in the Saint Petersburg area to become one of the new key industries in the Russian economy. To achieve this objective, the study analyzes especially the international competitiveness of the industry and the conditions for clustering. Russia is currently heavily dependent on its natural resources, which are the main source of its recent economic growth. In order to achieve good long-term economic performance, Russia needs diversification in its well-performing industries in addition to the ones operating in the field of natural resources. The Russian government has acknowledged this and started special initiatives to promote such other industries as information technology and nanotechnology. An interesting industry that is basically less than 20 years old and fast growing in Russia, is information technology. Information technology activities and markets are mainly concentrated in Russia’s two biggest cities, Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and areas around them. The information technology industry in the Saint Petersburg area, although smaller than Moscow, is especially dynamic and is gaining increasing foreign company presence. However, the industry is not yet internationally competitive as it lacks substantial and sustainable competitive advantages. The industry is also merely a potential global information technology cluster, as it lacks the competitive edge and a wide supplier and manufacturing base and other related parts of the whole information technology value system. Alone, the industry will not become a key industry in Russia, but it will, on the other hand, have an important supporting role for the development of other industries. The information technology market in the Saint Petersburg area is already large and if more tightly integrated to Moscow, they will together form a huge and still growing market sufficient for most companies operating in Russia currently and in the future. Therefore, the potential of information technology inside Russia is immense.
