Resistance of traditional wholesalers: a dichotomy of flows within the distribution channel

2020

The wholesaler has often been threatened with the risk of disintermediation both upstream and downstream of the distribution channel. Wholesalers, in their role as intermediaries, remain established in many sectors. The Internet has also generated a current of re-intermediation via digital platforms. The article starts from the premise that wholesalers are always essential players in the distribution channel and increase their value proposition through services and digital. As part of a qualitative study in the French market for the sale of building materials, an interesting phenomenon emerged. It is the partial disintermediation of wholesalers for the benefit of industrialists. This partia…

Immobility in appearance only: Ricoeur and identity dynamics in workplace experiences

2016

International audience; Immobility in one’s career, marked by a long period of stability in the same position, is not synonymous with the absence of identity mobility, on the contrary. This can be deduced from the information collected from 23 employees in a French association in the social sector. In this research we draw on the notions of idem, ipse and capacity developed by Ricoeur. A model of the cyclical identity dynamics in daily work experience has been developed, while contributing to the topics of identification and career choice. It also questions the impact of dominant social norms that favour professional mobility on managerial practices and deprive employees from a critical for…

Multifunctionality: refocusing a spreading, loose and fashionable concept for looking at sustainability?

2008

International audience; The notion of agriculture's Multifunctionality (MF) emerged in the 1980s. It then followed two trajectories since the 1990s: a conflicting period linked to its use in the international trade negotiations on the one hand, a spreading in terms of meaning, use and geographically on the other hand. Specific meanings appeared in connection with policy making, at national or international levels, or through the involvement of new disciplines. Yet, very few authors discuss the implication of the chosen meaning on their findings. To explore and take advantage of using this word and to deliver it from its controversial use in international trade negotiations, it is absolutely…

Is the improvement of the nutritional quality compatible with the maintenance of the sensory quality? : the example of biscuits

2013

French biscuit producers are willing to improve the nutritional composition of their products.

For. products reduced without adding polyols, adults less like fat- or sugar-reduced variants than. standard ones mainly when they were perceived as less sweet, and to a lesser e…
