A quoi sert l'audit environnemental ?
2013
International audience; L'objectif de cet article est de comprendre le rôle de l'audit dans le domaine environnemental afin d'en proposer une taxonomie. A partir d'une grille d'analyse découlant des théories néo-institutionnelle et des parties prenantes, cette taxonomie est obtenue en étudiant les pratiques d'audit d'une entreprise française proactive en matière environnementale. Les résultats montrent qu'en l'absence de réglementation en matière de vérifications environnementales, l'audit peut remplir plusieurs rôles dans ce domaine : vérification de la conformité réglementaire, identification des aspects environnementaux d'un site industriel, analyse de cycle de vie d'un produit, vérifica…
Using VIS/NIR and IR spectral cameras for detecting and separating crime scene details
2012
Detecting invisible details and separating mixed evidence is critical for forensic inspection. If this can be done reliably and fast at the crime scene, irrelevant objects do not require further examination at the laboratory. This will speed up the inspection process and release resources for other critical tasks. This article reports on tests which have been carried out at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland together with the Central Finland Police Department and the National Bureau of Investigation for detecting and separating forensic details with hyperspectral technology. In the tests evidence was sought after at an assumed violent burglary scene with the use of VTT's 500-900 nm wave…
Accelerating the Americanization of Management Education
2015
The Journal of Management Inquiry astutely predicted in 2004 that the Americanization of business education would not just continue but increase. Ten years later, it is arguable that the acceleration of the Americanization of management education has exceeded all expectations. To theoretically build toward understanding how and why the American business education model has been adopted to different extents, this comparative study builds on the institutional logics perspective, arguing that different institutional logics can potentially explain the various forms and patterns of Americanization and how they are manifested in the world’s business schools.
Sir Thomas More's Utopia : An overlooked economic classic
2019
Sir Thomas More's Utopia, published in 1516, is a classic work of how to organise a society based on common property. With a unique mix of common property, institutions and sound economic insights, we argue that More built a framework for a society that could be viable in the long run. While the conditions that make Utopia work are quite restrictive, it does provide a sketch of a society where common property may not stifle long‐term development, but is associated with productive workers and people content with their lives.
Competing institutional logics in Soviet industrial location policy
2018
The Soviet legacy has been widely demonstrated to have had negative impacts on the regional and economic development of Russia. This article studies the mechanisms of competing institutional logics in Soviet industrial location policies as a source of this adverse heritage. The results indicate that prolonged competition between three institutional logics complicated the adoption and practice of consistent industrial location strategies and contributed to structural problems in economic geography. An analysis of Soviet institutional logics demonstrates parallel forms of competition and coexistence with findings from other institutional environments, paving the way for a broader theoretical …
Strengthening Institutional Isomorphism in Development NGOs? Program Mechanisms in an Organizational Intervention
2017
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in international development struggle between being actors in the mainstream or representatives of alternatives to it. However, many NGOs all over the world align with the mainstream and are increasingly similar to each other. This homogenization results from institutional isomorphism, which is affected by their aspirations to be legitimate vis-á-vis the international field. Consultancies are among the main practices to promote normative isomorphism, but little is known about their micro-level dynamics. Drawing on the notion of program mechanisms in realistic evaluation, we scrutinize how external facilitators in organizational development processes enab…

Saako tälle edes nauraa? : keskustelunanalyyttinen tapaustutkimus monitulkintaisen naurun vuorovaikutuksellisista funktioista pariterapiassa
2014
Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma tarkasteli laadullisesti monitulkintaisen naurun vuorovaikutuksellisia funktioita pariterapia-aineistossa. Tutkielman teoreettinen viitekehys on sosiaalisessa konstruktionismissa ja diskursiivisessa psykologiassa, ja menetelmänä käytettiin keskustelunanalyysia. Tutkimus on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston Relationaalinen mieli -tutkimushanketta. Aineisto koostuu kolmesta Jyväskylän yliopiston opetus- ja tutkimusklinikalla videoidusta terapia-istunnoista joissa on läsnä pariskunta ja kaksi terapeuttia, sekä istunnoista tehdyistä litteroinneista. Tutkimus keskittyy erityisesti asiakkaiden nauruun, koska aiempaa keskustelunanalyyttista tutkimusta asiakkaiden naurusta psykote…
