Alochet Marc
Marc Alochet, an engineer by training, has spent most of his career in the engineering division of a European car manufacturer. In his last position, he was responsible for the "Vehicle and Powertrain Assembly Engineering" area of strategic expertise. In 2017, he joined the management research center at École polytechnique, where he defended a thesis devoted to the impacts of vehicle electrification on the architecture of the automotive industry (Rupture technologique et dynamique d'une industrie: la transition vers l'électromobilité - 2020). Since then, he has pursued his research into the evolution of the automotive industry under the impact of regulatory, technological and service developments.
Research topics
The influence of public regulations on the evolution of an industry.
While the traditional innovation extolled by Schumpeter, where a daring entrepreneur meets his market, is of course still present, we are witnessing the emergence of increasingly intrusive public regulations on the evolution of industries, both in terms of the directions they impose and their intensity and timeframe. The aim of this research is to assess the extent to which these regulations can contribute to forging new industrial dynamics at both local (a country, a region of the world) and global levels.
Case study: the transition to low-carbon mobility, comparing regulations in China, Europe and the USA.
The influence of technological developments on the evolution of an industry.
Numerous studies have defined innovation typologies and the influence they have had on a given industry (appearance of new players, disappearance of long-established players), or even on the creation of new industries. However, many of these studies are "a posteriori", and do not allow us to examine the mechanisms at work over time. The rapid acceleration in the introduction of new digital technologies may make it possible to carry out continuous observations and try to identify the mechanisms at play, as well as reporting on their importance.
Case studies: connectivity, autonomous driving and new automotive mobility services
