À la recherche du lien perdu entre caractéristiques des dirigeants et performance de la firme : gouvernance et latitude managériale
2008
Upper Echelons Theory and financial governance theory both postulate that CEOs have a determining influence on the performance with, however, a very significant difference concerning the influence of managerial discretion. For the first one, managerial discretion has a potentially positive influence on performance by enabling the managers' cognitive capacities to affect it, for the second one, a negative influence, insofar as it can lead to decisions conflicting with shareholders' interests. The objective of this article is, on the one hand, to compare the contents and the role of the managerial discretion concept within these two theoretical frameworks, on the other hand, to propose, in th…
Managerial Behavior in the Lab: Information Disclosure, Decision Process and Leadership Style
2019
This paper reports the results from a lab experiment in which subjects playing the manager role can implement either an efficient / inegalitarian allocation or an inefficient / egalitarian allocation of payoffs. The experiment simulates a stylized managerial context by allowing the manager to manipulate information and select the decision process and by allowing the stakeholders to retaliate against the manager given different choices in the decision process. We found that the inefficient allocation is often selected and that this choice depends on whether the employees can retaliate against the manager and on whether the manager can hide information about the payoffs. The social preference…
Les motivations des administrateurs des coopératives : une question de gouvernance revisitée par les approches de la proximité
2016
National audience; Comprendre les motivations des acteurs de gouvernance peut contribuer à favoriser la réussite et la pérennité de l’entreprise. L’article s’intéresse aux motivations des administrateurs pour mieux appréhender ce qui les incite à exercer pleinement leur rôle et à s’impliquer pour contribuer à l’atteinte des objectifs de la société. L’étude porte sur un type spécifique d’organisation, les coopératives, dont l’engagement des membres est souvent cité comme particulièrement fort. Les approches de la proximité sont mobilisées pour analyser les quatre principales motivations identifiées chez les administrateurs des coopératives : l’envie d’accroître leurs compétences, celle de dé…

Organisations de l'économie sociale et solidaire : quelle théorie de la gouvernance ?
2012
A major aim for cooperatives is to become the model of stakeholders' organizations while keeping profitable. This supposes to resolve the three following points: to ensure an efficient management of resources which makes it possible to carry out transactions at a cost lower than that which would take place on the market; to design mechanisms of corporate governance allowing expression and implementation of stakeholders' interests and expectations; to implement mechanisms of control allowing to evaluate the action of top executives, particularly regarding satisfaction of expressed stakeholders expectations.

La distribution : organisation et stratégie
2020
Croissance rapide de nouvelles formes de vente, stratégies de mutualisation des ressources logistiques, phygitalisation, plateformisation, politique de réenchantement des points de vente... Autant de bouleversements du paysage économique qui font désormais de la distribution une fonction clé de la gestion des entreprises. Comprendre et expliquer à la fois sa dynamique et ses enjeux revêt, à ce titre, une importance majeure. Rédigé par trois spécialistes reconnus du sujet, l'ouvrage se fixe pour objectif d'aborder de façon pédagogique les principales dimensions de la distribution : la relation avec l'acheteur final, la gestion des interfaces entre industriels et distributeurs, et les enjeux …
Intermédiation et création de valeur dans les canaux : une revue de littérature
2012
Marketing research has devoted more and more attention to the analysis of consumer behavior. Similarly, distribution research has focused on retailing and shopper behavior. But the dynamics of industrial and consumer goods markets, impacted by globalization and the internet, reveal a major reconfiguration of intermediaries in marketing channels. This article summarizes the major theoretical foundations of channel analysis drawn from economics, sociology of organizations, and strategic planning, to identify theoretical principles that may explain the changes in the functions of channel intermediaries, and their contribution to value creation in the channel.
The paradoxical management of service skills
2015
This paper focuses on service skills which are mobilized by front office agents when they are involved with customers. These skills are most of the time tacit. We consider that the way in which firms recognize these skills and contribute to their development is an important management issue. It is all the more important that a lot of jobs combine poor levels of qualification and highly situated skills.
