A processual approach to sensemaking is adopted to show how organisational and non-organisational members actively participated in meaning co-construct…

The use of social media for knowledge acquisition and dissemination in B2B companies: an empirical study of Finnish technology industries

2019

Scholars and practitioners of knowledge management have paid increasing attention to the adoption of social media in business-to-business (B2B) setting for knowledge sharing; however, both the theoretical and empirical research in this domain are quite fragmented. The aim of this research is to deepen the understanding about the B2B companies’ awareness of the potentials of social media in improving their absorptive capacity and, consequently, if and how such companies deploy knowledge strategies based on social media adoption. We carried out an empirical survey of Finnish technology companies operating purely in B2B markets. Results highlight that social media adoption is still in a prelim…

L'épée d'Onnen (Groningue, Pays-Bas), de la tourbière aux rayons X

2022

The Onnen sword was found in 1896 while exploiting a peat bog, about 1.5 m deep. It is a so-called “antennae” sword, named after the spirals at the top of the pommel and it dates back to last phase of the Bronze Age (ca. 9th century BC). The Groninger Museum now curates the sword with inventory number 1896/I 4. Although this sword is already mentioned in the archaeological literature, it was never correctly published. Its recent study in the cultural heritage agency of The Netherlands gives us a good opportunity to make a detailed presentation as well as to investigate its production techniques to discuss its possible origins.

L'économie matérielle de la France (1830-2015). L'histoire d'un parasite ?

2018

This article explores the long-term dynamics of material use in France over a period of 185 years. It is based on material flow accounts that are perfectly consistent with the standards of Material Flows Analysis at the national economic scale. This work - which covers domestic extraction, imports and exports - is the first long-term study of material flows for France, with annual and national data for most of the period. Our database allows us to study the evolution of French metabolism during the industrialization of the country, together with the increasing dependence on abiotic materials. We highlight a singular metabolic trajectory: that of a state that benefits from successive world-s…

L'organisation de l'université française à la lumière de ses processus de certification

1984

International audience; L'assimilation de l'école à la firme multiproduit autonomie soulève de nombreuses difficultés contextuelles. Malgré tout, l'utilisation au cas de l'établissement scolaire des outils classiques de la théorie économique de la production est susceptible de rendre compte des conséquences de ses pratiques éducatives sur un mode de fonctionnement. En faisant référence à ce cadre d'analyse, le propos de l'auteur est de révéler ici l'organisation actuelle de l'université française en examinant le rôle des divers acteurs dans le processus de production de diplômés et de vérifier, en définitive, l'existence d'un assortiment entre les établissements et leurs publics étudiants, …
